OMG – I am dying over the Voss/Voga “wine-like” drink. “lets give it 50 points, it gets much for just being wine – wait lets score this one 48 points….” :)) GV have to say I love when you taste horrid wines as it debunks the “seriousness & stuffiness” of wine tasting.

QOTD: I decided to take the summer off from school and enjoy the weather as I need to destress.

Classic episode. Should I be looking for free shipping on the Voss/Voga wine in the future? I know someone I’d like to send a case to.

This summer I intend to play softball as often as I can with my family, go to Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA (early August), watch lots of baseball, lose 30 lbs and drink enough wine to make me forget I’m 60.

Great episode Gary, we really need an episode on 4 dry rosé, especially a region driven one, that would be pretty cool…… 🙂 I absolutely love it when you attack a whole region, specially when it’s about white wine… oh and of course I’m still waiting for an episode on albariño………. see ya Gary!!

Voga proof that just because your pretty doesn’t mean there is any substance inside worth exploring :).

I am spending my summer working on my podcast network. Recording shows, working on adding badass features to the website, maybe even adding a video component. I also have a huge family reunion i am going to be doing film, photos, and audio for.

I’d comment more but I am watching the episodes in the evening the next day (y’alls’ time) and my pearls of wisdom end up being lost in the shuffle…but hay er hey…I second the call for an all rose episode. One of my favorite roses is a Clos de Lambray for about 20 USD equiv. but well, well worth it. I’m intrigued by Spanish garnacha rose so why not some pinot, garnacha/grenache and other roses (syrah/shiraz?)?? And, indeed, Aus. Riesling is something everyone should seek out at least once. Old world though? Fairly bone dry compared to Alsace/Germany, no?
QOD: Sweating my fat ass off…

Watching here from Tokyo. You got fans around the world.

Here’s my 2 for the day a day late. Great episode Qotd Doing lots of yard work, grilling, and golfing… and wine of coarse. Hey I just read your most recent twitter and you are going to recieve alot of flack for calling everybody out and asking for there 2 cents everyday and then being short a couple episodes in the following days. I for one won’t give you any guff about it. You do a hell of alot for all of us man And I think everyone has got caught up in a busy schedule from time to time. I hope you find a way to throw us an episode or two but if not see you monday and enjoy your weekend.thanks

PGC – Awesome

Giving a wine 48 points when its starts at 50 is like not getting the 200 points for putting your name on the SAT. HA

QOTD – More or less the same as always, work kind of gets in the way. But I plan on taking my son swimming most weekends and we rented a house in the Berkshires for a week in August which should be fun.

QOTD: My house is on a lake, so there’ll be a lot of swimming, a lot of BBQing, and a lot of relaxing outside!!! Might be some yard work in there, too.

Hey Gary,

Congrats on the Cork’d acquisition. I have liked cork’d practically since they came online. Good resource. Please take care of it! 🙂

Cheers!

Wacky show, drinking dimes, wow!, I knew there was going to be more to them than just the two cents 5 times a week, did you rehearse that? About the two cents stuff, I agree that if there is nothing to say, nothing should be commented, otherwise is just more noise, unless that is the objective. Is very good when you read significant comments that educate or bring something up that needs to be said. Praising your efforts in each episode is also good, but ” Top ten!”, come on, that is useless. Never the less, is a great show, Gary, is like the morning coffee to me, I watch it first thing every morning. Congrats on the growth of the empire, as long as we all benefit, keep expanding. Just signed up for Cork’d, “jorge” was taken so I am “jll”.

QOTD: Help my son get into a college Baseball program somewhere. Lots of showcases and letters.

Aaah the joys of french pronunciation. Hate to break it to you, but instead of saying “puits” wich means “well” (as in a hole in the ground), you said “pute” which means “whore” 🙂 that’s okay though, I love WLTV all the same.

QOTD: For the summer i’m going on vacation in Burgundy when my girlfriend comes out after the semester ends, then it’s off to the Sierras to spend a few days in the mountains with the fam.

Residual drops of cat pee – I love it!!! Best note ever.

QOTD: holed up in my apartment writing a dissertation. Arggggggggggg. But it will be done in August and then I can get into all those wines I’ve been buying from Wine Library.

My 2 cents.
I love your Voga review. My inlaws love this stuff and think it’s the greatest wine in the world. They are also big fans of Kool-Aid. I don’t mean to insult Kool-aid.
QOTD: Playing golf, playing guitar, just plain playing as much as I can.

Good episode… glad I never I bought that Voga now…

HERE’S my two cents: make it easier to leave a comment!

Gary,

First you “love having a couple of nuts in your mouth”, now you’re embracing the pink. I’m so confused.

I’m BACK! was in Cuba for a bit on vaction but am finally up to date on all of the episodes. I loved the Bordeaux clips….keep them coming!
QOTD – I’m hainging out at our cottage….drinking some nice Domaine Ott and Austrian Riesling and GruVee. What are you doing Gary?

Very funny from what I could gather from listening to it.
I can’t watch the video, just listen to it. I’ll have to get back in touch with AntiChris. He’s goin to get tired of me.

So you drank wine w/ dirty money in it? Did that improve the flavor?
There are a couple of today’s wines I just might have to add to my cart.

QOD: Whatever gets me outside. Grilling, bike riding, cornhole. I’d like to take the fam whitewatering. We are taking my daughter and son-in-law to Chicago for a Cubs game. (He’s a big baseball freak; unless it’s football or college basketball season.) and the no-brainer…drinking some good wines.

Gary, you gave me plenty to work with yesterday…thanks!!

Drinking Dimes?I also love your Voga review. I don’t know what to say?????? Very cool!!!!!!Great EP!!!!
🙂

Just want to clarify that I was not the Matty who requested Gary try Voga.

That looked like a biggazz bottle of Eau de Toilette Voga…a little dab behind the ears…no wait better…aftershave! A splash or two should do.

I really wanted that T-shirt…maybe if I begged. Please mister. Gimme dat T-shirt. I’ll make good use of it. I will sit in my front yard in a lawn chair drinking wine in your T-shirt that came from WL and tell the kids that gather at my feet the story of you. Just please mister I gotta have it!

QOTD: only teaching 6 weeks…woohoo! then going to northern CA for Vaycay! Actually stopping in Oregon wine country, too!

QOTD: Summer means bikini diet – so, less food, more wine!

Great episode as always!
I enjoyed the polar opposites (terrible wine and great wine).

This summer, I’m taking it easy in Houston, and having a good time.

Great show Gary. Another good website for checking out wines is Wineaccess.com
