100?

Great episode, Gary. The funny ones are the best. I am sure you were just pretending to talk on your cell phone, to get some of that “breakin’ the law” flavor pumping.

I saw Haley Giraldo, Pat Benetar’s daughter, on “Filthy Rich Cattle Drive”, a reality show on E (?) last year. Very hot, but came off as a vacuous little airhead. Maybe it was the editing…..Yeah, I just admitted to watching “Filthy Rich Cattle Drive”. I also watched “Celebrity Mole” and liked it!
QOTD: directly related to my answer to an earlier QOTD, worst wine experience, Hungarian sparkling wine. Not nearly as good as that mediocre Pinot you tasted.

Great episode…let me guess, you listen to the Soprano’s theme every single day you go to work? I thought so. The one wine I’ll never have again is anything from Duckhorn. They sued, or tried to sue, a small winery I believe in the New York area, because that winery had the word “Duck” in their title! Greedy corporate bastards!

Anyway, I heard that story years and years ago and am foggy on all the details, but I’ve sworn off Duckhorn after that, and haven’t tried it since. If you, or someone else out there, knows the details of the story, I’d love to hear about it. It’s been awhile, heck, I may even be wrong, so I’d like to know that as well.

OK, see you later.
Go Bears!

Isn’t it illegal to drive in NJ while on your cell phone?

Try Google.com sometime.

the wine I’ll never buy again was that Baco Cab you turned us on to. dude, I think your show jumped the shark on that episode. In fact, I opened the second bottle I bought figuring there was something wrong with the first and both went down the sink. blech! it was like dirty socks dipped in a compost.

fortunatly the Mellville you had mentioned was there to salvage our Saturday night. ; )

Gary,

With your Pat Benatar obsession, I envision you sitting at home watching the DVD of 13 Going On 30. Its my wife and daughter’s favorite movie to watch together and sing along. Didn’t know you were so into chick flicks. 😉

Another great episode…Looking forward to trying the 2003 Corte Riva Merlot.

I’ll never have another Freemark Abbey Wine, especially the Sycamore Vineyard. I purchased a case of the 2006 at the vineyard a few years ago and brought it home. Almost every bottle was tainted…badly. And when I complained I never got a response. Needless to say, both the wine and the service left a bad taste in my mouth!

Pure genius on the intro!

QOD – Wine I’ll never have again: DuBoeuf Beaujolais Nouveau. I can handle some really cheap and bad wines if presented with nothing else to drink, but that stuff is so awful I’m not even sure I’d call it wine

I was so disappointed in a Dr. Loosen riesling I had recently. It was really just like drinking sugar water, and I like German rieslings–for example, the ’01 Charles Schleret Riesling Herrenweg. I did really enjoy the Ste Michelle-Dr Loosen Eroica Riesling I had not long ago, however–that’s a ‘new world’ co-production.

Gary:

I stay away from anything from Austrialia for the most part. It always a little too new world and has a hint of Yellow Tale (Which I can’t Drink). However, I did have one Pennefolds Private Reserve 99′ that was pretty good.

Julia – The Eroica is a nice bottle of wine. My wife loves riesling and always buys this one called ‘Relax’ and I always make fun of her for doing so. Then one day I’m listening to the SF Chronicle podcast and they guy does a review of ‘Relax’. It made me feel like a wine snob so now I don’t make fun of anything she wants to drink…

Gary

For the next time you smell worms in your wine!

two questions GV-
1) No hands-free cellphone law in NJ??
2) Don’t u have a private reserved parking space where no one will ding your Lexus??

Outstanding episode, as always

Hugh

DaveL – Why do you say its an illegal left turn into WineLibrary’s parking lot? I do it every time I go there, can’t say I ever saw a sign to the contrary…

Thanks Hinrgman!

Gary – I think changing around the comments section would make for much better conversations. You could have one for ‘current episode’ but stuff like ‘What are you drinking tonight?’ and ‘What’s your favorite new restaurant?’ are timeless. We need a more hierarchical format than this.

Spreadsheet is up! Great job Chris and WL tech team!

Mr. Vaynerchuk, I am Officer Wilson of the State Police. I am hereby issuing you a summons for driving without a seatbelt as well as for use of a cellular phone while driving without a hands-free device. However, I am a big Sopranos fan and I think your intro, while dangerous, was creative. I suppose I can let this one slide.

Keep up the solid work and DRIVE SAFE!!!

Hey GOL- where is spreadsheet?

Nice job on the spreedsheet! Looks great! I’m glad that it’s sortable too. Nice work Chris Stan and the folks at WL.

To the right of the “search box” on the tv.winelibrary.com page… “Chris Stanisci’s Spreadsheet”

Triple Ditto…great job on the spread sheet.
Rob…there’s a link right between where the episode block ends, and the Schwag link.

Great spreadsheet Chris. Really nice job. I note when you sort by price it doesn’t quite. A small glitch in a wonderful tool.

Thanks again!

Zuper Tool! Chris . . . you rock!
