Tom F = Tim F (big fingers)

Damned if I don’t feel like a smacked ass…I just e-mailed a complaint to Gary this morning about the lack of anything having to do with aglianico (my favorite red) on the vlog. Thanks, Gary, for spreading the word. Can we get something on Fiano di Avellino now?

A nice local white from Indiana. Not sure which on yet.

Crazy Gary!!! Thanks for the shout-out to Franky “Sweet Music” Viola. Go Twins! (Damn Yankees are beating my boys). Sorry about the Dante C. moment

Congrats Tim F!

QOTD: ??? hopefully something good!

Gary, another great episode as always, another wine I will have to seek out and try.
QOTD- 2006 Whitewater Hill Riesling, started it tonight and I will finish it tomorrow. A Colorado wine that is bringing the thunder!( at least in my opinion)

Thanks for doing a show on this grape. I’ve tried to learn about it and drink more of it over the last year.

No holiday up here tomorrow, but in my mind I’m popping a bottle of Michele Chiarlo Barolo with some steak at noon.

Keep it going, Gary.

Love the Aglianicos. QOTD: I think I’ll bring one to the fireworks party I’m going to. OK, that and a Cava, maybe also a rose.

🙂
MattyB——– good luck with that first homebrew… I’ve brewed since 1996,, takes away from my 800 bottle cellar at times,,, but always something fun to drink. What are you brewing??????????????????????????????/

Congrates Tim F. Great episode Gary,Will definitly seek out some Aglianicos thanks again for the heads up.QOTD =Chateau Beauchene Grand Reserve Viognier,my first Viognier on a little tip from a friend of all of us a few weeks back ,thanks Gary ..Later

Great to introduce under the radar wines like Aglianico…never tasted one but that’ll change soon.
TimF is a riot…GV, Are you really 5’3” (might not be able to hold much liquor at this size!!) 🙂 ?!
Happy July 4th,
Grapedigger – Montreal

QOTD: No telling what we will be drinking tomorrow but we will be having good bbq and drinking wine that is for sure. 🙂 Happy 4th everyone!

nice to see the aglianico coverage…. i think. i was hoping i could keep this one all to myself! but if it gets a *little* more popular and results in a wider variety of brands imported, i can live with it!

qotd: honestly, beer. getting some rhode island IPA’s from trinity brewhouse in downtown providence. best stuff in the world for backyard chillin’. the next few days will be more interesting… i’ve got all sorts of stuff lined up, from a spatlese riesling to a brachetto, to a dolcetto, to a hot viognier… it’s gonna be a great long weekend with lots of family action.

have fun y’all… happy 4th!

I’m going to admit I’m one of the many who has never heard of Aglianico. Will have to remedy that. Hate to say it but I voted for #3. I thought #1 was just a little to bit K-A (still, congrats Tim).

QOTD: Margarita’s – rocks no salt!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations TimF

QOTD: 2001 Paraduxx

That was an amazing episode TimF’s music choices were amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what can I say to that I love 80’s music. I have never had that type of wine Gary i will have to give it a try. Cheers

Listen – a little bit of “love handles” is ok if you are tall or fruity enough.

TIMF blowin it up! Tommorow is TBD either hard ass liqour, maybe margheritas in the 90 degree so cal sun or some cheap white wine, only time will tell! One thing i know is no training tommorow…wooohoo…but a final in money and banking in the morning 🙁 Will seek out some aglianico

way to pour some wine for the dead homies Gary!

Sorry, I am a cop….I thought it was funny!

Yay! SF glass!

Gary, thanks for the Aglianico ep. As far as I can remember, you’ve only done one other Aglianico on the show (ep185), and of all of your recommendations it’s one of my absolute favorites for the price (Di Majo Norante Contado Aglianico 2003).

QOTD: Tomorrow I’ll be drinking Johnny Walker Green Label, and maybe a bottle of my new favorite Gewurtztraminer: Chat. de Riquewihr Dopff & Irion “Les Sorcieres” Gewurztraminer 2003

Never had an Aglianico. Is it anything like a Negroamaro-based wine like Salice Salinetino? Try the Valle Cupa from Massimiliano Appolonio (Negroamaro/Primitivo). Imported to the USA by Vin Divino in Chicago. I’d love to see it on the show.

Great episode showcasing a very nice, yet intriguing varietal. I’ll need to order some of the “Vulture.”

QOTD: Either the ’04 Haywood Zin or ’00 Reignac with grilled baby back ribs on the deck and the ’05 Emmolo SB on the high school grounds watching the fireworks.

Congrats to Tim F.

Happy Independence Day! A big shout-out to those who defend our country and our freedom.

Cheers!

Frankie V – ’87 World Series MVP (even forgoing being in his brother’s wedding to start Game 1), ’88 AL Cy Young Award winner, ’89 whiny little b*#$! and traded to the Metropolitans for Kevin Tapani, David West, Rick Aguilera, and Tim Drummond (had to check baseball-reference.com for the last one); never great post-Twins career. Serves him right!

Go V-Chizzle! Happy 4th!

So glad I tuned in today and saw the winning vid! Happy 4th Gary to you and your gang! Hey how about a show on the wine books you like best?????

QOTD: July 4th is one of those days I literally take a rare holiday from wine. Beer with Bar BQ at lunch, and a dry gin martini to begin the evening.

Aglianico is a fairly recent discovery for me in the last couple of years. It has become one of my favorite Italian wines below the Tuscan border. I will have to try to find the Coviv.
