Nice one Gary!!! I’ve been wondering about unoaked chards and you were on point with this show!! QOTD— Wine with food 90% of the time at dinner time especially. I arrange my entree around the wine that I’ll be having,always!!

Thanks,

Joe

Funny, I just had the Four Vines Naked a week ago.
Good value for the money, but………I find all of these wines to be like 160 pound ballerinas, they just don’t have anywhere near the finesse or grace of the 95 pound model. After a glass or so you get tired of trying to lift them up.
Also, at 28 bones for the Caymus, there are about 300 French whites you could have instead.
Good episode though, I really cant wait for California to get these wines right.

50% 50%

Awesome show. I really appreciated learning about the unoaked chardonnays. Unfortunately, though, the show cut off about 6 minutes before the end. Missed the QOTD.

QOTD: 65% with food 35% without

QOTD: 100% with food. Sometimes with as little as cheese and crackers but never alone. Like making love. Can be done alone; but so much better with a woman. So why do it any other way? Jerry the 2THDR

Great show. VEEEEEEEEERY interesting!
QOTD: 85% w/ food 15% w/o food

qotd: 99.99% with food.

GAry, the Kim Crawford Unoaked Chard led me to the NZ Sauvignon Blancs which I now adore and are hands down my favorite whites. Thanks for the e mail. The more mango the better as I am also a mango-head

QOTD: 75% with, 25% without

I am a HUGE bouquet fan, Gary! As a matter of fact, I am usually the only one at a wine tasting that does a long sniffy-sniff before tasting the wine. If they only knew what they were missing…

QOTD: About 95% with food, and 5% without. I strongly believe that the right wine really kicks up the flavors in a meal. Food also helps it not go to my head quite as fast…

Great show!

Great show, looking forward to trying the Four Vines.

QOTD: I’m a “with food” sorta bloke. Not including the wine I drink after the meal is over, I’d say 90% with & 10% without.

QOTD-100% of wine I start with food: 45% I finish with Food, 65% I sip long after the food is gone!

Great show Gary-good fun and educational.

Beautiful show Gary! More to add to the list of wines to try this year…365.
QOTD: wine had with food = 85%

QOTD: 85% with food, however i would like to increase the percentage of no food, as in a good glass of dessertwine on its own. Perhaps when my kids get past the baby-era.

I actually met one really old-school wine-buff oenologue professor a couple of weeks ago. He claimed not to be ostentious about wine but he was an example of the definition of a wine-snob. He had never used Intenet but still thought that it was a bad place for experiencing wine. I instantly turned into an hermit. We’re changing the wine world.

WOOOOOW. I take off for a day and come back to over 400 comments on WLTV.

QOTD: 50/50. I love wine. I love food. I love wine with food. I love food with wine. I love wine without food. I love food without wine (Still looking for that good pairing with scrambled eggs. just kidding). I think that the two go hand in hand and have the ability to bring out the best in each other.

Good show Gary,

Wine with food 95% of the time, and I have wine at dinner 80% of the time. Actually, if I am drinking wine, I’m going to have a snack; especially if I’m tasting several wines.

Hehehe… when I saw the title for the show, the first thing that came to mind was “Naked Grape Wines”: http://www.nakedgrape.ca/ 🙂 Thanks for yet another awesome show Gary!

QOTD: 75% with food; 25% on its own. The ratio shifts depending on the time of the year, as I drink more white wine on its own during the warmer weather.

Sorry I am late to the game G!
I had to be on the road for work…….

QOTD: 75% food, 25% with out

Almost all my wine is without food. Even when I have wine with food, I taste the wine alone before the meal.

QOTD: 70% with food, 30% without food

Probably 90% without food.

QOTD: Typically, 100% of Chardonnay with food, though I enjoy un-oaked chardonnays alone. Otherwise only 30% with food, 70% without.

Great to see naked chardonnays shining and making a great splash! Wonderful show.

Gary–Hope you and Tim F are having a wonderful time in Napa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
