“Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.”
Doug Larson

Great episode — good to know the overall impression of the ’05s (I’m likely to stay away as I don’t generally like the lighter style Pinot’s), but may have to try the Quail Hill (if I can find it!)

QOD: Bacon RULES!!! I would eat bacon at 3 meals a day if I could!!! Bacon, egg and cheese on a fresh biscuit for breakfast. BLT for lunch. Bacon Cheeseburger for dinner.

If you want a real treat have:
1) North Country smokehouse bacon (you can order online). The Cobb smoked and Applewood smoked are both amazing!
2) The bacon appetizer at Peter Lugers. Evil!
3) The bacon entree in the tavern room at Grammercy Tavern. More resembles pork belly than what you’d expect from the entrees description. HEAVEN!

guess not!!

Bacon… is … AWESOME!

Patricia Green Quail Hill Pinot Noir 2005? Anymore coming in? I shouldn’t even be buying more wine but I was going to make an exception for this!

Good show. Are you sure that you aren’t coming down with something? Your voice sounded a little scratchy.
Was that a Freudian slip?

Bacon… It’s like cheese it makes everything better. But seriously there is nothing like the Bacon at Peter Luger’s.. Unbelievable stuff. Wolfgang’s Steakhouse in NYC does the bacon almost as good as Luger’s. Must be the ovens!

Gary, I’m a little concerned about you. Hopefully, you’re just under the weather. Your energy at the start of the show seemed very light. Call me crazy, but after a hard day at work, I really, really look forward to that hyper-energized hello and welcome. The “Hi, it’s me” left me feeling a little sad…today your voice is low, your brow is furrowed…anyway, hope all is well. Great information in the show (as always!), and you really picked up toward the end, but you’re shiny, happy self just seemed a little low. (Let me add, however, that your cap throw to the camera was right on!!)

Taking advantage of the kids bathtime tonight to escape and watch this episode…they shouted in to ask if I was watching “Timmy Turner!” hahaha Just HAD to share that one…

263…Can’t be a baby countdown. The gestation period is 280 days, right? Can the countdown really start already…I mean would you really know already? Anyway, from my calculations (I’m terrible at math) I think we’re looking at August 19. I’m a sports Philistine, so I can’t figure out the significance of that date. Perhaps a draft, someone’s retirement? The crush in Carneros?

Clarification…the kids thought your voice sounded like Timmy Turner’s…

thanks for the preview of the 05 Pinot. I likes me some bacon! jp

Is there really going to ba a baby V?

I’d rule out the baby scenario based on the fact that a pregnancy lasts roughly 270 days from what I can gather. So he’d really have to be confident that he delivered, but i could be wrong.

Gary,

I really liked the understated introduction today. When you are a star,understatement is a lovely quality.

I love Pinot. Especially Oregon Pinot.

What do you think of Broadley? They must age well, because some older vintages have knocked me out – and they seem to thread the “Vaynerchuck” needle of balance between new and old world style. Am I off base here?

QOD – Bacon. Love it. Nothing finer than a BLT. Unless it’s bacon and eggs…or just bacon, all by itself.

Any woman who loves Bacon I Love – good job Karen

QOTD

I never eat bacon. I have no opinion on taste.
The nose is fine.

Bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon….. BAAACCOONN!!!! (I am vaguely remembering a dog treat commercial…anyone else thing that?).

LOVE bacon! Bacon wrapped around scallops is to die for! I agree with E-rock that the bacon at Wolfgang’s was outstanding (never been to Luger’s).

The ’05 oregon pinots got quite a few Vaynernod’s! will check out Patty’s Quail Hill when WL receives a new shipment.

Hey Gary. Just sitting here enjoying an interesting Red Zin and watching WLTV on my laptop. Figured I’d come out of lurkhood and say hello.

I really enjoy the show. Thanks.

Another hit, Gary. Bacon…absolutely one of the best tastes/smells in the world. Hey…is it my imagination or was the lighting during taping a little different today? Different time of day?

Beautiful! You didn’t sound like an East Coaster this time. As I live in Washington (the state, not the D.C.) I get down to Orygun a few times a year. I visited Penner Ash during the Memorial Day weekend; I thought the wines were very good but a bit too expensive. The winery itself is beautiful with nice grounds.

Jon777 What wine would/do you go for with Luger’s steak? Others can weigh in, but please don’t throw a 100 dollar bottle out there. Something reasonable that would rock.

Oregon wine rules!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Especially our Pinot Noir. 2002 was also a great year for our Pinot.

Great episode, as every day, but I could not view the download from iTunes. Had to watched right out of the website on my browser. This’s never happened before. Bacon? I like mine toasty crunchy almost burnt, not oily and soft, as opposed to Chocolate Chip cookies. I love soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies; don’t care much for the blue package. Just a thought.

QOD: As a vegetarian for the last 12+ years, I can say that bacon is my greatest temptation to eat meat again. Thankfully so many South African Merlots rich in bacon and smoked pork flavors are a cure for my cravings.
