A dumb Rhein king

My ears will be ringing for the rest of the day now 😀

QOTD: I would love to. They all would need to be priced at the three buck chuck range though. Maybe that should be the cork'd contest or challenge. 365 reviews. One a day for a year. The peeps that do it, they get something special.

    QOTD: No problem. Heck, I’m spoiled enough to get to try at least 20 new wines a week. It sure is wonderful to live in an area with several wine shops that have free tastings on Fridays and Saturdays.

    GV- That was some serious energy at the end. Couldnt agree with you more. Only in the last year have I found myself searching out anything I HAVENT had before and ignoring Pinot, Cabs, Chard, S. blanc for the most part as that is what I have lived on for a couple years. QOTD: I wont let you down.

    Hell Yea!! Sure you haven’t had a red bull??

  • Bill…not really, I mean I have to Baby Miller’s and I don’t go around using baby terms. And what perspective is Gary coming from here. He never used it before the ABC spot did he? I say we all go to the Dirty Jerz and beat it out of him. Then take him out to dinner and tell him it was for his own good!

  • OrionSlayer

    CHILE:
    It’s great how you review so many different wines. You usually cover the topic of my monthly wine tasting group before we meet. Thanks for the great ideas.

    Thanks for answering my Rombauer question! It’s like going to the Windows site, posting a question and having Bill Gates answer you. Gary’s the greatest!

    QOTD: 365 bottle in the next year. Yeah!!! Shoot, I’m going to have to buy a bigger wine fridge now!!!

  • wolfie

    um, did you just condone microwaving wine? 😀

    qotd: i’d be 400 lbs. and broke. but what the hell…

    I accept. And I have been trying a new wine everyday since May. It has been glorious. Not because I am half drunk every night, but because it makes me feel ALIVE and part of the universe.

    i really enjoyed this episode and it’s definitly time to thank Gary for his daily hard work. Guess many people don’t have a clue what it means to be live on air with a daily authentic show and serious wine-tastings while having a job to do, that easily fills you up with 14 hours working. So, to you Gary, my great respect for what your are doing.

  • RandyB

    The thunder was so loud my computer was jumping all over my desk. Man, it’s tough to pretend to be listening to a prospective client or a phone call from the home front when the computer is smokin.

    Great week of WLTV!

    QOTD: I may try 365 different wines this year, but not from separate bottles that I purchased.

  • I felt the thunder today! That couch must have some special powers.

    Great show. I’m going to pick up the first 2 wines you reviewed. Great taste and good price how can you beat that.

    It may be hard to buy 365 wines within the next year since I technically don’t have any income coming in but what the heck we’ll give it a run.

  • Let it be known that Laid Back Friday has arisen. Sort of like Easter for WLTV, but not really.

    Wow, all of the sudden Gary turned into the guy that used to (or maybe he still does) sell sports memorabilia on late night cable TV. The first two Chilean wines sound pretty good GV but I was very glad to hear you sort of calling out Chile on its undeserved rep. What else…oh yeah, I was also very glad to hear that Cork’d is going to improve. I use it and it’s OK for me but I’m a newbie and I never have more than like 40 bottles at one time but even I can tell it would be severely lacking for someone with an extensive cellar. Can’t wait to see the improvements. Finally, 365 bottles in 365 days? My wife doesn’t particularly like wine so I guess I’ll have to start drinking for two now.

    Chile? Not really – just a little cold.
    Great eppy, as usual.
    Chile is moving up. Used to be watery insipid wines. Now, much greater depth.

  • Chris (formerly the UES lurker

    A lurker since #122, but I just have to give GV props for the intensity. The only way to taste 365 wines in a year is off-lines. I’m a bit surprised that WL hasn’t realized the value add they could bring by taking a more proactive role in facilitating such events in the NY/NJ region. Sooner or later they’ll come around.
