Top Ten!! What do I win?

Waiting for the snow here..

..more wine lessons. Kewl.

Top 10! Oh, and I LOVE GV!! The wine AND the guy!

Great to see some Austrian wines tasted here! Something I’ve not had the opportunity to experience as of yet, but I’m very excited to do so! Now I’ll watch the episode!!!!! Not that I car, but it’s nice to be top 10 when I usually don’t make top 100!

New watch Gary?? What is it?

Top 10?

Wow!!! Really early.

Of course Gary would like a wine with initials GV. GV is usually good value and comes in 1 liter size. I drink a bit of in summer.

austria – thats a new one

Well, I don’t know if I qualify as a lurker, but I would appreciate some consistent sound advice on wine. So, if anyone with a lot of wine knowledge would like to share some, or pass it on, that would be great.

Another good show Gary. I always enjoy learning about wines that are not yet mainstream in the US.

Some of the funniest post-taste wine commentary yet. Loved the Oz analogy!

QOTD:

I hate tennis.

Good Stuff!

QOTD: John Stimpson

QOTD: Sampras. Grew up watching him go for Wimbledon over and over.

Steffi Graf.

Steffi Graf.

Top 20 is so lame…
Agassi

QOTD: Yay! tennis kicks footballs ass! Grew up watching McEnroe and Conners rivelry, most entertaining. Sexiest tennis players would have to be…Yannick Noah and Gabriela Sabatini. Best hair goes to Bjorn Borg, I miss the long hair and headband days.

Great episode.

I love GruV. It was my introduction to real wine while studying in Austria 30 years ago. Most of what I drank was poured from gallon jugs by bartenders, but all of it was more enchanting than the wine I had tasted at home.

A great pairing Gary didn’t mention is the classic–Wiener Schnitzel with a crisp GruV. Squeeze a little lemon over this thin, breaded cutlet, and sip a little crisp Veltliner. You have a perfect match. Even a sharp finishing wine, such as the last one, works.

Enjoyed the episode. I have had these wines sev times with sushi although I can’t recall the names, but they were an excellent match
QOD- Jimmy Connor no doubt. Never forget his run at the US open in his later years and a great entertainer on the court. Also he is left-handed like me!

Take the show on the road!

QOTD: I didn’t have one, but since I have to choose and in consideration of today’s show, I choose Thomas Muster. Not ONLY an Austrian tennis player (mid 90’s) but also a wine maker in…….Austria. His brand is “Tom’s Wine” -> http://www.toms-wine.at/
Yes siree Bob, I score high on today’s QOTD relevance quotient.
