Great ep GV.
QOTD —- Aussie Mourvedres ——– little more fruit, nice for summertime especially if you put a little subtle chill to it …………. there are no rules.

Great episode.

When we go out to a nice dinner, I we usually try a new wine.

QOTD: I’m becoming a fan of Pinot Gris this summer. Had it for the first time in Hawaii and have had it a few times since.

Great episode.

You are so right about the ones we love. The other thing we don’t do is hug. Your friends and family deserve a hug. Everyone try it, you will like it!

To the wines, I gave the 2005 Schonleber an 87, and that was a better year, so it looks like we see that one the same.

Gary, “Pussywillow, cattails,soft wind and roses” Gordon Lightfoot, late 60’s. Nice Marathon ! QOTD: Muscadet. Got one in the fridge I’m lusting after right now.

Great Show! I like Reislings in the summer, but thanks to you I have discovered New Zealand SB’s,Muscadet’s,Abarinos, you are an AA degree in eneology. That parking lot looks hotter than Manila in 1975, way to go Champ!

GV risking a Heat Stroke for us WLTV fans… what a guy!

Another awesome episode, Gary.

great episode gary! it was hot as balls today!

A new crew you need to know about is the Tasting Room Crew!!!!!!
I work in a tasting room for Andrew Murray Vineyards in Los Olivos, Ca and I know several wine pouring vayniac FREEKS!!!!! Show us some love! Also to touch on you asking us to “spread the word” about some WLTV and we do it more then anyone! (well at least I know I do)

QOTD: My top summer wine is the Andrew Murray Sanglier Rose.

Great episode; thanks GV. QOTD: going into this summer my answer would have been Rose but thanks to you and your encouragement to expand my palate the clear winner is Riesling…Trocken Riesling to be specific. Who knows that could change though; I’m going to crack open one of the Muscadets you recommended this weekend.

Long time Lurker, first time poster.

Wicked awesome show GV. The marathon show brought me outta hiding.
QOTD: Gotta be a super chilled Champagne while chillin in the hot tub.

Another classic!! Thanks for the great show.
QOTD: Bogel Chardonnay

A great episode!!!! I always learn something new.QOTD German Riesling

QOTD: I may be subconsciously drawn to certain wines in the summer; but I don’t have a summer or winter favorite.

Its great to see Gary fired UP! He’s like a football star training in the heat for the season with that insane wine tasting.

QOTD: Wine, thats it… just wine… who says I need to fit into this summer/winter rule wine thing

QOTD: Just started getting into wine last summer, so it’s yet to be seen.

Great show dude.

Wow – from the cold of winter episode to this heat of summer marathon. What else will GV do for his Vayniacs?

QOTD: Conundrum and Sonoma Cutrer

New Zealand Sav Blanc, the best for a hot Summer day.

WOW!!!! Great marathon Gary!!! I’m a long time lurker, who wishes to congratulate you for putting out an outstanding effort in the heat. i could never pull that off in Mordor aka Jacksonville,Fl.

QOTD: Sadly I prefer goon, aka cheap boxed wine. Yeah it tastes like crap but it all i can afford on the weekends being a CKC.

Gary,

Hot show! The stems with the brown tops – we call them cat-tails but I’m sure there is another name.

Thanks for going the extra mile today Gary!

QOTD: This summer… either a nice riesling (I’m liking Niagara up in Canada e.g. cave spring) or a semi-dry Vouvray (I’m w/ you on chenin blanc)

Dude you are raising the bar pretty high it’s only a matter of time before the Vaynernation demands the “hail” episode or heaven forbid the “heat” episode. Nice OAK MONSTER….. you suffer so we don’t have to.

QOTD: If I’m honest still more shiraz/syrah (screw the rules, it’s what I enjoy) BUT you have had SOME effect, I have had the Majella sparkling shiraz (interesting but poor QPR @ $27), I have had a few blends as well and I’ve actually chilled a half dozens whites that have been gifted (or regifted as the case may be) to me by well meaning, but uninformed guests that I haven’t been brave enough to open yet. Baby steps, baby steps.

I’ll do some research and if they’re worthy I’ll pawn one off… er, bring one to accompany the red to the dinner tomorrow.
