I too dislike the opus one and the silver oak. I was just in Napa and went to all three of these wineries. I didnt like the opus one because the people there were not nice. You know what they say, you only have one shot a first impression. Therefore it set me off on the wrong foot. The people at silver oaks were very nice but I too didnt think it was worth any where near their price point. The people at Larkmeade were great and i enjoyed the fruit forwardness of their Cabs.

Great show. Interesting how these wines didn’t really pan out,I had high expectations for them.QOTD I’m waiting for the birth of my third child mainly because it’s my child and all the wonderfull things that go along with that.But also because of my wife being pregnant I’ve been drinking wine alone, and wine was so much better when it was enjoyed with my wife,I’m waiting to get that back.Thanks Gary and WLTV crew.

Gary, PLEASE DO NOT DRINK THE BABY MICE WINE! And I don’t really feel any need to explain.

QOTD: I tend to live one day at a time, I’m not really waiting for anything.

No baby mice wine! I was watching DiggNation last night and was excited to see you there.

QOTD: I am waiting for it to finally not be 90 degrees outside in the afternoon. Come on fall!

Meh. The McKenzie brothers did the mouse in the bottle thing two decades ago. Take off, eh.

Happy birthday Bobby, happy birthday forum, happy birthday SS.

I’m waiting for an excuse to crack my last ’97 Smith Madrone because I think it’s the only bottle of Napa cab I have left. And I got it for under thirty, so there.

Well done. I use Opus One to water my plants and drink 5 bottles of Heller Cachagua Cab instead.
QOTD: I aint waitin’ for jack. You just gotta get out there, hustle, and make it happen. Gary, Make It Happen! (that’s not a question either)

Gary, I also hate going to an expensive restaurant, eating a small sculpture with flowers, (my husband’s description), and having to stop for fast food drive on the way home, because you’re still hungry…
QOTD: seeing my 3 kids next week in their halloween costumes, my husband’s 40th birthday in a few weeks, it’s going to be a PARTY!!!

Oct. 25 is my birthday too!!!!!!! Turning 28.

QOTD: I’m not waiting for anything man, just taking action.

I did what I did, did you did what you did? That is the QOTD!!!!!!

qotd- i’m waiting for another bottle of wine to rock my world like 99 silver oak did. guess i’m defective. but i am drinking a $13 chinon right now, so there’s hope.

So GV, for the wrist bands, don’t do like the Rockies selling World Series tickets; That was a disaster (especially since I didn’t get tickets) !
How about do a special Wine Library promo for Vayniacs, maybe on wines you would like Vayniacs to try – buy some wines, get a wrist band ; Saves shipping, you win with some more sales & Vayniacs win with some cool wines.

Absolutely fun episode tonite – do more of the blind tastings – How about triple blind & let Mott choose some out of the warehouse at random & serve them up to you ??? Have to figure out the varietals, as well as the quality. Could be fun !

QOTD – I am waiting for a big O&G exploration discovery & the 1st vintage from Epoch Estate Wines (2 more years ) !

I say that you eamil each of them asking for a photo of themselves without the wristband(maybe pointing to where it would be)….and the first that reply with a photo get one. It can be done via email, it’s fast & easy….Then those that reply in a timely manner you know really want one. How many have you already given out that DID’T send in their photo? Exactly…..

QOTD: I am waiting for this upcomming Sunday (28 October) and no more work…..so I can seriously get into my studies….

Nice, nice episode. Yummy indeed. Use the wristbands to promote cork’d. Reward the peps that have input the most in cork’d. Again, that was a big show today, THANKS! QOTD: My 40th b-day, Nov. 2

PROMOTE CORK’D USAGE AND INPUT!

Were you influenced by our blind tasting party on Saturday here in LA???!! Of course you must have seen all the fun that was had, and you needed to do your own! 😉
C’MON!! I GOTTA win this contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so ME. I am going to win. Second place will not do this time. Hurry up and tell me what I need to do. 🙂
Hmm… the Silver Oak was a birthday gift to me. I hope I like it better than you did. It’s possible!
QOTD: a phone call. that’s about it. otherwise I’m living fine.

Great show! For the wrist bands, just put the names in an Excel file and sort’m alphabetically and pick from the top (or the bottom)!! As for waiting, well, I am looking forward to 2 trips, San Diego next Sat. (I hope the fires are out by then) and visiting family in Dubai/Abu Dhabi to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Cheers!

QOTD: a visit in

Obviously the remaining wristbands should be doled out to Scorpios first because we deserve the best and can handle the flak about how unfair that distribution system would be.

QOTD: Some of my wines to mature.

QOTD;
I am waiting for opera season.

You do know that the wine with baby mice in it isn’t really grape wine, it’s more along the lines of everclear. It’s extremely strong sort of like Mai Tai (Chinese). The Chinese drink the same thing only they add scorpions and snake heads and full grown rats and other random things. Rather than drink it I recommend you power your car with it.

Also why don’t you just source some of those wrist bands over here in China. They’ll be a ton cheaper to make and that way everybody that wants one can get one.

QOTD: My big break! I belive!!!!

QOTD: rain (it’s been dry here in Virginny) and the World Series.

I’m waiting for wineries to stop charging so much damn money for mediocre wines.
