Cote Rotie rocks!!

I watch WLTV late in the evening (10-11 PM), so mostly I drink my wine before that…
Cheers..

A wild boar! Nice. Yum gamy! Coming to Boise huh. Wish I could make it there but it’s like a 6hr drive! Enjoy Idaho G!

Who doesn’t drink wine while watching (

Yes, let’s hope so. I seem to have ended up with the Jets DST in my draft, plus this blond fella … Penningford? Pennebaker? What’s his name again?

I hate it when you really love a wine like that Guigal, because I know it’ll be all gone by the time I get around to watching the show.

That last wine didn’t look too blanc to me.

I’ve had Goat-Roti, but not Cote-Rotie. I have, however, had Idaho riesling. Yes, it smelled like potatoes. Yes, it was better than I expected.

QOD: yes. Not ALWAYS, but yes. In fact, right now I’m enjoying goat cheese pizza with this:

I can’t believe it’s not Gamay!

Love that stinky cheese and old world wines. What’s with the new sign off? Sounds confrontational. What happened to “a little bit of me”?

QOTD; if my schedule allows it, I try to have a glass of wine while watching WLTV. Tonight I am drinking the Nimbus Sauv. Blanc that you reccomended with inexpensive goat cheese & a mixture of fresh herbs from the garden. The rosemary thyme and basil are good with the wine, but the dill & sage are good with the cheese, but they make the wine bitter. I am still training my palate, I have found some winners some losers, but mostly I am having fun.

I’d be honored to host a Sunday afternoon tasting for the Vayniacs at my place in LA!!! Can we make it happen?

QOTD: Usually I’m watching at work, but if I can wait until I get home then I’ve got a glass next to me for sure. Lately it’s been the outstanding QPR T. Solomon Wellborn Pinot Noir (second label from Tantara) that I bought a case of for $17/bottle. The bouquet is EXPLOSIVE! It would be a Gary V fave for sure.

I’ve never had a Cote-Rotie, but I’ve been wanting to, may have to splurge on the Guigal.

Q – Usually drinking something when I watch in the evening, not always wine though, sometimes a cocktail or beer.

QOTD: I usually watch WLTV after dinner and thus after wine. But I drink one Kirkland bottled water while I watch and I find myself chewing and rolling the water around in my mouth in synch with the tastings. The advantage I have is I don’t have to spit it out.

QOTD: I don’t think I’ve ever actually had any wine while I’m watching the show. Sad.

Gotta say I’m a new addict. Love ya love the show!

QOTD: This is my second show. First show, it was a mixed drink. Tonight, a syrah. Both times, I got off work and just NEEDED to sit down and have a GOOD laugh. DONE! I’m feeling a routine coming on.

Thanks a ton!

As a proud disciple of the church of Vaynerchuk it would be an honor to meet up in LA! Keep us posted about where and when. Great show today Gary! Way to bring the thunder!

QOTD: I drink wine before and during my evening meal. Then I watch TV and fall asleep. When I wake up (9-10PM) I go the the computer for e-mails and news. I get to WLTV between 11 and 12 and drink only water to stay alert for your gems of wisdom. Jerry the 2THDR

QOTD: Only if I watch right after dinner. Not that often.

Looking forward to Cote Roties. I want to know what liquid bacon fat tastes like.

QOTD: Sure, sometimes.

Hey Gary, I too am a yard sale/auction/estate sale guy. I’m curious to know what’s your biggest find at a sale? Not necessarily the craziest thing but biggest value?

Thanks for mentioning the good and bad vintages for the Cote Roties, you should keep doing it on the days your do single varietals. As always, you rock! Got my bottles for the TASTE-ALONG next week, so you’ll have at least one Arizonan (and a couple of his buddies) watchin’ along and tastin’ along!!

I am going to go this weekend and look for some of these wines in town. There are a couple of stores in town that should carry at least one of them.

QOTD: I don’t usually drink wine while I watch, because I watch very late at night, and then go straight to bed. Not much time to devote to the bottle.

Hey Gary! Wonderful to see the Cote Rotie show!

You recommended the Le Gallet Blanc to me just before the April Chicago party and it rocked my Cote Rotie snob friends!

On the Guigal 2003 Cote Rotie – glad I ordered a case from you earlier in June and it’s contently cushioned in your storage for shipping this fall!

Cheers and kudos to a great episode!

QOD – I rarely drink wine while watching WLTV.

Cheers!

Claudio

QOTD : I would like to every time but do only about 30% of the time .

G

LA Sat or Sunday? My girlfriend and I would like to be part of a get together if one happens!

Thanks for the Cote Rotie! awesome!
QOTD: 50% of the time, I’ll be drinking wine with WLTV. MOST 0f the time, I’m pulling out my credit card instead!

First time post! Bit ashamed, as I’ve been watching for like 6 months now…

QOTD – Yep, its a habit I started months ago. I start watching 1/2 hour before bed, and have a glass of wine. I rarely drink wine with meals, prefer to just concentrate on the wine alone – unless its a steak, then pairing it with a nice Cabernet can bring tears to my eyes 🙂

QOTD: Almost all the time… right now trying the Red Heads 2005 “Yard Dog” Petit Verdot/Merlot/Cab from S.E. Australia. 15.0% alcohol… it burns! It’s a dark one, and the nose is pretty nice, but the alcohol pretty much eviscerates the fruit.

I’m interested to see what you’d think on wines from us Canadians…

So I hear you are coming up for the Jets/Buffalo game. Any plans to go out in Buffalo??

That first cheese tasting face was one of Gary’s best ever!

QOTD: I have done it before!

G- You hate my Niners because they know how to beat your Jets asses. You better watch the smack on SF teams, otherwise someone might replace your Araujo with Two Buck the next time you’re hanging near the Bay.

QOTD: 90%.
