Gary,
I love pairing white wine with Italian red-sauce based food. I’ll have to try the gewertz the next time I have pasta. Thanks for the tip!
QOD – technology is a double edged sword! It’s great to have access to all the info but the part that scares me is who else has access to all that info.

QOTD: What scares me is Randy’s thorough knowledge of Twitter. Gotta be an IT guy.

Ciao

You guys are TOO MUCH — and I LOVE IT!!
I’m hard at work, see, in Beautiful Downtown Burbank, where it’s just 3:00 PM.
As soon as I can, I’ll actually watch the episode!

Thanks again – your BV entries left me ROTFLMAO!!!

QOTD: This morning I saw the entire side of a building in Soho-ish (don’t quite remember exactly where) advertising Grand Theft Auto IV, which features features violence and mayhem in a very recognizable, realistically 3D rendered New York City. I live in New York and while I’m generally not one to blame video games for violence, I don’t think I’m okay with with the extremely real depiction of where I live in a video game like Grand Theft Auto.

Amgryger, wasn’t that an Apprentice Episode?

RandyB,

Excellent first name you got there. I hope to see you at the SF meet @ the end of May!

Wine + High Tech = Randy Hall.

Repeat ten times to yourself, then tell three friends. 🙂

Gary- I’m voting with the group above that you lose the phone during the show. We love ya, but it’s an unnecessary distraction. Very nice wines today.

QOTD- I am not on the cutting edge of technology, but use tech on a daily basis. I appreciate what it brings to us, but I wonder what will become of all the people I see who cannot function w/o a cell phone call/text/game and Ipod plugs in their ears. It’s surprising more people aren’t run over here in Chicago every day as they travel the busy streets oblivious to their surroundings.

QOTD Technology is cool, mind boggeling, and full of gorgeous possibilities.

Thumbs up Twitter!!!

QOTD: Remember a time not so long ago when you couldn’t be reached. Yeah you remember those were good times. I miss those days. Thanks to technology I am always accessible. Yeah that sucks. Besides when cell become implanted in your hand or your earlobe, thats the day I jump off a tall bridge.

You sold me on Portugal wine, I gotta try it, reluctant at first but you got me. Good salesmanship.
QOTD: Matrix, enough said.

Gary, great episode. I really learn alot from you. Just this weekend I had a bottle of wine that I was anticipating to be really good. When I finally tasted it, it was horrible, then I remembered a few episodes ago when you had a bottle that was “corked”. This wine tasted similar to what you described. Before WLTV I would have dismissed it as a $40 crap wine. Looking further at the cork I could see the lines going up the sides suggesting a problem with the cork, the whole experience was rather exciting now that I have some knowledge about wine. I have another bottle of the same wine to try next weekend just to confirm my suspiscion. Thanks.

QOTD- Have you ever left the house without your cell phone and felt naked? I don’t know what I did in the 80’s before I had one. Now days when I am feeling saucy I will intentionaly leave the house without my phone just for the adrelaline rush. I am sick, I know.

Hey, Gar’ – you just read my question — what a kick!
On Twitter I call myself “Winepal” and you gave me an interesting Alsace suggestion for spaghetti & meatballs. If I can get to a store before heading home, I’ll give it a shot.
Thanks again for the Alsace tip!

G,
Very informative episode.
I will be looking to try some soon.
QOTD: I signed up and love twitter….I twittered all weekend from Vegas. Not sure if anyone read my notes or not but it was fun. 🙂

Gar,
First of all Great show , I would never have tried a Portuguese still wine if not for this show.
Now for the problems : Viddler is constantly cutting out ,Quicktime works fine. The phone on vibrate has to go. Kahuna is right about the multitasking!LOL QOTD : People spending hours on cell phones are the worst ! They have no social skills !
Most extreme are the Bluetooth folks blabbing out loud like they are talking to the voices in their heads.

Terrific episode and long overdue!. Portugal is my go-to value country.

I have been thrilled with just about every WL Portuguese bargain in the $10 territory.
You get old world and new world fun for nice money.

Great descriptions of notes I find in Duoros.

Too bad the last one was sold out before I saw the video.

Thanks again for the episode.

Looking forward to trying some great wine from Portugal. Thanks G.

Qotd…… Be careful for the big guy is watching and listening to us.

Great episode, Gary. I can’t wait to sample a couple of these. I know you were just in chicago a couple weeks ago, but I was wondering if you’re planning another trip for later this summer.

QotD:
I signed up for twitter and linked to AIM, but not my cell. It’s not really a privacy issue for me- I wouldn’t put up any information that I didn’t want people to know. Its more the fact that while technology has offered easier methods of communication, it also leads to more interruptions. I don’t need continuous updates of EVERYTHING thats going on. If I’m in a meeting, in class, at dinner or a movie, I’d rather be focused on the moment than getting twittered about somebody who proclaims “easy mac” the best mac & cheese ever. If I’m not doing anything important, I’ve usually got AIM going anyway.
