Hey Gary….
(1) Welcome Back!
(2) What is going on for Aug 30?
(3) QotD – Well Cartesian Skepticism tells us that perception cannot be reality because it is based upon empiricism….where as metaphysics talks about reality and universals in a completely different matter…ah it’s too early to be tackling the question of “what is real?” Besides the little Hedonist on my lef shoulder is telling me not to question “what is life,” but rather, “what is the good life?” and “how much cheese and wine do it I need to consume to achieve it?”

Perception: That we’d only have about 10 people at the WLTV Chicago Party.
Reality: We’ve got over 75 people signed up.

Gary V…..Sancerre-ly great to have you back! Sorry, had to do it.

Great to have you back in town and in form, Gary!

I think we are all looking forward to more Bordeaux insight.

Gary, great having ya back !! We missed you alot !
Whose your favorite Sancerre producers ??

QOTD: When I was a “young” kid, I thought as ALL
people get older they become more ethical, honest,
civil, etc. As an “old” kid, I find that is not
always the case.

Looking forward to your Bordeaux findings !!
Keep up the Super Work !!

comment 104….just building it up baby!

Welcome back Gary! A lurker no more…I had no idea I was making you that angry. Oddly enough last night we had a Sancerre purchased from WL and how refreshing(considering 99.76502% of our wines are red) it was!
QOTD: That my butt is small from a side glance.

Yeay…new episodes.

Welcome back, GV.

QOTD: It always does look much bigger in the mirror, doesn’t it?

Welcome back. Its sucked not having new episodes to watch while eating my lunch at work.

QOTD – Becoming an adult, when I was in college and right after I thought that was the time of my life (and it was awesome) but having a wife and a baby and enjoying fine wine not chugging cheap beer is much more rewarding.

Welcome back Gary! Looking forward to seeing some more Bordeaux video’s 🙂

156 days until my Birthday. Gary, thanks for remembering!

Please don’t let this be my answer for the QOTD 🙂

Finally some one is sincere about Sancerre…haha sorry couldn’t help myself.

Gary, Welcome home! Great move on the Sancerre’s rather than the Bordeaux.Can hardly wait to see the scenes from the trip. Mahvelous to see you animated and descriptive!
QOTD: Seattle. Ended up having a beautiful 9 days instead of the expected showers and gloom. This was in July.

WE WANT BORDEAUX…..WE WANT BORDEAUX……WE WANT BORDEAUX;)……..

Welcome back Gary! Can’t wait to see the bordeaux!

Saw you on a show on INHD (mojo) the other night tasting wines and guessing their prices- was pretty funny! What was that last wine you said was so great??? They never showed a good closeup!

QOTD: That a 5’10” kid from the sticks of Minnesota would dunk someday and be a basketball stud. Story probably sounds familiar to some (subtract Minnesota…insert Jersey…).

Gary, great epsiode on Sancerre. Iâ??m pretty much an NZ guy when it comes to SB. It has been awhile since Iâ??ve had Sancerre so I think Iâ??ll have to try some more.
QOTD: My perception is that it is going to get very warm soon. Hopefully, that will not be reality since I will not buy mail-order wine again until the fall when it cools down again and Iâ??d really like to make another purchase from WL before summer. Also, I spent 7 days in Napa Valley last April at my uncleâ??s place. My perception was that it would be like every other time Iâ??ve been to Napa in the spring; blue skies, wonderful weather, spring flowers, spending a day drinking great wine at David Arthur Vineyards. What was the reality? It rained EVERY DAY and was cold!! Hope you had fun in Bordeaux. Thanks.

by the way, what was the bottle with your pic on it?

Gary I am from denver and how can you hate elway. that is all

Gary,glad to have you back.Hope the French treated you well! Great Sancerre episode but you may know that there are 6 other Sauvignon blancs AOCs in the Loire valley, which I think, will be worth visiting(great values in Touraine) – Fred

Couldn’t agree more about undiscovered low priced Bordeaux losing out to the old vines. Even here in the UK there is that misconception that Bordeaux is only for the rich. I’m also intrigued by the bottle with your picture on it… ?

Qotd: That “lady” I tried to pick up last night at…aaah forget it.

Welcome back. Sancerres always bring me back to them. Wish just one California Sauvignon Blanc even attempted it. Love the shellfish and grassy/olive/herbal component to a good one. Can’t tell that you had a great time from the clip but I’m sure they will be more. You do look reinvigorated so the trip must have been great. Not sure I’ve every tasted more than 250 wines in a week so I don’t know how you can keep 2500 straight in your head. Perception and reality are always the same. Your only reality is what you perceive.
