GV,

Did you know that you say “Let’s give it a whirl” when you taste and (note with the White Zin) you say “Let’s give this a taste” when you whirl/smell it.

Sorry, I’m annoyingly attentive to detail.

QOTD: Viv

QFGV: We need a pic St. Loup episode and an Aligoté episode (not to mention, still, the Côte de Nuits). When we gettin’ ’em?

“Clef Du Vin” just turns me on…………….. biggest lurker is Paris Hilton – she thinks your hot – true story.

Was that Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ in the background? I hope this wasn’t the last episode ever. Thanks for the episode. It’s great to be back.

GV- Thanks for the heads up on the 100 dollar piece of copper- its a paZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz for me. QOTD: my girlfriend. She sits next to me and watches every episode with me. Has she delurked? Once, maybe twice. Disappointing.

Michael Bolton: You think the pet rock was a really great idea?
Tom Smykowski: Sure it was. The guy made a million dollars.

not suprising to see you pazzzzz on the clef du vin i didnt have to much hope for it. never the less im glad to see you put it through the motions.
QOTD-dont really know any lurkers per se but i did recently introduce my sister to the show hopefully shes been watching the last couple days and will see this and it will inspire her to post. do it sara do it.

QOTD: My wife. HIYO!

That will be a big pazzzz for me as well.

QOTD: Lurkers… We don’t need no stinkin’ lurkers.

Great show today, I don’t think I will be buying the wine key.
QOTD: I don’t know any lurkers.
P.S. nice wristband

Of course, having two different vintages of the same wine and ‘aging’ one to the ‘age’ of the other might prove instructive (just barely). Good ep, GV.
QOTD: don’t know any.

I dipped a penny in a glass i’m drinking right now, and it had the exact
effect you describe…but mine was a hell of a lot cheaper.
oh,…copper has always been known effect alcohol in some weird way. who hasn’t herd the o’l put a penny in your mouth if you get pulled over trick??

I’m elated the Berringer White Zin didn’t rule the trio, I’m still having nightmares over that Franzia best of show.

Hey, if the treated Beer-ringer “tastes so good” after a 50 sec immersion, and the bottle is $4.20, and the wine mood-ring is 100 bones, and I’m averaging $35 per bottle I can break even and start reaping $’s after 3 1/2 bottles….. oh wait, life is too short to be drinking crap gimmicked up wine isn’t it?

Okay yesterday was seeped wine, today was the 00’s equivalent of 70’s Boones Farm, can we expect pig vomit on the couch tomorrow?

You’re certainly dying for our sins…… hey, anybody in for a W.W.G.D. wrist band?

Instant Classic!
Wine Magnets/Copper thingys and White Zin Tasting…..that made my day.
One of the most entertaining eps by far bro.
Well done!
QOTD: my buddy down here that owns a wine shop

Last lurker I was aware of was myself.

I haven’t done a lot of research but I found this tidbit (first google result):

The Clef du Vin also acts on the aromatic components: the esters, ketones, aldehydes and on the tannins.

The aromatic components are “protected”, “inhibited” by sulphured components (atoms of sulphur “S”), very sensible to oxidation.

The Clef du Vin acts in a similar way on the aliphatic chains by modifying the simple connections of carbon, sulphur and hydrogen.

…

It’s apparently multiple metals. Any metallurgists out there with access to a mass spectrometer?

I think I may try a similar test with an old penny. There are other concepts whereby you can strip some electrons away. Massive magnets? Radiation?

So, the other day I was visiting someone and they were storing a red wine in the fridge. She took it out, plopped it in a coffee cup and microwaved it for 12 seconds. She then poured it into a glass and handed it to me. It was kind of crap wine anyway, but I wonder if this caused any changes in the wine…

Unreal episode. They really know how to market Americans don’t they, we’re so impatient now their coming up with ways to insto-age wine (conjecturely speaking). That thing reminds me of some bad device which supposedly saves you from a DUI if you suck on it as the Officer walks to your car.
QOTD: I know a lurker named Darin, he introduced me to WLTV but he’s too L.A. and cool to post comments. What a heal.

Hey Lb in KS, I think you might be referring to me. Thanks for “friending me up”!

QOTD: My husband is a major lurker. I really need to work on that.

QOTD: My fiance Ben was a major lurker until yesterday, when he finally commented. So now I don’t know any lurkers.

GV,
Glad you did the Montelena, I’m planning on having this for a dinner party. Seems like a good choice. I’ll pass on the CDV.
QOTD: Don’t know any lurkers.

Okay too strange…Sticking metal in wine. As for people suggesting put a penny in your mouth of glass of wine, have you seen where those things get stuck.

QOTD: Just caught a lurker behind episode 138, up at the top of the screen on the right. Run off before I could get the needed info.

Great episode today! You need to bring a bottle of that Burg with you to Napa.

FWIW — I always thought flabby and acidic were opposites.

QOTD: I have no idea.

Great episode Gary! I had heard and read about the Clef du Vin and wondered what the hype was all about. You proved that it really is nothing but weird science. True aging has to happen in the bottle. There is no substitute for that.

QOTD: I was the only major lurker that I knew of.

Thanks for the discounted schwag!!!!!!!

Kudos for the best debunking episode. Great show.
