Scary, scary, scary. The cost of the three bottles of wine review today total a third of what I spent on wine this year! If I had bought one of those bottles, there’s no guarentee I would have liked it more than any of the wines I did buy. Price is no guarentee of enjoyment!

Cool pointers on conducting a blind tasting: remove the corks and foils from the wine tasting area.

QOTD: I’m waiting for the Jets and Raiders to return to their former glory and contend in a hard hitting game that decides the AFC Conference champion!

QOTD: I’m waiting to get my right knee replaced and for Winelibrary to carry Shoofly Buzzcut 2006!!!

Great recovery from illness. Was it the Nyquil or the bourbon?
QOTD: I’m waiting for the Innocent Bystander and the Heartland Stickleback I ordered from
Winelibrary in mid September.

Thanks for this episode Gary. Yet another reason to keep looking towards Washington. Glad to see you’re feeling better!

QOTD: I’m waiting for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I can take some time off of work and world travels to visit my family!

Very cool EP Gary…some great wine there pal!!

QOTD: I am waiting for episode 500 of WLTV…keep up the great work!!

My vote before the unveiling: Opus, Ramey and Silver Oak. Let’s see.

Hey Gary…

Being a “math teacher” I suggest you use a random number generator to choose who gets the wristband. You give each person a number, then randomly generate the numbers using your TI 84 silver edition plus graphing calculator! and VOILA…your people get their wristbands WITHOUT BIAS!

Happy Birthday to Bobby!!!

I thought Ramey would be #1 and why did I put Opus? Must be the wine. Oh well, great, great show as always and glad you are feeling better.

OK, how to alleviate the problem of the wristbands? I say give them to the Vayniacs who have ordered any of the Vayniac Nation wine or to the most prolific posters!!! Moi! That should bring out the lurkers.

QOTD: Good question. I’m waiting for that perfect bottle of wine? Too easy. I’m waiting to finally get to meet the G-Man somewhere, some time in the near future.

Cheers!

P.S. And yes, the ’85 Opus would have destroyed those bottles tonight.

How best to handout the wristbands?

It might take a little work, but it is random.

Thanks for cutting up the big names — Saves me bones!!

Gary,

Just had to raise a point about the BUTTER BANDIT. Wouldn’t the Butter Bandit take away the butter? I would think that a wine suffering from an attack from the BB would have no butter in it. Shouldn’t it be something like “butter bag” or “butter bomb”? Just a thought.

Also, “did our did” is an awesome catch phrase, I am going to start using it.

Thanks,
Chris

QOTD: I am waiting for the birth of our first child…..a boy! 🙂

QOTD : The draft next year where our boys get first pick.

Great show! Just goes to show you, labels and $$$ aren’t everything.
QOTD: December 1

Wow. Thank you for doing this. I have tried these type of big name, $$$$, wines at work and just not been impressed. I actually feel bad for my customers when they order such expensive bottles when I know for a fact that we have bomb wines on our list between 40- and 60 bucks. People need to think for themselves a bit more I guess!

Gary, you absolutely MUST try the baby mice wine. You always say it yourself, you need to try new things and explore. What if your tasting another wine and it has a hint of baby mice, you’d never realize it because you’ve never tasted baby mice before. Anyways, love the show, keep it up!

Fun episode. I had high expectations for those wines…

But had a chance to taste an AWESOME wine this weekend…Louis Jadot Grand Cru Mares vintage 2003…once in a lifetime experience…maybe.

QOTD: What are we waiting for? Good question…we’re old folks…maybe a weekend like this last one…again.

How about a shout out to me and SS_Chris for our b-days tomorrow?!!!

QOTD: My girlfriend to come home from China. I miss her. =(

QOTD: A new Linksys box from Vonage- mine fried.
Great show. Glad you’re feeling better!

QOTD: I’m waiting for a decent California CS!

HE’s BACK!!! Great to see you up and running again
You could ask the Colorado Rockies how to distribute a limited supply for an overwhelming demand. On second thought, not a good idea, the World Series ticket sales did not go to well.
Have you done anything with the thundercat pics or the thundercats? Just wondering.
QOTD- Vaniac Cab

Gary,

Great show, exciting stuff…nice change up! Not gonna lie though, I thought the Opus One would have been the Oak Monster (shhhh…let’s not tell Jay Z)!

QOTD: I am waiting for the moment…when it hits square in the jaw and you realize you’re there (hopefully I’ll have a glass of wine with me or at least near by).

MY QOTD: What do you do with all the wine you taste after the show has been recorded?

The wrist band situation is tough…I’ll think about it!

For the dispersement of the remaining wristbands: simple, a race around the earth.

QOTD: Nuttin’.

Great show today! As far as wristbands go, hit me up. Happy birthday, Billy!
