gv – the plan is to get you into therapy for your insecurity issues

I usually try not to say anything about anybody’s postings, but I MUST say something about some over-imbibing advice above, which is to “â?¦drink 1 glass of water and take 2 Tylenol PMâ??sâ?¦.no hangover!”

I disagree. The water is a great idea. Excellent, in fact. However, taking any form of Tylenol when you’ve had alcohol (any amount of alcohol) is a BAD idea. Yes, the Tylenol PM will make you feel better and get to sleep. But: Tylenol is a known hepatotoxin–in layman’s terminology, this means that Tylenol is toxic to your liver. When combined with alcohol, there have been cases where people did this, and then went into liver failure! Just a warning….if you don’t believe me, just Google the combo or check this out :

Other pain relievers, like aspirin and ibuprofen (example Advil), apparently aren’t as hepatoxic, but if you mix them with too much alcohol (ie., you’re drunk), you could experience stomach/intestinal bleeding. See:

So…it’s best to stick to the water……

I’m not a M.D. and I’m not claiming to know much, I just want the best for all of my fellow wine-drinkers on here 🙂

The plan is for Tony Romo and the Cowboys’ revamped secondary to cut a 14-2 swath through the NFL and defeat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.

Very, very nice episode, Gary. Very nice way to wrap up the week. QOTD: Dad’s day, early breakfast with my kids here at home (provided by them), then work at 0800, sadly. Will swing by to visit my folks when I finish work around 1800. Then will probably relax and open a bottle of a grrrreat discovery wine that I just found (will comment on corkd, sit around and enjoy in the quietness of my home (kids will be gone).

Sorry Gary, I bought an oak monster t-shirt. It is freakin’s awesome. I can’t wait to wear it to this class I’m TA’ing and see if anyone catches the reference!

Gary, this is my question of the day…

Red Sox or Yankees?

Thanks for the Riesling episode! Last week I tried the 2004 Schoffit Tokay Pinot Gris, which was outstanding… had it with hot dogs relish and sauerkraut. yum! 🙂

The plan? My plan is to find out how to get one of those awesome Vaniak wristbands… though if I remember correctly you said they were sold out 🙁

In that case I’ll go for a t-shirt! 😀

Riesling is the one and only! On Friday I had an Ansgar Clüserrath Trittenheimer Apotheke 2004 Auslese, tasted it blind. It just knocked me out as I was dead sure it was an Alsace Gewürz (me! drinking Riesling almost every day …), but then … . I was ashamed and humbled again (that’s what blind tasting is: a lesson in modesty). Maybe it was so strange because it’s made from ungrafted, pre-phylloxera vines? Anyway, it was an eyeopening experience again.
QOTD: becoming enigmatic, are you? Well, THE plan: getting some of these T-shirts over here, then moving, then a long and nice holiday in Italy, then … just nothing. Dolce far niente: reading in my (own) backyard, cooking in my (own) kitchen, fondling bottles in my (own) cellar, sleeping in my (own) bedroom, …

I was just at a Riesling tasting on Tuesday. Actually it was a Germany/Austria tasting, but we had several Rieslings. I was disappointed because they were all sweet. Trust Gary to bring a dry Riesling!

QOTD: The plan is to become so educated on wine that I can get a full time job in the wine industry. It’s not fair to let Gary have all the fun!

Well, I will bring you some fresh fans from the Netherlands:-)

QOTD: Open our winery by this time next year.

Gary,

Haven’t posted for a long time — just wanted you to know that the episode was great and you rock. “the plan” is a two word refernce to a known strategy. My plan? Drink Wine!

Gary,

Go Sox.Riesling is great, one of the most versatile whites around, goes well with so many foods. All diff. styles some sweeter than others. LOve it ,love the show!
Thanks

“…running naked through a tropical forest and loving it.” Toting a bottle of Riesling, no doubt! Now that would be one helluva GV tee!

Well, I still won’t be drinking Riesling anytime soon, but a great episode nonetheless…keep up the good work, GV. I’m about to friend you up – no homo.

GV,
You’ve sold me! My next bottle of Riesling will be Domaine Riesling. Hope I can find a 2004 vintage.

QOTD…I’m taking the first steps now to help YOU change the wine world. But you can help me by sending me my wrist band. LOL! I’ll send you back the pic you asked for.

Keep up the GREAT work!

Thanks

Great episode as always.

Riesling is definetly my favourite grape, and great wines are still available for a low cost.

How about doing an episode where you try different Rieslings from the same year and winemaker, but from different locations, or terroir? That might be a good example of why the terroir is so important for the end result, since I find many Rieslings showing much of the terroir in them.

Greetings from Sweden! Keep up the good work

Interesting episode, I’ll have to hunt out some riesling!

Interesting things a-foot in France:

I must confess that when coming to wine tasting, I fall within the category of “novice.” I assure you the faux pas is to be short lived. Much appreciated towards your savvy show. Do continue Mr. Vaynerchuk.

qotd: plan, what plan?

Hey GV…Did you catch the reference to the Oakmonster while watching The Open this weekend? That was the announcers reference to Oakmont, as the conditions were SO difficult. What a tourney, eh?!!! Anyway, thanks for the Riesling episode…I’ve been dipping my toe into Rieslings lately.

Later…

Love the Riesel-diesel… Can’t get enough.

QOD: The plan is in the planning stages.

Hi Gary.

QOTD- First, you have to say What’s the plan, Stan?”

Second, to have soft shell crabs and Carlisle Zin on Father’s Day. Which I just did…Cheers!

The Plan is to find the best, cheapest wine and drink it down.How do i win the trip to Napa or ORYGONE.I’m in dude lets go!!!!!!
