qotd: I take a hundred things for granted in my life- wouldnt even know where to start; however, I do not take You for granted! Dont mean to sound queer/sappy…really mean it ! thanks for being there and bringing a little burst of passion across the internet.

Unfortunately, I take for granted my family.

QOTD: The fact that almost all of my friends and family are still here. My wife and I live much closer to home now (for a bit more) and the fact we are within a couple hours drive is great. Awesome to see friends on the weekends who live close as well.

I think we all take Mott for granted too. The better half I might say!

Thanks GV for the great episode. We want to get back to NYC soon and whenever the time comes, we will definitely head down to WL to see you. Thank you for doing what you do and kick starting my adventure into the vino world!

Great episode GV. Love seeing you drink some wine outdoors on a beautiful NYC evening. I agree with you that the ‘04 is better than the ‘05.

Shafer rocks. That ‘04 1.5 is a great wine.

QOTD, all the small things, as cliched as that is, i forget how good my wife and child ( and child on the way) have it. Our life is perfect, and i keep getting wrapped up in what we don’t have yet.
Great show Gary, you should do more from the porch, you seem so relaxed there. Maybe even another beer show, this time on the porch while grilling.

Great show, great view of the city.

QOTD- I take for granted that my baby sleeps through the night almost every night.

WOW…what a kick-ass deck. I live in Chi. and would kill for something like that. Was that a freaking shed next to your Cadillac of a Weber? Good God you got it nice.

Nice wine content, too. Thanks. Of the few hundo bottles of vino I have, it’s the Cali Cabs that I have the least of…percentage wise. I got bunches of Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Zins, but not alot of cabs. I think I’ve just been burned too many times by average wines at a high price tag to not go there so often. I do, however, got a lot of WA cabs. Speaking of, if you’re looking for a show, how about doing a WA/CA wine blind show? They share many varietals, but are so different. Just a thought.

QOTD: How much little time I have on this Earth and how much I don’t see my folks. They’re getting older and I really need to see them more before it’s too late.

Gary: Really enjoyed the patio ep and I echo the laid back porch Friday thought. I knew it would be good show when I saw the Shafer. The couple I’ve had have all been very good. Props to the folks doing it right.

QOTD: Honestly, probably everything. Health, family, freedoms, my job and standard of living. Heck, I can fuss over wines when some folks can’t even get fed.
Joni Mitchell said it best – Don’t it akways seem to go, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.

Great episode, love seeing you chilling at home. Nigs digs, btw. I am appreciating the theme of the week, nerding it up and, like PE circa ‘95, getting back to the Terroir-Dome! If I could get my hands on it here in Ontario, I’d love to try the Shafer Cab 04, I guess I’d have to settle Shafer Merlot 06, if I had the coin. It rings in at a whopping $72.95. Keep up the great content, and you’ll always have a viewer in me!

QOTD: Without a doubt I take my mother’s health for granted. She’s been cancer free for ten years this month, and I can’t imagine where I would be without her being in my life all that time.

Good show Gary. I loved the grill cover. Very fitting.

One more thing…I think it would be very cool if you did a Madeira episode before 4th of July in honor of our Founding Fathers.

QOTD: Without a doubt I take my mother’s health for granted. She’s 10 years cancer-free this month, and I can’t imagine where I’d be if she weren’t in my life each and every one of them.

Good show Gary, love the grill cover. I have to see if I can get myself a Chicago Bears cover like it!

QOTD: What Jay said…and definitely my family.

Loved the episode out on your balcony. City sounds, fresh air and a great wine. I think you should do more shows with a single wine. Oh, and fire up your weber next time.

QOTD: Family!

Gary – Nice backdrop to the episode. Even the traffic noise seemed friendly. QOTD: Wow! Sadly, I take too many things for granted. Recent partial loss of hearing brought that home. That I have the ability to drink the occasional great wine with friends, when so many others battle just to take care of their families…..That I have a job I like…… and of course, that the Thunder Show awaits me at the end of most days!

QOTD: I’d say my sense of hearing is a big one.
Nice patio show…and nice patio! Thanks for the show!

QOTD: I take for granted that I can go downstairs to my cellar and pull a diverse and/or good/great bottle of wine. Many thanks to some of GV’s recs.

Gary,
Love the shorter episode. Somedays its hard to find 25 minutes for a mammoth WLTV. Nice to see an under 12 minute episode.

Hey GV, awesome episode… how bout maybe a show about wines that pair well with vegetarian friendly foods?

I think you are taking that bottle for granted. Give a big, delicious, purple paintish, very well integrated, no oakmonster, drooling for a big FAT Steak, etc a 95 at least. Have you ever given a 98 or 99? Of coarse then we’d be bitchin about not being able to find it. Now I’ve got to go get some good CAB.

Great Show Gary
I am excited to try this wine now.

QOTD: Family, God, health, and Job

Have a great one, always love getting home from work to watch your show.

Be cool

Fun show! I always like the informal shows, they seem to have you at your most natural. I guess lately I’ve been taking my health for granted, haven’t even been sick lately. (Hopefully I’m not jinxing myself).

Not being a cab lover, I have friends that are and put on a large tasting. It was all the big guns Dalla Valle, Bryant, Grace family, Phelps insingna, plus Screaming Eagle.that one that no one can afford. plus a lowly bottle of Shafer Hillside select. These were done all blind and the hillside was a clear winner. At a fraction of the price. Everyone loved the Hillside as it had true character of the Napa. Love to see you try Viadare.
