QOTD: I’m fascinated by history, which in turn fuels my love of old stuff! I love antiques like old books, letters, marbles, art pottery, stamps, sports cards, furniture(Arts and Crafts period!), pipes, tobacco tins, cigar bands, rugs, photos, tobacco cards, movie posters, paintings, sculptures.

I’m completely fascinated by mankind’s seemigly infinite stupidity. I’m also fascinated by how Nature, in its infinite complexity, has come to produce such stupid creatures, as well as a plane of existence so filled with suffering, tragedy and misery.

QOTD: What fascinates me? YOU fascinate me! Really, really look forward to every episode and the passion, fun, enthusiasm and yes, craziness you’ve brought to our previously-intimidating wine world!

Keep bringing on the thunder!

QOTD: I’m fascinated by the way people move, and with the effects thereof.

Wow, 300 tomorrow! Maybe you should open with some obnoxious clip from the movie. If only we could get a legion of Vayniacs to prance around in their underwear whilst shouting praise for Sparta.

Thanks for bringing out the wonderful wonderful Domaine du Castel Grand Vin – it’s the best wine I ever tasted. Had the 2004 w/ Eli Ben-Zaken, the master behind Castel.

Check out my article about Domaine du Castel from a visit I made to Ramat Raziel and the winery (actually when they were bottling) back in February.

Oh, sorry, in answer to the question above, I believe they make about 100,000 bottles annually of their three great wines:

The Grand Vin – the top red
Petit Castel – second label but also a winner
“C” Chardonnay – a classic

I’m fascinated by… wine, the world, the people in it, the beauty they make, the ugliness they manifest, the sound of a cello, the colors Van Gogh used in his paintings, smoke, twins, how much time kids can spend deconstructing simplicity, this question.

Tremendous and profound episode. Today will be #300!!!! Antonio, Chef Melissa, Concepcion and I will get together in early evening to do the tasting along of the two wines. I sent in a question, so please tackle that for us. QOTD: my wife Concepcion. My daughter Lucia.

QOTD: I’m fascinated by how lazy I am.

Hi Bro-
Great episode!! Love you 2!

Gary,
Glad to hear you like sparkling wines so much. What do you (or anyone else) think about Martini and Rossi Asti Spumante? I know it’s considered “common” and is at a lower price point, but i’ve tried a lot of sparklings and every time it hits my tounge I remember why i love it… curious to see what you think.

And, I know I sound like a broken record, BUT some of my other favorite sparkling wines come from Glenora down on Seneca Lake in the Fingerlakes Region.

QOTD: People facinate me… I love watching people and trying to to figure out what makes people “tick”… can’t get enough! And, that’s why I love NYC so much – I dont get there often, but when i do I love it! Sit me down on any corner in NYC and I could sit there all day and be facinated by all the people.

Congrats on 300 Gary!

Cool show can’t wait to see todays!

QOTD: Kids & how easy it is to make them smile

What were the Thundercats doing on that bucket!?!!!

Nice ep…can’t wait for the champagne episode or sparkling wines!! They are totally underated in this society…Life is a celebration and it should be celebrated daily with as much champagne as possible!!!!

Congratulations on ep #300 later today!

QOTD: God, Life and Wine !

Brand new to WLTV and pleased to find a website that treats wine as a beverage that brings people together. Gary, you have the right approach, spaciba. QOTD: What fascinates me? FOOTBALL, but the real football(okay, soccer), not the American gladiator version where the play lasts mere seconds, the game lasts for hours, officials can take minutes to interpret a call from tape, the players equipment could withstand a bomb blast and those bloody stupid cheerleaders. Other than that I rank it right up there with bowling for surefire entertainment.

Sherry! SHerry! Sherry!

Hey Gary, congrats on 300 eve show and for lighting the champagne spark in me.
Had a cava last night and it was great. Also loving you sharing your knowledge about wines and regions, truly fascinating! Oh, pardon me, but that’s the answer to the QOTD.
My other great fascination is cheerleaders! The world would be a much better place if all the guys battled on the lawn for a football and all the girls battled for best dancer, singer and cheerer on the sidelines. Peace through football brethren!!!!

In the span of a couple of episodes I go from ignoring Kosher wines to dying to find the Castel – that sounded great and I love the blind tasting idea.

QOTD: my daughter
