    QOTD: Usually I catch the show in the afternoon, but occasionally I’ll save one up for the evening and sip wine during. Several times, however, your show has left craving a specific type or style of wine. . . and that’s what I end up pulling out later. 🙂

    Awesome show…love that you are trying different cheeses too! Kewl aspect!
    Never have tried Cote Rotie but I can seek out the lesser priced one to start!! all it takes is one to get you hooked!

    QOTD: 75% of the time I open a bottle, but its not as good as what you try. Just having a Petit Bistro Pinot Noir now. Smooth but nothing fancy!

    Will start scouring the area for Thundercats!!!!

    QOTD: Usually not at first, but by the first or second bottle in, you have me pulling a bottle out almost every time!

    GV: If you come to Canada, make sure you come to Montreal. Forget those other Canadian cities, Montreal is where it’s at for fooding, copious wine consumption, and everything else worth doing. If you like foie gras, check out ‘Au Pied du Cochon’ (http://www.restaurantaupieddecochon.ca/). The place is infamous for it.

  • David M Roberts

    QOTD: Amazingly, no – It’s usually a dry run here, with juice consumption served before bed as a nightcap while watching “The Daily Show” or whatever else is on the tube (Conan re-runs?….).

    Great and informative show! Thanks for the 411 on Cote Rotie.

    Have family in Idaho – you’ll have to mention which city you’ll be in… there are only about two to choose from in that state!

    I almost forgot my QOTD for you:

    I saw Tim’s write up and pics from the Napa trip in the forums (GV – way to do a Vayniac right, Tom F – way to represent!) notable was the most curious absence of Lizzie in the pics, as such, please chose below:

    1) Exceedingly camera shy
    2) A closet vampire (did she make a cameo in the intro under the veil of darkness?)
    3) In the witness protection program as a material witness to an incident involving the CHP and an un-named Jet’s loving, champagne sippin’, wine-rating, Thundercat-begging, net-loving, wine vlogging dude who is changing the wine world with his little itty bit (or something like that).
    4) All of the above

    Great show! I’ll be picking up a couple bottles of the Guigal with my next order.

    One more query, Tom F. instead of Tim F. in my last post?

    A)Sour grapes Freudian slip
    B)”O” and “I” are adjacent to each other on the keyboard(and we all know what they say about big fingers)
    C)Laptop keyboard
    D)Sun was in my eyes and I tripped over a rock

    Thanks for playing.

    Nice, Cote Rotie is quickly becoming one of my favorite regions.

    QOTD: Being on the west coast, I usually watch the show at work. I do need to open a bottle and catch up on some missed episodes though.

    Gary,
    I just discovered WLTV last week while vacationing in Napa and am absolutely delighted with your videos and insight. I am a relative newcomer to wine, still trying to taste enough to even know what it is that I like or dislike; your videos have demystified for me the things I’ve read but only partially understood in WS and similar magazines. Yesterday I watched the two episodes of your visit to Bordeaux and found them fascinating and especially informative. I am looking forward to future episodes!
    Thanks,
    -j

    QOTD – Almost always no. I just don’t really drink while staring at a computer screen. Once we get the WLTV DVDs I’ll start drinking while watching.

    Great show, I’ve always wanted to try a Cote Rotie but just found it a bit too expensive.

    QOTD: Nope, haven’t done that yet.

    Those wines look and sound amazing, gotta get me some of that love.
    Gary, L.A., Saturday night, don’t be tired, there’s too much wine to drink.
    QOTD: Never, always watch it at work. Even though we do drink wine at the end of the day at work sometimes, I’ve always watched by then.

    Cheers!

  • Screwtop

    QOTD: Only once out of maybe 7 or 8 shows. Also, did go out and buy a bottle and re-watch a segment.

    FYI: per wikipedia, “On June 5, 2007 it was announced that Warner Bros. have optioned the rights to make a CGI animated feature film based on the ThunderCats cartoon. It will be an origin story expanding on the events of the first episode.[1]” Better buy your dolls before the market bumps.

    I drink more times than not while watching WLTV.

  • Paul M

    A Cote Rotie episode, I have been waiting for this since the start of WLTV!! I have spent $50 plus on wines, so it is not the cost, but for some reason have just never pulled the trigger on a Cote Rotie. I am now motivated to try one.

    QOTD: not normally, I tend to watch stop-and-go while I am putting the kids to bed
