Gimme dat T-shirt!

LOL

I just got back from NYC, visited Vintage New York in SoHo. At the tasting bar, I used the classic Gary line about wine having a tattoo and being tougher than we think and able to stay on the counter overnight. Nobody got it. I can’t believe there are wine lovers that don’t watch WineLibraryTv like a crack habit.

Now I’m off to be a part of the Golden Nose wine judging in Hornell this weekend. Maybe I’ll even change the wine world a little!

Gary, love the show!! I just found your website about a week ago and I’m very impressed with what you are showing us all. I’ve seen your shows on the decanting, Ports, and most recently, the Girard Petite Sirah. I’ve been looking all over to find this bottle, and coming up ZILCH. I’ll keep looking, you keep on making these fantastic shows for us.

BTW.. GO PHINS!!!!!!! 🙂

QOTD: I’m taking a disproportionately large number of classes so I can graduate by august. Thus, I will be drinking a disproportionately large amount of vino to compensate.

oh, and when will that shwag be available for purchase?

PS. Your cameo on the last diggnation made me spit my drink out, that was utterly brilliant.

$0.02 cha-ching

Nice post Kathleen, Just read your yeast refs and it helped me out. I’ve tasted wines that have the “bandaid” profile and I thought to myself..did they ferment this in an old tire?

Also thanks for tribute to the armed forces!! I don’t want to start a political debate, but anybody who would lay it on the line for me is a BIGTIME HERO!!!

kahuna sez:
“Was it a shotgun wedding- congrats but why did you buy the cow when you were getting the cheese for free!-oops gotta go wifes coming into the office”

Why buy the pig when you are getting the sausage for free?

QOTD: Celebrating getting my life back, after 5 years of school + work. Now it will just be work! Work and…. drinking wine!

To the person going to northern Spain: San Sebastian!!!

do NOT miss it!!

Great episode.

QOTD: Working and drinking lots of wine. I plan on forcing all of my friends to drink really heavy shiraz/cab/bordeaux on our 105degree summer days.

Show suggestion: Get some of the Mollydooker wines. Their site is really cool and they seem like good salt of the earth folks. They have

I have to taste the Voga, now… I just can’t imagine it being as bad as describe it

Gary-
Sorry it’s been a while, but I’ve been busy!
Great episode today. An instant classic. This so blows away the Brodeaux tapes – for me, there is no comparison.
Congrats to Eric and to you on Cork’d. Things are changing in the wine world…mostly due to you. Gotta go back and see that Vermeil ep.

Hey ever think of having any other celebs on wltv, like Greg Norman? or FFCoppola?

QOTD – golfgolfgolf followed by winegrillwinewinewine

How about you?

Had that 2001 Ch Larmande last night. WOW. That hit the spot! Thanks for the great rec on that Bordeaux. You were so right. Thanks again.

Love the new corkd inspired site design. Looks fantastic! One thing that’s sort of a drag is when you click to show all comments, it reloads the page and you have to scrub through the video to find your place.

QOTD: Going to Hawaii for my tenth wedding anniversary (yay!)

Good episode. I’ve had the Voga and don’t remember it being THAT bad. I’ve had worse. I’m intrigued by the last Reisling. My wife’s favorite wine, will have to try that one.

-ME

Oh, Voga got served! Never drink by the label or the bottle.

I just don’t get rosé! I mean, is it white is it red? When I was younger I used to drink white after red, so that made rosé automatically.

Oh, and QOTD: My girlfriend is going to Lusaka, Zambia, Africa, and so spending a lot of time with her here in Denmark, and in her homecountry Norway, will be on the program. Also, this summer I am going to go nuts on rieslings – Gotta try the polish valley.
Love the now format, love the improved quality, dont get the 2cents thing – maybe thats because I’m danish – is it like “a penny for your thoughts”? Or are you actually charging us money now?

QOTD Going to Spain (Basque country). So here’s another vote for a show on Rioja wines.

QOTD: Right now only one trip planned for the summer. Going with my dad up to Washington D.C. for a Father’s Day lunch (Phillip’s in Baltimore), and dinner (Sam & Harry’s in D.C.). Maybe some Fish Market in Old Town Alexandria or Legal Seafood thrown in for good measure.

QOTD: Nothing much except work. Got a great new job so I will be busy. Just plan on drinking a bunch of good wines. Not a big Sav Blanc fan, but I will give them another try. I’d rather have Pinot Grigio.

Gary, here’s my two cents for today…

You nailed the VOGA PG!! Coolness. A friend of ours gave us a bottle and I have been dreading trying it. Now I KNOW that I’m gonna hate it. An all-time low score! Wow!

How about a whole show on GOOD rose’ wines. Maybe a TAVEL, a Provence pink and a couple of others.

QOTD: Summer! Yessssss! I will playing golf, softball, riding my bike, going on picnics at Blossom Music Center to hear the Cleveland Orchestra and drinking 3-4 bottles of GOOD wine per week.

This is my first ep. and I loved it! Awesome to watch and and informative. Loved all the shows since.

I’m way behind in episodes having been in Santa Fe for 2 weeks with a dial up modem and not able to view or comment. The rest of the summer is work and more work for me. Absoultely the worst rating I’ve ever seen for you. I will make sure I see the bottle that looks like some bottled water I’ve seen before to miss it. Gary, after going to many restaurants in the last month and looking at the wine lists (many poor and some great) by the glass is what I usually get because my wife can’t drink more than a glass and a 3/4 of a bottle at a restaurant is not always a good idea, I’m always looking for suggestions of wines that go by the glass commonly that are really good. I’ve rarely missed when I see a Ribiera de Duro or something I recognize immediately but I have been surprised by wines I’ve never heard of. So how about an episode or 2 just on those types of wines. By the way, you hit the nail on the head with my wife. she hates your voice and makes me turn you down if she is around so I’m getting her a T-shirt just for the hell of it. Thanks Gary.

Playing catch up on my WLTV watching…Fanfrickin’tastic episode! Why? You gotta love the 48 point review, eh? I love Rieslings, so I will definitely hunt down that one!

QOTD: Not doing much this summer. Going away with the wife in a few weeks, and heading out to the Stanford St. Jude Golf Championship this weekend.

I know that this is an old episode, but thanks for the VOGA rating . . . if only I could sit my customers down and make them watch that before they checkout . . .

Gary – I can always tell when you hate wine because your eyes glint like something is funny. Hilarious! Good ol’ fashioned American currency…haha! As always, thanks for bringing the thunder/cat pee.

A fantastic episode. You never fail to make me laugh and I had to show my parents the comments on the Voga. Thats classic stuff right there. I really enjoy reislings, so always happy to see one in the show. QOTD: Working. I have been on one vacation in the last 9 years. Its just work and so forth for me. Hey, we all need money dont we? All things considered I wouldnt mind being in Canada right now, but thats another story.

Damn. I should of searched for it before I bought it.

The Voga.

I couldnt place the fruit on the nose but I felt it was sharper than apples/pears. GV was right on the money with pineapple.

Then I tasted it was just so dull compared to the aroma.

I agree that it just sweetened water.
