Yo G.V

Nice episode. I´ve completely changed my mind on Rhone the last year and a 03 Guigal Saint Joseph Vigne de l´Hospice was the wine that did it.

QotD : I most often do. The last wine I had with some Gary V. was 05 Tim Adams Semillion. To young, oaky and disjointed. Not like you at all 🙂

If we share some vino in the city you´ll def. get my Thundercats. And how about that link ?

qotd: eh, depends. i’d say only about 25% of the time. the best is when i’m not drinking anything while watching, but get inspired so i pause the show and run and crack something.

no never have

Gary, great episode,
QOTD- I wasn’t drinking wine but I was eating some stinky french brie and honey goat cheese on crackers while watching today. I usually only drink and watch on friday’s, I love to see that leather couch.

GV,
QOD – Always.
Currently I’m drinking Cain Cuvee #4 & I’m not crazy about it.
Funky, off balance, not good.

QOTD: rarely. It does make me wish I was, though. 😉

Day 5 of the Port Show Request Post in. It’s lonely on the Post-in couch here. Port drinkers! Request a port show! Just write “port post in” at the bottom of your post. WHO’S WITH ME?!

Great show. Again, out of our price range.

qotd: Absolutely, always. Today, Zinfandel and Gewurztraminer to start – Carl and Cathy respectively.

QOTD: Of course I’m drinking wine while I’m watching WLTV—that’s what it’s all about, right?

Also, I’m very impressed by Fairview’s Goat Roti as a low-cost alternative to genuine Cote Rotie (which is even more expensive here in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts.) Nice bacon fat action!

Q.O.D. – Not usually because i’m on west coast time and try to catch the show as soon as it airs….but i have before and it just feels right!!!!!!!

QOTD: Many times, GV. Actually, it doesn’t matter what I’m sipping on- I swirl it and taste along- 🙂

I loved the comment about the cheese coming in neutral ’cause it was from Switzerland. I almost spit out my beer…which brings me to the

QOTD: I usually enjoy a nice cold one after work, which is when the newest eps. of WLTV are available, so I don’t normally drink wine while watching. Though it has happened from time to time. I normally drink wine from dinner-time on, which is usually around 8:00 for me.

Weeee. I think this is my 2nd comment. 🙂 Watching the show right now.. I looove the Rhone Valley, i’ve never tried a Cote Rotie… But I’ll try some soon…

So any LA vayniacs here want to get together Sat night??? Gary would the forum be a better place to discuss a meet for Sat night? Or Sun lunch. Hope everyone is doing well out there..

Welcome back, Gman, the “family” missed you as well.

Still trying to come up with something unique for an intro, but I’m good for it, eventually. Better I owe it to you than cheat you out of it.

However, I can’t really focus when distracted by the sweat running down my wrist, ahem.

Brandon M., sounds like you better get used to the Thundercats.

I also jumped on an auction of Thundercats, won it but the seller is traveling so it may be awhile until you see them. I sent you the link in case the seller is swallowed by a sink hole or something….. oh joy, more email! Better I owe them it you than cheat you out of it

Day late and a dollar short on the advise to Jen, Vayner, well at least she got an In-and-out out of the deal.

QOTD: Why, of course, do you think I post such astutue thought provoking comments without an assist? (Better I owe it to you than cheat you out of it)

qotd-rarely

QOTD-Yes, several times a week, whenever I watch the episode after dinner. Thanks for the info on Cote Rotie

Patrick Ewing….did I hear you say that #33 was underated?…
Finally a foray into the great white north, let me know if you need any help getting something set up….we hope to see you on Sept 29th as well in Buffalo!
QOTD – As often as I can…I usually watch when I get home so it gives me an excuse to pop a bottle.

Really interesting episode, Gary. I did a blind Syrah tasting for some friends a few weeks ago, and we did both the 2003 Brune et Blonde from Guigal, as well as his St. Joseph’s of the same year. They were a great deal at Wine Library, but alas, the Brune et Blonde had not survived. I left it in anyway, so people could see what a wine gone bad tasted like, and in the end it placed near the bottom of our rankings. People were awfully surprised that the $20 St. Joseph’s outperformed it so much. Seeing this really makes me wish we had been able to see the Cote Rotie really shining through. Ah well, next time.

QOTD: I’ve never drunk wine while watching WLTV, mostly because I don’t like sitting in front of my computer while drinking. Maybe someday.

I tried e-mailing you about your visit to Los Angeles, but I got the away auto-response. Maybe commenting will be more effective.

Bottle Rock (http://bottlerock.net/)

They’ll open anything as long as you order two glasses and they charge wine store prices, so it’s the polar opposite of Bin 8945. They don’t have much in the way of food, but there’s plenty of places to grab a bite in walking distance. Good public parking too.

QOTD: I usually watch WLTV in the afternoon while I working, so I do not imbibe along the show.

Cote Rôtie!! I’ve died and gone to heaven! GV, thank you thank you!

QOTD: No drinking and watching as of yet. Or course, being in Cali I get the video early in the day. But it always reminds me to open a good bottle for dinner!

QOTD: Yes, I drink while I’m watching WLTV, and also when I’m not watching : – )

Gary,
I usually eat dinner or drink a glass of wine with the show. Your show is alot less karma damaging than the nightly news.

QOTD: Hey Gary, I thought drinking wine while watching your show was a requirement. I thought if I wasn’t drinking wine the Vayniac Police would show up and take my whine away! 😉

Great episode, and coincidence of coincidences, I had the 2003 Brune et Blonde the other day, and agreed with Gary 100%. Anyone in the Boston area, Legal Sea Foods carries the 2003 Brune et Blonde on their list for $59. That’s right, $59. You’re all welcome.
