Boy that was difficult to hear you with the crowd – what a shame they couldn’t stay quiet to listen to you for just 25 minutes! Rough crowd but good info as always! Want to seek out the Domaine de la Janasse for sure! Mahalo for trying to bring the Thunder!

QOTD: They are freeze pops and I love the blue razzzzberry!! YUMMY!

I like AuBon Climat
Tough room noise again. Sounds like GV is going to lose his voice from yelling.
QOTD: What the hell is an OtterPop? In Boston we call it an Italian Ice. I think when I was in Phili a few years ago, they called it WaterIce.
I think lemon or watermellon.

Once again it seemed like the crowd was a group of drunken college kids. You were great. It must have taken some self control to not yell at the idiots who kept yelling “otter pops”. Thanks.

qotd: I also know it as flavor ice and I liked the orange.

QOTD – orange!

QOTD: No clue on actual name of flavor but definitely the blue ones.

I hope you didn’t use up your entire bag of shhhhhh trying to get the SD children to quiet down. You’re going to need some for raising your own child at home soon enough.

SIDE NOTE: Is it possible to raise your hand in SD without yelling? I find it hard to believe many in the audience could last two rounds deep in a simple game of “simon says”.

There, my rant is over. Peace.

Que Syrah, Syrah ……

Less white wine noise? …… now I gotta drink this headache away.

You have patience my friend … you were like teaching a second grade class of rowdy kids hopped up on ritalin and juice boxes !!! SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

QOTD – CHERRY.

P.S.: SHUSH.

Eh, at least the audience was participating in this one rather than white noise….
QOTD: Blue & Green

I agree with lots of others— can’t finish the video. A personal clip-on mic is the answer to this type of situation. Again you mention the root beer, so my QOTD to you gary——- when is the high grade root beer show? If you love it, DO IT!!! (please)

?????? Where was this taped? SDSU? At a Frat. Party? This was like College Humor gone wild. One of Wine Lib. video low-points, SSSSSSSSSSShhhhh!
QOTD: Liked Otter Pops 20+ yrs. ago, now I prefer real wine. Gives a better buzz.

QOTD: I think it is blue.. The sell Otter pops at Costco. I had never heard of them until I moved to California. I never saw them on the East Coast.

You just need a clip-on mic. to solve the sound problem.

Big G, No, No, No on two things the Video #1. Please really? It was freaking not even watchable. #2 just like In & Out Burgers out west will always blow away White Castle. Otter Pops are way better than Ice Pops or whatever you did get in The Dirty. LOL!!!!!!

QOTD:Red of course

Good episode, I admit that I also found the noise hard to sit through but I think blaming the audience is a little harsh. A microphone would have made a big difference, no doubt.

QOTD: I grew up on Mr. Freeze brand. White and Peach were the best.

Gary! I would LOVE for you to come to my hometown of Mobile, Alabama – but I’m not sure the Deep South could handle your THUNDER You wanna prove us wrong?

I didn’t even finish this episode. You were killing it, but, it seemed, they could care less. 75+ points

Razzles!

Density!

Freeze pops became otter pops.

I like the blue ones.

QOTD: Blue raspberry, of course (this is for all the Left Coast peeps who know & love Otter Pops)

Man, I wish you had done a live tasting at the Wine Bloggers Conference this past fall — you would have had our rapt attention (which you had for your talk, anyway). They were a bit rude, but you needed a dedicated microphone; would have helped cut out a lot of the background noise…

You where easier to hear this time but so where they. At least this time they where interacting with you some of the time instead of all being involved in their own side conversations.

QOTD: Blue without a doubt.

Hey GV,
we were so happy you came by and threw back some vino with us. I was also glad to see your enthusiasm and good nature in full force. thanks for sharing some Thunder in sunny SD!
BTW, I would really like to see you do a tasting on some wines from Mexico, I want to get your take on LA Cetto Don Luis Terra and other good showing stuff.

Felt like Saturday staff tastings at Bob’s!
I use to get so frustrated w/ the girls, but then I realized they were enjoying the moment & now I just talk & let them interrupt or talk between themselves – whatever – it’s all about the wine, not totally what I’m saying. I do still feel like I’m on a stopwatch though. Ten minutes. After that it disintegrates very quickly.
Pretty good show. I agree w/ the Novy rating—BUT—Adam Lee does makes some killer Syrahs. The general Napa appellation just isn’t his best effort. Try Susan’s Hill.
