As a lover of the unoaked, crisp white wines, I will try this wine if I can find it.

Q’sOTD – chicken, being from the South, FRIED, baby, FRIED.

Apples – A fan of Fuji and Gala and also of Granny Smith.

That was awesome! The little tour had to have been one of my favorite WLTV moments ever! Funny to see AJ hanging out in the room doing work while the taping goes on. Great stuff.
QOTD: Gigi’s chicken Panini in Rhinebeck, NY.

QOTD: That has to be one of the strangest qotd’s ever asked. But, chicken salad with apples mixed in, along with a Taburno (or a China Grace Vineyard Chenin Blanc) on a 105 degree Southern California day….yeah, I can get into that.

Gary – Just saw the “Fathers Day” Thunder Show with your Dad – You have to do more shows with Dad – that Guy adds some contrast and I seriously loved it. No more “Bones” – Ha, Brian

I was really hoping that guy was going to get busted being the owner of the chicken and apples.

QOTD: I like chicken salad with a little bit of apple thrown in there. Good combo.

Perhaps my favorite Video Blog, AND I don’t even like wine. Economic Trend : Gary Vee is Huge.

Funny show, great WLTV moment. The wine sounded great, too!

QOTD: Chicken? I’d say Cordon Bleu because it is one of my favorite dishes Apple? I’d say cinnamon, which is great with apples.

QOTD: Complete blank out.. I guess what jumped into my head would be chicken apple pie.. but that is just wrong.

QOTD1: Rotisserie Chicken. Simple, but the best way to prep.

QOTD2: Hornsby’s Apple Cider. Yummy.

Love the Nightline action GV – and a plotline worthy of a Charlie Chan mystery. Did we solve the conundrum?

Gary,

This is my first time posting, I am a new comer to WLTV and a fellow dirty jerseyian. I have been around for the last 50-60 episodes.

QOTD
Chicken – Automatically I think of my fiance, who seems to eat chicken and nothing but chicken.

Apples – My father makes a fantastic baked apple in the fall with raisins and brown sugar. Combined with a nice pork chop it is the best.

I guess for me food and family just go together.

Keep up the great shows.

Dude, where have you been? Just what I needed in my wine tasting life to compare my pallet to someone as opinionated as Gary. Great show!

Great Show!

The behind the scenes investigation of the Chicken & Apple mystery (”Chapple-Gate”)was great.

QOTD: Take apples (sliced or quartered) add cinnamon stick, quartered onion into microwavable safe bowl/measureing cup covered with water. Zap on high for 5 minutes. Stuff steeped apple/onion/cinnamon mixture into chicken cavity along with fresh sage, rosemary, and thyme. Pull skin away from chicken breast but leave on (this gets it crispy while it roasts) coat with canola oil, kosher salt and black pepper. Instead of a rack, place chicken on “veggie-rack” of whole celery and carrot laid out on roasting pan. Roast the chicken and the steeped apples, onions, etc, will steam from the inside out, imbueing the chicken with their aromatic goodness, and helping keep the chicken juicy. You can also put some chicken/vegetable stock in the bottom of the pan with the “veggie-rack” which will mix with the drippings, cooking and seasoning the veggies.

Cook up a starch of choice, pop a bottle of your favorite wine, and enjoy.

Be safe all.

QOTD: Sasha in his hat earnestly trying to get to the bottom of the chicken and apple mystery. Stopping and questioning even his own son about the matter as you left the breakroom. A good example of the corporate “hands on” approach ownership sometimes uses in order to be involved st every level of operation. Even in a cameo role he steals the show. Peace.

OH GV. I love it when the show gets a little crazy and you move to another location. If you had a reality show that was just the inner working of Wine Library I would totally watch it.

Chicken – paprikash
Apple – Pie

You can see I love to eat.

LOve the laid back friday couch being back on WLTV!! Going to find the person who brought it was great!!

As for the wine, I love hearing about white wines from different regions. I have been on such a white wine kick as of late. So a wine bringing the thunder for under 15 bones!! Awesome. Now, if I could just find something like there in TN.

QOTD: When I think chicken, I cant help to think of my granny’s fried chicken. Awesome stuff.

When I think apples. Granny smith. Its just what pops into my head.

This guy is the Bill Mays of wine video. Shouting doesn’t make you make interesting, in fact, quite the opposite.

Wine > The Boss ANY DAY

I want to work at the Wine Library. That’s the best looking break room I’ve ever seen (Chicken, Apples, Yogurt and Wine!)

Chicken and apples to me sounds like a dish I’d have in the winter. Some curry and spices in there… or a chutney…. mmmmm

QOTD:

1) CHICKEN: Men…they taste like chicken (doesn’t everything?)! Ummm…this is a private joke between me and a pal.

2) APPLES: The scent of my once-a-year (Thanksgiving) pies baking in the oven. Everyone says I make the best…my Mom really did.

Great show Gary! Again you have rocked the wine world with what you are doing. I just wanted to also give you props and thanks you for making my dream come true with http://www.cyclenow.us. We are rocking the cycling world and it is ALL because of you my friend.

Continue to be scary!

Thanks for this episode–right up my alley since I’ve been on a kick for Italian whites (other than pinot grigio) this summer: Falanghina, Greco de Tufo, Soave, Arneis, Verdicchio, Tocai Friulano, Vermentino — there’s a whole world out there.

QOTD – When you say “chicken” and then say “apples,” I start to think about how to cook them to pair them up with a that Falanghina. (Maybe roasted together with some walnuts. Man, I’m starting to think all my taste is in my mouth.)

LAID BACK …..
I got my mind on my chicken, and an apple on my mind.
