You’re revving up my way! Go on like that. Pity for the Ribolla: maybe an ep on Ribolla Gialla with wines from Radikon and Gravner. Really should do that. Or get a Ribolla Nera out of the cupboard, then you’re the cool guy.
QOTD: facebook.
C ya

Im gonna have to go with facebook

QOTD: truthfully WLTV Comments is the only social involvement I have on the internet otherwise I am an enormous fan of Google groups, Google chat and looking into Google Base I think it will be huge

you know what? I totally forgot about a really useful social networking site, and I’m surprised no-one else here has posted it. Its not really a social site, but it is ALL about networking: http://www.linkedin.com

Its a business oriented site, where you build up employment/business contacts. Its great for keeping in touch with old co-workers and finding new contacts.

Check it out!

Summer cut?

QOTD: I am not into the facebook, myspace, etc. Those sites = drama in my opinion. I do like linkedin.com for networking and I recently got into the social aspect of forums with WLTV. I visit many tech/programming forums daily for work, so its nice to use WLTV as a social forum.

QOTD: For me…it MySpace. I don’t have a great MySpace…space, but for the reason Stevo said. The music. It’s a great place to find music you’ll NEVER, EVER get to hear on the radio. Todays radio is SO out of touch with the public. Unreal. Oh, BTW G….. hope you don’t mind…I have the “Train your Palate” ep # 148 on my MySpace 🙂

qotd: i’m not into any of these myspace, friendster stuff. it’s like a virtual high school popularity contest. those sites are so cluttered with junk i just can’t get throught it. what i do use everyday and love it as an excellent form of communication is instant messenger. im, whether it be aol or msn or yahoo, is a great tool to keep in touch with friends and family as well as coworkers.

Great episode! I have really been getting into Italian whites lately. I was excited to see you feature a Ribolla Gialla (even though it was a bit dull). Try the La Tunella Ribolla if you ever are in the mood to attempt another try with the varietal. They also make a 50/50 blend with Tocai Friulano called Bianco Sesto. Definitely one to check out as I feel it is an amazing white for the price! Another fun Italian white that you didn’t touch on was Grechetto (a good example is Arnaldo Caprai).

QOTD: I think I might be too old for myspace, friendster, etc. I have a problem with socializing on the same networks as the students I work with!

Great episode — Definitely interested in Italian wines since we’re headed there in a few months. Last night we attended a winemaker’s dinner and really enjoyed Fattoria di Zerbina wines. Favorites were the ’04 Sangiovese Ceregio, ’03 Sangiovese Pietramora, & the ’01 Scacco Matto with dessert. Great stuff!! Hurting today, though…

By the way, nice haircut! 🙂

G-man,
nice epsiode guy. With the weather warming an italian white sounds delicious.

QOTD: facebook.

QOTD: Myspace, with a little bit of facebook, they’re changing the online social networking world.

Nice episode, Gary. You are SO RIGHT about Pinot Grigio. One of my female friends will just about ONLY drink Pinot Grigio. What a waste! As for me, I do enjoy a good Verdicchio or Arneis from time to time. I have even had a somewhat dry Frascati that worked very well with a light fish dinner with a lemon cream sauce.

QOTD: You’re joking, right? 🙂

I just recently found out about wine library and very excited to participate, an excellent program. In fact, I have spend the better part of the last two weeks watching pass episodes, it’s kind of addicting. I had to comment on the Italian whites episode for my first response since I am currently living in Venezia, the home region of Soave. A great wine that varies greatly from vineyard to producer. The other evening I drank an interesting single vineyard Soave classico from Tamellini 2002. Amazing how a white treated with proper barrique fermenting and aging can develop in over four years. The nose believe it or not was similar to concentrated Mosel riesling with notes also of a cloying Sauterne, nice acidity and not overwhelmed by oak. Althought some of my favorite garganega grape wines have been unfiltered juices from the Gambellara D.O.C, rustic and old world driven. Bringing the term “mele cotto” to a new level. Friuli is awesome, especially the whites from the Collio D.O.C., friulano, sauvignon, pinot bianco, chardonnay, ribolla gialla, pinot grigion, and even a few rieslings that I have been fortunate to find, very interesting. If you haven’t tried a white from the Collio, you must. Definitely unique bringing more minerality and complexity to the table. Anyone tried ribolla gialla from Slovenia, probably a little more difficult to locate in the states, from what I have tasted, Slovenia is an absolutely an up and coming region in the wine world. Okay, enough for now. Thanks for the show Gary! Ciao!

I love these theme driven shows and you’ve been on a streak! Yes, I wanna be on the show.

Thanks for this episode Gary. I admit that I’ve steered away from Italian whites–other than Prosecco.

QOTD: I haven’t made the Myspace of Facebook plunge yet. I probably frequent http://www.afrocentriconline.com the most.

Great great episode Gary. Thanks again for once again highlighting a lesser known wine type.

QOTD – I have a great answer, but it’s only for people with a demented sense of humor like me. 🙂

Thanks for an enlightening episode. QOTD – don’t currently use any social networking sites (other than places like WLTV forums). My kids don’t want me on Facebook – not sure why, but I may just get an account anyway…….

I learned so much today! I’ve only used Italian whites for cooking. These are what I’ll be drinking this summer for sure. Thank you.

YES! An Ep. about wines from the Mother Country (for my heritage, anyway). I truly have been thinking about trying to buy more Italian whites because it’s definitely an area about which I have little knowledge and experience. Thanks again, BIG G.

QOTD: As a college student, of course I’ve gone through the last 4 years with Facebook (although it’s now available to anyone, not just college students) and log on every day. NOT a myspace person. Yet.

Excellent coverage of a grossly underappreciated category of great wine.

Ever had a Pigato? Had my first earlier this month out in California. Yummmmmm.

Great show, as always.

And sure, I’d be happy to be on the show. 🙂

I’m a social networking maniac. Cork’d ( http://corkd.com/people/cruster ) and Flickr are both rocking!

QOTD – Digg and facebook for me.

BTW, I’m a huge fan of Diggnation and I nearly fell off my chair when they announced you were sponsoring them on their most recent vidcast (http://revision3.com/diggnation/2007-04-19). I hope the spot will send a bunch more tech guys like myself to the site. Love the show, keep it up.
