    Gary,
    Great episode. It was very difficult trying to take you seriously as you talked about how “refined” and “elegant” and “thought-provoking” all the wines were when you had a sign next to your head reading “wine smells like poop.” Great juxtaposition.

  • yo gary….i wasn’t talking about what is the best source for tasting info…i was asking what is the best source for articles on growers, vineyards, etc. personally i just drink the stuff like you suggest…and get drunk, like you suggest….but i thought there might be some sort of wine magazine or something that you like to read. just wanted to hear something about you. i like the WLTV “terrior” section…interesting stuff.

    QOTD: Chat Larose Trintaudon Medoc 34700…

    oh yeah, and it is pronounced zero-creep…

    and for “off the wall” question’s sake: i watch all the UFCs that come on PPV…always drink wine with my blood sports…any suggestions? i find that italian wines work especially well with ass-kickings…not sure why…

  • TimF

    Wow, huge show today. Please taste the Trefethen Halo Cabernet Sauvignon 2001.

    A bunch of episodes ago you said Central Otago was the new hot place / greatest value in pinot noir, a good backup to todays show would be to taste the only other central otago pinot you have in the store. You tasted the 3 miners which was awesome (tasted at the super tasting last night) and you gave 95 pts to, tomorrow you should taste the Amisfield 2004 Central Otago, to see how it stacks up against the big burgundies from today.

  • zerokreap…tonight…free…spike…Ortiz…..Shamrock….Cabernet Sauvignon….pizza

    and thats my night! Ortiz is gonna KILL Shamrock again!

    Great…you’re early today. Gives me an excuse to take a work break.

    Another great episode!

    Question: We are expecting our first child in December and would like to buy a case of wine from the 2006 vintage (when it comes available) to save for his 21st birthday. I am leaning toward a Super Tuscan or Chianti and secondly a Bordeauxâ?¦ I would really like to hear your suggestions for a wine that will age well for the next two decades. Keep up the good work!

    Thanks in advance, Jason

    Hi Gary,
    It’s fun to watch these episodes and I really enjoy them but these are all out of my league. How about a few “value based wine shows”. Up to $10.00 and 10-15 and 15-20. That’s where I live and breath. My goal is finding great $10-$20 wines. There is no greater thrill and I do have a sophisticated pallete. I think you can do dozens of shows on these. I crave these.

    Gary – not a $2,000 wine but one that I really think is a great value, I would like you to taste the Jean Louis Chave Mon Coeur Cotes Du Rhone 2004

  • Bill T.

    Hey Gary, I agree with Coop! Enough with the $30+ episodes for a while. Let’s see some reviews on value wines. Nothing better than finding a $10 – $15 wine that is just outstanding! Gary, you have a wine store at your disposal, your viewers need your help to search out and lead us to the value juice!

    Whoops almost forgot…
    How about tasting the San Rustico Amarone 2000 …seems like a steal for $21!

    Lead us, Gary, to the value juice!

    Gary i have a question. I was wondering if it matters how one would store a non cork bottle of wine, either synthetic or scre cap. I mean i assume that such a bottle would not need to be stored on its side. thanks

    Gary,

    Nice episode! My pick for tomorrow woulbe be the 2002 Corison Cabernet. I loved the review of Cathys 2001, and am curious as to how the 2002 will stack up.

    Another vote with Coop and Bill T.
    And now a question for you, Gary (on the FAR other side of value).
    Diamond Creek Lake 1997 Napa Cabernet – 5L (okay, it’s big) – SPECIAL WL price of $4,999.99 per bottle.
    You can’t wear it on your finger. Can’t hang it on the wall. It’s a beverage – how does it get such a price? Have you sold any of these? Who buys them? What do YOU, Gary V., think of such a comodity?
    I don’t hold out any hope that you will taste it tomorrow –
    HOWEVER, perhaps you’ll consider 3 bottles – one for each of the WLTV party locations…
    I see a great potential fundraiser in the price of a taste –

    Gotta be honest G, not your best work today. And your decision making process for the party is beyond horrible… why give NY any more economic impetus when you’re an alleged Jersey die hard? You should’ve stayed true to your roots. Lastly, since I’m in a hemorrhaging mood, where have the VaynerNods gone? It’s like the white chick in Flavor of Love that lost her accent… it just disappeared??? Bring back the VaynerNods. Peace’out
