Wait, didn’t you do the Clio in 3 previous episodes? Don’t tell me you’ve gone through every wine in the shop, and are going back through the newer vintages of old wines? And where’s the Beau Nouveau show???

QOTD: Back in the day I was more into He-Man however in retrospect Thunder Cats brought more thunder.

Happy Thanksgiving from Canada.

Bummer on the Clio selling out! Maybe I’ll get it next year when I am making more money (wishful thinking).

How much for the open bottle of Clio? You guys must’ve set a record on case purchases today. Great job!! I’ll have to find it locally as my state (IL) has handcuffed WL from shipping to me.

QOTD: Neither. Gimme a naked Barbie any day.
November 26, 2008

Sharon
Nice show. Would love to try the El Nido Clio some time (any vintage).
QOTD: No freaking idea.
November 26, 2008

Ray Barnes
Both of those wines sounded impressive, but I would take the red over the sweet white for the sake of value. I am not convinced the glass was sufficiently rinsed after the first wine to give a completely accurate picture of the color of the second wine.

Happy Thanksgiving!

QOTD – neither figure on the table.

I’m glad to hear you liked the 06 better than the 05. I only got to have the 05, so I don’t know what the previous vintages were like. But, anyways, 05 was really good, but didn’t rock my world. I think it was over hyped for me. I’m glad this 06 looks to be an even better effort. Thanks for the review, Gary!
November 26, 2008

claudgrrl
Awesome Ep. The Dolce did look like liquid gold. Don’t really like the sweet wines, so probably wouldn’t buy it, though I wouldn’t turn down a glass if offered to me.

The hair on your beard is rivaling the hair on your head!
Happy Turkey day!
November 26, 2008

italianwinelover
Great YES YES to the Clio!! They both sound terrific!!

Happy Turkey Day to everyone!!

QOTD: THUNDERCATS of course!

Great show right before T-Day..

QOTD: He-man! He-man! He-man!

Are you growing that 11 o’clock shadow to catch the gravy tomorrow? hahaha — Happy Thanksgiving. Say a cellar prayer for me. I’ll be in rural Kansas, hoping to find a good bottle of wine to pair with turkey that does have the words “Strawberry” or “Hill” in the name.

Hooray, Jumilla!! Yep, I loves me some Monastrell (Mourvedre). Keeps it in the realm of inky black fruits and earthiness. A site says that Chris Ringland is the winemaker!!! – couldn’t find the winery’s own site , if they have one. Been diggin’ on the Jorge Ordonez purveyed products of Juan Gill and Finca Luzon for several years, among others, and I could almost say it’d be hard to meet a Jumilla I didn’t like. At $10, even Guy Anderson’s Mad Dogs and Englishmen has had some rather notable days, albeit, nothing like these big boys. EASILY worth $34. God eye on including it in the book, GV.

Dolce? Delicious? Yes. Seventy bucks? No, thank you. I’d take a Chateau Les Tertre du Lys d’Or Sauternes for under $30. I’ve actually had French Sauternes for under $20, and trust me- when you host a pouring,they love it like it’s d’Yquem. I’m definately not a sweet tooth guy, but the occasion inevitably comes, when you benefit by pouring the lady/ some ladies ‘the stickies’. Hey – good on ya’ if you’re lucky enough to be one of the rich guys… I’m stuck relying on resourcefulness, economy, thrift to optimalize the modest few bucs I have. GV’s right – there’s lots of stuff that performs remarkably well for 1/2, or even 1/3 the price. But I DO look forward to the event where the finest IS called for…
November 26, 2008

Jon Berry
Great show GV! Happy Thanksgiving..

QOTD: He-Man by far! Castle Greyskull anyone? Thundercats were cool, but they didn’t have a castle…
November 26, 2008

fangorn81
Thundercats. Duh.
November 26, 2008

Murso
I love their faux ‘Belle Epoch’ imagery. People eat that stuff up as classic art. But then, again, they eat up Thomas Kinkaid. I set a Kincaid x-mas card to a friend in Philly, and he emailed me back “What a Master. The Philly Art Museum better get right on that , and put one of his paintings up , next to the Rocky Statue!!!!”
November 26, 2008

Murso
Enough snarky. Happy Turkey to all!
November 26, 2008

Damn the Clio is already sold out.

QOTD: no freakin idea

Looking forward to Thanksgiving secret pack. I got the whole family in on this tasting tomorrow. That is one thing I am very thankful for…FAMILY.

WTF !! i cant believe Mott did NOT zoom in on the second bottle ! that bottle looks awsome too.the art looks cool.. and the price… and no zoom?? the way you described it literally made my mouth water up! have a great thanksgiving gary .

QOTD: He-Man

Great show Gary. I’m glad to hear the 2006 is more like the 03 and 04. I agree the 05 was good but not nearly as good as the others. Happy Thanksgiving
November 26, 2008

Dominus
Clio sold out! Man, that is great stuff.

QOTD: He-Man, no question.

Cooking for tomorrow’s event having a glass of Flowers Pinot, my annual T’giving wine.

I extend Thanksgiving wishes to you and your family.

We have alot to be thankful for.

He-Man is way better than ThunderCats.
November 26, 2008

qotd: Thundercats hands down. Lion-O would have beat He-Man’s butt!
November 26, 2008

hido53
QOTD:

I have absolutely no clue . . . did a quick Google and there are a huge number of He-man sites compared to Thundercats, so it looks like He-man is the popular choice. But hey, if someone prefers Thundercats, then more power to ‘em!
November 26, 2008

RANDI
GARY!!!

Have and will enjoy Clio!
Also, its a tradition on these holidays, that my family always busts-out the Muscat D’asti….
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving!
November 26, 2008

JonE
Clio was the single biggest allocation headache I’ve had in my wine career. Retailers would offer their first borns for a case. Jorge is an evil genius for the american market.

QOTD: He-Man fo sho
November 26, 2008

sam
Cheers to all the Vaniacs!

QOTD: Though far in my mind, I remember loving the Thunder Cats much more than He-man. I still love cats today, though mine are pretty quiet…:)
November 26, 2008

hey gary.

I liked Thundercats more. Everyone knows Skeletor, but I liked Mumm-ra. My favorite was Orco.

Glen,....winecrazy.com
Missed the Clio!!!!!

I called an hour after I got the email and it was gone.

Unlike Randi I don’t have any and won’t be breaking out any on these holidays.

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving day as well. Enjoyed the episode.

QOTD – No real favorite but I think He-Man was just a little better.
November 26, 2008

HuskerJamie
Happy Thanksgiving GV, He-Man by a mile. Where is Moss Man?
November 26, 2008

paryb
QOTD: I’m going to have to say He-man was the coolest, while Mum-rah, Liono, Panthro and Chetara were really cool figures, and cool in there own right, nothing can toucb how cool He Man figures were, case of point, one word; Stinkor.
November 26, 2008

Steve
I’ll try to find the Clio, even though it’s a little out of my normal price range (I try to hang in the less than $20 range). Gotta tell you the truth, as a kid, I never played with any of those action figures, so I can’t comment on that. I was born in 1960, so we played with little plastic army men and GI Joe, that was about it. Except I did have a cool Evil Knieval (sp?) with a motorcycle.
November 26, 2008

Harry
He-Man without a doubt…

Thanks for the low-down on Dolce
November 26, 2008

David T
1. Was your ‘aging quarterback’ comment (greying, new team) referring to #4?
2. I’m almost liking the beard at this point!
3. QOTD: I don’t know much about either, but I’m going to break the trend and go Thundercats only because the kids in Ghostbusters 2 really dissed the Ghostbusters in favor of He-Man.
November 26, 2008

Orion S.
he-man all the way.

Qotd: Thundercats. They had a touch of ancient, large cats, and made you want to be part tiger. grrr. smile. He-Man, just had limited vocabulary and a villain that looks like my turkey skeleton the day after Thanksgiving.
THUNDERCATS! Can you imagine?

Secret Pack – I’ll do Sunday afternoon. thanks for it!

Beard. hmm. grow hair and lose the beard. smile.

Love your FAM – good, Gary! I agree. Thanksgving I will be with 30 family! So willdo your secret pack on Sunday. smile.

QOTD He Man although I didn’t care for either I despised the Thunder Cats I was in junior high when the Thunder Cats became popular. Star Wars figures were better than both and Lego is the King of all toys.

Love the brutal honesty, per usual…. keep it up, GV! QOTD: That is a TOUGH call, but I’m going to give it to He-man. Just my gut response. Btw Gary, have you seen the He-man/She-ra Christmas Special? What am I thinking, of course you have… I gave it to my brother for x-mas last year along with some other He-man videos and i do believe it was the best sister-to-brother x-mas gift ever. Have a happy turkey day ~

November 27, 2008

William
QOTD: Definitely He-Man. I used to have most of the figures, though I sold them at a garage sale when we moved 20 years ago. Happy Thanksgiving!
November 27, 2008

Phil G
QOTD – I really like He-Man toys, and the show. Also, I learned all the basics of football through He-Man, when my older brother (by 8 years) and I used to play video-game style football with the figures. Big guys for the lineman, smaller guys were running backs. The guy with the telescope neck was the QB. Ram Man was the FB – he could open the holes.

Happy Thanksgiving!

YoungDave
Great SHOW!! I have to say that I had the 2004 recently and the oak was a little overbearing, otherwise a massive bomb with lots of second and third tier flavors outside of the fruit realm.

QOTD: I only knew He-Man in my childhood, so He-Man wins hands-down.
November 27, 2008

AB
Hi

It will be great if you could also put the rating of wine along with the name in the “Wines tasted in this episode:” section of your webpage. After watching the video we can’t remember the ratings given by Gary on the show then we can refer to the names and ratings on your webpage. It helps specially for the episodes like Monday’s one where 6 wines were covered.

I don’t know what the folks at Dolce are thinking. They continue to price their product very high and without the performance to back it up.

QOTD: The one with the wings looks kind of silly so I’ll say the silver dude is cooler.
November 27, 2008

For Thanksgiving we’re serving a good QPR pinot noir from Maule Valley, Chile and 2006 Corte Gardoni Bardolino Superiore which has a little nutmeg on the nose.

QOTD: thunder cats, thunder cats, thunder cats, hooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

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!
November 28, 2008

Toughie Gary!

But after much thought and a bottle or 4 of le montrachet, it has to be HE-MAN

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.
December 3, 2008

Thanks Gary

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

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.
December 3, 2008

Kristen
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.
December 4, 2008

Thunder cats, Thunder cats, THUNDER CATS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

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

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.
April 9, 2009

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!!!!
