Good episode gary too bad all the wines were not great.

QOTD:
-Probably with dinner tonight 🙂

The ABC director’s cut video was very cool.

QOTD – Trying to organize one with friends and co-workers at the moment. Then the Ottawa Food and Wine Show.

Gary-THANK YOU!!! Thanks for the birthday wish for my nephew Mark. Some might wonder why I wanted this – I take care of my nephew 3 days a week. He is really a happy child!!!! THANKS!! 🙂

QOTD: My apartment. As George Thurogood sang, “I drink alone…yeah, with nobody else.” Well, generally.

You should get your own TV show

I agree with your comments about Brouilly. If people haven’t tried good cru beau, they need to…unless they are big oak and fruit aussie freaks.

QOTD: Tomorrow night, friends house, blind tasting, only rule is must be a rhone varietal.

QOTD: Getting married in Napa on the 21st. Have a bus tour lined up for our guests, so my next official wine tastings will be Flora Springs, Silverado, and Alpha Omega.

Gary,

I have a strong suspicion that Terra Andina that you drank is not the same wine that is sold here in Brazil. Over here, it is a really well made inexpensive carmenere (no “i” there. not Janis, not carmeniere either! :P). I’ve been in contact with some of those wines designed for a specific market and it can be a totally different juice. Did you ever commented on the differences in wines brands (same label) for different markets? Being such a taboo topic I believe it would be perfect conversation on WLTV.

Sorry about the Jets, mate!

P

Gary, you ROCK!!! Keep doing what you do…I think you ARE changing the wine world!

The video breadcrumb trail was an instant classic !!!

At least you are not a Bills fan, whose team has now lost 2 games on last second field goals!

I like episodes like this because they remind me to keep looking for value. I have been leary of trying wines that cost less than $10, thinking they can’t be good. Since seeing shows like this I have tried them. Even though I don’t often find a great wine, I do learn about what I like and don’t like. Thanks, Gary, for constantly challenging us to not get stuck in a rut!

QOTD: Sadly, I don’t have a wine tasting planned. I used to go at least every weekend, but with my son’s high school football games conflicting, I am taking a break. I wouldn’t want to miss a single game, so it’s not a big sacrifice. This is the school’s second year and they are 2&2. Go Pride!

Good show. I been afraid of Beaujolais b/c of the carbonic maceration and baby plastic pool/banana smell I tend to get! It was not until someone gave me a glass from Brouilly (blind) that I totally could appreciate the gamay grape. QOTD: Thursday @ my WSET class-or 17th @ our WineMeUp neighborhood wineclub. Italy is this months pleasure!

Gary- What can I say about your Jets. I feel you. I’m a Chiefs fan. we will get through this together. Next wine tasting this Thursday Manhattan, Kansas. Outside, on the main strip! Kinda like Burbon Street but with a little class and no beads.

QOTD: El Dorado County on Saturday. Taking my mom to her 40th high school reunion in Placerville and taking the opportunity to visit some Sierra Foothills wineries to sip some Rhone Rangers and Zins.

Cheez Wizz and Norton Privada….love it…

QOTD – on my couch, in the living room.

GV – dont be too sad, I watched my Broncos down in what had to be their worse performance in 30 yrs! I may live in San Diego, but my heart is still in Denver, it was not pleasant at my house and not much fun around the office w/all the Charger bandwagon fans.

QOTD: Met some friends for wine Sunday and they want to do a wine party this weekend -so we suggested everyone bring a bottle with a brown bag and do some blind tasting.

QOTD: At Stimmel’s Market in Bowling Green, OH. (home to several “Vayniacs”). This Thursday is Bordeaux!

YOOO GARY!!

Think of da glass as bein’ half-full!
Da JETS might be in da runnin’ for da
First Draft Pick in 2008!! 🙂

QOTD: Right here on da Lazy Boy in da
Hizzy!! 🙂

Gary.. just saw your “120 seconds of something else”.. You gotta do that more often.. kind of fun..

Sensei,

Sorry the Jets have sucked all the life (thunder) out of you. Hope you recover!? You have many new viewers this week after the Nightline plug, don’t let them get away!!!!

QOTD – next week, four days in Sonoma/Napa with my Sweetheart and our best friends…pumped!!

Grasshopper

G Don’t worry dude the Jets do suck but my Carolina Panthers are worse than the Jets — the whole NFC sucks..
QOTD— We hope to do one at Race in Charlotte this Sat. night Nascar Baby!!!!

QOTD – At my kitchen table or my wine club – awesome.

QOTD – At my restaurant. We are switching our glass-pours to focus on Southwest France (to go with the cassoulet for the fall). Great stuff – Marcilliac, Cahors, Madiran, Gaillac. All crazy, wild wines. Should be fun. Love to see you giving it up to Beaujolais Cru. Totally misunderstood area.

Go Raiders!
