Great episode homeboy.
Of course i know nada about sea smoke, so this was great fun for moi.
QOTD: Doing a barolo tasting this weekend.
Two Barolos from opposite ends of the Barolo region.
Amazing experience….one is super rich and powerfull….one is more floral/perfume.

Gosh wine iz fun…..

(and i’ll be buying a few bottles of this Luigi Pira Barolo Marenca for ye olde fridge. Yum.)

Had an old 96 blah chianti.

Okay, Okay…stop harassing us lurkers. Yes, you have a great video blog. Yes, your are extremely informative. And yes, you reply to emails with lightening speed. There….happy now? Sheesh. 😉

Good stuff, Gary.

Hi Gary
Just got back from the weekend and watched the friday show . Nice
I drank some mighty fine Bloody Marys. What can I say it was that kind of weekend. Doctored them up and they were good.

Had a 2004 Au Vignobles and was surprised how much I liked it.

Gary,
That was a truly great episode. You really dug into the Sea Smoke, and I felt I was right there too. And your party suggestions at the end: I love the cooking together idea. I have a new house with a big kitchen, so I’m going to use it for that. Great idea! The energy was spot on, the focus, everything. Well done. Excellent show.

HI gARY. wE LOVE YOU IN cHICAGO

Gary, I’ve enjoyed your last three episodes. What I enjoy the is your awesome descriptions of what you smell and taste with each wine. Your last episode on the Sea Ghost Pinot Noir’s was very good. I’d love to get my hands on them. I’ll have to see what I can do.

Your shows are entertaining and knowledgable.

Thanks for creating WLTV.

Great…I’m wiping the egg off my face. Sea Ghost!!!!!Sea Smoke. Yes I was paying attention. I don’t know why I have Sea Ghost in my mind.

My apology to you Gary.

Hi Gary. Great show. We love you in Chicago

Nice episode. I think it will be one of those that I will go back to and watch over and over. I especially liked the rant at the end.

This Saturday my dad, brother, and I had a late lunch at Pappa’s Seafood Restaurant. We had a Castle Rock Pinot Noir 2006. I enjoyed the wine very much (will seek it out), but even more, I enjoyed the moment that I shared with my bro and dad. I can’t remember when we’ve had time to get together, have a nice lunch, and BS. Wine is ment to be enjoyed with friends and family.

Brilliant GV, now I really can’t wait to bust into my allocation.

QOTD: Paylmeyer Chardonnay, a lot going on in this bottle.

According to their website the Seasmoke Southing is available locally. I’ll have to get there first thing in the morning to see if any is left. Very enjoyable show, Gary. Great enthusiasm- like Parker, but without a coat and tie. So far, not much to disagree with ratings-wise. (That includes Mollydooker.) What I had this weekend was a ’99 Guigal Cote-Rotie Brune et Blonde (with blue-cheese burgers) and a 2002 Verget Vaillons Chablis (with scallops and angel-hair pasta.) Wouldn’t want to hold either one much longer. Tomorrow (today, now) is our anniversary. My wife makes a great coq-a-vin, and I will open a ’96 Laurent Gevrey-Chambertin VV. I’ve been a looker but not long enough to be a lurker. So, now I have officially left a comment.

OK, I’ll try this again. My very first post seems to have disappeared.
The Sea Smoke Southing is available locally. I will have to try to get it before it disappears. This week-end I had a ’99 Guigal Cote-Rotie (with blue-cheese burgers) and a 2002 Verget Chablis Vaillons (with scallops and angel-hair pasta.) Tomorrow (today, actually), for our anniversary my wife will make coq-a-vin and I will open a ’96 Laurent Gevrey-Chambertin VV. I have been a looker but not long enough to be a lurker. This post will make it official. Great enthusiasm, Gary-like RP but without a coat and tie.

Sweet Ep., VaynerKing. I always like a little reference to appreciating wine in a realistic, laid-back way among good friends over boasting about a never-tasted collection in an untouchable cellar. Cheers.

QOTD: This weekend it was Capçanes Mas Donís Barrica 2004 Montsant. Great bang for the buck.

QOTD: BIG wine weekend coming up. two nights of dinners / bottle party. old cahors, some bordeaux, and a bottle of Bollinger waiting in the cellar. woo hoo!

super great to see a show on sea smoke. it seams that they don’t ship it to france, but i look for them when i go back to the states.

Loved the show I have only been able to read about these wines.

QOTD: I think we will be having some Spanish wines & maybe one from Prioriat

great stuff!! will (did) drink a couple of different Davis Family Vineyard wines; the Dutton Ranch Chard 04; spectacular blend of oaked/unoaked fruit; and their 04 Pinot; easily as good as the Sea Smoke (have had both); and although not easy to get—-still can through the vineyard—and Guy Davis and his family are great people!

Perfect episode – very informative (for the wine-geeks) but nice and laid back.

Gary – I don’t mean to be picky but…I really like the sentiment of “changing the wine world whether YOU like it or not”; knowing full well that the “YOU” is the stodgy, uptight, wine snobs – but since you are talking to the Vanyiacs inclusively (“WE’re changing the wine world..”)I think it would be helpful to be, “changing the wine world whether THEY like it or not.” Sorta presenting a united front AGAINST them. I dunno….maybe I am being too picky…

QOTD: Nuthin’ 2…yes TWO family reunions monopolized my weekend.

Awesome show. I’m not a lurker!

This weekend I drank a 32-ounce Lager on draught while enjoying Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Twas fun. (Though maybe I should have brought a bottle of wine with me).

We brown bagged it this weekend! Awesome. Pallet validation was in the house. Guess what? We were able to pick the ‘good stuff’ most of the time!

why really rate/put a # to wines…you know what i mean!

also nice episode on seasmoke i’m fortunate to be on the mailing list, but… being from san fran you mentioned the niners and giants, the “jets” please gary know your sports.

love your show

Lurker for about 6 months…checkin’ in. Hastings, FL in the hizzy.

Lurker no more

Great show Gary. You convinced me to come out of the shadows. Can we get a ruling on whether the second wine you tasted is pronounced Sooth-ing (as you did) or South-ing, which would have been my guess?
