    Great show on an interesting region.

    QOTD: Almost always and today I was trying your recently reviewed Four Vines “Naked” Chard. For 8 bones, it can’t be beat.

    Can we get the gravatars back?

    Cheers

    QOTD: Usually not. I usually watch WLTV while eating one of my two-to-three dinners for the night (I’m trying to put on some weight). But maybe 10 percent of the time I’ll be having a glass with that dinner.

    Oh yeah, while you’re getting ready for a trip to Idaho, how about going to the other state that starts with “I”? We’ve got our own Iowa grapes and Iowa wines; I wonder what you’d think (to be honest, I’m not a fan in general, but you might be).

  • QOTD: Depends on what time I watch it. Right now I’m finishing a bottle of Kalyra Pinot Grigio; my wife isn’t really helping out and so I’m polishing off most of it.

  • Jiah

  • QOTD: Definitely! I always save episodes to watch until the evening, after dinner. It’s part of the ritual for me!

    Gary- Cote Rotie sounds like another area I’ve never had but have to buy. Really great show Mr. VaynerChukin’

    QOTD- At work, no. At home, pretty much always. Tonight it is the last glass of ’03 Seghesio Zin Cortina after steak on the grill. Life is good!

    1st – Happy Birthday to GregO! Cheers Mate! {glass lifted to the North}

    2nd – Great Show Gary! As always informative and inspiring.

    3rd – Come to Buffalo, go to Ontario and I am sure we will find a way to convene a quorum of Vayniacs. Cleveland will be represented.

    4th – QOTD: more than 1/2 the time yes. Sometimes I watch while at the office, most often after the kids in bed. so yeah, wine is a factor.

    QOTD: Ususally not as I tend to watch it in the afternoon – before I normally open a bottle. Sometimes when I’m catching up on episodes on the weekend, I do get to drink wine while watching.

    Gary, Gary, Gary …

    I ALWAYS drink wine while watching WLTV. I try to make it the same region as well. PLEEEEEEASE do more advance notice of wines so we can taste them with you!!!

    On today’s show… Shame on you for stacking the deck in Guigal’s favor by making it the only 2003 in the group — tsk, tsk. I agree with your scoring of it, by the way, but the others might have shown better in ’03, too. Not only is it a better year; but it’s got a year of age on them as well.

    Also, sorry if I’m complaining, you missed a great opp by not explaining Brune et Blonde.

    Thanks for a great show — true to my name, I’m an old world fan and the Rhone seems to be the place that’s holding on to terroir better than most.

    How about a Graves (red, of course) show?
