2nd 🙁

Pats rule!!!!!

Pats rule!!!!!

Go Gary Go

Nice beard

That 2006 SurDe Los Andes is great.

I got it from my wine club I belong to.

Nice episode…AGAIN. I can affirmatively say that I’ve never had a Torrontes, but I would like to check one out with some spicy Indian or Thai food.

QOTD: Torn between Truman, Kennedy and Clinton.

Great Episode

short and sweet.

Thanks Gary

Top ten! Two episodes in a row that I’ve never tried. Looking forward to trying a wine from Cahors. Favorite president is probably Abe Lincoln

Top 10? I can’t belive it

I’ve never had a Torrantes or Cahors but looking forward to trying both at some point.
QOD-Abe Lincoln is my favorite-hands down (We share a birthdate 2/12!)
Let’s leave nothing to chance this weekend. Gary’s beard and the Vaynershirt…..the winning combo! Let’s see it VaynerNation!! Let’s show Gary & the Jets some VaynerLove & support:-) Is there enough room on the bandwagon for all of us Gary?

I never had either the Cahors or the Torrantes.
I would vote for JFK as favorite Pres.

Great Ep Gary. I’m going to try there wines.

That was a funny “pumping gas” reference. For those who don’t know, NJ is one of the only (if not THE only) state in the US where they don’t let you pump your own gas. Very frustrating when you’re in a hurry and have to wait for an attendant. Not to mention it makes it harder to pay-at-the-pump.

QOD: Can’t really say I have a favorite. But if I had to pick one I’d go with Reagan who was President during my HS years and part of my college years

Really nice to see back to back episodes of, to many of us, unfamiliar wines. The education just keeps on rolling–thanx. QOTD–historically T.R., recently Clinton.

Nice, now I am dying to try some Cahors and Torrontes (haven’t had either).

QOD: Ford was Pres when I was born (76) but my recent answer would be Clinton.

Hey Gary,

Never had a Torrentes wine.

Favorite President? Man that’s tough. Definitely not “W”. I’d have to say Reagan.

Interesting episode. Sorry, but for me, petro and wine do not go well together. Any petro character on the nose or palate earns the wine a big PAZZZZZ! And we in OR are also happy NOT to have gas on our hands when filling up.

QOD? Give ’em hell Harry is my fav.

Little Late but worth the wait!

Great episode Gary…As a Chef I like that you mention food that goes good with the wine youâ??re tasting. I’m going to pick a bottle of Torrentes on the way home tonight (Yes, I watch you at work). QOD: Teddy Roosevelt… How could you not like a guy who once said that we should walk softly and carry a big stick. It’s almost as good as “You with a little bit of me are changing the wine world.”

+CHEF

No question – Teddy Roosevelt – “Speak softly and carry a big stick”, “You can kill a moose, but you can’t kill a bull moose”, etc. He was a renaissance man – talented at most everything he put his hand to, which was just about everything. He was a larger-than-life personality, had strong convictions, and one heck of a toothed-mouth smile.

I really like the last two episodes – giving us great previews of wines to watch (and I would throw in Cava as the third example of this). Believe it or not, I can even get Torrontes in my local Wine & Spirits store here in backwards PA (I am heading over right now!).

Ronald Reagan was the best president of my lifetime by far!!!

Glad to have you back, Gary.
(QOD: Millard Fillmore, of course – is there anyone else?)

At long last I can say thank you —
THANK YOU FOR THE FREE VAYNIAC T-SHIRT!!!
YES!! YES!! IT’S HERE!! AND IT’S MINE!!!

Picture the scene: I dragged myself home last night, as one does on a day with no new episode, feeling abandoned, depressed, and alone in the world. Then I got to my porch and saw – a FedEx’d box from New Jersey, my home state! I raced inside, thinking “The Gary may taketh away — but the Gary also giveth!!”

I tore open the box — and there it was, in all its 2XL, Black & White, Green & Grape glory — my very own FREE VAYNIAC T-SHIRT!!! I immediately put it on over my clothes and ran to the mirror – and there I was — an official VAYNIAC!

Why a freebie, for those who don’t know? Several weeks ago, I answered Gary’s question “How did you learn about WineLibrary TV?” And Presto! I won a T-Shirt – which makes me living proof that you don’t need to know anything about wines or football in order to become — a VAYNIAC!!

Again, thank you so much.
Thank you, Lars.
Thank you, Gary.

To paraphrase William Wallace in “Braveheart” —
“They may take my life,
But they’ll never take…
MY FREESHIRT!!!”

Great episode — had Torrontes at a restaurant in Atlanta (home for me) and felt the same way — tons of potential, but not perfect yet.

QOTD — FDR

Gary– Interesting branching out. I tried the 2006 Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontes recommended by a local wine retailer and costing about $12. My notes say “ordinary white wine. No crisp acidity to liven it up. Not a trace of the varietal-specific nose-palate of tangerine or nectarine… fair and clean, 82 pts.”

Favorite/best president in my lifetime? Ronald Reagan. President living or dead with whom I would like to have dinner (and a glass of wine of course)? Thomas Jefferson.
