I love it when you go places! Despite the fact that I think Mott is a ROCK STAR, I am a huge fan of the Flip Camera! I did like it more when you sat down to taste, because when you were moving around and showing us stuff, I thought that the movement was a little much…

QOTD: I need to get out more. I have never been to a wine bar, let alone what I would consider a good one!

Gary- first as a Jet season tix holder since 1968– love the J…E….T….S paraphanalia throughout your show– my favorite wine bar– no doubt– in the Portland PDX Airport– you can get a glass of Silver Oak Napa Valley for $20/glass, also grat Oregon Pinos (which you should review (Panther Creek, Domaine Serene, etc…)– also visited a wine bar in St. Emillion in the village where you get a glass of Cheval Blanc for $100 euros.

Gary, love it when you go on location. I appreciated the technological foray at Clo but I must be a romantic because I prefer an old style wine bar. I always felt that a wine bar should make you feel as though you just stepped in from the vineyard, even in NY.

QOTD: Living in North Georgia (suburb of Atlanta) for three years now and haven’t found a wine bar yet. If someone knows of one let me know.

GREAT SHOW!! Well my favorite wine bar would have to be Vino (Encino, CA). Vino has a very knowledgeable and friendly staff with a wonderful boutique wine list. Fights range from $10 to $20.

Very slick wine bar! I agree with some of the other posters that it could use a touch of warmth mixed in with the steely coolness…maybe a fire place feature and some velvety seating. You rock Gary, I’m learning a lot from you!

QOTD: Hitimes wine bar in Costa Mesa, Ca.

I want to go visit this wine bar NOW, GV!!!! Makes me wish I lived in NY, just so I can check out some of these places.

QOTD: I don’t know of ANY wine bars where I live…that is how out of touch my city is when it comes to wine.

Came across your book on 101 wines, and enjoyed it. Now I am starting to enjoy your shows. However, being in Iraq current, I can’t sample many of the vintages that you have discussed. I have two questions for you. First, I am wondering if you have every done a tasting on the Rubicon Estate’s flagship wine? I have had the 2004, and the 2005, and truly enjoyed them. There is also a unique story I got while there that I think you would enjoy. Second, I am planning two weeks in the southeastern part of Australia, and wondering if you could suggest some wineries in the Hunter Valley region, or around Melbourne. I don’t think I will be able to get to the Barrossa region to take in their offerings. Again, thank you for your shows, and your enthusiasm. I am new to wine, and expanding my horizons, and your shows will help me do that, even when I can’t sample any until I return home.

Hey Gary.
We are a couple of golfers on the PGA European Tour following your every move on winelibrary tv. We are close to having watched every episode now, and we are loving it. Always nice to have something to do in the evenings in the hotels around the world. Keep up the great work. Kudos from Norway and Sweden. How about some more Sauternes tastings;) Gotta keep Mott happy!!

Gary!

Great shows lately. I like that you are returning to your roots with a clean and concise show about one or two wines. Keep the nerdiness going! Now you need to do a show about the German grape Dornfelder. Question of the Day: When was the last time you drank a Dornfelder and what was it? Mine was two months ago and it was an ‘03 Gutzler Flur 1 #361. My favorite wine bar? Wine Splash in North Park San Diego. In many respects just like CLO, but without the fancy table.

Thanks Gary for showing us this cool melding of wine and technology. I’ll have to get down there and check it out.

My favorite wine spot is not necessarily exclusively a wine bar but I love to enjoy my wines in the killer atmosphere at the 121 Restaurant in the Oxford Airport. The wine list has some real hidden gems that complement the menu quite nicely. Check it out.

Really impressive tech and wine bar: Fun, useful, and compelling.

Great show for the topic and exposure to something new out there in the wine world.

Thanks!

The next time I am in NYC, Clo will be added to my to do list. The Star Trek tech is beyond Bad Ass…..A new word needs to be coined, as this is bad ass to the Nth power my man!

QOTD: I have been all business the last couple of years, so have not been in a wine bar since 2006! LOL Maybe I need to get to Clo sooner rather than later!

I don’t get out to a lot of wine bars, but on a recent visit to LA a buddy of mine took me to AOC and told the house to just bring us what they recommend for each course and each wine. Awesome experience. Great wines. Amazing food.

QOTD: 55 degrees in Atwater Village, and CitySip in Echo Park. Totally different wine lists. 55 degrees is better to go and hang out with friends, more intimate. CitySip, more for the fun atmosphere. Also, has some great Portuguese and Spanish wines. Owner is great too and she is very knowledgeable. I like Nicole a lot. Both have reasonably priced flights and the lists are constantly changing.

QOTD: Haven’t been to one in years. The last one I remember going to was Morrell Wine Co. ?? next to Dean & Deluca next to Rockefeller Center. 2 Wine Bars that I would like to go to are Darryl’s in New Brunswick and Rosie’s Wine Bar in Garwood. Maybe this summer…actually there are plenty of wines in the cellar to try.

That place looks pretty cool. I’m getting more of a lab feel from it than wine bar… I’ve never been to NYC so maybe slick is the thing there!
QOTD: So don’t really have a favorite but here’s some that I’ve liked:
The design at CinCin in Reno, NV, was beautiful and comfortable but their selection was disappointing, I had a great time at the Double Helix in Las Vegas and closer to home I’ve only been to The Bounty Hunter in Napa, they have a great selection but getting in there anytime after 6 pm is almost impossible!

Wow, really bad ass…however, the location doesnt look very cosy and comfortable to me to drink a glass of wine. Wouldnt be an enjoyable bar for me, but its interesting to see how winebars can look like. Think this one would not run in Germany, though the table is great. The boss would also enjoy microsoft “Surface” Know that? Similar table, but without a video projection on it and much smaller.

great show Gary

My favorite Wine bar is Vínbarinn witch is like the only serious Wine bar in Reykjavik, good thing about it is that it is in the middle of downtown and on working weekdays you can bring you own food to pair with the wines… that is if you know the owner like me

Gary- I’m a three week lurker, first time leaving a reply. I’ve been going through the episode archive. Almost made it through August ‘06. This episode was the geekiest I’ve seen yet as cool as the field trip was. Saw you first via Career Renegade. Just got a job in the wine business after several years in the culinary end of the biz. You and WLTV rock! Love the show, man. Love how you don’t pull the punches. Keep it real.
