Thanks Gary for another solid show. Nice comment-amount yesterday 😉
I really don’t understand why Beaujolais Nouveau is still requested?
Everybody knows it’s a very very simple red, and for that effort quit expensive.
How can this still work? The only reason coming to mind is, the marketing,
the bottles look nice, and lots of customers (without noses and palates?)
who just drink the wine without giving further attention.

Hey Gary, way to be a buzzkill. Youâ??re always going on about how wine ought to be fun and enjoyable and how we ought to forget all the snobbery surrounding it. Well, whatâ??s less pretentious than Beaujolais Nouveau? Marketing gimmick? Absolutely. Tastes like grape juice? At best. But are people having parties every year to celebrate the release of Opus One? No one I know is. People celebrate the B-N release not because it’s good wine but because it’s a fun idea to ring in the new “wine” from the new harvest. Because, after all, the harvest — the farming — is what wine is all about. So, hand it to Georges Duboeuf and the rest of the French B-N makers: They’ve accomplished just what you’ve been after. They’ve made wine fun — at least one day per year. So check yourself, Sir Gary. You sounded an awful lot like a wine snob today.

GV your just a cool cat, and chris with his many comments on the vid is also a cool cat. Yeah and thanx to viddler for allowing chris to add his commentary

I actually saw a guy at my local Holiday Market buying 2 bottles of the 2007 Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau. For some strange reason I felt compelled to say “you know, Gary Vaynerchuk said that wine is really terrible.” But I could just see him saying “what the hell is a vaynerchuk?!” so I politely said nothing.

QOTD: Gary, you talked me into trying Dolcetto and thank you cause it’s awesome!

i would have never (or atleast not for a long while) tried a brunello if i hadn’t been watching wltv. so thank you gary. an expensive habit, but now a necessary one.

The Four Vines Naked Chardonnay and the Boudreaux Cabernet. Naked Chardonnay would have eluded me but its the answer to my complaint about oaked chards from CA AND without WLTV I never, never would have even considered Washington Cabernet, no way no how!

PS got my Thanksgiving package yesterday, looking forward to the show to share the wines.

QOTD: I would have never tried an Aglianico, no reason, just wouldn’t have.

…and the 2004 Coviv Aglianico Del Vulture RULES!

QOTD: Clio baby! I would have never bought that.

The 2003 Bovard Epesse Terre A Boire. I know very little about Swiss wine so having a recommendation encouraged me to try new things.

QOTD – ’02 Charles Creek Merlot… very nice, would never have found it in the cluttered array of choices at the local mart. thanks GV!

Hey, Already got the Frank Family! You can’t go changing it up on me 🙂

QOTD: Someone already mentioned it but, the Cambiata Tannat. It was a case of being at my local wine shop and seeing it on the shelf and having the vague notion it was the same one you had raved on. It was so yummy, I bought a couple more bottles to share. Thanks!

If you want the lurkers to post more, you should ALWAYS threaten to stop doing episodes…

Answer to the question of the day:

In one of the last episodes you talked about sincerre, and for once I knew what to choose on the wine list in the restaurant, that’s a big change for me!
I choose the sincerre knowing you recommended it, I was with my parents and they loved it! I loved it too BTW.
So thank for this little piece of you!

So have a great wine day!

Cheers!

QOTD – Italian wines. In particular the Felline Primitivo Di Manduria and the Altesino that you sold out of yesterday.

Hi Gary:

I don’t think there’s a particular wine I’ve sought out since watching WLTV, but the early episode on why you should decant your wine (using Amon Ra shiraz) really made a big difference in how I was able to better appreciate wine.

Regardless of how beajolais tastes there is still a mystique about it. There is something appealing about a wine that get sent all over the world at midnight as fast as is possible to be consumed very quickly in Europe, China, Australia, America etc.

QOTD: Felline Primitivo Di Manduria Changed my life. Period. I’ll never be a Cab snob again!

QOTD: Valpolicella, Dolcetto, and Aglianico – i am obsessed with all of them and never would have tried without you, love you for that gv really

Where is today (Friday)’s episode?!?

The odessey?!?!? Yes!!! We were too poor to have and atari so we got and odessey!! The racing game rocks!

Question of the day…. We had never tried a Barbera unitil watching the “Thunder Show”, this evening we opened a Barbera D’Allba, 05 and it was spectacular. Thanks for helping to enrich our wine enjoyment Gary, we love watching your podcast.
