I know this depends on your computer setup and blah, blah, blah, but if I see the word “Buffering” or a percentage one more time, I’m going to smash something. What ever happened to the technology that allowed you to be patient let the whole thing get cached so you didn’t have to start from 0% every time you hit “play”?

QOTD: My THING is… tryin to figure out how to win your contest 🙂
I want it so baaaaaaaaaaaad!!! I think I will be filming tomorrow… stay tuned.
Also, my other THING is I’m going to Vegas on the 20th for the SECOND time ever and I am planning to really whoop it up. (Yeah, that’s right, I said WHOOP.) My THIRD THING is this Asian tuna salad that this girl at my shop makes; it is awesome, in a sandwich or by itself. I can’t get enough. ALSO my THING is, always, forever and ever, the 80’s cover band The Spazmatics, every Thursday night at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, CA. They are just too much fun. Yes, that is actually my #1 thing, for about a year now. The only thing I love equally is wine. 🙂 And the wisdom of Vaynerchuk…….

I’ll try anything. Garretson Aisling? It’s not a 15% ethanol fruit bomb, is it?

Garretson Aisling? Good luck remembering your name tomorrow.

QOTD:
A: Turkey sandwich on a hoagie with tomato and spinach. Usually am eating one while watching WLTV, even though the hoagie lately is replaced with matza.
B: Weight lifting. Creatine does amazing things if you don’t mind peeing every hour.
C: Scrubs.

my wrists are cold

QOTD: Baseball Season! Go Devil Rays!

The consensus opinion, with sparkling shiraz, is that you get what you pay for. But, at $28 a bottle, I doubt that I would buy the Majella sparkling shiraz.

We drank the Black Chook with Thanksgiving dinner, and found it very enjoyable. It definitely was NOT ‘crappo’. I have also had the more expensive Fox Creek ‘Vixen’, and the less expensive Hardys Sparkling Shiraz. The Black Chook was easily the best of the three.

My thing is to get BUFF! Lifting weights again. Got railroaded this winter and put on insane poundage. So I’m a gym rat. Now if I could just stop drinking all this wine and eating all this cheese…

PS – Those sparkling shiraz-es look like Welch’s Grape Juice. 🙂

MY THING: Large Format of course…. Cant get enough of it. $$$$-IT HAS BEEN BAD LATELY-$$$$

I’ve been meaning to taste a sparkling shiraz for some time now.

QOTD: My “thing” lately has honestly been wine, I can’t learn enough quick enough.

Test.

Actually, I really like Gary’s shirt. The wristband and the watch though… Well, to each his own.

Great show, Gary. Thanks for tasting those sparkling Shiraz wines. I had a friend ask me about getting those the other week, and I honestly had no clue about where to look. Now I do.

Will you guys be getting more of the Majella, by the way?

QOTD: My ‘thing’? I’ve got 3 ‘things’ right now (not necessarily in this order):

1.) wines produced on the Saar and Mosel;
2.) the cute little Army Sargent girl who lives down the street from me, and
3.) the baseball season: Go Cocks! Go Yanks!

Hey Gary….awesome, sparkling red!

We first learned about sparkling red on an Australian visit about 5 years ago. People there seemed to drink sparkling wines much more frequently – which was nice – especially when you include reds

Funny story I had to share – seems like most people still don’t know about sparkling reds, and the proof of that was a new years party we had a couple years ago. Our good friend Chuck showed up from a wedding, so wearing a nice tux. When midnight rolled around, he grabbed the nearest bottle, shook it up, and popped the cork.

Needless to say, he didn’t know it was a red! One ruined tux, and lots of laughs were had 😉

FANTASTIC Ep, Big G. Sparkling reds needed to be done. I’m thinking about mentioning this to the operations manager at the desserterie at which I work because there may be a place for sparkling shiraz on our menu (we offer a REDICULOUS selectoin of dessert wines, Ports, and sparklers, and this could be an interesting addition.)

ALSO- thank you so much for answering the doc. film email- I figured I would thank you here instead of stuffing your email inbox with another message.

QOTD: Well, lately my thing is… writing a spec. script for a sitcom- yep, a full 50 page episode script of “How I Met Your Mother.” Partially by choice, partially because it is the HUGE final assignment for my Writing for TV class…and it’s taking a bit of time away from my wine appreciation.

Love Syrah and shiraz , Have to try a sparkler now . Great ep Gman . Qotd Wine and WLTV of course !!!

Nice to see a good sparkling shiraz in the mix….I have only had 2 while I was in the Hunter Valley and they were CRAP with a capital P!
QOTD – Raptors….Raptors man. They are killin people. They demoed Chicago on Sunday, showed their fight last night against Minnesota and Garnett. THey rule….simply they rule.

Dave

QOTD: Getting ready for a Sonoma/Napa vacation next month.

Question: At what temperature should those sparkling shiraz should be drank? From the Ep looks like room temp, but, can it be cooler?

BTW Good Ep, I’ve been wondering about sparkling shiraz for a while, never had them.

Gary-
My newphew, Mark
INSISTED on watching you
this morning, Gary.
He knows your name.
He chanted
your name when he saw me
going to the
WLTV Web Site!!!!!
You have a BIG fan!!!!!
🙂

Very nice episode. I had no idea about sparkling shiraz, and now the Majella Spakling Shiraz is on my shopping list. Maybe the Carina Cellars Seven Percent also. QOTD: several things: Concepción. It’s nice to be in love again, and she’s always by my side. My motorcycle: had a nice ride over easter weekend, not just a ride, a trip. Wines: deep into them, enjoying them and appreciating them one by one, slowly. I’m starting to get into the aura or mood of the Santiago de Compostela path, researching and reading about it, to bicycle it with Concepción in 2009 (in two years).

I’m working on a video for the contest. Will probably upload today.

Gary just figured out Blues Clues.
