QOTD: Definitely the time I had my first legal drink (you all know you drank underage, don’t lie!).

I was in Heathrow on our way to Prague and Poland for a choir tour. I was with a number of my friends, and we made a beeline for the first bar with seats, settled down, and drank ’til our plane left. Good times.

Seriously, best one yet! Love the randomness of the airport, guest, and chicken nuggets!
QOTD: Having to be paged by name in Laguardia Airport with four of my friends to report to the departure gate(from the bar) because we were still having so much fun we didn’t want to leave!
BTW-Happy belated bday GV!

Gary – did you get back to the doctor after the show? He seemed BORING. You were a gentleman with him. Did I mention he was boring?

QOTD: For all the wine I drink, I’ve never had wine on an airplane or in an airport. I need to be in top form should something go down and I’d need to be called on to assist in ejecting passengers, a water landing or something similar.

I think the good doctor was either drunk or a politician…or both. That would explain why, when he saw the camera, he couldn’t help himeself from droning on, and on, and on even though the conversation was already over.
QOTD: I finally had enough miles to get the automatic upgrade on Continental and took full advantage of the free booze in 1st class on the way home from a business trip.

I carry 2006 Little Boomey Shiraz on my happy hour menu at Tasca Wine Bar in Los Angeles! Decent value at close-out price from my distributor. GREAT TO SEE YOU ON THE BOOK TOUR WHEN YOU WERE AT WORLD MARKET IN LA, BRO!!

QOTD: Last year, Atlanta, Flying back to LA from RI with a stopover, glass of Luis Martini Cab (the best they had for the price…just to pass the time before my next flight), me a girl waiting for a flight as well, bought her a glass of wine, talked for 45 min, and went our separate ways… ah- the connections that we make that may never be revisited again… or will they?

I love the little look to camera after you get rid of The Doctor!

Love the NIN in the background! Thanks for cutting the nice doctor dude off.

QOTD: I try to avoid airport wines and stick to beer. Best experience though was probably in JFK after missing a flight and being stuck for 5 hours. Just chilled, surfed the internet and drank wine. Don’t even remember what it was, just very relaxing and that’s what is all about right Mott?

I had a glass of sparkling wine on a flight from San Francisco to Savannah, I don’t remember if it was good but it was exciting because I was old enough to get it and it was my first time on a plane alone!

Can’t remember where I was, but on my way home from Somewheresville, first leg of the flight was long and tiring, and on my layover went to a Wolfgang Puck Cafe in the terminal (might have been Atlanta). Good salad there, but the chard I downed with it was just what the doctor ordered. Doesn’t really matter that I can’t remember which chard, just that it relaxed me enough to think about going home to my husband, my sanctuary, my cocoon. It was the perfect attitude adjuster.

I’ve often said that chardonnay can cure a lot.

I dont think its a good idea to be too drunk with chicken on the airport.

Awesome episode. Chicken McNuggets are addictive.

My best drinking experience in an airport bar was last January at a Chili’s in PIT when I was flying to Montreal for my first week on a new job for training with a co-worker who was also going. The Steelers were starting the conference final against Baltimore while we were flying. We were pissed we had to leave the bar and miss the first half as it started right as we were leaving.

After landing in Montreal, we had our French Canadian cabbie race to our hotel downtown to watch it in the bar there. That was fun, as they don’t believe in plowing anything up there.

I am now unemployed. FAIL.

Funny episode…

Best ever wine drinking experience as Lafite Rothschild 1983

After 3½ hours in the bottle, which I had served a customer while I was working as a waiter. Having decantered this wine at the table, a little rest was left in the bottle to leave the sediment in the bottle. Later I was fortunate enough to get to taste a little sip of this wine. – and WHAT af wine.

This extreme “grapejuice” knocked my socks of…. and I have been “infected” by the wine-interest ever since.

I am thanking the wine maker at Lafite every day – since being a consious wine drinker has given me a number of great experiences since…..

Little secret tip of the day – try Rhone 2007 (yeah right – how secret is that tip

Other than that – thanks Gary for keeping up the good work.

LMAO! Gary, the interruption on this episode was classic…and handled with class. Don’t have a best wine story (cause wine in airports and planes usually suck). But i’ve got one with scotch. First class from Pittsburgh to San Francisco. Old dude sits down next to me and says “hey lady, me and the kid here are gonna have some scotch”. Huh??? Didn’t know the dude from Adam. Turns out a really fun guy. Not being a scotch drinker, I was not used to its effects and he just kept ordering. When I asked what he did for a living – “ahhh, I just play golf these days”. After 4+ hour flight, we land and i’m shit faced. Had to take a cab to my hotel. I open the Sports Illustrated the next morning, and there he is – Tom Wargo, golf pro on the senior tour, with his hands in the air after winning the Motorola open. Quite the character.

Wow, everyone really seems to be hating. Although this may only be my second or third posting, I’ve been with the show for at least 2 years. I understand the hustle and wish you the best of luck. I personally love the “on the road” shows (though that tool interrupted the episode seemed like a pyramid scam pusher). Keep up the fun episodes, especially the fast food/cereal pairing ones.
QOTD: It was a really bad day, and I was waiting to get on a crappy cross country flight. I ordered a $5 glass of Callia Pinot Gri and quickly consumed it with a piece of Sparro’s Cheese pizza. Sometimes greasy pizza and an acidic glass of wine is exactly what you need.

Gary, started watching about 1 month ago and I’ve been going back month by month to view the old episodes. Ep 153 is phenomenal! I’ve tried a similar tasting session with the massive deluxe pack of jelly belly jelly beans but it’s obviously not as legit as what you did. I’m living in Australia (from Boston) and WLTV is changing my wine-drinking and food-eating world.

QOTD: I always go with the screwdriver, never fails.

What was up w/ that guy???? That was friggin’ hysterical. First he just barges into the episode. You are very gracious…..then….finally….after seeing that he’s going to continue on and on, you point out that you’re filming an Episode….but no effect…he just droned on. Then, you tried to shake his hand to end it…..but no effect..her droned on. Then you handed him the book to end it….he simply took the book and put it down on the table….and, of course…droned on. Finally, you had to kick him off camera. Friggin’ classic!!!

Hey Gary,

What the heck man, no new episodes since Nov 3rd? It’s almost been a week.
The last time you didn’t post for a week was when Lizzy had the baby.
I hope everything is ok.
I know you’re busy with your book tour, but keep your fans happy, how about another plane/hotel episode?

QOTD: Best drink at an airport – draft Denver Coors so fresh someone just got back from bringing a keg from the brewery a few miles away. Sadly they only have Coors light on draft now at the Denver airport.

Coolest drink was on the plane, first time in business class and the stewardess remembered my double scotch when she brought an unsolicited second round.

Worst wine on a plane, I was not even drinking it but also in business class the stewardess spilled someone else’s wine on my laptop and I ended up needing a new motherboard!

I recently was in a Commorata & Berardi wine cellar in Bergen County, NJ. Commorata & Berardi are the premier designers and builders of luxury custom homes in the New York Metro area. No one designs and builds wine cellars like these guys. Gary you should try to do an episode in one of their wine cellars. http://www.commorata-berardi.com

QOTD: At an airport? I hate airports. I think I sat at an airport bar and drank a couple of Bloody Mary’s once, but that’s about it for drinking experiences.

Dude, these last few shows have really been lame. Perhaps we would all be better if you waited for the book tour to end before adding more content.
