Great episode!!! Love to see more Vayniacs on the show as well as higher end bottles. Even before watching I thought the Giacosa would show much better but that’s how it goes sometimes. Kudos to Joe G and you as well, Gary. The party at WL looks like a blast.

QOTD – Why do I drink wine? It stirs up emotion, thought, is damn tasty, and creates beautiful memories with loved ones. What else can you ask for?

QOTD: Wine is an excellent companion with foods.

qotd:

I have always loved food – the flavors, the textures, the people. There is always new food out there to try and explore. To me, wine is like that food that you tried and didn’t like, but came back to and didn’t know why – almost like coffee in that sense. And then it grows on you, and you learn to love it.

Variety, to me, is the spice of life. And nothing comes more varied than bottles of wine – even the same bottle on a different day, from a different glass, with a different person. That and it’s such a labor of love – from the people whom make it, to those whom save up to buy it. What can I say? – wine, like food encapsulates everything I love about life!

Joe, Excellent Question of the day:

Why do I drink wine –

I drink wine and coffee for similar reasons – each are so complex and so different year to year, plantation to plantation, vineyard to vineyard that it’s impossible to know everything. I drink for the adventure. Each glass of wine is different, each brew of coffee is unique. Each is beautiful in it’s own way.

I drink wine because I love how it tastes, and how it always tastes like so many different things! But yet it’s grapes! That is just so amazing to me. It reminds me how things are not always as they seem, and how you can always be surprised by the complexity and depth (or lack there of) of someone or something.

Wine = life. in a bottle. made out of grapes.

This episode made me uncomfortable. I felt alot of underlying tension between Gary and Joe. Kind of like a Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck episode. I couldn’t enjoy it. Just being honest.

QOTD: I drink wine because I can have a different one every day of my life and never repeat one.

Joe is bitchin’ AND Bad ass! Looking forward to meeting you and sharing wine in person. I’ve already met Gary.

I think I really love wine cause of the connection it fosters with some great, like-minded people.

Thanks for a fun day Gary! Joe G. rocks – great guest.

QOTD: Because I like to discover the taste of new and yummy flavors, and getting a buzz while I’m at it

Nice job, Joe G. Very knowledgable, good analogies.

QOTD: Opening each bottle is like being introduced to a new person every time. The individuality of each wine is endless. Sharing the wine with others and making so many new discoveries is so exciting and such a fun part of life.

Wow! An awesome episode! Thanks, Gary, and thank you, JoeG! QOTD: I drink wine because it’s my passion. It’s a living thing, it brings me joy, and I’m fascinated by it’s complexity.

QOTD: Wine connects people, place, history, hard work, and delicate art. It is the final the ultimate agricultural product and the best chance the farmer has to express himself against the chef at the table. It is so simple, just crushed grapes let to age with yeast, yet so complex in its flavors. Its how man discovered alcohol. No wonder why it is so close to so many religions.

my dog and i got sprayed by a skunk ):

HA you just said pickle juice is like your first kiss.

think this episode illustrates the limit of your personal branding theory … i dont care how well he branded himself, if that other guy started WLTV, i just wouldnt watch (no offense dude, im not dissing you).
lol actually he reminds me of the guy from sideways!

qotd; why do i drink wine? well … 1. i don’t like beer or spirits, or being drunk, or especially “wasted” … but everyone drinks so its nice not to be an outsider, and i find the wine set is a bit more cultivated, or at least trys to be, which is half the battle right? 2. i love agriculture, i want to be a farmer, especially of fruits and more especially grapes and triple especially wine grapes, so id better get a taste for the stuff. 3. cause wine grows here in the Hudson valley, and i have at least 6 wineries within a super reasonable (20 min) drive from my house, no further than anywhere else i go for stuff. 4. its healthy. 5. being a European it’s … well, expected. even the briefest get together with my family involves wine (as well as all those other wonderfully gormet things like tea, coffee, chocolate, cheeses, breads, jams). 6. wine explains me better than i can. 7. IT SMELLS GOOD

Great episode. I was there for it live! The Pomerol was definately my favorite of the three. I also had the 2004 Leoville Las Cases right after the Winelibrary TV Show that was amazing. Great open house! So much food and wine, and atmosphere. You have to keep doing this. Don’t stop!
