you’re a yenta – funny. qotd: family reunion in ct. haven’t seen my sister in 2 years and never seen her kid, cause they live in texas now. so that’s pretty cool. see if i can open their minds to some good wines while i’m there.

QOTD –> hopefully ill get of my butt to go see some friends I haven’t hung out with in a while.

I miss the ocean so much that I ordered the Carina Cellars.

QOTD: this weekend??? Making music and making wine!!!!

I have liked the Carina Viognier in the past. I love cannoli’s. Can’t wait to find it. However, hard to find here in Mass.

This weekend: selling a car and packing for a move.

Very interesting ep today. Have to pick up a few of this and see what my friends think. It will be a new grape for us.

Nikolai Volkoff and Iron Sheik dolls…………….can this site/show get any better? I dont think so.

I love viognier! Unfortunately, the bilancia is already sold out! Will have to settle for the Carina cellars
QOD On call for the weekend. I will go to the local italian rst. where you can bring your own wine and also try to play some golf.

Hey All… I’m a new Vayniac. I’m learning a lot from each episode.

QOTD: Going to the Winelibrary and buying some Viognier and making sangria for a friends BBQ on sunday.

Good episode. I particularly enjoy when you focus on some of the overlooked varietals. Since you are such a Rhone fan and focus a lot of energy on the red varietals, why not touch on some roussane, marsanne and Rhone white blends in future episodes?

QOTD: Very excited for Saturday night! Want to comment on the excellent service from Wine Library. I ordered several bottle of tempranillo that Gary reccommended on Wednesdays show. They arrived in Ohio on Saturday morning. That is some of the best web service I have ever recieved. Really looking forward to trying the wine this evening!

new hairstyle GV? Nice grape to talk about…

QOTD: Weather should be better, raining now, selling wine and sampling new vintages….riding my horse on Sun…working a wine tasting on Mon!! Love the new shirts!!!! Thanks for my wristband!!

Love the faux hawk thats going on up there. Whats the story with that?

Not much, just wine and drinks and bars.

QOTD: going to a garden party (yeah!). Hopefully tomorrow will see some nice wine and a cigar.

Hi Gary,

This weekend I’m poping a Brunello and grilling some filet mignon with a friend from out of town I haven’t seen in 9 months.

And last night I had a few of the College Kid Crew friends (I’m not a CKC anymore! 🙁 ), and they told me they wanted to taste wine. So we had 3 wines in a Old vs. New World Battle Royale. I went to a wine store last night and requested one outrageous fruit bomb and one outrageous old world dirt bomb – each under 20 bones. Then when we got home I decided to pop my last Duas Quintas (we had this in LA) to represent sort of some middle ground between old and new.

I had a great time discussing wine and the history of rock music, but I have to tell you, THE OAK MONSTER WAS IN THE HIZZIE, AND VIOLATED MY PALATE.

If you haven’t had the Mollydooker 2006 Boxer Shiraz, don’t! It was so oaked that I couldn’t taste any fruit. All I could taste was a wicked forest of oak trees, and alcoholic candy. I truely felt like I was Saruman drinking my wine as the tree men from the Oak forrest attacked my fortress in Lord of The Rings II.

great episode gary

Nice Viognier, a grape I will always enjoy.
QOTD It is Saturday evening now (what’s with the late shows recently?, I’m having to catch up the next day) and as the weather is being typically British (i.e. raining) then I’m inside watching TV (normal and WL versions) with a Gewurtz/Riesling. Nothing else planned, just relaxing.

I think it’s great youâ??re getting the “V” out there. One of the lesser understood Rhone grapes with so much potential. I just got my wrist band, wore it out and 3 people claimed to be Vayniacs, I asked them where their wrist bands were? They didnâ??t have them but we got still drunk together.

GV, bringing wine-oâ??s together.

QOTD: twins game sunday in sunny so. fla.

I love Viognier…I found it on my first trip to Sonoma back in 2004…it was a 2002 St. Francis wine. Haven’t found one that good yet..will have to try these.

QOTD: Hanging out at the pool all weekend…

Dinner and wine 🙂

Viognier FTW, spread the word.

QOTD: Saturday: Arts festival (buddie has got two films up for awards) followed by a friend’s “freedom party” (it’s amazing how quickly dudes get over being dumped).

sunday: recovery

QOTD: Saturday I catching up on a book I am trying to read with a girl who is 400 miles away (The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger)…the same girl who I had try a Gerwurtzraminer with Sushi and recently she had some Viongier in a flight of 4 whites (Chard, Viong, Riesling, Pinot Gris) at a thai restuarant in Pittsburgh called The Silk Elephant. Running my 6 mile run. Working on my banter for my sister’s wedding that I am MC’ing for (450 people!)

Great hair my friend. Smiles over here!

It’s my 4th wedding anniversary. So it’s Del Posto tonight and who knows tomorrow. It depends on the hangover. I’m hydrating as I write this.

I don’t think I’ve ever tried a viognier, but I will definitely seek them out after seeing this episode.

QOTD: I’m having a wine and cheese housewarming party. Really looking forward to it.
