QOD….don’t have a camera

For those of you who don’t have a camera, here’s a suggestion:

1. Go to Menards. They have digital cameras on sale for less than $11 this week.
2. Install the camera as a webcam.
3. Go to youtube.com and use their quick capture feature. It will record on their site whatever shows up on your webcam.

It probably won’t be a thing of beauty, but it will work!

Gary-
You are good at dodging a question?!?
(comment #14)
You are also getting much better with the humor!
I really can see now that since the first episode, your humor is
MUCH
better!
I
LOVE
the whole white pepper in the eye thing you did today.
LOVE the episode – I always love reds.
Thanks for the education!!!
:):):):):):)
I realized after Fridays episode that part of the reason I love reds is the flavor profile. The flavor profile of white just are not my favorites. However, I do love really expensive champagne. And occasionally, some very dry whites. I do not like fruit bombs either. My flavor palate is old world. I am not sure how, since I have never even been to that part of the world. But, that is what I like. As you know, I would love it if you did 80% reds only. Alas, most of the rest of the vayniacs probably would not like that.
SUPER
episode!
🙂

Gary,

If you keep this up I might actually buy a bottle of wine and I’m afraid that’ll probably open a door I won’t be able to close. Is it possible to be a “Vayniac” without actually having drank any wine?

I think Tangaroa and I will have to serriously think about sending you an intro.

In one of the early episodes gary challenge viewers to be the first or top ten to post. I would like it modified since a comment on the episode would really require someone to have watched the episode. So how about the first to post after watching the whole episode?

QOTD: Sometime between now and when the Lions win a Superbowl.

August 19th is the date of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail Event in NY.

eat a dolphins poster on Fri. may that will give you some luck 4 the game.

Gary, awesome episode – one of the best! I love this format of tasting a wine where two critics had such a wide swing of rating. How about the next one throwing in the ’01 or ’02 Montelena where WS (Laube) scored it under 80 each time and Parker rated it 95?

Hey. This is my first comment. I just wanted to tell you Gary how much I love Wine Library TV. I’m 32 and most of my friends know nothing about wine, so I’m spreading the word and the gospel of WLTV. I haven’t disagreed yet with a wine that you loved and that I ordered. Cheers. Keep it up.

Can’t trust the ratings?!?!? Now what am I supposed to do? There are 10,000 wines out there. If I try everyone I am sure that most of the time I am going to be disappointed – along with being very drunk. While the latter isn’t too bad, I have learned that bad wine down and out stinks. Yes we all have different palate but I don’t many people will take MD 20/20 over a Kendal-Jackson.

Now I’m all worked up. What I need is a good cab. Oh wait, how can I tell? I can’t trust the ratings. ARGGH!! LOL 🙂

As bad as the fins were this past week they should rebound against the Jets. They can only rebound. They stunk as bad as the dirty sock I chewed on last night. 🙂

I’ll admit, I do look at a lot of ratings but only as a gauge of what to add to my “wish list” or “research more” or “taste if I get the chance”. I’ll now add the Robert Young and Ehlers Estate to those lists (if I can find them around here for a decent price…ahem! – MI/IN).

I’ll send you a intro movie when….I have some time! 🙂

Loved the line “Honey, tastes like red wine to me” LOL. Keep up the good work Gary. Too bad it is next to impossible (i.e. without paying twice face value in duty and taxes) to import wine into British Columbia (Canada, for you “Honey, tastes like red wine to me” people) as a consumer.

Gary … Interesting episode. Wine ratings are like movie reviews, find a reviewer that you agree with more than not and seek out the wines (or movies) that they enjoy the most. Simple enough.

Also, episode #145 promised a free “Vayniac” t-shirt to a lurker … was wondering if anyone qualified (hint – me me me). If not, I’ll have to buy a couple.

Funny that this episode really mirrored a hot discussion going on in the forums today. Way to keep your finger on the pulse of the wine community! As to the QOD – The spirit is willing . . .

Spectator and Enthusiast don’t agree?! Hah…Vaynerchuck and myself don’t agree either, who said subjectivity wasn’t improtant?!
We both live in New York, we both love wine, one of us loves a team w/ asparagus colored uniforms…hmmmm, watch out- those stinky fish are going to penetrate your palate harder than you think! The Giants will be the only under 500 team to win the super bowl baby! Bring it on Pennington, don’t let that paper arm fall off!

Wine Enthusiast rates wine? Who knew? 😉

Don’t get too excited about Christmas night. The Dolphins O sucks this year (as it does most years), but I need the free shipping, so I’m confident they’ll come through for me. You have Hannukah to keep you happy anyway.

GV and all, Ehlers donates all their profit for cardiac research- I write about their winery in the forum- Hence the heart in the E on logo- You can feel good about buying this wine

Video is coming as soon as I figure out my new Hi Def Video camcorder

GV, I’m a Vayniac now not a lurker. I’ll send in a video soon. I love wine again! I’ll even try some white wine! what the heck!

Damn and I bought a couple bottles of the 2002 Mt. Eden based on the Wine Enthusiast write up… Hope my palate matches up with theirs

Awesome episode! Go Eagles!

Awesome episode. You’ve made me thirsty!

Gary, this episode gets my hyped! I love it…..you are the man! it gets me thinking and that is the best part of your show!
I will get my son’s toy dolphin ans start pricking it like a vodoo doll for the Jets next game.

Another great episode, nice topic “ripped from the headlines” (the WLTV forum, sorry, I watch a little too much Law and Order). QOTD- when I get my new video recorder (soon).
