Great episode. My wife & I enjoyed sparkling shiraz during our trip to Australia last summer. Fortunate enough to have Rockford’s (GREAT) and Peter Lehmann’s Black Queen. Not much to much to choose from here in the Pacific Northwest. Fox Creek Vixen is okay; Rumball is not to my taste.

I am definitely going to have to try out that Majella, I’ve never tried a sparkling wine before and I really should. By the way thanks a lot for the mention Gary.

Chris, I need your update on your spreadsheet. Great show today my man.

QOD…This time of year it is the Kentucky Derby.

QOD…may sound predictable, but currently is winelibrary tv!
Were the sparkling wines also left open for 3-4hrs???

Syrah is over-rated. Tensley Colson Canyon is what I have in mind. Tried it 3 times, and was turned off the more I drank it.

QOD: My thing is value wine.

Wow syrah/shiraz! I love syrah! Great show.
How about a new show on Rhone syrah?
Ever think about a trip the Rhone??

Hey, thanks for my official Vayniac wristband!

QOTD – My things include: my family, my work as an orthopedic surgeon, as well as skiing, golf, the Packers, the Yankees, and of course … wine! That includes WLTV and being a part of the Vayniac nation!!!

Great Episode! QOTD: My Thing…hmmm…my garden…wish it would warm up so I could start planting!…Oh yeah and cycling with my girls!

Lurker coming public…
QOTD: Sports in high-def. Who would have thought TV could change my life???

My wife and I bought several cases of Tualatin semi-sparkling muscat from Oregon which still blows our minds. Bubbles now fade quickly on 6 year old wine but the memories live on. And some bottles still sing to you. We ended going up there for our 1st wedding anniversary and seeing where it came from. Keep up the good work.

I loved the Tensley Colson Syrah. To each his own…
Try the Garretson Aisling!!!

QOTD: My thing has been collecting, understanding and drinking fine tea from around the world. I also have a large collection of fruit trees which includes one of the largest collections of different figs in the USA.

It’s nice to see your enthusiams Gary, although I am not a big shiraz fan.
My thing? The new casio watch that I bought, which has tons of function that I will never use, but it is nice to have them!

QOTD: Used to be self-exploration, expanding my mind yada yada yada, lately its all about pleasure and “sucking out life’s juicy plumb.” (if any one knows who that quote is from I’d marry you.)

Thanks that was fun. Made me kinda thirsty.

QOTD-Segway Personal Transporters. I think I have to buy one.

Congrats to Zach Johnson; he deserves it!
QOTD: Filling my cellar; driving my 1964 Mercedes 230 sl and touring on my BMW r1200rt around Southwest Wisconsin.

Sparkling syrah??? I had no idea!!!

Nice GV

Sparkling Shiraz,,,, may be a way for my wife to start drinking red??? Thanks.
QOTD: WLTV,, not sure that’s a good thing?

Yeowch! WHAT is going on over there? Light blue and purple stripes?! A watch AND a wristband!? You’re like a wine-colored version of Mork! And who doesn’t love Mork?

Different! Wild! Just like sparkling shiraz.

QOTD: SF Symphony. And my wristband. And the tape on the envelope it came in.

Hey, Gary, as always, great episode. Not sure I would have paired Shiraz with ‘sparkling’, but there you go. QOD: WLTV, absolutely. AND…my baby girl is off to ASU in August. We’re doing the ‘college orientation’ thing, and the ‘daughter-off-to-college-soon’ thing, so I’m grabbing every free moment I can with her. So, I guess, my baby girl is ‘my thing’…

Gary, QOD: My thing these days is rockin the really short hair, a beard, and going to Washington Nationals games, even though they havn’t been doin that great, They won their 1st game so far against the Marlins on my 24th birthday last Wednesday April 4th and that was an amazing day, 7-6 after an RBI in the bottom of the 9th, so awesome!!! My other things are playing Vollyball, Bad Movie Nights, and the Virginia Wine Festival June 2nd and 3rd. I cant wait! Saturday at Wegmans wine shop are also very satisfying because I love to educate all my customers that come in on that busy day about the world of wine. Life is good. Keep on rockin Gary!
