Whoahhhhh new intro…..what will be next?
Great episode Gary, I’ll admit this is a region that I have kind of given up on after about 10-12 bottles that did not do it for me…I’ll have to get back in if you think things are on the up and up
QOTD – Gotta be cherrios….simply the best!

Think I am going to try the Peacock Ridge wine that you tried today. Good show.
QOTD: Special K with sliced bananas and skim milk(only skim)

QOTD: Barbara’s Shredded Spoonfuls. Yum.

I love South African syrahs. Little disappointed that you didn’t taste any of these. I got hooked on them on visits to South Africa for work a few years ago. At their best, they are a perfect balance between Cornas/Cote Rotie and Washington/California. Remember th huge South African guy that GV had on WLTV about 10 months ago. He owns Luddite vineyards in South Africa. His wines are beautiful. Chris Williams at Meerlust also makes some beauties. If anyone ever gets the chance to head over there, please do. It’s a beautiful wine country.

Whoa, production value meets WLTV. Nice job, just don’t go all Hollywood on us. What’s next, editing of the videos? Second takes? And when are you releasing the 5 DVD box-set with special bonus DVD that answers burning questions like “Is Gary really pouring that wine on the floor?” and “What happens to the $2-$100+ bottles of wine that Gary uses two glasses of?”

QOTD: I’m not a big cereal eater. I like Bear Naked granola though.

No “addiction” but often have Cheerios with a banana. My favorite would be Cinammon Toast Crunch. If I have an addiction, it is FREE SHIPPING deals…

QOTD:

I like eggs.

I’ve been on a huge granola kick lately â?? made some of my own recently. I tend to go through phases though. I used to really be into Cinnamon Toast Crunch until I started to watch the sugar intake.

Totte:

Chardonnay is made of Chardonnay. Chardonnay is the offspring of Gouais blanc and an unidentified grape, most likely Pinot noir. Cabernet sauvignon is not a clone but the offspring of C. franc and S. blanc. This means it may be a natural crossing. When you cross two vinifer species the result is a crossing, not a clone. The blending of V. vinifera and V. lambrusca (or V. riparia) to create a new species is called a hybrid.

Good job on the Pinotage birthdate. 1925 per Wikipedia (which we all know never lies…)

And who was it that Kastner zoomed out to capture on the left of the screen?

QOD: Frosted Mini Wheats. Can’t get enough of the little sugar bombs.

Gotta try some more South African wines.

QOTD: Oatmeal Crisp with raisins, by General Mills

Totte:

Just looked at your blog and realized that English might not be your first language.
Was not trying to bust your chops, I just believe in “accuaracy in academia”. Hence my most recent post. No malice intended.

…. apparently, I don’t practice accuracy in spelling…. 🙂

Very good EP Gary, I want to get into some south African wines, its on the list.

QOTD: I am a very big fan of me Lucky Charms.

Was hoping for a good Pinotage but ya can’t win em all.

QOTD: Do I have to? Okay, Golden Crisp (formerly Sugar Crisp). I know, I’m damned.

Okay Gary, I must address this first:

PALETTE – What artists (people like me) use to pick colors for pretty pictures
PALATE – What food/wine critics use (people like you) use to refer to the sense of taste

Question of the Day: I’ve always been addicted to Corn POPS. It was a treat for me as a kid, but recently I’ve been getting into healthier cereals like Cheerios, Rice Krispies (the plain kind) and Total. All with a sliced banana, of course.

We really enjoy the educational aspect of your show. Thanks.

QOTD: No current cereal addictions here,

Gary said COCK and WOODY

QOTD: Capt’n Crunch the Lucky Charms

QOTD- Honey Nut Cheerios with Banana. But, I am an expert egg-maker!

Really good show Gary. The Merlot in partic sounds very good.

Did you ever notice how many comments use my first name?

No favorite cereal, but always have a box of Raisin Brand in the house.

A few editions ago Wine Spectator featured south Africa. The article pretty much follows your thinking about the future for their wines. But after you highlighted “The Wolftrap” from Boekenhoutskloof about a year ago, I’ve been convienced about their quality and price.

Gary, regarding your black (actually) green board:

“Trust your palette” if you are a painter.

Trust your palate, if you are training Ellen and Conan.

QOD: my work actually puts out quite a spread for breakfast each day. cereal, eggs, croissants, muffins, bagels, fresh fruit, and a cheese plate (today had some wonderful smoked gouda YUM!)

but anyway.. recently they’ve been putting out some good ol favorites which I guess would satisfy this question: Fruit Loops and Frosted Flakes. that’ll wake you up in the morning 😉

Well said.

My other favorite is: “black currents”

Currents are found in electrical wires and bodies of water
Currants are succulent berries that come in white, red and black.

Hey Gary,

Good educational show. I may have made a new vayniac out of a co-worker today, so YAY!

QOTD: Cinnamon Toast Crunch
