YES! This Voga wine is SO BAD. Drinking my first and last ever glass of it right now. I sincerely wish I had read reviews on it before I bought it. It is the worst wine I have ever consumed. I had to do some research after my first taste because the smell just threw me off so much. At first I thought it must be off, but it’s not.. It’s just a terrible smelling, terrible tasting, sad excuse for a wine. Never again.

    QOTD: This summer my girls (wife and 2 daughters) are going to stay with the grandparents in Los Angeles while I work, do some home projects and try lots of wine. I’ll be making a Wine Library pilgrimage while they are gone.

    WOW! Having Vermeil on was cool, BUUUUT…..this was waaaaaaay better. Definitely one of the best I’ve seen.
    1) I too love the pink.
    2) I love when you hammer a crappy wine. Wow! Do the producers or distributors call and harrass you?
    3) LOVE the cat pee. I just ordered a bunch of the Sunday Mountain Sav Balnc. (From wine library)
    4) 5 minutes before you showed the t-shirt, my wife wined, “he’s really obnoxious. why do you watch that?” Hmmmmmm….is there a vaniak tatoo I can purchase??
    5) I love corked and am delighted that you are expanding it.
    Congrats.
    QOTD: this summer…..I return to indentured serivtude (Surgery residency). My wine habbit will suffer. Ouch.

    Yeah the forums are a bit difficult to find.

    Awesome episode, I’ll bet $100 in nickels will get you even more comments.
    VOGA, I’ll make sure to stay away from the crap, it’s probably a WAL-MART scheme to take over the wine world. The rest of the wines looked interesting.

    I need to get aquainted with the cat piss.

    My 2/10 cents:

    – gotta agree w/ you (about girls that don’t wear makeup)

    – I know it’s too late, but just for good measure… GIMMIE DAT T-SHIRT!!!

    – you know, I’ll have a tough time giving you a full ten cents if you don’t do any more episodes this week 😛

    – QOTD: I’ll be spending my summer reviewing trigonometry, catchin up on my reading, and taking a social-science seminar class… and drinking wine, of course.

    Ooo, a 48-pointer. I would buy that for someone I hate, but I don’t hate anyone that much. I hope your mouth isn’t permanently scarred.

    Gary, your show is awesome! My fiance got me into it and now I’m a fan. I love the summer whites theme. I drank a bunch of Gruner Veltliner in March (H&M Hofer) and it matched the season perfectly. A very springy wine in a big green bottle.

    Question: How long do you recommend cellaring pinot noirs? We have a 1999 Husch Pinot Noir (Knoll vineyard) that I think we need to open soon. What is a good vegetarian food to eat with it?

    Plus: We love Cork’d! Been on it a few months now and we have several reviews. I’m glad you got involved with it! Looking forward to good improvements.

    cheers!

    GV – Best of luck to you in selling that VOSS cocktail.

    QOTD:

    Summertime plans include lots of baseball, travel, wine tasting, concerts, and being outdoors. But for the majority of the summer, I’ll be pushing pills at the über-hip Big K Pharmacy. Yeah yeah, I’ll be spending my summer at the local Kmart store,(do they still exist?!). If I see little punks bringing toys from the dollar store and trying to return them at my counter, I’m going to laugh and deny them of their $6 profit scheme…what kind of “kid” would do such a thing…Gary? 😉

  • Sorry for my lack of comments lately. I was boycotting this area after the Jets traded up to take Darrelle Revis one pick before I thought the Steelers were going to get him.
    QOTD: Hopefully spending lots of time with the family (including the in-laws)

    I know that you often ask for suggestions for wines to taste and I think this recommendation may be something that can finally bring the New World fans and Old World fans together. Vayniacs unite!

  • Man, that Riesling sounds awesome, and that Voss-lookalike Grigio sounds awesomely bad. Thanks for the whites, hopefully we’ll see variations on this theme throughout the summer. QOD: This summer it’s all work work work- making dreams come true (hopefully).

    Breathe easy gary – here’s a comment. Good episode. High energy as usual.
    Love Goya juices – enjoy the taste of “can”.
    As for white zin . . . that’s what got many people started. An enjoyable, fruit forward wine without the astringent acidity of poorly made wines.
