top ten!!!!

Top ten?!?!

TGIF all…let’s pop one!

Mmmm, buttered popcorn..

what no couch?

Number 12?

I have to criique Chardonnay because my wife likes the expensive ones, Ramey, Kistler and high end Ferrari Carrano. Am I down on them. Not if I can find a minerality in them. Buttered popcorn is Orville Redenbacker and not wine to me. I used to think the Sonoma Cutrer was the be all and end all and in fact, their single vineyard Chards are pretty good but pricey.

I have a question for the Vayniacs. Have you ever bought wine from an auction? Received the blurb for the Zachy’s wine auction and some amazing wines with amazing prices on there.

What wine do you pair with buttered popcorn?

… FedEx drank my wine.

Gary-
great show. good to see you back live.

qotd: i like all styles, but the big Cali butterballs just don’t work as well with food for me. But with the foods that they do go well with I think they are the most yummy satisfying white wines around.

I think you hit it on the head… embrace the wine for what it is… I like the buttered popcorn Chards,, but I don’t dislike the “unoaked” ones.. they is what they is…. 🙂

Was that a hat or headband with some kind of ears on it?

QOTD: Don’t drink white wine so, no.

QOTD: No, i don’t like chard in general. Not a social thing, it’s a personal thing. Just dont really like it (probably because I have not spent enough time trying it). I really should try some better efforts this fall in winter when I am eating some yummy dungenous crab or something in SF.

I enjoy drinking all types of wine. If a Chard is good to me I’ll drink it, if its not I may not
drink that vintage again. If anything I get tired of the hype for Pinot Noir if anything.

Wow, great show Gary!!
I am happy to see the debut of the “Butter Bandit” …hee hee!

I like wine that tastes like buttered popcorn, so that description works for me.

A question for you– have you ever gone back on an opinion on a wine? Not different vintages of the same thing, but the same vintage same wine, and just felt like your judgement was “off”? If so, why?

QOTD: I’m not down on Chardonnay per se, but I am not that into whites in general, so it would have to be extra special for me to want to drink it. The more butter and less oak it has, the better for me. I also love pear notes and crisp action on the whites.

I love this show and I love how warm and welcoming you are!!
Have a great weekend, Gary!!! And the rest of you , too!!

Good show, its nice to see that a viewers pick didnt disapoint.
QOTD I would say that generally im not too down on chard, but i have been hard on the chard if the quality is purfunctory.

QOTD: I admit, yes, I am actually surprised when I come across an unoaked Chardonnay. I’m not a friend of the Oak Monster. I am the Oak Monster’s Van Helsing.
