hey Gary, cool episode!

QOTD: for New Year’s, I have a Frank Family Blanc de Noirs sparkling that I’ve had tucked way… I am way more of a red fan than sparkling so I’m hoping to have something new and nice to welcome in the new year.

Nice haircut, Gary.

Good luck with the show tomorrow.

QOTD: Buying a case of Mumm Napa Blanc de Noirs. Yes, it pales in comparison to the wonderful choices I see here, but I will have a houseful of drunk friends, so I had to show some restraint. I gotta admit though, I love the stuff…

great tidbit about grenache being the most planted grape…did not know that. my homeroom sophmore year was in the small engine repair class!!! QOTD: not sure yet, not really a champagne drinker. been dieing to pop open another 2002 Match Butterdragon cabernet…

Gary,

You are a rock. I was not expecting to see you tonight.

QOD: I will be popping whatever Champagne wins the CHAMPAGNE SHOW-DOWN (or sounds the best to my taste), when you pit grower champagnes vs. big-name brands in a blind tasting (hint hint).

Have a good trip in Atlanta!

nice, i love your videos man, i’ve been checking out this and WL every single day since i discovered them about a week ago. Just bummed that the “tuesday tasting” video will not be up until thursday. I just got my 6 wines today and was hoping to do this wed. but guess it will have to wait till january (the next time i’ll have enough time to do it.). Also i wont be drinking anything this new years. I’ll be at work watching wine library tv, pissed off wishing i was off work drinking.

Love the shows Gary!

The wife and I are going big this New Years, we will be opening one of the following: ’96 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame or ’88 Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill. Mmmmmmmmmm…..

GV- nice surprise to see the episode when I got home from work, after you posted yesterday no show- thx

New Years? I’ll be drinking the Dogfish Fort, like Eric above, and the Nino Franco Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Rustico; then it depends on what we eat, probably rib eye, so maybe ’02 Torbreck The Steading or Francis Tannahill Mason Dixon Syrah

SteveR,
I always go to Mumm when I am in Napa/Sonoma and the DVX is always good- Nothing wrong with Mumm at all- And if anyone gives you crap send them my way!

Don’t no one be disin’ da Vikes, don’t ya know. It’s gonna be a battle royale dis comin’ Sunday. We may be generous and let ya have 20 yards rushin’. But den again, maybe not.

As for me, a bottle of Ms. Gloria Ferrer awaits.

I knew that Grenache was the most planted red grape in Spain (Airen being the most planted, red or white), but when did Grenache overtake Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as the most planted grape worldwide?

Great episode. I love Grenache and have it often. Mostly from Spain and Southern Rhone.

QOTD: I already have a bottle of Perrier Juet Grand Brut, which I got on sale and it has very nice packaging (metal tube) and a half bottle of Veuve Clicot as a backup.

I am still hoping to buy a grower champagne (real recoltant stuff) or a sparkler from Loire or Alsace-those I find quite nice too.

If I do get the real stuff on time, the Juet and Clicot will end up as gifts.

QOD: Orange Jubilee Mad Dog 20/20…..what else???

QOTD: After a trip to the WL, finding grower champagne recommended by The Man, my friends and I are going to have Drappier Blanc de Blanc and Billiot Brut Reserve!

We’ll be drinking, and loving, Roederer Estate-Brut-Anderson Valley. Hope your 2007 is the greatest!

Good luck today man. What do the numbers on the whiteboard stand for?
QOD: I am drinking anything that get’s me loaded.

good broadcast in Atlanta. Thanks for opening minds to the emerging areas of production and loosening people up when it comes to wine rules.
For NYE, it will be the Aubry Rose from the Thiese book in my hand at all times.

yep, bought the 6 pack and invited two other couples over for a taste along with Gary.

Guess we’ll just have to tune in to Kim Marcus….

Just kidding, we’re actually getting together on Friday to do the Vaynerchuk taste along. Don’t let us down dude!

Nice Grenache episode…
QOTD: I have family coming over and they do not favor the bubbles, so we will probably go with our favorite beer Orion. I may try to sneak in a bottle of Riesling…have to do a little shopping.

Gary,
great job in Atalanta today!

You hit your stride about midway through, and really came across well. Good to hear WLTV is going global. What is the viewership up to now?

I thought the woman was going to have a heart attack when you said that some wine smells like urinals at a carnival.

Nice episode Gary. I’ve always had Grenache…and some other grape. I’ve never had it as a stand alone, so I’m very interested to give them a try.

QOTD: ? Hmmmm ? I haven’t decided, but I was contemplating ordering a bottle of Brown Estate Zinfandel from WL. I learned about this producer years ago from an article in Wine Spectator, and have always wanted to try the Zin. You reviewed the wine in episode #25, and spoke very highly about the bottle.

Safe travels to ATL.

Yep…it WAS me. I’m the reason the Jets lost. Sorry. I picked the Bills in my football pool, cause I thought they’d win.

My fault…and then the Bears had to go and win. Sorry man…great episode though and have a safe flight. See you later. Oh ya, QOD: I don’t know. I don’t plan that far ahead. I don’t like getting wasted, so I’ll have some wine, maybe Champagne. I’ll probably do what I normally do and that’s hang out at home with my wife, or we’ll go to our friend’s house and just have a relaxing eveing. OK, see you later,

GO BEARS!!

Great episode Gary,

For New Years I am drinking:
