    FANTASTIC idea of a Value Week with no wines tasted over 13 bones! My favorite week of ALL TIME on WLTV!! Kudos, BIG G.

    QOTD: Over-consumption. Maybe it’s part of being a former nutrition major, but over-consumption of food in this country has gone way too far. Obesity has become an epidemic here. More-so, over consumption of alcohol has come to my attention lately, and it ruins the whole concept of enjoying wine or beer or whatever for what it is. Wine can be enjoyed without consuming it to the point of intoxication, and I wish more people did that rather than saying, “I don’t care what it tastes like as ling as it does the trick.”
    The message: enjoy wine for what it is, what it can “bring to the table,” and the friends it can bring together.

    Great show, Gary. Keep up the good work!

    Question: Do you think the Corvina would have hit better if it hadn’t been following the surprizingly big and complex dolcetto?

    Not a football fan, but I feel your pain.

    Being a lurker, I was happy to see that we now have our own t-shirt. Nice! I recently had some great wine while I was in Schenectedy, NY. It was called Blue Newt wine from Red Newt Cellars. Give it a try.

  • Happy birthday Sasha!! (a day late, sorry). My son Eduardo’s b-day’s on the 9th. My mom on the 7th. Great show, supported by a fantastic concept. Of course, THANKS for the free shipping!! I’m going to get on it right away – my fun moment of the day. Very nice lurker t-shirt! Too bad that I can’t wear it b/c I’m not a lurker. QOTD: government, justice or on-the-job corruption, favoritism. Happens everywhere; I’m not singling one place, but makes me sick.

    I sent Sasha an email. I hope he doesn’t reply back with an angry tirade.
    I hate how they can’t ship to Mass even if Gary wanted to! Damn Massachusetts politics!!
    Go Pats!

  • QOTD : In the spirit of your Jets/Patriots thing, it’s the Toronto Maple Leafs that make me sick.

    However, Canadiens/Leafs games are always awesome and it’s a completely positive sickness.

    Gary,

    Why did you dump you first wine before tasting (Blue Franc? Are you pre-tasting Gary?, Using a dirty glass? It’s your first wine of the week so it can’t be that this is part of a multiple tasting? Hmm…..

    QOTD…Gossip, Gossip, Gossip. People that talk about others are a total drag. Bletch, it really does make me sick.

  • Bucs looked pretty pathetic, too … will be interesting to see how they play at the home opener. Looking forward to tailgating at least.

    QOTD: Picky eaters and broadcasters that don’t correct themselves annoy me…

  • JerseyGirl turned CNY vayniac

    Happy Birthday Sasha!

    QOTD: What makes me sick? SMOKERS! How can you possibly do something so gross and harmful to your body in a day and age when we know exactly how many people it kills each year! Even if you don’t care about yourself, think about the OTHER PEOPLE who’s health is affected by YOUR smoke! It’s disgusting and I struggle to have even a little bit of respect for people who smoke.

    The other thing that makes me sick – POLITICS. I know it’s what keeps the world running and it’s important and blah blah blah… but the crap that goes on within the political world makes me sick. People are mostly selfish and cruel and somehow they get to run the world. I exercise my right to vote, but otherwise I stay as far away from politics as I can cause the more I know about it the more I feel it’s evil poisoning my soul.

    Good show Gary… thanks for finding some value wines to try! Hopefully you’ll actually like a few in the upcoming shows!

    QOTD: 1. People who go on rants about things they don’t like. ie, that smoking, politics rant.
    2. Not using points to rate wines.
    3. Being a Chiefs fan. See Gary, your season could be worse?

  • Soldaddy

    At least you are not a Dolphins fan….we have been suffering for years…

    To your point about the enjoyable vaction wine. Most people also comment that the wine in Europe has no sulfites, thus no headache. Please tell everyone that all wine has sulfites, and the Italian wine purchased in the US, is not different than that wine drank in Italy…..Love your show!

    Hi Gary,

    but were you really surprised about the Jets? You forecast a 31 – 7 defeat last week.

    Next weekend: a major AFC Championship game preview – San Diego at New England, with payback memories from last January riding along as well.

    Prediction: New England 27, San Diego 26
