Great episode from what is now the archives! Was reviewing the GV list and had to see what you rated 99+. I would love to get my hands on some of the cheese and totally that wine in a few more years!!!

  • I had this at a wine tasting last weekend (along with 98-05 Le Gay). Problem was that, as is common at wine tastings, they did a pop and pour. This wine was so tannic and so dry that it was like dust. I wish I could have had a chance to taste this after a few hours. I’ll probably now never get a chance to taste this wine due to it’s price.

    Thanks Gary

    Winelibrary.com is my best bargain. Entertainment, great wine tips, ability to purchase desired wines immediately at a very fair price, opportunity to refine my palate and compare my perceptions with Gary, at any time of the day at my convenience, for no charge. How cool is that?

    It’s felt like Friday as of Monday, so your couch-time seems appropriate! Nice!

    As for the previous and now infamous sibling comment, that’s what makes “Live TV” all the livelier. No apologies needed – you probably had some folks in West Virginia on your side (joking here – please no angry posts from any kind people from WV…).

    I’m from WI, so gotta love the cheese theme here.

  • It’s about time you enjoyed your wine like a man and didn’t spit!! Plus, the finish is always better if you don’t spit. $250 on futures, eh? I guess I’ll have to wait until we have one at a tasting here.

    So, QOD: I went to a thrift store in a small town called Cresco, Iowa and got a 100% Camel Hair winter jacket–with absolutely no problems and was the perfect size to wear with my suit for a grand total of $4.00. Yes…FOUR dollars. Freakin’ rad.

    OK, see you later,
    GO BEARS!!

    I earlier said best bargain better be the 2 cases of ’05 Bordeaux I purchased from WLTV, make that 3 cases.

    Other great bargains: Anything you can purchase from a big-city barber. Don’t know where they find these deals, but don’t care to ask or want to really know. Jewelery, watches, cameras and season tickets and while you’re at it take a little off the top of the ears.

    Ciao

    GV, Did you say, “and I’m talkin’ ASS-stinky cheese.”? You’re F-ing NUTS.

    I saw 2 different shows recently that highlighted a great cheese producer up in Vernon, NJ called “Bobolink Dairy” (also some awesome breads).

    Ever heard of them? Does WL ever carry cheeses from them?

    Be sure to tell us (on an Episode) what you did with the rest of the wine…did you share? with whom?

  • Matthew L

    I LOVE cheese Gary, so episodes including that creamy goodness is always appreciated. I like stinky cheese, too, but I don’t know if I would go so far as enjoying “ass stinky cheese.” 😀

    Gary…the weight lifting program must be going pretty well because I see you only had about two buttons fastened on your shirt and were flashing your chest through the whole show. (lol)

    QOTD: My wife calls me frugal Fred and I’m always in pursuit of a bargain. One of my more recent bargain finds was a camera package including a Nikon N80 body, three Nikon lenses, a teleconverter, 4 filters, two photography books, 27 rolls of film and 3 sets of batteries for $200. The whole package was worth well over a grand.

    QOD. I don’t know about the best deal but I can tell you the worst. This time last year I was living in Texas, having enjoyed the 60 degree winter. I got accepted to grad school at Rutgers with a nice fellowship. Seemed like a great deal at the time but come February I was sitting in snow, sleet, and every other kind of miserable cold in the world.

    Gary,

    I’ve been meaning to tell you this…try Red Yeast Rice for the cholesterol issue. You can find it at any vitamin shop or even costco.com. It works wonders and is an all natural alternative to the drugs. My doctor put me on it after my thyroid issue and it dropped my levels from 240 to 178 in about 6 weeks. Now I take two a day and I eat all the cheese I want…need to in my line of work.

    Give it a try…’cause cheese is sooooo good with wine!!

    I’m behind in the episodes, but keep ’em coming…they are so informative and entertaining!!
