Gary, I drink wine every evening while preparing dinner as well as with dinner. I always have 3 bottles open at any given time and keep them on nitrogen. This also allows me to compare them against each as well as pair the right wines up with what I am eating.

“Lee Suggs up the middle for 2 yds. Get used to it Gary.”

Ed, Lee Suggs failed his physical… no trade!

Geez, whatta bunch of winos!! “3 bottles open at a time”…”drink a bottle every day”…”wine every evening”… Man, this is like going to an AA meeting! I’m surprised you guys can even type! 😉 (I KNOW I’m going to get flamed for that!)

I don’t drink as much wine at this time of year as I’d like. I’m not a fan of whites, and when it’s 110 outside, a heavy cab isn’t appealing. 🙁

In the cooler parts of the year, my wife and I probably drink a couple/three of bottles a week. We also occasionally have tasting parties and go on trips to the wine country, so at those times, we look a lot more like the typical WLTV viewer.

Great episode, Gary. I’m not much of a Pinot fan, but you actually made all of those wines really interesting. I got to admit, it’s just plain fun to watch you taste and talk about wine. I wish everyone was as passionate about their work.

Gary:

I drink wine about 5 days a week. I’m still trying to store bottles away like a Squirrel. Is it true he who dies with the most bottles wins? If not tell me!!

So much for Suggs!

Good ep, Gary! Gar, rather than kick you in the balls, can we whack you in your balls with a wine bottle of our favorite(choice) wine? Seriously, good to see you back on track. As far as the question, my wife and I(well, mostly me) might knock back 2 to 3 bottles on the weekend(Fri-Sun). I get pissed when I open a bottle and it sucks, have to open another to finish on a good note. Also, thanks for entertaining us even though we know your extremely and understandably busy. Keep up the good work!

And oh yeah, Gary you OWE me (and all of your fans) an episode on the effects of heat on wine, how heat affects aging, how much heat wine can take without damage, what cooks a wine and how to tell, how to store your wine, and the value (if any) of a wine cooler…

…and it better be a GOOD episode! 😉

Might not be a bad idea to have 3-4 bottles of the same wine, one “properly” stored, one stored at room temperature, one stored in a warm spot, and one stored in a sunny window or commercial kitchen. And then taste them all side by side to see what difference there is between them. Of course, you’d have to store them like that for several months to see any effect.

I am hooked! started listening yesterday and I can’t get enough. You have got something good here, keep it up. As for your question, 4-6 bottles a week.

Gary, welcome to the WS forum!! I ask you a question on episode 66 queston 41, I believe. If you get a sec please send me a response.

Vaynerchuk up the middle for a 2 yard loss. The way the Jets are going anything is possible.

Gary

Glad to see back to your more normal enthusiastic style.

My question is somewhat a logistical one. When do you usually read the comments for the last time before recording the day’s episode?

To answer your question: as often as I can, usually 4-5 times a week.

Nick

Gary,

Another great episode. I had the Colombe pommard recently; I liked it a bit better than you but I did decant for 4 hours. Here is my tasting note: “Medium ruby color leads to a nose of cherry and cinnamon. The palate reveals loads of vibrant cherry with cinnamon and nutmeg. Smooth fininsh. A really nice burgandy – this almost tastes like California.”

I drink wine 5 or 6 nights a week.

Here is my question – I have a reasonable idea about the preferred aging of the bordeaux grapes but the ideal aging of pinot is a mystery to me. Can you shed any light on the subject? Thanks

another great episode, with regards to episode 69, I think Bono of U2 said it best “don’t let the bastards bring you down”. I think you provide a great service to a lot of people. One thing you have gotten away from it seems, is in the past few episodes you have failed to mention how long bottles should age. I think you could do a whole episode on what is the appropriate time to age bottles from different regions. I know the Europeans always make fun of us for drinking our wines too soon.

If I can have a glass 4 -5 nights out of a week, it has been a pretty good week.

I drink wine probably 3-4 times per week. We also have a wine group[the dead wine society] that meets mthly and blind tastes.

Great episode. I graduated from PITT the same year as Curtis, and he was a stud there. I am, however, amazed at how well he made the transistion to the the NFL, and had a fairly long and injury-free career until recently. The Steelers are the only football team for me.

QOTD: Between my wife an myself, we usually drink about 3 bottles per week.

My wife and I drink 4-5 bottles per week. I am a firm believer in the health benefits of wine, especially red wine, but more importantly wine is a wonderful luxury item that brings enjoyment daily into our lives.

Gary-Not a big Jets fan since you guys (Jets fans)lit the seats on fire at the Meadowlands and got our (Giants fans) beer cut off at halftime and banned for Monday night games, but you’re right about Curtis M: a real class act!

I probably drink wine 2-4 nights a week on average. The amounts vary widely…..Got incredibly careless this weekend and popped one of my 2001 Barolo’s instead of the ’93 lying next to it in my storage unit. Doh! I decanted it for about 4 hours before drinking it. Damn good but my heart aches for what might have been. I opened the ’93 anyway to make myself feel better.

a bottle a day keeps the doctor away……..or is that an apple?

A bottle a day keeps the apple away?

Joan and I drink a bottle with dinner every night.

Every day some wine; several(4-7) bottles a week.

My wife and I normally share a bottle with dinner… and if it’s really good …open another 🙂

I drink wine at least once a week, though if I had more wine I’d probably prefer a glass a night.

Great episode.

We have wine 2 – 3 time per week. This time of year probably 75% whites. That switched during the winter.

And…the vast majority of our wine comes from this cool shop in Springfield, NJ!

Gary,

Do not worry about #69, forgetting what time it is – is not the end of the world. All of your other episodes are good.

When are you doing a NJ/PA wine vblog?
