Come on Gary youre at home, no need to spit! Nice lil concept to do these home shows….I want a tour! QOTD: Nothing right now. Im not an every day wine drinker. Im still stuck in that buying mostly wines to put away for a few years to a few decades. I am buying more cheaper wines to drink now that I was a few months ago though.

Yeah, so, now that I’ve taken my Dramamine, I feel MUCH better.

Nice little show – I like the contrast of these short shows along with some of the epic shows you’ve done in March. Good job!

Gary,
Love the way your spontaneously show that your just a real guy and open the fridge and show the eggs….also it was good to know that its ok…to let a red wine sit for three days and take your time to drink it!

QOTD: Tonight it was 2004 Bailly-Lapierre Crémant de Bourgogne, but the 2005 Vinosia Falanghina is what’s on the counter from a few days ago. Both were excellent, I love that orange custard from the Falanghina.

QOTD-I’m finishing off a bottle of Domaine De La Camarette Cotes Du Ventoux red 2003 (Syrah, Grenache Noir, Mourvedre). Very nice though not as good as it was last night even though I used the vacuvin. Nice fruit, light to medium body. I love the Rhone.

What is sitting on my counter is a corked bottle of Chateau Plain Point 2005. I’d love you do do a show where you talk about corked wines. I’m only starting to be able to identify them and I’m realizing there is a lot of bad wine in my past that was actually corked.

I am afraid that in our house nothing stays open for long. I also do not believe that many red wines will last over night. Forget three days! Though perhaps young claret is an exception…

QOTD a tasty la mancha temp. fresh crisp strawberry and raspberry fruits.

Thanks for the mini-episode GV!

QOTD: I just drank a Bogel Petite Syrah. Pretty good, lots of Plum skin and black pepper with semi-soft tannins!

Hey Guy,

Just started watching you and so far I’m intrigued with you. You are a very unusual man! Now, I’ll say that’s not always a bad thing. I’m enjoying your “style” on the two shows I’ve seen. Your giving me just enough to go get some past shows.

You can thank Al for turning me on to your podcast.

Thanks Guy! I look forward to seeing more shows and learning a little more about wine.

Last bottle that was open was a corked Rosso di Montalcino (I won’t give the name- unless the replacement bottle is corked as well)

Drinking more beer these days- Guiness mostly

On My Counter?… Prosperity Red. 70% Merlot, 30% Cab Franc.
Trader Joe’s sells this stuff for like six bones! If you don’t like Cab Franc you won’t appreciate this astoundingly cheap and decent wine (and I, frankly, won’t appreciate you – cause Cab Franc effin rules!) If you’re broke (and I am), Prosperity Red will help you prosper (in the wine aisle only).

Way to go Gary! I like the dedication. It’s nice to see an episode without J-E-T-S jets jets jets crap eveywhere….

QOTD: Currently open: 2004 Vasco Sassetti “Il Ginepro” IGT Toscana.

Very smooth now compared to when purchased (2005 or 2006). Tannins are velvety, with great fruit showing, good acid, nice body, and abit of anise on the finish.

Went beautifully with some charcoal-grilled, lightly applewood-smoked Tuscan-style flank steak, caramelized asparagus, and pancetta-spiked country fried potatoes.

Gary, greetings from Paris! My first comment on your board, I’ve followed you just a few weeks. Enjoying your shows, learning too! What do I have on my table right now? Well, tons! Just returned from two days (I had to go back today of tasting at Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants with several hundred smaller wineries from all over France.

On the white side, I was able to pick up a 2007 Vinealis Pouilly Fumé Marc Deschamps (EUR 14). I am a big Sauvignon Blanc fan, your Pouilly Fumé episode (even though slightly discouraging) turned me in the right direction. I bought an amazing 2005 Gewürztraminer Selection de Grains Nobles Henri Gsell from Alsace (EUR 26 for half litre). I have never smelled or tasted such a floral composition before.

Reds: 2000 Chateau Lalande de Gravelongue Médoc (EUR 21), vintage is supposed to be fantastic and the Medocs seem to be right in my alley. Also picked up some 2004 Chateau Haut-Goujon Lalande de Pomerol (same price range I believe). All of these to keep a few years, even though I felt that the 2000 could be opened now after tasting it.

Then, something different. I have been somewhat sceptical to the reds of the Loire. I somehow got the impression that this is a white + sparkling area. However, I picked up a 2006 Tradition des A Domaine des Hautes Vignes from Saumur (EUR 8). This can be opened right away, I was really impressed by this one. Seems a great value.

That’s it, you asked!

Cheers, Thorbjorn (even Norwegians enjoy wine…)

Gary, love the silver nosecone heat tiles in the kitchen, and great marble counters.

What’s on my counter? It’s actually a 2006 Palmina Arneis Honea Vineyard (from Santa Ynez), and its in the fridge. I’m going on Day 3 with it. I’m enjoying it, very elegant. http://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=406090

“Meats, Pigeons… I sound like an ogre!”

Hahaha, one of your best lines ever, Gary!

I’ve been away from the show for a bit but getting back into it. So glad you’re still going strong! Keep up the good work bro!

I’m thinking I need to suppress the hype-driven urges and track down some 04 and 06 bordeaux and burgundy…
I have 3 wines on my counter right now: 2006 Pinot Noir from the Okanagan in Canada called Nk’Mip – cause I’m Canadian and love to drink, support and encourage the BC wines; another Okanagan – 2005 Sandhill “Three”, it’s a barbera driven Italian blend; and a 2005 Mastroberardino Aglianico from Campania.
