    Thanks for keeping on pumping out the flip content, and some amazing stuff you had to taste.

    QOTD 1: 1978 Petrus at a dinner party I was fortunate to be invited to
    QOTD 2: Just got back from the Kentucky Derby what a blast! There are a few tweet pics if you click on my link. The craziest thing I saw were people racing ON TOP of lined up portajohns, no joke.

    Now THIS is what I’m talkin about! Good show GV… would love to see more of these style shows… Perhaps with older vintage retrospectives like 82 Bord’s, or mid 90’s Aussies. Or classic Barolo vintages.. PLEASE try and tape some of these!

    Good to see you DRINK some wine, even if you did go spit the Mayacamas (boo).

    Thanks for this episode, always nice to live vicariously through your amazing wine adventures. Happy Birthday to your mom!

    QOTD: It’s late, and I’m tired, so nothing is automatically jumping out at me, but the second part of this question is easy, this weekend I signed a lease for my new apartment in grad school. Fun times.

    1982 Clos Du Val, GREAT bottle of wine tasting like a bright Boudeaux has at least 10 more years. Who says Cali Cabs don’t age well.

    Gary – very jealous of the wines you were tasting.
    QOTD: no epics as yet (sadly) – had a laidback weekend. And sadly again, didn’t have any wine either :(

    QOTD’s: No epics. Other than cleaning out & weeding the driveway border garden, the weekend was spent continuing to settle into new routines now that my Mom has come to live with us.

    Gary, doesn’t every hotel room ever, have an ice bucket. I was at this shady, dive hotel across from the Taj Majal in AC and it had an ice bucket. Next time maybe you could spit into that, write jet’s on the side if you have to. However i enjoy seeing sinks from around the world. Maybe it’s time for SinkLibrary.tv.

    I cried, just a little, watching you dump awesome wines down the sink.
    Seems cruel and unusual :)

    Sweet episode, that lunch had to be pretty amazing with all those spectacular wines.

    QOTD – I have not really had many older wines. I did have a busy weekend selecting my wedding location in Long Island. We ended up going with Bedell Cellars which should be a great time.

    QOTD – haven’t had many old gems.

    Had a good weekend – spent yesterday in the city. Went to the Intrepid Museum – which was pretty cool. Then met up with a few friends at Blue Ribbon Wine bar. Great time there (glad you did some shows there to inspire our visit).

    Cheers!

    Gary,

    LOVED the show, Flip Cameras are awesome (I have one too)! Thanks for letting us experience the wow factor w/ you!

    I have a bottle of 1979 Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon that I plan to open this weekend to celebrate Mother’s Day. Also, I have family coming into town to celebrate my son’s 1st birthday (and I’m sure they will LOVE the fact I’m opening something from my cellar).

    The vintage wine I had recently was a 2000 Silverado Cabernet Sauvignon which paired perfectly with a ribeye steak.

    Keep up the AWESOME work!

    QOTD – 1976 H. Josef Fries Noviander Honigberg Riesling Auslese
    had at the forum Rieslingfest in March. The oldest wine i’ve had, and it rocked the house – it was my WOTN. Golden honey color, very weighty but fresh and vibrant – it did not show its age.

    Great show! Love the classics, especially since the Napa Cab stole the show! QOTD: Hmmm, unfortunately have not had the opportunity to try too many classics. I’d go with the 99 Sebastiani Cherry Block Cabernet.

    Can I just say that I really miss when the show sign off was

    “You, with a little bit of me, we’re changing the wine world, whether they like it or not”

    since when did we start caring what the wine world thought?

    ‘82 Chave but that was almost a year ago…

    Had a bottle of 1970 Hermitage in January. The label didn’t even say who the producer was and the wine was phenominal.

    Had a bottle of 1976 Paul Jaboulet Cote-Rotie in February and it knocked my socks off. Have another bottle of that — can’t wait to open it.

    Thanks for doing some older wines. I’m just getting into wine and have wondered about the older vintages. So for the QOTD – nothing yet.

    QOTD1: can’t really think at the moment so I’m assuming nothing much recently.

    Cheers

    Thanks for sharing your experiences with those wines. I like the top flight wine episodes quite a bit if for no other reason than to see soebody enjoying some classics.

    QOTD: 2000 Angelus. At Bacar in SF about a year ago.

    Would appreciate hearing the grape varieties of the wines, eg. Haut Brion: cab, merlot, cab franc.
    I haven’t had any epics. We had a 1982 “Charles Krug Cabernet we got for $5.00 a bottle.
    You have a great job!
