Lars is sooooooo much better than Gary at wine. Lars clearly has the superior wine knowledge and acumen. Gary you better hope Lars doesn’t open a store in NJ!

And Lars was pretty close in nailing the score! Jets stink!

I want a Lars wristband!!!!! Got an extra snort?

Great intro, Lars!

“He who hesitates is lost.” or something like that. I was thinking about getting some of the Innoocent Bystander a few weeks ago after the Shiraz-Viognier ep, but opted for something else instead. Shame on me.

QOTD: no idea, although I liked Happy Wine Guys answer about his cellar and Visa statement. I can relate to that.

Have a great weekend.

The labels also kind of remind me of ‘The Guilty’ by the Shinas estate in Australia.

This was a great show! Thanks Gary. It’s just to bad your Jets don’t bring the thunder as much as you do hehe. Do you know anything about snaps? Perhaps you could head down and give a demonstration eh? (Sorry man I HAD to say something, the wife and I couldn’t stop laughing when that happened last night)

On another note, I’m sure some people don’t want to watch quest intros however if they went back into the archives… you’re just bringing back what you were doing before and it worked and still works. With the little tidbits of education you’re mixing in I think you’re right on track man, keep them coming!

QOTD: Well, I’m remarried and even though I’ve had two wives they are completely different. I rushed into the 1st when I was too young to know any better and as we got a little older we grew apart. My new wife is the best thing that ever happened to me and without the past the future would never have been as amazing as it is!

I’m really enjoying viewer intro’s.Keep this up if you can.Great friday show.QOTD I’ll have too say my two daughters as well. My first was no worries when she was baby didn’t get into anything. My youngest is holy terror into everything and everything goes into her mouth. I love them both the same but man what a difference in the two. Thanks GV and WLTV crew.

Thanks Bossman!

I lived in Minnesoootah for 5 years so I enjoy doze intro’s from Lars doncha know – highly entertaining. This was a GREAT episode Gary. Last time I tried the Parson’s Flat was the ’03 vintage. Big over-the-top fruit and a very silky mouthfeel (the best part), but otherwise rather unidimensional and just not interesting enough for me to spend 30 bones on it again. Regarding the question on wine cellars, it’s hard to argue the point that a built in closet or full boat cellar is the best arrangement. However my basement is not amenable to that so I have a Vinoteque unit (seats 285) that has served me very well over the years. The two best pieces of advice I have if you’re going to get a cooling unit are: 1) Buy a much bigger unit than you think you need. In fact buy as obscenely big as you can afford so it can accomodate all the great wines that Gary is recommending. 2) Buy one that has flexibility built into it. In other words one that will seat all the friggin oversize bottles (tall and fat)that are so popular nowadays. This criteria is harder to meet than it sounds when it comes to predesigned units.

Lars rules! Nice job Lars. I love the Tarkenton jersey (most exciting quarterback in NFL history). Go to my web site and send me an email if you have time.

Gary, I love the recycled (printed on both sides) paper for the Ask WLTV segment. It’s good to see that WL is an efficiently run organization!

Congradulations on the spectacular Jets performance yesterday, they looked stellar. Pennington’s arm strength was showcased beautifully w/ those blazing 5 year screen passes…and those 2 interceptions were spot on baby! Way to go Green slobs- see what happens when you mess w/ Big Blue? Eat it.

Lars rules! (And, Vikings ruled the Jets last night!) I love the Tarkenton jersey (the most exciting quarterback in NFL history). Lars, I’m from St. Cloud, if you have time, visit my website and drop me a line at my email.

Gary, I love the recycled paper (printed on both sides). It’s nice to know that WL is such an efficiently run operation.

Sorry, Gary, but even as a fellow Jersey Boy (even if I’m a Giants fan), I’ve gotta give props to Lars for his pick. Not bad.

It took me a little bit to figure out you were actually saying the word “HEN.” (Good to see Lars is coming around again!)

Big G, Great friday show. Hey, where are ya going to be in LA?

QOTD: Easy!

These two websites:

Gary- QOTD: My brother’s wife is a twin.
She and her sister are identical to the
eye but their personalities are SOOOOOOOO different!!!!
🙂

QOTD: All the identical twins I have ever met… usually one is very outgoing one, and one is very shy. As an aside…I have a twin brother, and people actually ask me if we are identical..hellllllooooo…I’m a girl..he’s a boy…

Great episode. I had always wondered about the punt, and you explained it so throughly. Thanks for that.
QOTD: My desk chair vs my boyfriend’s chair. They are the exact same model, but mine doesn’t lean back and his does. I prefer it my way and he prefers it his, so it works out.

Just stumble on this show today. Its just ironic that an Aussie gets on a yanky show to find what is good back home….just as ironic as the game of Football is played with their hands and the foot is so seldom used people are not aware what a punt is used for…..hmmmmm better stick to the Aussie wines… Great show!!

dude- both labels rock- im buying both. So i saw two kids today in clinic, 3 month old twins. One would not stop crying not matter what was done. The other could care less about anything.

YEAH Fridays with the comfy couch! LARS was a riot! Awesome laughs!

QOTD: my twin cats – totally different in EVERY aspect! Crazy!

I’m a huge fan of the Terlato-Chapoutier Shiraz/Viognier so I’m looking forward to Innocent Bystander.

QOTD: My identical twin sons. Look the same. Wildly different personalities.

Nonsense GV! The punt is what the Jets offense should have used in the Vikings game. Punts > Turnovers.

hmmm…….. innocent bystander, always walk pass it but didn’t take any notice, will get one next time……. thanks GV

QOTD: My left and right leg. Both are about the same size, same shape and at first glance you’d think they would be used for the same exact function. HOWEVER, when one leg is going forward the other leg is going backwards. CRAZY. Wait until I explain more. I was playing a little judo the other day and when I was leg tripping a guy my left leg was off the ground but my right leg (same size and shape still) wasn’t moving at all. I mean, it was sta/tion/ery. I tried putting my left shoe on my right foot,didn’t work. I tried walking with both feet moving in the same direction; my wife asked me why I was jumping. I said, “what are you freakin’ taking about? I’m walking!!” I mean I think a god, when making us, might make two legs that at least could wear the same shoe. Then you wouldn’t have to buy two.

Lars, excellent intro, you’re a natural. Gary, can you bring in a translator for that football speak please?

QOTD – No, blank on that one.
