  • wannaBconnoisseur

    Great week of shows, just got caught up!!

    QOTD: Used to be 99.9% red, these days it’s more like 70-red, 30-white, largely due to WLTV helping me expand my horizons. Thanks GV!!

    I tend to drink about 85% dry red, 10% dry white and about 5% mixed desert wines (mainly sauternes, auslese and port).

  • I’m probably 75/25 in favor of reds. At home I’m about 50/50 since I eat more white wine friendly food. When I go out and order wine, I’ve gotta be at least 90/10 reds.

  • Freddy

    75/25 looking at the whole year.
    would love to see sir gary and “jerk-off” gary square off in a french vs rest of the world varietal tasting.
    given that this might cause some severe psychological damage, i’ll settle for seeing how sir gary ranks the rhone, loire, bordeaux and burgundy wines against each other. could imagine him reveling in the pinot and the bordeaux, while he pumps the loire whites through his bidet.

  • Jerry the 2THDR

    Thanks for doing the Corton tasting that I have been waiting for since Wine Library TV started. I’m still looking for one that has a viscous mouth feel. Please let me know if you run across one. QOTD: At home its 50-50. My wife puts out a glass for me when I arrive home.She alternates the reds and the whites. It takes me 3 days to knock off a bottle. She only drinks a little because she knows her place. When we go to a restaurant that allows me to bring my own wine its almost only red; better chance for a match up. When we go with others I bring both. I usually bring wine for the owner of the restaurant. Its usually at least 10 years old but not my A list stuff. Jerry the 2THDR. I was away Friday so didnot see this until late Sunday.

  • QOTD: Right now I’d say I’m pretty close to 50-50, mostly because I’m going through a pretty strong Viognier phase right now, and also rediscovering Petite Arvine. Usually it’s probably closer to 70% red 30% white, or 80% red 20% white during the winter.

  • QOTD: I’d say 75-25 red-white. I’d drink more whites, but most of the family likes the reds. And I really like the pretentious Gary.

    Finally got to watch. Been a long time since I had any Corton Charlemagne. Perhaps you needed to add a comment regarding vintage?

    QOTD: About 70% red, 20% white, 5% rose, 5% bubbly, on average. More white and rose in summer, more red in winter.

    Gary….dude. I had no clue..I just got caught up with the shows. If it matters…whenever you are successful people are going to dig on your success. Some try to leach from it, and others try to down it (listen to me talking like I’ve actually got experience in it…HA!) I want to say that I love sending new wine lovers to this site…have a ball with it and thanks for the fun!
