“Like a 3 year old pooped Jalepenos and cabbage” – hahah awesome. but i DIG old school riojas too. Nice work, its good to see someone who ACTUALLY understands and appreciates the elegance and uniqueness of traditional rioja. Thanks Gary!

Iâ??m trying my first nebbiolo as I rewatch this episode. Itâ??s 2005 Rocca Felice Neddiolo dâ??Alba. I like it a lot. Iâ??ve been trying a lot of varietals for the first time and noting the ones I really like. The list says dolcetto, barbera and nebbiolo. Am I crazy or is there a pattern here. It appears that my palate is telling me to buy more Italian wine. None of these had any detectable oak. I hope the Oakmon doesnâ??t get pissed that Iâ??m spending more time without him.

hahaha at the Iron Sheik reference. You cant go a week without a wrestling comment or two, can you? I love the Iron Sheil though. Absolute nut. The Martey Janetty stories alone….. Great episode, too. I like these kinds of topics other that just “wine from here.” QOTD: Blue.

What about that brown ridge around the red wine in a glass? It doesn’t definitively tell you anything, but it often is a good presager (is that a word?) of oxidation isn’t it?

One heck of an educationa on colors….but brownish tint means the wine is oxidised or heading to that direction right?

QOTD: Started with Green then moved to Blue…. 🙂

Great episode. I love it when you say, “This smells like a 3-year-old pooped jalepenos. And I like it!” There better be a LOT of other smells in there is you like it….

QOTD: Blue. It isn’t close, since I am moderately red/green colorblind.

qotd Green as well

This is one of the most interesting topics I've seen you do on the show Gary. Love that you used the 2 Chablis's as examples. However I can't believe you'd compare a nebbiolo to a Rioja for this episode, that seems to me like comparing the aging differences in lemons vs. peaches. Also while I believe some people go to far when they are using a wine's color as a measurement for quality and age, I think for you to say “that a wine's color has no impact on the aging and quality”, is just as unreasonable. It can definitely give you an idea, but like anything else it has to be taken into conjunction with everything else in the wine. I was really surprised to hear you say that.

GARY! When are you coming to Virginia Tech?! You said “if you see 5-6 people from the same college” comment, you would come…. where are you?! Love, the CKC

Gary! Where you at!? I thought you said you were gonna come to VT! You know we would love to meet ya

favorite color: yellow! I love your videos! I’m so glad I learned about you through my Wine class at Virginia Tech. Bring the thunder to our lecture sometime this semester please!!! Hey, you could even film a show live there! I think it’s an excellent idea. Anyway, thanks for all the help with deciphering wine. I can definitely impress my grandpa now!

Come on, two beautiful ladies practically begging you to come see them? How are you not gonna come give us one little lecture?

haha your descriptions are priceless

CKC VT

COME TO VIRGINIA TECH!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

I’ve got the lightning, you bring the thunder. Let’s make it rain on Virginia Tech, Gary!

Come to Virginia Tech!!!!

you def need to come to va tech

does the sign “soon 20 days” answer the question of when you are coming to VT??

It would be interesting to test the wine samples with an optical sensor to get objective color readings. Do you know where there are a lot of color sensors? Virginia Tech 🙂

You know who else likes the New York Jets? Virginia Tech. The Boyer Wine class will all be wearing green when St. Patrick’s Day comes along.

COME TO VIRGINIA TECH!!

There is a school that loves Gary V
Full of Vayniacs and CKC’s
It’s time you say “well what the heck”
and come visit us at Virginia Tech

What is orange, maroon, and has hokies all over? VAA TECHHH!!

Heyo Gary! You need to make a trip to Virginia Tech! I’m really loving your videos and even the simplest bits of knowledge that I get from your videos make me seem like an expert around my friends! I’m a marketing major too so I’d really love it if you came down and spoke at our Geography of Wine class! Hope all’s well!

Football season may be for natty light, but springtime is wine time at Virginia Tech!
