A dumb Rhein king

Hmm … sounds like a new band name “My Life with the College Cill Crew”

QOTD: Nothing. I wouldn't say that it is a bad product, but I'd rather have a choice of provider. Next holiday season I'll be going with an Android on the Verizon network.

    Gary,

    Feeling the pain as you announce that you’ll go anywhere…in the United States. Ouch! And a day after Canada Day, no less. Think you’re funny by freezing out the Canadians, eh?

    No need for the i-Phone as I’d be too lazy and/or stupid to learn how to operate it, and my wife would take it from me anyway.

    Carmenere is a great grape. Thanks for the show.

  • QOTD: I’d wait in line for 2 hours for the store to open … heh

  • Whoa! Kahuna! I think GV might take you off his Xmas list. When the iphone does my laundry, I’ll be down.

    Thanks for the show, Gary, and congrats on all the pub. You’re 15 minutes are almost up but WE’LL still be here cuz we love da juice!

    Big G at it again. I was wondering about the Montes Syrah. Nice job covering that.
    I’m going to throw out a Big Shout Out on Los Angeles being your next City to visit. I know you were here not to long ago, but it is the Entertainment capital of the world and your shows are bringing some great entertainment as well as valuable information. Ya know what I mean? Ya fell me? LOL
    QOTD. For one of them there Iphones I would buy you a drink my friend. : )

  • Interesting on the Montes Alpha, definitely makes me curious to try it out. I think I’ll add it to the next tasting.

    QOTD: Not pay $500, and not use a carrier I disagree with on moral grounds. But I do look forward to the next generation it inspires,.

    What would I do for an iPhone? Not much. I drop my phone on the ground from fairly significant heights at least 2 or 3 times a day. An iPhone would be trashed in about a week.

    Taste some mourvedre wines please!!! I just tried this grape for the first time and it’s great. I looked for a WLTV episode on mourvedre and didn’t find anything. Some Sonoma County wines would be quacktastic…Cline Cellars maybe?

    Thanks!

  • Matty Matt

    Fake sour flavor? Like sour patch kids. Given your love of candy surprised you didnt go there.

    Had a great time Thursday night and Kahnua’s being a bit salty today.

  • Madrone

    G, have you ever considered adding the retail price of the wines in an episode in the box labled “Wines tasted in this episode”? That would add something to the “quick” view of the vlog page

    QOTD – not interested in iPhones. I make and take about three calls a week and that’s it. Don’t need a new gadget at all.

    Gary,

    Congrats on the Time Magazine article. You even convinced Joel Stein to get his mother to try something other than Yellow Tail!

    Hey Gary and to everyone,

    Check out the Perez Cruz Vineyards online. The Carmenere is a hit. The property is beautiful as well!

    LOVE your show…it is truly important work you (and your production team) are doing. Wine needs this.

    p.s. bring up the iris a bit for me…this ep. was dark (fitting for the carmenere)

  • GV,

    Could I use College Kill Crew if I ever start a hardcore or thrash metal band?

    I love Carmenere. You should do more of those.

    QOTD: Absolutely nothing.

    QOTD: Nothing. I’ll wait to see what Palm and RIM have to offer in the coming year or so.

    Gary – though the JETS won’t play in Indy this year unless there’s a playoff game, you’re always invited (along with other Vayniacs in the vicinity) to my place for good wine and debate. You must be football fans, however!

    I’d do the Running Man, maybe throw in a little Funky Monkey for the upgraded memory.

  • Lynne

    MR & MRS K, I’m so happy for you both and I offer huge congrats on the birth of Miss Special K, Danika. Will we see pictures soon?

    Gary, Wow! In Time! I hope all this national publicity won’t make you too big for your britches. ;)(to quote my Grandma)
    Congratulations to you and your family!

    QOD: Nothing. AT&T service isn’t available where I live.

    Gary, Nice episode as always.
    QOTD- Never miss a WLTV episode again

    QOTD: I’d root for the Jets for one week especially if they are playing Tom Brady, the wuss.

    Good show and congrats on the TIME article.

    Cheers!

    P.S. The Fort Ross Chard was a big hit this past weekend. Verrrry nice bottle of wine.

  • Man…I fall into the category of really liking the Montes Alpha…The Syrah was always a good goto wine when I couldn’t figure out what to buy. But…Now that I am now a seasoned Vayniac…I just buy something that makes sense. Win Some Lose some….Kind of like gambling on 40 yr Old Pitchers…I just happen to have 3 on my Fantasy Team….Ouch!

  • An iPhone? What would I do with that? For the same money, I can buy several cases of wine.

    Tech is a tool. When it facilitates dissemination of ideas, as with WLTV, it is laudable. In itself, however, it means nothing.

    Tech brings along both value and novelty. Best not to confuse the two.

    There isn’t much I wouldn’t do for and iPhone, probably wouldn’t trade my 23 year old bottle of pappy van winkle.
