I appreciate the value wine because a huge component of my personal wine culture is drinking it with meals on regular basis and decent value wine serves this purpose well.

The only time I tried a carmenere it was thin and tannic. Maybe I’ll try a different producers of it one of these days.

QOTD: I’d say thank you if they gave me one.

WHOA — Lightning bugs! Man, does that take me back to my childhood in New Jersey. I’ve never seen even one here in SoCal. Thanks for that, Gar’.

QOTD — What would I do for an iPhone? Not too much, for some of the reasons given in this link: http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/hughes/14081

Here’s my QOTD: Who stood in line for how long to get you yours?!

Bill V.

QOTD: I am not a big fan of the iphone…however…I’ll take your old phone since it needs a home!

I actually have that Montes Alpha Syrah 2004 and opened it this morning to drink tonight. I like it… I would however like to try the first one..

Great to see you in TIME Gary!

Good ep, GV.

QOTD: I’d write e-mails and text messages to my parents each and every day for three months.

Good episode we’re all in search of the value..QOTD Not very much,It’s all I can do at this point in my life to keep up with Myspace, cork’d, watching all the episodes,and my daily comments . I love the show and some may say the iphone would simplify these afore mentioned task.But right now it seems like tech overload for a computer illiterate like myself..I’m just settling into computers at home I need a little while before I take one with me..Keep up the good work.Later

I was just catching lightning bugs with my son the other night.

What happens in 58 days?

QOTD: Um, yeah, I’m not really into the whole “cellphone” thing. I don’t think it’s going to catch on.

QOTD: ABSOLUTELY NUTTN’!!!!!!

Leave it to Kahuna to calls em’ as he sees em’ 🙂

QOTD: I am a blackberry guy so I am taking a pazzzzzz on the iPhone. 🙂

QOTD: I want an iPhone and I want it now!!!What fabulous technology!I have heard such good reviews too!I could tell everyone about WLTV!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to get one……………………………………………..
🙂

Gary-Table Tennis???Is that like Ping-Pong???
🙂

QOTD: I’d pick it up in person.

P.S. I used to like catching the extreme dodge ball late nite. Do they still have on on TV?

Cool episode. First two wines have a beautiful color. QOTD: Absolutely nothing. Not interested. I love Apple, and I Looooove technology, but I believe that the iPhone is the ultimate ‘status symbol”, so much so, that it’s ‘irregularly’ insane to throw in another $600 besides the other cool gadgets that we are ‘obliged’ to have (the iPod included). I don’t have a Nintendo Wii, nooo.. I was even more stupid and bought PS3, and I’m almost sorry that I did. Should have toned down my stupidity level and settle for a Wii. But with iPhone, it’s not happening to me (again), nosiree!

QOTD: I-Phone is OVERRATED, I Give it a major Pazzzzzzzzzz with 10 Z’s.
It has a terrible QPR, I would rather spend the money on wine.

QOTD: Are you offering me one? ‘Cause I originally poo-pooed the idea, but if someone was going to hand me one for free, I’d say, hey, that’s neat! Let’s see, so if you said you’d give me one for free, AND you’d pay off Sprint for my early termination fee, AND you’d give me a year of free service INCLUDING unlimited texts and internet… I’d do a full out video of my “Vayniac” contest entry, all the verses, and include the scene [from Flashdance] where she pulls on the cord and the water dumps on her, but instead of water, of course, I’d use wine. That’s what I wanted to do originally, but couldn’t make it happen in time… but I would, for that iPhone.

QOTD: Absolutely nothing. I appreciate how well Apple can hype a product, but form factor aside, most other devices are already ahead of it.

GV- your other phone is 10X better. But you may remember that I’m biased!

QOTD: enter a contest maybe, but certainly wouldn’t pay for one yet. Congrats to Gary for the Time article, and of course to the Kastners for their new bundle of joy.

QOTD – What wouldnt I do for an iPhone?

“Smells like your hand after catching fireflies” – Come on Gary, can you try to think of something original for once. What wine doesn’t that apply to.

QOTD – Probably wait until the next generation.

My .02; I hate how people let brand names define who they are.

QOTD: I would gladly take one off of your hands if you needed me too.

Thanks for ranking the wines, Gary. That’s just one more little fun treat you give us, and it makes me smile 🙂

Just a BEAUTIFUL episode, Gary. BEAUTIFULLY executed, BEAUTIFULLY shot and the audio was BEAUTIFULLY functioning.

Seriously though, glad to be part of the VanyiacNation. It’s a beautiful thing.

QOTD: I’ll pay the $1,000 an unlocked iphone is going to cost here in Mexico whenever they figure out how to unlock it! And no, I wouldn’t wait at least 6 months until out third world cellphone companies decide to bring it over locked to their networks… I love Apple but Apple Mexico sucks!

It’s so cool to see coverage on wines we can actually get here in Mexico. I’ll try the Montes Alpha for sure, and I hope I can get a hold of the Los Lingues. For good chilean, I’d love to see you taste Don Melchor from Concha y Toro, it’s an excellent Cabernet. And of course Mexican wines! PLEASE!! There’s some very interesting stuff down here!

QOTD: I’d change the wine world for one.

mmmmmmmmmmm lightining bugs!

QOTD: I would roll up 36 quarters and throw them at people. 🙂
