Day-um! Only 3rd!

Ahhhhh dang…nice job zerokreap

Not even! Only 5th!

thanks brandon….nice to get some recognition since i have yet to get a shout out from gary (ehhum):)….okay…question of the day: i drink 1-3 bottles a week…usually pop it open one day and drink half, then vacu-vin it and put it in th efridge…drag it out after work the next day , go work out, then pop it open around 9 or 10…most of the wines i have get better after the cold and time…taste great the next day…interesting hunh.
personal question: gary, are there any products out on th emarket that you want to rave about….whether it be gas that helps you perserve you wine, or a really kick-ass cork screw…got any raves?

To think people have nothing better to do than to wait around for WLTV to come on so they can be first to post . . ., I am usually too busy working so I can afford to buy more wine. But I guess having a contest for making WLTV your life is a good gig for some.

Nice episode today, Gary. I am happy to see you back to form.

QOD: I try to drink a glass of wine every day.

Great episode.

I drink wine about 5 days per week. As zerokreap asks above, an episode on wine gadgetry would be interesting.

Gary – another great episode, I love your enthusiasm! My wife and I usually go through 1 bottle every two days.
Still hoping to hear the answer to all the questions on aging. Once again, here’s mine… I have always wondered why it is perfectly acceptable for a liquor store to keep all their wine at room temp (72-75 degrees) and maybe higher in the â??back storage roomâ? and under strong lights but unacceptable for the average wine connoisseur. In fact, I would love to know what temps a bottle of wine has had to endure to go from the winery in the land down under all the way to New Jersey â?¦Or maybe from S. Africa to the US? I find it very hard to believe the hold of a cargo ship is a loving 55 degrees the whole way!

QOD answer:
I almost always drink wine as part of dinner – so when the meal calls for a wine match – I oblige it. Since there are meals that call for a coke or beer as a better match……I probably average opening 4 bottles per week. However, as much as I like drinking wine – it seems I like buying it ever more…..I buy about 8 bottles per week – thus accumulating a cellar of over 100 cases. My wife suggests either buying less or drinking more, as she is not interested in leaving the kids a wine fortune. Gary, do many of regulars have a similar problem?

Joe

very good episode … thanks

I drink a bottle nearly every night.

I try to drink a bottle every day but it ends up being more like 5 a week.

Thanks for finally tasting some Pinot’s.

My question:

Who are the Jets and who is Curtis Martin and why should we care? 🙂

Gary…did you actually say kick me in the balls? THAT WAS CLASSIC!

drinking / tasting about 4 bottles a week. Two during the week, and then one on Friday, and one on Saturday.

Question…Do you have guys / gals who just collect and don’t drink? My wife tells me I like buying more than I like drinking. I say it’s the other way around. Just wondering if you have anyone coming in and buying a 3L of Ch. Lafite and then having the “Balls” to actually lay it down for 20+ years.

I drink a glass, two or three a night. Each bottle I finish onthe 2nd or sometimes the third night and they have always been fine even on the third day (vaccumed and refridgerated)

Joe… I buys a case or two of various bottle at a time and re-stock when I start to get low, unfortunatly being young and living in and apartment I dont have the space for more than a few cases at a time.

Gary..I agree an aging episode, a gadget eposode, as well as info on what to decant and what not too. I usually decant all reds for an hour but I have a feeling there maybe more to it depending on region and vintage.

And by the way Jaye…in order to be in the top 10 you have to be waiting for the episode, so don’t give us this whiney “I’m working” crap. Just try to get up higher next time. 🙂

“Who are the Jets and who is Curtis Martin and why should we care? ”

The jets are a 4th place football team…lol

(sorry gary I am a bills fan, the bills and jets will probally be fighting for last place this year)

I drink wine every night unless I’m sick…

Daily

3-4 nights a week, mostly pinots. Hence, LOVED the episode on pinots (although I could do without hearing about how a wine makes “the hair on my back stand up”!).

Cheers.

maybe the Fischer was affected by the great heat of 2003 in Europe??

Gary:

Your facial reaction to the mention of episode 69 (I think it will become know as the “infamous episode 69”) was one of dissapointment and let-down. It shouldn’t be. The comments were 90% in favor of the fun of episode 69. On the whole – we got the gag and had fun with it. Gary – don’t let some fun-bashers derail the true you. Most of us Love “you being You with Us”. Please stay you.

Now for a serious question. How would the typical Santa Barbara style of Pinot have fared among today’s lineup? My notion is that is much more fruit forward and perhaps “simplistic”?? More like Beaujolais? We know you don’t love Burgundy – which is your favorite region?

Joe….In my opinion that is the question of the day, I wish I would have thought of it. The Sea Smoke (Southing / Botella) I have had seem to give off abit more Terrior (to me….Earth) than the Kosta Browne / MacPhail style wines. But they are all so damn good that it is hard to tell.

Lee Suggs up the middle for 2 yds. Get used to it Gary. Drink wine 4 days a week, work the other 4. Can’t drink and drive
