Bringing the thunder fersure……… that prologue is EXACTLY why I keep coming back. I’m not sure I’ll ever gain enough knowledge to speak intelligently on the subject but you certainly give one hope (and without that what else is there?) Extremely, extremely indeed.

That cheese is right up my alley, you said anchovy? Gotta get some now.

Dirtbombs, 5 Jet offensive lineman doing a double session in this weather during training camp and then wrestling in mud and not taking a shower, slimey creature you are trying to capture but you have gloves on, balloon of flavor (you talking ’bout angioplasty, Willis?)

‘fess up did you steal those from Parker?

I hate to think that remaining 1.6% is typing the same URL as I.

What’s with the asymetrical sleeve roll up look?

Gary, I like you enough to change my license plate and be forever labeled but feel you up? A tad too much to ask, you’ll have to settle for a friend me up.

Wow, who knew there were so many dogs in those pictures?

The pets are really cute too.

my comment is awaiting moderation…. I don’t do ANYTHING in moderation..

I’ve been wondering for a long time how close you would get to some of the other raters if you didn’t know the rating they gave. Maybe have someone setup the wines for you with what rating other raters gave on a card. I don’t know how this could be turned into a contest… but it is the start of an idea.

QOTD: Changing the wine world? How about a drinking contest? Well maybe not.

QOTD: An original composed theme song would be an interesting contest for WLTV, although it would be very easy to come up with songs that are too serious for the show or much much too corny.

Also, the only two wines I currently have in my closet cellar happen to be Super Tuscans – so naturally the episode was a good one for me.

Thanks for bringing the Thunder today.

QOTD: I will have to get back to you on that

QOTD: Theme song all the way

Super Tuscan,unbelievable show today way to bring it.Awesome, Altesino looks to be a steal…great episode. QOTD has got to be a Theme Song contest that would be great.

Great Episode…….

I love the Tuscan wines, I was at Altesino in 04.Maybe it was my trip behind the barn that put some extra flavor in that wine .
😉

SHHHHHHH! I really wish everyone would stop talking about Tuscan wines…. it just drives the price up.!

How about going back to 30 sec video introductions by the Vaniacs?
Its Monday and here is my 2 cents. 🙂

good episode.

I’d say theme song, but of course I’ve just spent the last 5 days with my composer team trying to narrow down one, so that’d be a bit of a kick if someone ran in and won the contest over it, but I suppose I could live with it.

Other than that I’m not sure I have any brilliant ideas. The intro sounds fun, but I think 30 seconds is too long.

Cool Super Tuscans!
Thanks for the treat.
QOTD: I like the intro idea….with the theme song a close second

When I go to a wine store for the first time I tell they first person I meet, “I know anyone who comes in here with $40-$50 dollars can find a good bottle of wine with out any help, some will find a great bottle. What I need help with is finding a good everyday $10 bottle.” Most have been very helpful.

Gary, I am going to have to try the Altesino after those comments. You said you are going to visit Napa next week. Do you have any plans on driving south to Temecula, Ca. I left a comment last week wondering if you might do an epesode on Temecula wines. This is because I live only an hour from those wineries. Thanks,

Another great show Gary. Definately shows that you don’t have to spend a fortune for great wine. The Altesino is an absolute steal. You make a great point when you comment that wine should be enjoyed simply because you like it regardless of what the critics may say. Ultimately, that is all that truly matters because you have to consume it. Keep up the good work.

I don’t know from Super Tuscans, really … I have a ’95 Tignanello in the cellar but I must confess I’m not totally sure how to treat it right. I imagine it’s ready to go, though. I need to make some room in that thing anyway.

And if I can vent for a moment. Like a lot of people, probably, I spent Saturday evening at a wedding reception for a few friends of mine who decided to get hitched on 070707. So we’re in the banquet room in the newest high-end restaurant in town, and I ask the bartender what he’s got for wine back there; he sez merlot, chardonnay and white zin. Not promising, but then I ask him, hoping against hope, what’s the merlot?

He sez “uh, that’s a RED wine.”

Never mind.

QOD: I miss the video intros. Those were fun.

Great episode, Love Tuscan wines. You need to taste more cheese!

Great solid episode ….I support the 30 sec video intros competition.
Cheers

As against non-traditional blends as I tend to be…I will have to try some of these IGT’s for 2 reasons…

1) The description of the Del Bosco is just what I look for in my Old World Wines.

2) I felt a bit chastised regarding close-mindedness. You are right, I have to be less rigid, and open up the old mind now and again.

Cheers for your desire to open minds!

One more for the to drink list – Altesino.
The intro video and song are good ideas – but keep it to 20 secs.

QOTD: I’d love to see a theme song contest.

Tasting request: Domaine De La Barroche Reserve Chateauneuf Du Pape 2004. I had this wine recently and loved it. Isn’t it about time you treated yourself to another Chateauneuf du Pape?

You got my wife all excited with you offer of a feel me up…..Seriously Gary, how many female (or male I guess) vayniacs offer themselves to you on a daily basis…..Lizy must have a lot of faith in you 🙂
QOTD – How about a contest for the craziest Vayniac, or most dedicated vayniac or something.

How about the best “Gary Vayniac impression” video contest?
