Great ep. I love the reasoning for scoring 94.

QOTD: I have no adversaries in wine who are old school.

    Just last night at the restaurant, one of the other waiters and I were discussing how we hate how people think of champagne as just “special occasion” stuff. I pour it on my corn flakes just to make them that much more special.

    Best of luck Eric and Amy! I’m not much of a champagne guy (though I’ve probably never had a 95 pointer either), but it was interesting to watch your evaluation. Congrats on the Time article. QOTD – not sure. Maybe one of my coworkers.

    Good luck (and congrats) to Eric and Amy…

    Congrats on Time magazine…

  • Good luck Eric and Amy! Let’s get Danica into the world and starting down the path to that day she picks up her first glass in the new, changed world of wine.

    Big congratulations on the article GV! I can almost taste it.

    QOTD: Carissa M, that lovable gal.

  • Whoever they are (Eric and Amy) congrats and good luck…having a baby is an awesome thing. Been there times 2 and still love it.

    Way to bring the Thunder on a Friday. I’m off to check out the t-shirts. I will definitely be sending the link to my family just to make sure they continue to watch the show. I took home a bottle of the Torre Muga 2003 Rioja and when we all sat down to drink it I made sure we watched your review of it.

    Congrats Gary V.

    Waaaay back in 6th grade I liked Peter Frampton before his breakout Comes Alive album hit the charts. He made a splash and look where he’s at now. Side Guitarist in the All Starr Band. Gary no matter how famous you become don’t let it get out of control. No shiny tight pants. Forget the big hair. Don’t loose yourself, man. Keep it simple. Keep it real.

    Love the show.

    QOTD: It would have to be Papa Paul in New Jersey. 2005 futures baby!

    Nice, I don’t have any champagne on hand but I’m going to pop a sparkling shiraz right now. Not that one need’s a reason but I can think of three, being in the final four, Erik’s impending fatherhood and the validation of the Times article.

    QOTD : I’ll spread it around alright but only to bring more into the fold.

    So is Erik going to take the little one to Transformers on Tuesday or is a little too soon?

    Congrats to Eric and Amy! Great article in Time. QOTD: friends and co-workers.
    I know this might be a redundant question since you drink white wine at room temperature….but do you also drink Champagne at room temperature?

  • Everyday is a day to celebrate! Congrats Gary v!

    Mmmm, huge champagne fan. ’96 vintage is crazy good. Better than any of the ’90s or ’88s I’ve had. Should check out the ’96 Comtes de Champagne (Taittinger). One of my all time favorites.

    QOTD: Not ’til I get the shout-out or the Old World Côte de Nuits episode I’ve been begging for.

    QFGV: WHEN WHEN WHEN?? My b-day’s Aug 11th, do I get the shout out then?? Poppin’ a birth-year special bottle o’ wine. If I invite you to the college kid party so you can relive your youth and you get a healthy Vayner-pour, will I get the shout out then?!?!

    Best of luck to Erik and Amy. QOTD: I will actually be sharing this with my wife who rolls her eyes when I get excited talking about wine. Sometimes the changes have to begin in the home. Maybe I’ll finally get her to watch this and the other “sparkling” episodes since that is the only wine she will drink.

    Gary – Here’s to a wonderful write-up in TIME. Congrats and nicely done. Indeed, it seems YOU (with a little bit of us)… are changing the wine world, aren’t we?
