Because you ran a marathon and told me too…
QOTD: I’ve been enjoying this wine A LOT…2004 Marc Colin Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne. Best white burgundy I’ve had.

SEA KAY SEA! You try that Alapha Omega Sauv Blanc yet or what!

P.S. I think you should add a CKC section to the Forum.

I love you Gary. You have a great, great personality and keep me informed about wines. I needed some whites so I will definitely be buying some of the wines you enjoyed. Have a great day and I, too, always say “I love you” to my loved ones.

Gary, Great episode.
QOTD: I would probably lean towards Rieslings for my favorites summertime wine.

Gary, I have drank so much Falanghina this summer. I love that stuff.

Gary – wow, am I behind episodes. Thanks again, and thanks for the good advice. I don’t tell my family I love them enough.

QOTD: I’m really getting into white wine from Spain. It’s been perfect considering the hot and dry weather we’ve had in Indiana so far this summer.

QOTD: French Rose!!!

Nice episode.

Spectacular episode, Gary!
QOTD: I like to start with a nice chilled NZ Sauvignon Blanc, Argentinian Torrontes or Albarino. With the meal, bring the unpopular Chardonnay.

Those tall things with the brown top you can light on fire are called Cattails.

QOTD:
Viognier.

cattails bro, they’re cattails. Here’s my smart-alec link:

Favorite summertime wine: bogus question for me! I like good wines year round, I don’t tend toward one varietal or another just because it’s hot outside. Screw that, turn on the air and pour me a peppery zin!

Love the outside marathon by the way. That’s a lot of work to drag your crap outside just to get shouted down by a large diesel! The extra effort keeps it interesting, thanks!

p.s. I think it’s about time Carolyn started typing some of these damn comments. I’m not a secretary! (signed AARON!)

Yo Yo Yo, Garrrrrrrry! Thanks for the reminder on making some time to watch this episode! Miss ya! Glad too catch you gain! Great as usual!

Not too crazy for whites. Trying to get back into them but having a hard time.

Same as you(“Big Love” to the “Family”, baby!)Proud to be a family man!

REDS! REDS! REDS! REDS! Any kind; Summer and all!

I really enjoyed the Kanu ’06 Chenin Blanc that I picked up from Cost Plus. Really happy you tried a South African Chenin Blanc, it sounds like it is shaping up to be a varietal that does really well in that region.

On a side note, why didn’t you line them up best to worst like you used to do? On a marathon event like this, we need a little reminder at the end of how everything compared with one another.

Fun Show!!!

QTD: New Zealand Sauv Blancs

Rock on all you Vayniacs out there – solid episode, thanks Gary! =)
Hope you got to take a bath after this episode!!!!

Great marathon…. I have the Villa Maria as a good little inexpensive drink quite a bit. Will be seeking out the Fort Ross!
Reislings are my fav summer time fling.

Gary, I think that you are right on with the “I love you’s” to those you care about. Listen, life is a funny thing – it’s far shorter than we think. Letting those you love know it is a wonderful wonderful thing.
Wine, family, friends, good food, great memories….. that’s what it is all about.

That was a wild one G!
My heart went out for the La Mondotte sacrifice…I love St-emilion wines…How about an episode dedicated to more affordable st-emilions?
QOTD: I have to admit that Sauv Blancs from the Marlborough region of New Zealand have been my favorite whites becauseof their high QPR.

Cheers,

If there are any fans in the CT area, hit me up on myspace!!!

It’s summer and the whites are taking over. Drinking lots of Sauvignon Blancs. Not a huge fan of the oak monster chardonnay’s – especially the California style – so sticking with the SB’s, Soave’s, Pinot Gris and other dry varieties.

QOTD: Riesing, perfect summer grape. A nice Trimbach, please. Had Wittman the other nigth, very nice and good value

That was wonderful. I’ve never been so entertained by a marathon.
I’m trying new things…bought my first rose champagne today. The last pink beverage to touch my lips was probably over a decade ago, so this one is for you, GV.
Cheers!

Megan

Gary, You Rock and Well done!

QOTD: When it is SCREAMING HOT like today (106 in So. Cal.)I like freezing a bottle of wine on a cooking sheet and make a slushy. (It has a funky name but i dont use it) Very refreshing. Its too hot got to jump in the pool. See Ya.

Classic!! My favorite summertime wine is that darn Godello that you turned me onto last year. 😉

super show! Cool view of the store (it’s huge!!!)!!!

QOTD: favorite summertime wine??? Don’t know, I don’t let the seasons dictate my choices (no rules!!!!!!!), but I’m into Tuscans and Languedocs lately!
