Early, early, early. 1st.

Ha!

Top ten, great! I guess Gary took the magic pill (or glass of wine and got well.

Love the blind tasting episodes

hey, top 10 – sweet

Wristbands – Gary, I think that you should have a new site put up for a very limited time where viewers put their info in, then the computer, or you or whoever chooses randomly. You should only be able to enter once, then if you get one, you get one. I would really like one cause i would rock it hardcore, but I’ll still watch the show if I dont. Keep it fair Gary, that’s all I ask.

Glad you’re feeling better!

Cough, choke, wheez…can barely see you thru the smoke in SoCalif, but glad to see you looking better today!

Sure Mott has to work for his money but GV- he gets sick days for working out 1 day!

Gary- Glad to see you back, and early too!

Gary- Glad to see you back, and early too!

Early bird! Glad you are feeling better.

Now to watch some big Cabs.

great show today! glad you’ve returned to health. all of my blind guesses were wrong.
qotd: my girlfriend to bring me some flaming hot thai food.

QOTD: I’m waiting for this Saturday when Oregon puts the smack down on USC and then the following weekend when we put 60 points on undefeated Arizona State and wind up in the National Title game.

QOTD: I’m also waiting until this damn cold goes away so that I can drink wine and actually appreciate it again.

QOTD: I’m waiting for a wristband!

QOTD: I am waiting for the 80’s to comeback!! YEAH BABY

Very intelligent episode.

You mentioned it yourself — you are overusing the “-esque” ending to descriptions. It’s the kind of thing that is most effective if used sparingly, kind of like oak.

Keep up the good work.

Glad to see you’re feeling better!

I kind of forgot how it feels having a cold. One of the few perks of living in Florida I guess. 🙂

Gary – Great show. But aren’t you supposed to guess the wine before you take it out of the bag?

Glad you are feeling better. Did you do the fast recovery with NyQuil, wine or a secret Russian remedy?

Nice to see my wrist band picture made it. Some of those photos are great.

QOTD: I’m waiting for the wine we are making together at CRUSHPAD!

Hey Gary-
Good to see that you’re feeling better.
You totally got me by the way…from your tasting notes I thought the Ramey was #1, the Opus One was #2, but at least I got that the Silver Oak was #3!
Well I think I owe you an apology….I recieved both wrist bands and have yet to send you a picture….for that I am sorry…BUT you will be recieving a picture of me and my fiancee this week wearing both! That’s the best I can do, so hopefully this will satisfy.
QotD-
I’m waiting for next Spring when my advanced WSET class begins….they cancelled the January class due to a lack of enrollment.

Another fun episode. Poor Cali Cabernets. Oh, that reminds me, where did we source our Vayner Nation grapes and what was the brix? Ramey is my new favorit top end commercial wine. Try the 2004 Jericho Canyon and you’ll be blown away.

QOTD: A return to form by Napa and Sonoma Valley vintners. A few are changing but the vast majority aren’t giving up making wine for yuppie palates.

look i have got to profess the fact that i stopped watching the beautiful thunder show as we know it. with that said i will add the lack of my presence infront of the computer screen watching is due to intense college obligations being brought to my perverbial door step…but may i also add that getting some time to watch a wee bit of thunderdum… brings a smile to my face and to my heart. so in summation…..stay golden pony boy, stay golden.

Chose all 3 of those correctly by going off of your tasting notes. Had the most difficulty deciphering between wines 1 and 2, but I knew that the Opus wouldn’t overperform. Lots of new extracurriculars being talked about on WLTV, I like it. Another Vayniac contest and a request for a Butter Bandit montage…I like it a lot.

QOTD: For the results of the top-selling wines at this year’s Super Tasting. Top 4. be it an episode or in writing. 😉
