Great to see Italian whites getting some air time! How about some free shipping Italiwhites? Too greedy, aren’t I?

Answer of the day – I like the Wine Spectator forums, personally. I’m too old for myspace.

QOTD: friendster for a minute till it got boring.

Kahuna you’re killing me! I think Adult Friend Finder would be a bit more than social “networking” hahaha!!

QOTD: TagWorld baby!

QOTD: Real life. although I’ve been known to check facebook once in a blue moon. Flickr is kickr too.

I’m ready for the summer whites – just need the summer.

QOD: social networking sites are over-rated! myspace is too commercial now (not like I ever used it to begin with) Flickr is probably the only actually useful one.

Have a great time in Chi-Town for everyone that’s going to the 1st official WLTV party… set the standard for the rest of us.

– I’m assuming there will be no ep tomorrow since GV will be in transit –

Italian whites that aren’t Pinot Grigio. What a wonderful idea for an episode!

I’m assuming that letting these get any less young and fresh isn’t going to do much for them.

QOD: I just don’t get myspace. It looks like remedial HTML. Feh! If I wanted a personal website, I’d make one.

Good episode. I have just recently started to drink white wine…and will definately try these.
and..
The hair is much better short!! 😉

What do you think of Arneis? I like them, but feel they are a bit overpriced … always surprised that they are up in the $19-$23 range…

QOTD: Don’t use them.

QOTD – I love myspace. My myspace profile has photos of winery tours and my ‘Wine and Stories from the Vineyard’ blog, with winery reviews, book reviews, and a blog about my favorite WineLibraryTv episodes!
Do you have a Myspace page for WineLibrary? I would add you to my friends list!

saw your corkd page.. so what about setting up something like that for WLTV? I always thought you guys should build your own social networking site: custom designed, integrated into the SS.. cellar tracking and rating system.

corkd is probably as good a site as there is out there atm, but its rating system sucks and it’s not WLTV!

hey kelly balthazar is down in soho area, I think spring street. Its real big and noisy. I’ve only had drinks there. Don’t really know about the food.

GREAT episode, look forward to these when I head to Italy in July. QOTD: gotta be facebook, i mean c’mon, i’m a college kid!

Corkd is nice. The only thing is it can be a bit of chaos with the wine “names”, people trash the labels and such.
I have actually been using BottleTalk myself. http://www.bottletalk.com/wine/profile/raykrueger
It seems to be a relatively small community right now though. They’ve got a great little feature where you can pull an rss feed from people’s profiles. So down on the right side of my blog there’s a little widget that shows my 5 most recent entries at bottletalk. A nice little feature.

“its a party in your nose.” that sounds like a lot of people i used to hang out with back in the day.

QOD: Yelp!

Nice,Nice,Nice. Anything Italian is great for me. QOTD Myspace and Youtube still doin it for me right now, but looking for better.

Gary – Great episode on something I know little about, although I liked that Arneis you did a while ago. As far as the Ribolla goes, have you had any others from the WL inventory? Or how about the Refoscos?

QOTD- need I say? WLTV, of course!

Fantastic episode–a great category, and long overdue IMO. With this and last week’s Languedoc/VdP episode you’re finally shining a spotlight on the sorts of wines I love to drink–honest, well-priced, interesting, place-driven wines that are perfect for everyday drinking, often good enough for a little more, totally great food wines, but that people need a bit of education about because all they know is Bordeaux/Burgundy/Rhone/Champagne in France, and Barolo/Chianti/Super-T/Pinot Grigio in Italy, and all of these tiny confusing appellations, and obscure varietals (especially in Italy) are just darn hard to keep track of and have a sense of what you’re buying. Lucky for me I’m exposed to tons of these sorts of wines because they litter the by-the-glass lists at serious mid-priced NY restaurants, and I happen to live across the street from a great Italian wine bar. But more education, and more context, is great.

And you even pronounced everything (nearly) correctly!!! I was totally braced for “Vare-da-CHEE-uh” or whatever. Amazing stuff.

Next time maybe throw a Fiano in there–a grape that’s just getting on my radar but I’ve had some really interesting and distinctive examples–and if you need an awesome, polished Ribolla, I’m really interested to see what you think of Movia’s (NOT inexpensive, though. and even not technically fully Italian, which is fun). And just, more of these sorts of wines. From France, Chinon, Cahors, Loire Chenin Blancs, VdP everything; from Italy, you’ve barely hit even the obvious stuff like Barbera, Nero d’Avola, Aglianico for crying out loud, much less the obscure stuff.

More!

I want to be on the show!

132 Yes! I wanna be on the show!
How does that work Gary?
