Thanks GV. I’m in for 1/2 case of the Ercavio- QPR baby!!! QOTD: Anything on Ebay. NEVER as nice as advertised. I’m now completely Ebay-free.

As always, good show and I am writing down the Ercavio info to go get me some.

QOD: Buying a car. Every car I’ve ever owned. I’m never buying a car ever again.

Really excited about the Ercavio. I was deceived when I traded in a ford mustang for a ford explorer thinking I needed in the rockies…

QOTD: Da Vikes in 4 Superbowls! Still in therapy.

Dat shirt is not happenin’. Bring back the Oak Monster shirt.

Great ep! Thanks for the tasting.

Always amazes me how inexpensive those Tempranillo wines are.

QOTD: several employees I’ve hired looked like dynamos on the resume and at the interview, then turned out to be flops, very puzzling

Gary,
Great episode but I have to ask, was the Ercavio a ringer? You did the 2004 Ercavio sometime ago as a result I have one sitting for the right moment in time to open it. I also have to agree with MannyPanta up above Tucan Sam was not a pelican, still a great episode.
QOTD- Denver!!! (oops, that was the monday answer again) Jewelry on ebay, I won’t do that again, it looked good and sounded good but was not even close to what I was expecting.

I will be out looking for a couple of bottles of Eroavio Roble La Mancha tomorrow.

The Gov’t alway deceives us. That is what they are about.

qotd: i’m too much of a cynic. i always expect to get burned, so when i don’t, i win, and when i do, i’m not suprised!

“This is really darn good”, the episode! Nice to see some thunder, the Ereavio is my kind of wine. Little fruity tutty and exactly what I dream of for under 10 bones.

Just a little pun, Gary the Oak Monster is taking over your wine world. Your GV shirt just isn’t bringing the thunder..

Vayniac picture coming soon, stay tuned.

QOTD: Buying a car that doesn’t live up to the sticker gas mileage, that’s just not right.

April 2000,,, 600 point correction in the market,,,, and I was planning on retiring early and buying for all the Vayniacs!!! Sry Guys. 🙁

Good show.

I had the Ercavio at a neighborhood wine shop and I agree with you 100%. Of course, they don’t sell it for 8 bones so I’m ordering some along with the Scott SB and, of course, the Oak Monster!

QOTD: Easy, easy. 1969 Super Bowl. Warner Wolf, who was the sportscaster in DC at the time, predicted a Colts victory on TV of 42-0! I didn’t think it would be that close. We all know the final score, 16-7. 🙁 Of course, the Jets never beat the Colts again (and to this day) but nevertheless, “on paper” that’s all it’s worth: a piece of paper.

Cheers!

2005 Ercavio – can’t wait to try this.

QOTD: Dodge Stratus

Is the ’05 Ercavio a complete departure from ’04? I remember the ’04 as being such an obvious green pepper flavor. Is this one way fruiter or something?

I’ve had a Pikes Shiraz sitting in my closet for at least a year now. The problem is I stopped liking shiraz. Maybe one day I’ll like it again. It’s a lot easier to hold on to varietals you don’t love. Funny, huh?

QOTD: Deceived when all looked better on paper? My first Adjustable Rate Mortgage. 6.25 percent to start, then jumped to 9.25 after one year. REFI time!

As far as wines go? Hmmmmmm…..many times wines haven’t hit the ratings given by the “professionals”. No one particular wine comes to mind.

long time fan, first time commenter. thanks for all you do for the CKC gary. we may be young, we may be broke but hell if we dont swoon for wine like the rest of them. EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY in the house!

QOTD – When have you been deceived by what looked phenomenal on paper. Well, I saw a wine for $9 at my wine store that was RP 90. Wow, sounded great. Bought a case. Got home, the most intense wine I have ever had. Did not know what to make of the nose or the taste. Kind of felt I screwed up. Then, episode 138, Gary loved it. Pillar Red 2005. Was a little confused. Then I decanted it for 3 hours. Big difference. Love decanting now. bought 2 more cases.

QOTD: 02’Beaux Freres pinots at deep discount, it got cooked in the bottle by disreputable distributors. Terrible deception of the highest accord.

QOTD: My code before I compile it, run it, and run into a error or calculation result from left field. If there are any other programmers out there you know what I mean. Or you’re better than me and you don’t.
