QOTD: Gary and WLTV. Watch episode 1 then watch #348. =)

I love these laid back Fridays!!!! I have been buying alot of 05 Bordeaux and I cant wait to try them in about 10 or so years.

QOTD: Cell phones

Awesome stuff. And great bleep! :o)

QOTD: Myself- I can’t believe how different between now and 1 year ago, 2 years, 5, 10, etc!

If one believes in Bio-Rhythms, then you were on a triple positive today, Gar’ – causing your infectious enthusiasm — giving you one of those days where nothing – NOTHING – can get you down!

QOTD: Too many to list, so I’ll go with a personal fave: watching my son transform himself from a whiny, self-pitying slacker into a take-charge, upbeat master of his own destiny, loved and respected by one and all. We gave him guidance, but he did it himself.

Have a great weekend, Gar’ – and you are so right: God Bless America The Beautiful!

QOTD: my ten month-old daughter… she just started crawling this week. To think that only ten months ago she was this wrinkled up little screaming baby being dropped into my shaking arms (my wife was flat out on an operating table) and now has so much personality is absolutely flooring.

Oh, and GV – if Mr. and Mrs. V would have had you a day earlier we would have entered this world on the same day, same year!

I’ve got a better QOTD…. Where’s the Michigan wines you talked about last Friday? I was so looking forward to seeing some local (for me anyways) wines on the show. Oh well, better luck next time…

too tanic for school! perhaps we’ll be watchin you drink this again 15 years from now on episode 13,349. can’t wait until my futures arrive.
happy friday, dude.
all the best,
-spesh

QOTD: the decline of white zinfandel and the rise in the number of people we know who drink higher quality wines.

QOTD: Getting older and seeing myself transform into my dad.

Good show, just to bad we got no score.

GO BEARS….

That’s a cool project. I know you (GV) appreciate the Walla Walla Valley…how bout flying through the labels coming out of Longshadows?

QOTD: Also…me. I never thought I’d drink wine…ever!

I’m actually due to call family up tonight and I will tell them how much they mean to me. Thank you GV for bringing the thunder again this week.

no answer for the qotd.. but on another note..
thanks for the last minute..
after a couple real shi@@y days i needed that pick me up.
feelin pretty good now .
Thnx GV

Gary, well, you’re Gary…and…I LOVE YOU MAN!! “you’re not getting my beer JW” (remember those commercials?) Anyway, excellent show. You’re so right- we are crazy blessed. Thank you for reminding us- don’t stop.
QOTD: My mother learning how to use a computer. Even more- watching my brother’s kids growing up to be the most gorgeous human beings I’ve ever seen.

Hey Gary, How about trying some Alban Viognier and Syrah next to some northern Rhone wines? How do you think our rhone ranger friends are doing?
QOTD – My wife, every day she’s more amazing!

I got to taste a 2005 Cote du Beaune a couple weeks back and I found, that like the bordeaux you tasted, that it was also extremely tight. I had another pretty interesting experience last night when I was at Moore Brothers and got to re-taste an ’03 Oliver Rion Cote De Nuits Villages that I first tasted close to a year ago when the first got it in, and there was actually a pretty noticeable difference even in the 9 or 10 months since I last tried it.

QOTD: Last weekend I was down by the Red Hook waterfront in Brooklyn for the first time in about 2 years, and all I can say is, “Wow!” I could never logically advocate the preservation of the derelict, crumbling industrial sites down there, but seeing the wholesale leveling of the waterfront from the sugar refinery almost all the way to the grain terminal was kind of a shock.

uplifting show-reflects my day-lovely lady in her 60s came to see me today,sad and anxious and told me of the stillbirth of her only child 48 yrs earlier-she had never told anyone else and felt immediately free for being able to express feelings ahe had repressed-she left smiling and i felt humbled-people can be fabulous

QOTD: Watching the Colts transform from The Dolts and the doormats of the NFL to the powerhouse they are today.

Great show but taking your lead, life is too short to sit around waiting for over-the-top tannic bombs to come to fruition (good pun eh?) 10 years down the road. I’ll pay the extra bones to taste an older Bordeaux now ’cause who knows what happens in the next 10 years. Dag, we could have a woman President by then and who knows ….. 🙂

TGIF

Off to drink some good wine.

Cheers and more cheers!!!!!

The biggest transformation that I have witnessed must be Michael Jacksons appearance.

gary … very poussois of you to punt on the rating, but what the heck.

amen re: loving life; i’m chilling with a very average Merryale Napa cab, 2003 … too jammy for me and no thunder

qotd: my kids … one day you trip over one of your kid’s shoes, and it’s as big as your own … totally mindblowing

Happy Friday! Kicking back with a shaken Ketel and finally a wine I can store for 40 years, that’s awesomely wicked, radical in fact, can’t wait to score a case. QOFTD, my beautiful daughter who is a mother now, and me a grandfather, a girl becomes a woman, a brother becomes a uncle, a sister becomes an aunt, and my granddaughter who becomes the most beautiful person on earth. Peace and prosperity to all.

qotd: having a nice half case of st emilion and watching it develop slowly over a period of time. i have 1 more bottle left and can’t wait.

Right on , you nailed it, enjoy life.Thanks Gary and WLTV crew.

Wow! Your rockin on a Friday..good to see you on the couch, but what happen to answering questions that you got in email form???? Sure enjoyed that!! ’05 Bordeaux interesting.

QOTD: People’s attitudes when you show them love!

have a great weekend everyone!!

Holy cow, man! You were ON one, eh??? Great episode, GaryVEEEE! LMmfAO!!!!

QOTD: winter into springtime, every year. Bleak, barren branches, blossoming. Dogwoods, azaleas, cherries, rhododendrons, you name it. I love the metaMORphosis of springtime.
