Okay, William thanks for the encouragement, I’m 55. I think Gary is going to be surprised when he calculates the average age or median of his audience. It might be close to 40 something. Who’d have guessed.

We may not participate all that much in the web world such as myspace, but we can still bring the thunder and we aren’t afraid to purchase lots of wine!

Nice show Gary – enjoyed it!

great episode & idea, as always…note sure about the new intro (“…thunder show…”), but who cares. just got home from the hospital – shoulder surgery – and one of the first things i did was watch the episodes i missed. this took a while to type one-handed.

not that you’re likely to care, but you made the blog.

I have to hand it to you and your other wine buyers at the Wine Library. Your inventory always seems to be very unique. The best WLTV wines of yesterday and monday are not even available for sale in California, according to Wine Searcher, and yesterdays wine was only for sale in two stores accross the country.

I cooked 6 bottles of ’79 Longueville when the wine cooler went out. Ruined them completely and they had been stored perfectly after that but they got to 90º for 5 days and the corks fell apart when opened so I know you can cook wines.

Love da schwag will get the T-shirts and bottle holders for friends.

Hot wine? How appropriate!

I admire your experimental approach, and I would love to see more of it. Check out http://www.wineloverspage.com/wineadvisor/tswa010618.shtml for a similar experiment performed some years ago with a cabernet sauvignon. He was less interested in the effects of serving temperature than the effects of having previously cooked one of the wines. So he blind tasted the cooked and uncooked wines a few days after leaving one wine in a hot car all day, i.e., when both were at the same serving temperature. And he got a similar result — the heated wine seemed more mature.

All this suggests that shipping wines during the summer may not be a huge problem, provided one intends to drink the wines right away. It may produce a somewhat different wine, but not a ruined wine. On the other hand, the conventional wisdom is that a heated wine won’t age long or well. It would take a rather lengthy experiment to test that, but it would be interesting.

I was glad you mentioned that you would redo this episode because unless you live in the sahara you won’t be drinking hot wine. I would like to see you taste three wines–one was stored in the 80’s or 90’s, one in a wine cellar and one at room temperture. They would need to be stored for at least a year. Then taste them all at room temperture–BLIND. I think this will be a more meaningful test.
