QOTD – Epsiode #218 – Ugly Label Wines

Gary, I’ve asked you before-how about an episode on CA Petite Sirah?

QOTD tag team best of the world event, America and Argentina, vs. South Africa and austrailia, vs. France and Italy, no holds bar battle royal. best of the best.

Wiff-Wiff?

I just created an account for Papa Lars today. He bought a case of San Filipe. Wiff-Wiff…

QOTD: Love Chilean and Argentinian bargains.

Gary, I would love to see you try some nice 2005 Pinot’s. Maybe some run the gammit from Santa Rita Hills all the way up to Oregon. Grab a Sea Smoke, Siduri, Patz & Hall and a Kosta Brown, let us know how the 05’s are doing. Or, do a Cali Cabernet 2004 tasting, let us know your thoughts on that wonderful vintage. Maybe go from a $20 bottle to a high end guy (or gal) like a Caymus or Piña, something 92+ WS. That’d be rad. Or even better, show us MORE footage of your Bordeaux trip and do some barrel tastings!!!!!!! I liiiike, veery niiiiice (BORAT).

Third time is the charm, able to view another great episode. I like the topic today of very affordable wines.
QOTD- Grenache! I have been drinking alot of grenache and grenache blends in the last month or so, I would like to know more, or you could just suggest some and I will probably end up ordering them.

How about an episode on wine from Spain, I am not sure if they make white wine too but that would be interesting. I would like to break into Spanish wine but don’t know a lot about it so that would be nice. I will not be heart broken though if you do it on other stuff though. This was a great episode, it was rainy out and it was nice to curl up to the computer and watch another great wltv show.

QOTD: Its gotta be the big berry jam fest with a medley of syrah fruit bombs

Hey Gary-

Love the energy…love the analogies…wasn’t really feeling the wines…just wasn’t too excited about them.

QotD –
1. Spanish Tempranillo OR
2. Canadian Ice Wines OR
3. Portugese Adriano OR
4. Wines from India OR
5. Wines from Asia

WHAT?????
Allright maybe this is a case of bottle variance, but I could not disagree with you more on the Sunday Mountain S.Blanc. I tasted this as it was making its first entrance into the North Carolina market, my experience was over the top acidity with a full on load of urine. I’d like to say maybe it was corked but that’s a little difficult, unless Stelvin himself was involved. Anyway its a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

QOTD:Spectator’s Critics Darlings Pinot Noir:Kosta Browne,Siduri, Chasseur,and Shea. Come on G-Man you know you wanna. Let’s do in the hype together. Have us all ask ourselves is it worth it?

Why not try some mead tomorrow because you like honey so much.

QOTD: How about a vertical tasting?

Maybe something that has really varied weather each year, or the first few years of a winery that’s just starting to “learn the ropes” or “find its niche”?

QOTD: Since this will only be the third time I ask, try the 4 YARRA YERING wines!!!!!!!!!! Thanks GV!

QOTD:

How about sweet wines other than sauternes and vintage port? Maybe a sticky from Australia, a Quarts de Chaume, a colheita, and a vin santo?

okay, two comments in a week,something must be wrong (or it was the personal email from Mr. V himself).

my idea for a show this week, value Brunello. Sure, it is relatively easy to find great BdM in the $50-60/bottle range. How about $20-40/bottle? Is that possible?

Gary, now that would be a great, value added show.

QOTD: I second the dornfelder episode suggestion!
I love learning about little-known grapes. Because you can be assured that I know next to nothing about them. The only reason I’ve even heard of Dornfelder was from the WL website. . .
Maybe you could call it a Wine Geek episode. Maybe get a fellow wine geek to cohost.. . .?

I subscribe through iTunes and am having a problem also. The file SAYS Episode 217 Gary Vaynerchuk’s Best Deals Going, but when I play it, it’s actually Episode 213. I’ll try watching through Viddler instead.

hmm, for some reason, iTunes is downloading ep214 instead of today’s.

QOTD: Greek wines. I dare you to find a good one, cuz I sure haven’t.

Thanks for the budget buy suggestions!

how about and episode on beaujolais. i’m not a big gamay fan but i’ve heard some folks talking about the 05′ vintage. i would also love to see an episode on some of the dry reds and whites coming from portugal.

Another Top 100. Enjoyed the episode, but must say I haven’t done well with GV’s selections of recommended under 10$ wines. Batting about 250. So reluctant to try any of these — but I probably will.

QOTD: I second the idea of a South African tasting. Get some nice minerally Sauv Blanc and Pinotage (which I don’t think Gary has reviewed before).

OR, how about an entire episode devoted to dessert wines like Sherry?

Another great episode. Thanks as always for bringing value to the table with a diverse and interesting group of wines!

QOD: I’d love to see you taste some of the obscure-varietal wines that Tom Ciocco has covered on the WL Terroir blog recently: Godello, Ribolla Gialla, Baga, Chasselas, Fer Servadou, Blaufrankisch, and Marzemino. He even has links to them in the WL store on each post, so I know you’ve got ’em:)

First off, I didn’t have any problems viewing the show, second- great episode! It’s always nice to hear respectable wine connoisseurs showing appreciation and sharing their views on the good $10 bottles.

QOTD: I’d say either go with the South Africa episode (I’m partial to anything African as Kenya is my home) or else, perhaps an episode on how to do/plan/make/layout a home wine cellar (that is, if you haven’t done an episode like that yet).

And yes I feel poised and controlled.
