Great video on quicktime. Friday, store HMMMM, can’t wait.

QOTD; looking forward to my new WLTV shirts!

Great episode. Love love love the Cambiata Tannat, one of the most interesting wines to come out of Monterey, IMO. I really enjoy these episodes with somewhat less common varietals showcased. Would love to see Dolcetto and another Charbono/Bonarda in a future episode.

QOTD: The shirts in general, the roadkill shirt in particular. Although I must say, I would wear them a lot more if they were just the prints on the front — I really don’t tend to wear shirts with lots of writing on them, and I would rather have people ask me about the intriguing image and have to explain about the show to them. But that’s probably just me.

Very interesting episode…thanks.

QOTD – I’m not into schwag. I’ll take learning about charbono (knowledge…increasing my intellectual capital) as [metaphysical] schwag. Sure, why not.

QOD: I still love the 1 bottle tote bag!

I’ll be using it this Thursday GV.. you can bet on it!!

That tannat sounds RIGHT up my alley.. I loooove the really deep purple reds.. kinda like smoke on the water, right?

QOTD: The wristband offer and yeh, I know I owe you a photo, but back off the camera should be here any day (wifeepoo left it at the SF WLTV party and Brandon M is an honorable man when not on vacation). I also have a Vayniac Tee, but by far the most favorite WLTV item is the SF commemorative glassware.

QOTD: The wristband!

I would buy the Arneis, even though it’s a borderline pazz. Why not once to try something different?

Dugg Ya…iTunes review is still there (brainer81)

QOTD: U. 5 days a week. Schwag all by itself. Thanks for the ep.

Nice ep, just wondering, how can we properly taste wine without drinking it? We watch you do it every day and I could imagine that many other people are also wondering what you are doing with all those noises you make.

Well whaddaya know – I got my hair cut over the weekend, too — about as short as yours.

Interesting ep. — some good basics mixed in with the various hypes.

QOTD: The wrist-bands. I’ve got two, and I’m fending off bullets left & right.

Just got my Dead Deer T-shirt over the weekend, and it is WICKED AWESOME! Thanks, Gary!

Gary,

I found a great Cabernet, which unfortunatley took almost a $20 jump in price. Silverado Cabernet 2003 Napa Valley. W.E. gave it 94 points and it is one of the best Cabernets I have had this year! It’s soooo ready to drink right now.
Let me know what you think!

Banyuls….great with the chocolate deserts. This Southwestern France desert wine. The production process, known in France as mutage, is similar to that used to make Port. Alcohol is added to the must to halt fermentation while sugar levels are still high, preserving the natural sugar of the grape. The wines are then matured in oak barrels, or outside in glass bottles exposed to the sun, allowing the wine to maderise. The maturation period is a minimum of ten months for Banyuls AOC, and thirty months for Banyuls Grand Cru AOC. The resulting wine bears a similarity to port but tends to be lower in alcohol (~16% vs. ~20%).

QOTD: I’m looking for that glass. BTW, I just dugg about 30 episodes. So take that.

Yupperz! Thanks once again Gary. I’ve been wanting to try a Tannat ’cause I just LOVE tannins!

I gave you a DIGG, as requested … no thanks necessary: you already grace us with your show!

Keep it up!

DIGG IT UP!!

I have actually had 2 of the 3 wines, the Tannat (which a lot of VA wineries make surprisingly), and the Black Muscat. I really like a Cab Franc, Tannat blend…like 70/30. Rockin’!! Since I will be in Piemonte/The Langhe in 3 days, I will have to seek out some Arneis. Also, since I am going to miss Fridays ep, can I get a sneak peek??

QOTD: I really like the pickle shirt although I have not bought one. 🙁

QOTD: The oak monster t-shirt that I’m wearing at work right now. Oh yeah, it’s going to attack any of my coworkers if I tell it to!!

QOTD: Love the “Oak-Monster” t-shirt!

Btw, nice haircut Gary. Is that the “Bob Backlund” doo?

QOTD: Free shipping. Beats all. And it should qualify as schwag.

Great episode, even though those will be hard to find.

hello Gary, thankyou on the shoutout and Tannat, VERY INTERESTING! QOTD: Obviously my fav t-shirt (and wine description) is the deer one, and no, I’ve never run into a deer! haha hmm I think a lurker t-shirt would be interesting, and I know that some of those lurkers are somewhat proud to hold that status….

QOTD: I love the Oak Monster t-shirt. But it’s not available to me. I live in TN, and can’t complete the order process. :/

Great Episode Iâ??d never heard of Black Muscat, I’ll have to seek it out.
QOTD: I’d have to say all the info you put out there for us, your a live dictionary in the wine world..

QOTD: Oak Monster t-shirt and Wrist Bands.

Two of the three for me: Arneis and Tannat.

QOTD: my favorite, and only WLTV schwag is the wristband, and YES, I sent a picture.

QOTD: Assuming “Schwag” (or is it Swag?) is a tangible thing, then it would definitely be free shipping. If I can count intangibles though, it would be the entertainment value of the show. It’s great to go to work, go work out, come home, and relax by watching the show.
