Hey, Iâ??ve got a laundry room in the basement! Same place as the wine cellar. But no Atari.

Ordered the Thanksgiving Pack, but had to send to my parent’s house because Wine Library/New Jersey has no love for Washington State. Hopefully my parents save me some!

QOTD: None. Don’t wear a tie.

I ordered the TG package and will follow along wiht the family and we’ll see if we match up! It’ll be more excitng than watching the Jets (unfortuantely — even though I know you believe they will win that one before they make the late season run for the draft pick).

Tie: Four-In-Hand

Justin and I share a birthday! Big ups Nov. 8th Birthdays!

I have never tied a tie in my life so you got me on that one! Happy Monday

I’ve seen other Frank Family wines in our store, now I’ll have to search for this Zin! And I miss those Fruit Roll Ups with the shapes- they were so awesome!

QOTD: I dunno any tie knots, as I don’t wear ties.

Awesome episode today – really excited about that Frank Family bottle.

QOTD: Four in hand for sure.

QOTD: I’d have to go with the full windsor or the shelby. I like a good triangular knot.

I dont wear ties or have ever done one for a guy. So I cant answer the q of the d 🙁 Oh well, nice zin episode gv!

Happy pre-Anniversary and B-day….enjoy!

QTOD: definitely full windsor or cross knot. I’m actually not sure which of these I do.

Havenâ??t had a California Zin in quite a while. Great show! Would love to get the secret four pack but Ian already set us up with some killer wine.

QOTD: Windsor

Oh love, such an easy question. My favorite knot is the Windsor, so elegant, so balanced what could be more perfect? Your grab bag of secret wines better be good, because I ordered and I’m disregarding the cellar list of “ready” wines I had previously designated for Thanksgiving.

Gary thanks for the shout out – the rest of the Fort Worth Jerks called me after they saw the episode! They would post but they’re still lurking! We would love to share a glass of vino with you if you’re ever in the DFW area. (Or Kansas City for that matter!)

Gary,
Very entertaining show. Thank you. Zins are always fun, but QPR on a zin is hard to find these days.
QOTD; I only know 2 knots full & half, I like the full windsor.

Frank Family rules. Can’t go wrong.

Can’t go wrong with the half windsor.

So let’s say I stash a few bottles in my luggage and take them with me. Should I be concerned with bottle shock or anything of that nature?

QOTD: No tie at all. Who invented that damn cholk chain anyway. I blame the English.

thanks GV. Zins are In. had a 2001 Ballentine tonight. not bad for $10. and Frank Family? Frank Family is a brilliant producer! love their Zins, the Sangioveses, and their Sparkling wines. try their Sparkling! excellent!

great epsisode all around. cheers!

Gary great episode i love zins. I bought the thanksgiving pack too 🙂

I will be there on dec 1st with the wifey too 🙂

QOTD:
-Uhhhh i dont know lol

The Frank Family Zinfandel sounds perfect.
QOTD: no ties in this household.

One of the main reasons I watch your show is your enthusiasm and joy in what you’re doing. It’s infectious and shines right through. This epsiode was a pure example of that.

QOTD: Gotta go with the half-Windsor. Nice shape, easy to tie neatly, and not too bulky for any collar.

Thanksgiving is my ALL-TIME favorite holiday. It’s just about food and family and being together. Even if we are invited elsewhere I always cook my own turkey because there is nothing in this world quite like leftovers. I grew up in a Russian/Polish/Czech family and I love their variations on the theme of American Thanksgiving. I think our dressing is the best, bar none.
QOTD: Are you friggin kidding me? I’m a chick. We don’t wear no stinking ties. Wear whatever you guys want, whatever blows up your Dockers.

GV, you made my day! I have been working like a mad man for the last week ( the hours are just sick) but a tonite, when I finally got home , a big glass of vino (3 Rings Aussie Shiraz) & watching WLTV & my mental attitude has gone from the pits to great ! Thank you! I am checking with our Thanksgiving dinner mates to see if they are in for the suprise pack – maybe have to get some Frank Family Zin also.
QOTD – tie ? what’s a tie ???? (avoid at all costs).

I love the show, I have one thing to say…stock. After watching a Frank Family hit 93 points, I must have it, and where is the only place I want to buy it you ask? The Wine Library of course. Unfortunately due to the popularity of the show, within ten minutes of a new episode going up, the wine is out and I cannot get the star of the show. You have now tasked me to go find that Zin and that will probably take a few hours out of my life. Please, not only for me, but for all the other saps who are now compelled to buy these fantastic wines, stock out the lineup like crazy. Even if there is no way to stock up enough for us GV devotees, at least throw down a list of comparables.

Now concertedly looking for that Frank Family Zinfandel,
Thaddeus

Having a devil of a time tracking down the Frank Family in Calgary, AB ,Canada, but seeing as we have our Thanks Giving a month earlier, there’s no reason to panic, but I am intrigued.

On the odd occasion that I wear a tie, I go for the full windsor, since its the first (and only) way I learned to tie a tie.
