Nice show guys.

I can’t believe you chose Simi as the California representative wine. No wonder you are biased against California Sauvignon Blanc! Popularity does not equate to quality.

For an old-world Sancerre-style SB, try the Dry Creek Fume Blanc. At the $10 price point, try the Kenwood, Husch, or Geyser Peak. At under $15, try the Honig, Voss, Handley, Chateau St Jean “La Petite Etoile”, Beringer Alluvium, and a slew of others. For under $20, the Navarro, Provenance and Turnbull are outstanding. There is plenty of great California Sauvignon Blanc to be found out there.

Happy Birthday Gary! Great job with the show, making your guest feel welcome while keeping the proceedings moving at a good pace. You just keep getting better.

Gary, what happened to “..whether they like it or not!”?

SB is my favorite white wine.

QOTD: I am thinking of moving to Canada.

Great show! My wife just go into knitting this weekend so it is really weird that you would do a show with a guest from the knitting world.

Wow. What a game last night! Go Jets!

Very good episode and you will really enjoy the knit stuff. I always did when my mom made stuff for me. I am quite excited about the prospects for an Obama presidency but that is all of the politics I’ll say. Congratulations on what turns out to be a great day for you GV with the Jets now leading their division.

Have you ever tried Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc. It is a tad expensive but the taste and nose is great.

QOTD: Yes, but am not expecting miracles.

Comment: The video quality of WLTV is very good but the audio s@©ks!!! One minute (actually the first 30 seconds – including Gary’s intro) I have to turn down the volume and then I can barely him. Perhaps better mikes and/or better placement of the mikes?

Regardless, great shows.

Happy Birthday, Gary! All the best for you and your family.
As a Brazilian I can’t answer the question, but as a human being I wish all the best for the Americans and for the rest of the World.

Have fun because “life is too short to drink bad wine”.

Great show.

Your Birthday can’t be that bad with that Jets WIN!

QOTD – Very Excited about the new direction of this country. We needed it so bad.

Nice guest, great show. Well-made gifts, Happy Birthday Gary. I was correct in predicting the game would be a nail-biter, but not in the last few minutes. Do not like #4 at all. Not even much of a football fan, but when it came down to watching the morbid and depressing 11 o’clock news, I chose the game. Glad the final outcome was a win for your sake.

QOTD: No, the election was a disappointment. That’s all I have to say on that.

QOTD: I’m feeling something just not sure if
I am excited or scared shitless.

Just hope it’s not

QOTD – I want to be optimistic, but I am very uncertain about what the next 18 months will bring…

Great show Gary and Cat. Gary, I’ve gotta say you did an awesome job with the spit buckets, the bottles, everything we talked about. You kept the show on track, but the guest got her time as well. Freaking Sweet! Awesome Jets win last night too!

QOTD: I’m not stoked, but I’ve decided that no matter how bad the stock market, and loan market get, I’m going to keep a positive attitutde, because there is something to be done out there.

GV: Big up to the Jets and GV for supporting them through thick and thin!

QOTD: I really liked this guest until she said she was stoked? STOKED? REALLY? If you are stoked to have a president who is more into talking about “look at me I’m a black man who won President..oh Hi Oprah!” ; If you are intested in watching more Miss Ebony United States or Black American Idol; If you are more intested in raising the minimum wage to $9.00/hr..(WHAT IS HE THINKING?) or eliminating taxes to anyone over the age of 55 (HELLO BABY BOOMERS… Please Give me your vote)… yeah you probably are stoked! For the rest of the tax paying, social secruity screwed, stock market slammed, housing market flushed, vino drinking nation.. pull out some Mad Dog and raise your glass to a hard one up the ass… at least for the next 4 years…

Maybe we should look at the bright side… maybe can he pass a new law allowing the shipping of Colt 45 across state lines…

What a fabulous gift on your birthday and anniversary for the Jets to win! A day to remember for sure!!! Maybe you should wear the cap & scarf at every game…what happened to your fuzzy face??

Happy Birthday!!!!

Very entertaining…never thought of knitters as wine drinkers more tea totalers!! Great eye opener!Never know what direction the show will take thanks for keeping us on our toes!!

QOTD: a historic event! Change is good!

qotd: not psyched, but I am very relieved.
another great show with a great guest. thanks, Gary. happy anniversary and happy birthday. I live in Maine, but since I couldn’t care less about football, I hope the Jets win so you can be happy while celebrating these two occasions. By the way, I just tried a 1968 Bual Madeira (I forget the producer) that was very good and very interesting. Just thought I’d mention it in case you thought you should do a Madeira show.
