Gary and Winelibrary team,

I don’t know if its possible, because of its ridiculous prices, I would love to see an episode on California Cult wines- Hundred Acre, Colgin, Harlan, Screaming Eagle, Alban, etc.

Also episode on Killer California Pinot Noirs (very hard to get as most of it stays in California)- Kosta Browne, Kistler, Merry Edwards, Martinellis, Patz and Hall, Marcassin, etc.

I’m thinking about picking up some Joseph Kaetzel Pinot Gris for a rooftop/”garden” party this evening. Any thoughts from the pinot gallery?

Thanks for the pinot gris episode. I am a huge fan of Alsacation pinot gris, but have not yet found one from elsewhere I to get really excited over.

QOTD: I wrote words that memorialized the subject of that dayâ??s lecture, allowing me to revisit the lecture when necessary.

GV Thanks for throwing out all the red head love this episode, although we are a little pale, we are way more complex and ridiculously zoolanderishly good looking as compared to a pinot gris. Thanks for everything on thursday! Hope 2.0 went great. Qotd-Mountain scenes

Drink no gris, pee no gris.

1st wine sounds like stir-fried-crap.

Are they trying to make the second wine easy to send in the mail?

Oregun Pinot Gris = Conan O’Brien

I think Oregun has done more since 1969 than the Jets though…

I LOVE mustard on my melon!

I’ve had that MacMurray and wasn’t very impressed.

Isn’t ‘Huia’ what guys in the Marine Corps say?

STOP SAYING GOOSENBERRY.

You eat a lot of hay?

QOTD: Lots of stuff. I even took art in college. My final project was a pencil drawing of Fort Ouiatenon in West Lafayette, IN.

Gary,

I totally agree that the 05 Macmurray Pinot Gris was underwhelming. I do think however that the 04 was really good. I bought the 05 and was completely disappointed.

Is Benton Lane really one of your fav producers???? I tried their current offering of Pinot Noir and it was pretty bad.

QOTD: Would play a game with a pal wherein we’d begin with one random sketch (let’s say a gladiator with a sword), and then the next person would have to draw something to counter that, (like a raincloud over the gladiator that would then rust his sword); my friend might counter that by drawing a fan to push the raincloud away, and it would go on and on… kind of an exercise in cause and effect creativity. A lot of fun in fifth grade. Maybe even now during business seminars?

Every Hungarian wine I’ve had has been too sweet, but the Nyakas seemed intriguing. Of course, if I try it and it sucks, I’ll have to counter it with a sketch of a good Paso Robles zin.

test comment

Great wine to cover. Oregon Pinot Gris are wonderful summer wines.
How about tasting Vinho Verde next. The color of the wines match your shirt!

after my comments – you may want to have me going back to being a lurker.
Just kidding.

Good job marathon man.

QOTD: i could not draw if my life depended on it. i was a nerd and took notes in class, or did my homework so i could play as soon as i got home.

Hey guy, I was raised in Oregon and a huge fan of Pinot grapes. Lemme help u out tho bro — it is Ore-ee-guhn. Much love!

Houses with lots of pretty flowers lined up outside.

I second Patrill’s request – would love to see you try something from Temecula CA wine country!

gary – great show. bennett lane looks like winner. we’re headed to willamette for a vineyard sourcing trip in a month so will have to search it out for some fun summer slurping.

i drew –> cars, big boats… why, i don’t know…

Agreed on the “richness” of the MacMurray Pinot Gris, but still a fabulous drink!

Thanks for the .edu on Pinot Gris!

I think Pinot Gris/Grigio might just be too acidic for my liking, but I’ll keep trying.

Best Redhead: Angie Everhart, hot supermodel.

QOTD: Some spaceship from a cartoon I used to watch, but it’s killing me because I can’t remember the name.

Good job GV! Have not had a Pinot Gris believe it or not, but will try one soon.
QOTD: Spiderman and monstertrucks

sportscars & guitars

now its time for some serious Alsatian Pinot Gris’ episode!!!!

favorite in-class sketch was the phish logo – http://www.djouls.com/phish/images/phishlogo.gif

QOD: a lot of little boys drew military scenes with planes and bombs dropping and tanks and stickmen – whole battlefields (in the 50’s).
Was this the cold war mentality? Haven’t thought of that in 50 years!

Gary: just something to add (just one little voice) to your comment list.
john –

Cork’d fine now, validation email found in spam filter.

The nerve of Yahoo to relegate a GV associated email/site with the penis enlargers, Viagra and lottery emails form small African nations! Well, I never!

Awesome episode! Nice to see the variety.

QOTD: I didn’t draw in class, I was too busy passing notes in class telling boys whether or not I would “go steady” with them. And notes to the girls about what we should wear to the roller rink on Saturday night if I was able to sneak out of my room. I was a little (coughing) underage.

QOTD: Teddy Bears, hearts, stars and VH!

QOTD: Dinosaurs, cars, and stuff. Though, I just graduated from art school last month, so you can see what I was drawing on my website.

I was wondering if there was a place in Los Angeles that someone could recommend to go to and learn more. I’m still new to the wine world.
