    Episode #74…Comment #43 is where I ask the question and there are a lot of answers after that.
    Good luck

    Enjoying the episode with the last glass of the Jumilla Panarroz (sp?) I opened last night. Maybe not a true diamond given the price and RP rating, but I enjoyed the wine. I have found some inexpensive Spanish reds that RP rated highly to be good, others not so good. Probably just as much as I agree with RP on wine of any other price point or any other region. Nice blueberry fruit with just enough tannin and structure to make you realize it is wine, not fruit juice. Not terribly complex, but if it was a $15 bottle, I would not be upset with my purchase. That is my “diamond” for you and the list.

    QOD: I think Tom and Jerry was my favorite. I was also a Beavis and Butthead fan when they were on.

    Looking forward to having you “back” tomorrow. Thanks for all you continue to do.

    Another great episode. I have been a lurker since your inception. No excuse for not posting really. In anycase, a quick question for you: how do you remember the wines you drank months ago in restaurants?

    To all
    I’m sitting here, minding my own business, sippin’ my Koura Bay Sauv Blanc (You were right, Gary. Soooo good) and my wine is being attacked by dive-bombing gnats! Is this a problem for anyone else? If so, what the heck do you do about it? What’s a little more organic matter, right?

    Why can’t wine be shipped to Kentucky and will that ever change?

    Chris, Thank You!! Your spreadsheet is way cool! How much time did you spend putting all that together? Looking forward to your next one. Thanks again.

    Gary,
    I echo Mark Z. Thanks for the 3 episodes in advance of your trip. WLTV becomes quite addicting.

    QOD:
    (1) Chris S nailed it. Bar none, the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour that used to run on Saturday mornings was the best cartoon show ever. Nothing better.
    (2) Smurphs. What a fun show that was for a kid
    (3) Hong Kong Fuey! (number one super guy)
    (4) Superfriends (wondertwin powers….. activate!)

    Chris S… if you’re still out there. Please send your spreadsheet my way pbackman@nyc.rr.com. Thanks!

    Nice mix of wines, styles and prices. Great to be exposed to new and different choices!

    As for cartoons:
    1. Looney Tunes – absolutely zany
    2. Rocky and his friends (loved Peabody and Sherman & Fractured Fairy Tales)
    3. Batman, the Animated series – cool art work
    4. The Tick – offbeat to say the least

    Did Gary throw out a “NICE PACKAGE” today on the 2005 John Anthony Sauvignon Blanc????

    QOD – Have to go with Jetsons – Way ahead of their time…

    Good evening all!

    Gary – I have to ditto Mark Z above and commend you for the pre-taping of WLTV – the effort is much appreciated by your viewers.

    Only gripe – why the heck didn’t you do this episode last night… lol – I placed a pick-up order last night (I saw the Match Cab came back in and didn’t want to wait to do the shopping in store) so while I was at it – I needed to get a few whites and added them to the order. Now here you add 2 more for me try (and of course I’ll have to support my fellow surfers w/ the Olson). Looks like I now have to do a little in store shopping tomorrow when I pick up the order. 🙂

    OK, all joking aside – QOD: Beavis & Butthead, Scooby Doo, Woody Woodpecker, Looney Toons, Tom & Jerry and the Jetsons!!!

    P.S. – I see a few new names popping up on the board lately, so I just wanted to say Hi to all the new members and thanks for joining – aside from Gary, they various perspectives that everyone provides really helps to make this a better forum and helps us all to discover those little gems like we are seeing on the episode today!

    Awesome episode. Speaking of Sancerre, you should do an episode with some Sauv Blancs from the region.

    Current favorite cartoon: The Venture Bros.
    Others (in no particular order):
    South Park
    The Simpsons
    The Family Guy
    Aqua Teen Hunger Force

    I’ve got a really good idea for a future episode.

    WLTV Live!

    Put the word out several weeks in advance and have people show up at Wine Library on a Saturday or Sunday. The idea would be that as your tasting the wine, the people there can taste as well. I think it would be a great opportunity for people to actually try all of the wines that are shown in any given episode.

    Would also be fun to have everyone rate the wines to see how everyone’s tastes vary.
