    I'm relatively new to your site, but did a search and found this show on Clio. One of my favorite wines, I had it about a year ago in Milwaukee at a restaurant that charges close to retail for their wines. I loved it immediately and searched it out. I'm only sorry I bought just six bottles rather than a case +. For the 2007 vintage, what is the best time of year for me to begin searching for it's release? I'd like to order before it's sold out. Unfortunately, as much as I enjoyed your show on this wine, I realize it doesn't help me keep what I thought may have been a bit of a secret! My mistake!! I now know I need to order early!!!!

    lol.... I hope no wine ever makes me think of Beyonce. Shes just boring. I dont care for her music or listening to her talk about anything. No substance at all, and no style in my opinion. Both those wines sound very interesting. Think ill look up the Clio in my wine shop. Wish me luck! Happy late Thankgiving to all! QOTD: He-man, though today I would have to say pass on them both.
  • QOTD: HE-MAN, hands down. Skeletor rocked my adolescent world!
  • CBone
    qotd: Gotta go Thundercats. He-Man never really did it for me. Both pale compared to The Transformers, to my cartoon palette.
  • yowens
    I think it's time I search out a Clio. QOTD: Thundercats!

    Long time watcher/lurker but first time poster.

    Took the big leap and got the Clio 2006 based on your podcast and I have to say my wife and I absolutely love it. I dont know if its me being brainwashed by the power of the Vay-ner-chuk but I see, smell and taste everything you described. Woot you rock!

    Now we just have to get the Jets in the superbowl and things will be great in the world

    Keep up the GREAT work

    QOTD: Can't decide.. It's not a fair question. Both rule!
  • Rowland
    Thunder cats, Thunder cats, THUNDER CATS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
  • I'd love to get my hands on a bottle of that '06 Clio!

    Btw, sorry those Château Courazes disappointed GV! With that and the zin show, it was certainly a bad streak... :(

    QOTD: Even though I didn't watch either as a kid, I'd say He-Man as it was one of the "props" for when I was on. :)
  • Tim Wiseman
    Great show, it might be pretty cool to occasionally pull in some of the wines that you scored in the book. I dig it. Again, loving the way you change up the show, keeps it interesting! Thanks Gary.

    QOTD: Tough question, but I am pretty sure I dug ThunderCats more. I was the kid screaming Thunder! Thunder! ThunderCats - HOOOOO! on the playground. Guess I should own up to it.
  • Thanks Gary

    QOTD: He-Man. Thunder Cats were never big in Australia, but He-Man was MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE!

    Cheers

    Interesting little show. But I am terribly disappointed because I tried to order the Clio as soon as I got the e-mail last week and it was already out of stock!! Massive bummer! :-(

    QOTD: He-Men, because my nephew really was into them and I bought a boat-load of them for him in the early 80's.
  • MattUD
    QOTD: I have to go with Thundercats, but its tough.

    Thunder Catz! They bring the thunder!
  • manonthemoon
    Great show, too bad about the beard going away.

    QOTD: Have to go with He-man, I mean come on he had a terrible 80's movie for crying out loud
  • Scottie P
    QOTD:Thundercats all the way!
    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
  • Colin Bmore
    QOTD: out of those two I would say He-Man. But growing up I was big into G.I.Joe and Star Wars Figurines.

    Great show!
  • Gary, BTW: LOVE the beard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
  • QOTD: THUNDER CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Gary & Chris, Fabulous episode, per usual, happy to see two wonderful wines on the show....................................................... :)
  • Dan-o
    GV - have had the Dolce and it is a nice dessert wine. Have not had the Clio, but I will have to seek it out.

    QOTD - not really a fan of the action creatures, but I will have to say that my favorite is the Oak Monster!
  • Michael Knisely
    QOTD: VOLTRON!
  • SS Chris
    Thanks for the shout-out!!!! :)
  • Greg
    QOTD: He-Man
  • Gareth
    Toughie Gary!

    But after much thought and a bottle or 4 of le montrachet, it has to be HE-MAN
  • Gonna have to find tht Clio! Sounds fantastic.

    Another killer fruit bomb, but impeccably balanced and with nice bright acids, is the 2005 Dumas Station Estate Merlot (Walla Walla). What a killer merlot, much in the style of Leonetti and, in my humble opinion, better than just about anything you will ever find in California. Especially for the price.... $25!!!

    QOTD - never watched either of them, but give me Shaggy, Scooby, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, and a big glass of zin, and I am fat, dumb, stoopid, and happy!
  • Marcus Mendelson
    Thundercats
  • the2urbs
    I think I might Hit that Clio... sounds like something a local Som recommended..

    Was that he-man?....

    I LOVE Desert Wines, but that is Beaucoup Dolores....
  • Well THUNDERCATS, Obviously!! ; )

    Nice show! Happy Thanksgiving, whatever that actually is! (We don't have it in Ireland)
  • Smahlatz
    QOTD : You kids! For me, He-man confirmed that cartoons were dead (maybe I was just getting older ??). Give me Jabberjaw over those clowns anyday :)
  • QOTD Heman and the Masters of the Universe FTW!!!!! thundercats barely compete.
  • Would like to try the Clio
  • QOTD: He-men for sho GV...

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
  • JJ
    Happy Thanksgiving! I'm going to get a bottle of CLIO for my Turkey Day Meal! QOTD:Definitely He-Man, No Doubt!
  • WineWoman
    QOTD: The He-Man figures rate the highest to me. Happy Thanksgiving GV and Crew. Can't wait to try the wines from the Secret Pack!
  • QOTD: I didn't watch He-Man, so I'll have to go with Thundercats.

    He-man any day of the week! I think its a generation thing... I'm a gen-y so I bet all of you gen-x's out there are pulling for Thundercats... idiots. :) Enjoy the holiday everyone.

  • mattyb_58
