Great episode. I used to be strictly a red wine fan, but lately I have been getting into the whites. I find that it’s mostly for the nose, rather than the taste. But I am definitely trying to expand my palette in that area. Keep up the great work!

thats your style, thats what you do to crush it. you are real!

QOTD: I’m still confused. I like chicken. I like apples.

Gary what can we do, if I search for this whine on german google and can’t find anyone who’s selling it right now? That sucks! They could get so many bugs!! Why are people so blind? I think I search for a whine seller and convice them to apply your whines for germany. Maybe you can help them. This is worldwide!

Keep it up, gary.

First time commenting! I meant to comment on 700 but I never got around to it =\.

When you say chicken, I think of how ridiculously full I am. It was my younger sister’s birthday today (the 10th) and I ate way too much food, including lots of chicken wings. Yum.

Whe you say apples, I think of apple sauce, which makes me think of babies, which makes me think of Misha, which makes me smile =).

This episode was great. It was really cool to get sidetracked into, well, the kitchen (lol) and see a bunch of different faces, and then come back to a great wine. also, you’re very lucky to be able to be so close to your family while you work.

Keep the greatness coming.

QOTD: Chicken->Sauce // Apples->Mott
Don’t ask…

Great episode gary, the only thought i had is when mott was on the move he shot alotta torsos. I think you should have mott do more work with handheld camera, maybe running on a treadmill while taping you do you thing?

Just a thought… keep it up !

702 questions of the day, i guess it had to come up sometimes. when you say apples and chicken, i think about my uncles farm where he had both. also fall time and great autumnal cuisine. next week lets try to go 5 for 5

AGAIN! Love this episode and the chicken and apples debacle. If you’re in Boston anytime between now and the wine expo next Jan, let me know. Miss seeing you!

I will have to pick up this wine. Sounds right up my alley with the acid and fruit.

QOTD: Broccoli, garlic and olive oil; caramel.

Here’s what I’m STOKED on… I learned about a new grape today, and had fun in the process.

Here’s what is harshing my mellow… I noticed there is another Jeff S. making posts.

QOTD: Chicken + Apples = Chapels!

That mini-WL backstage tour was fun, with some great cameos from some of WLTV’s all-time greatest guests! You should have AJ on the show again soon, and should have some of the other WL employees as guests as well to share some of their knowledge & palates.

QOTD: Chicken: my mom’s amazing chicken salad (my favorite food ever), apples: Waldorf salad (I must be hungry!)

Who the hell puts 3 pounds of raw chicken in the company fridge? Hah, WTF is up with that? Great episode.

What do I think about chicken and apples? I think – that’s one effed up lunch.

Cheers.

Wonderful episode. Laid back Friday is alive and well. This looks to be a tremendous wine, and I plan on seeking it out. Nice cameos from AJ and Dad, too.

QOTD1: Honestly, gotta go with apples and cheese. I’m enjoying a nice double cream brie along with granny smith this very moment. Great stuff.

QOTD2: Chicken pho soup. Vietnamese food kicks major arse.

burnt chicken on the bbq. Apples with almond butter mmmmmmmmm
You had a hard time relaxing on the couch today. Nice show, nice wine. Can’t wait to try it. What is the live feed thang. I guess I’ll have to link it up. I mean I’ll have to watch again and yahoo it. MMMottt! link me up.
I tried a cople of your growers Champagnes and a Cava. Thanks for the upgrade from the usual Chandon etc. Even better than Vueve. I think it was a DeMOTTS bubbly or some such.

Hey Gary

I couldn’t help but notice the little eyebrow twitch after you said “mediterranean sea”…is this a bit of foreshadowing for the new Thunder Cruise?

QOTD:
Chicken: “Beer-In-The-Butt Chicken” – First meal I cooked on the BBQ for my now fiance (what can I say, I’m a romantic!).

Apples We did a fundraiser and went into schools to teach kids about healthy eating and being active. One trivia question we asked them was: “How many different varieties of apples are grown throughout the world?” Can you guess…

…7500!!!!
