OK…question for the Blog…
How many people feel they are WLTVaholics?
I obviously spend a lot of time in this online community and I’m wondering if any of you feel totally hooked on it!
Even you “Lurkers” out there…step it up…let us know!

Um…Three Blind Moose Merlot…Not Good

Gary…whats your take on Bottle Shock?
Do you think it goes just for the bottling stages, or shipping as well?
How long till bottle shock wears off?

I went to UFC Saturday night at the Pond in Anaheim, CA.
What a great sport that is turning out to be. If any one is interested, I got some great shots of Matt Hughes, Georges St. Pierre, Joe Riggs, and Lidell.
Tito Ortiz is dating Jenna Jamison….geeese!
It was a lot of fun!

Brandon,

I have the RSS feed at work and watch it as soon as I have a few spare minutes.

Addicted, I guess so.

And I have to *work* for a living!

i’m guessing we will find out what the green screen is about in episode 100.. I’m suspecting some special effects are involved..

I AM OBSESSED!!!!!!!!!

Gary,

The labels need to be larger or go back to the old way.

hi,
it was a good show.

thanks

Hey Gary…..if you love Cheese, then next time your in Little Italy, go to the Alleva Dairy on the corner of Mulberry and Grand. It has the best cheese in the world and is the oldest cheese store in America, opened in 1892. Oh and its a shameless plug becuase that store is owned by my girlfriends parents.

-Stallion

Jambalaya with a good Aussie shiraz. Unbelievable.

I’ll take the chalk – sauternes and bleu cheese.

Classic episode…top 5.
The pairings were phenominal, just wish I could buy the cheese as well as the wine.
The labels definitely show up better when the camera zooms in on them.
Love the mouthful of cheese and talking at the same time!

Favorite paring is Filet Mignon and Cab.

Let’s not let the WLTV party debate slide into obscurity….San Francisco / Napa / Sonoma!

Cool little effect with the label…unfortunately you still can’t read it.

One of the best episodes ever… seriously start the new proyect…. cheese librery tv.. lousy joke sorry 🙁

Gary:

Great Show! Loved the pairings and color scheme.

Please please get rid of that “Gang” green screen…it’s not so easy on the eyes and makes it harder to appreciate the wine color.

A flashing neon jets sign would be less annoying….but still annoying

nice touch with the label popup in the corner.

favorite pairing-any big red with meat, or sauternes with fruit tart, or port and chocolate etc etc etc….but really-rack of lamb and amarone is awesome

Gary, top 10 episode! Rockin’ dude! What was with the eye-bugging before you spit the Jansz? Looked like the wine reached out and zapped you.

Brandon M is definitely the biggest WLTVaholic, but I’m up there. I was in a meeting today showing people the usage stats on my photography website. Wine Library TV shows up in the list of referring sites (because people click on my Gavitar grapes). When someone asked me about why Wine Library TV showed up, I stopped right there and went to the site to see if there was a new episode – right there in the middle of a meeting. I think they thought I was nuts. Luckily the new ep wasn’t up yet, or I would have walked out of the meeting.

Gary, one of the best pairings was last night. I tried that Montirius Vaqueyras you reviewed in ep #36. No kidding about the major tannins. Even after three hours decanting, this was a big tannic wines, with a real bitter edge in the finish. I was getting really down on it until we sat down to dinner. We had a simple pasta meal, marinara with mushrooms, onions and black olives, with a healthy dose of fresh grated parmesan cheese over linguini. The acid in the sauce and the fat in the cheese totally balanced out this wine. Smooth and earthy. Outstanding. Without the food – bitter and unbalanced.

Great Episode…and yes…I’m WLTVaholic…but it beats regular TV anyday.
My favorite pairing… sourdough bread and a nice chateauneuf du pape!

Slow servers at 6:30p today. Gary, thanks for the shout out to New Orleans! I’m an ex-resident, not from Katrina but ten years earlier. Love to meet there for the party. Chris S. — mil gracias.

Good show and nice to the pairings; but cat piss? I thought I was hearing things so I went back and sure enough I was right. I dont think thats a quality I would prefer and I hope Im not alone. I have two cats and thats some rancid stuff. Now to find the Razon. I have to agree with the others the small logo in the upper right hand corner is too small.

Hi Gary,

I enjoyed your episode today. I am also always looking for good food pairings. I’ve read somewhere that cheese actually ruins the taste of wine . . . but I think that writer just liked to see his own thoughts in print. I am a big fan of blue cheese with sweeter wines (like late harvest Riesling and Sauternes).

I stopped by Sand Castle Winery in PA today (http://www.sandcastlewinery.com)to buy some terrific late harvest Rieslings at just $15 a pop. The proprieter thanked me for my purchase because they “really needed it”. Apparently the State closed the main road and changed around a lot of local festivals so they don’t get as much business as they used to. The owner, Joseph Maxian, said he had met Gary before and would love to have Wine Library sell some of their wines. Contact me directly for info Gary, he gave me his personal e-mail — they have some very nice local wines!

My wife made me write this comment so she can get a T-shirt. She also makes me watch your shows every now and then. Thanks for taking her off my hands for a few minutes every day.

Now she tells me I forgot to write who she is — she is “Jaye”

Some specific pairings that I have enjoyed a great deal are Sauterne with Fois Gras and Champagne with raw oysters. But as you have alluded to, the best wine and food pairing has as much to do with the “atmosphere and mindset” as with the specific wine and food itself, so the best pairings are good wine with good food with good friends.

Hi, Gary, I am a first time viewer. My daughter jaye sent me here.
