Happy Turkey Day everyone: Eat, drink, and be merry! GV, loved the statement of the day. It’s very true what you said!

QOTD: I will fill you in when I do this tasting. I’m going to share the 4 Pack with my wine group in WI at school on December 2nd. Lindsay will be there too! We’ll let you know. And now I think I need to buy a decanter for that pinot!

Hm. No 4 pack here. Dang. If I could only buy a white wine for $6.99, never mind one that didn’t tremendously suck. I think I need to move south of the border.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Gary, sorry ’bout the Jets. I guess we’ll have to wait another week for Kellen Clemens to take center stage.

Great ThxGiving show…You’re right, FAMILY should be FIRST..Cheers

WOW…WHAT A DAY and what an episode. The only thing that has bothered me about the whole day is the disappointment I am feeling about the number of comments made on this Turkey Day episode. Only 69 comments when I started typing this and it is 915 pm here in Texas. The statement was made a few episodes back by GV that over 400 Turkey Day Packs where sold and there is only 70 or so comments. What the heck??????????? Anyways…………

QOTD: Due to so many family members being scattered over a dozen or so states now a days we was only able to have three generations at the table today. The wine tasting went great. Gary, there was several of us that thought you hit the nail on the head with every wine as to smell and taste. I was really surprised. My father, one Uncle, a Sister and two Brother’s had somewhat a different palate than the rest of us though. We had both an oven cooked turkey and a deep fried turkey and the Arenada along with the Bordeaux both tasted different with each of the two types of turkey. Really weard. Everyone but my wife liked the Pinot Noir and it had been opened three hours prior to eating. I wish I had more of the Pinot so that we could of tried it later in the evening after it had sat longer but with 16 of us doing the tasting we only had a small amount for each of us to taste as it was. I had initally asked most of my family who would be interested in a wine tasting on Turkey Day and only about five of them seemed interested at that time but once we got started everyone wanted in on it. If I had only known that everyone was going to take part I would of ordered another pack. It was really funny because I had brought 8 big ass wine glasses with me for the tasting, my sister had 4 more smaller wine glasses in her cabinet and we had to go knock on several of the neighbors doors to borrow the other 4 glasses needed. Those neighbors must of thought we was all nuts and or a bunch of winos. I was really surprised that only one of my brothers and I had ever watched WLTV in the past so needless to say everyone else was just totally blown away with you and your wine expertice. THANK YOU for such an invitation to make some very original memories with my family today. Your the greatest, Bill……….

Oh yes, just a little poke for fun at ya GV: the Cowboys was winning 24 to 3 when I had to leave to head home. Your number 24 ????? Hmmmmmm was having a little trouble….. :):):):):):):) Go Cowboys, catch em JETS…..

QOTD: Ordered the great thanksgiving box. I was really excited when I saw the wines, especially since I had had none of them! For this first Thanksgiving at my place I had my girlfriend (chelsea) and my good Friend Alejandro over

Torrontes: All of us LOVED the nose, none of us are white drinkers and this was a great start, really nice and fresh and lovely. GOD that nose. All of us have been turned on to Torrontes now. Thanks!

Monica: We really liked the nose on this wine. Those dirty socks just made it lovely. It complemented our cheese and pate for the start.

Pinot: “I” loved this wine. Loved the fruit and the GOD the nose, jesus the nose. Fan freakin tastic! I tasted some vegetal elements in this wine and I really liked it all. Alejandro wasn’t such a fan, but Chelsea did enjoy, and god did I love it!

Chambon: We let this wine decant for a couple of hours and I think it paid off: The nose on this was really interesting. Alejandro was head over heels for this wine. Myself I liked the earthy nose and the heavy tannins. I really smelled a vegital component and then on the taste was fantastic. A great super different close to our night.

Four wines, three people…we’re happy times!

Gary, Enjoy a nice meal and lots of wine with your family.

Hope everyone south of the big long border had a great Thanksgiving (which answers the QOTD – no 4-pack, no shipping to Canada).

And good luck on Black Friday!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! So much to learn just from watching GV go through these four winesâ?¦ 4-pack or not. Much love and best wishes to everyone going into Black Friday and the whole holiday season!

Had some Montes Alpha M, and Vellebelbo Il Palio Barbera D’Asti and Kakutomo sake for dessert with my wife, friends and peeps over here in Japan. Thankful for a lot. You’re right, Gary, at the end of the day all you have is family. Just think, will your boss or employee or whoever stick with you through thick and thin? Hells no. That’s why family must always come first and Thanksgiving is the day to really express love for all them.

Happy Gobbler Day

Hey, Gary, you are right. My father is in hospital this Thanksgiving. We were there being with him. His getting better very quickly, really nice. Family is important, Happy Thanksgiving!

Wahhhh! Not only did I not get the 4 pack, but I’m stuck in a foreign country where Yellow Tail is $40/bottle and everything local is just as pricey and corked to boot! I love the idea of being able to taste along with the show. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey GV,

Happy turkey day. Can’t wait to try our four pack. We were away yesterday, but will be doing the tasting tonight (Friday!!)

More comments then!

Hi, gary for thanksgiving i would like to hear “chateau la pelouse” with “the” for “la pelouse” at the end try again ! was funny to hear you with your thunder french accent ! 🙂
have a good work ! andshow a little respect for turkeys 🙂

Big fan of that Pinot.. Normally not a pinot fan but I have to say that IT paired the best with our food… it was amazing and I will be a repeat buyer of that!

Sad to say we were done with the food before the La Pelouse and it probably would have been better with food … but we drank it anyway 🙂

WOW!! Thanks for having one of my best wines on the show – Château Cambon La Pelouse. I’ve been drinking this wine for the past 3 years now and never been disapointed. I still have a couple of 2001’s and 2003’s left sitting in my cellar.

My QOTD: Can you guys ship wine to Canada Рmainly the province of Qu̩bec?

Crazy Thanksgiving 4-Pak Story…ok.
I bought the 4-Pak for my son/daughter in law in CA. The first delivery attempt was Sat, Nov 17. The delivery was attempted but they didn’t hear the door bell…3 young kids in their home so that may have been the reason The second one was attempted on Tuesday; they left a note for FedEx to knock when he attempted the delivery hoping the deliveror might be smart enough to realize that they really wanted the package and take extra steps to deliver the package…no luck. They missed it again. They were home but FedEx just screwed up.
You’re right, the next attempt came on Wed but they didn’t get it that day either…FedEx came 4 hours earlier than they did on the first two days and they were out. They contacted FedEx to see if they could pick up the wine but they would not provide that information, so no wine for them. Next year, I will have the 4-Pak sent to me and I will then re-pack it and send it out…since I am not a retailer, I can send it without the “Alcohol Labeling”. Next year may be a winner for us…
Hope your turkey was better than this story, but you wanted to know.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family Gary!!

GV: This was one of your best episodes. As I introduce more people to WLTV, this will now be the “starter” episode I will tell them to view first.

Suggestion of the day: How about every Monday you announcing the wines you are going to taste next week so we can track them down and always have the opportunity to taste them along with you?

PS: thanks for ditching the dark shirts and wearing a white-ish one today! It really does make it easier to see the true color of the wine when you swirl it.

“Left field, 3rd grade, and chewing on your glove. Holding your Pee-Pee.”
Another classic line from my man Gary VAY – NER – CHUK!!!!!!

I’m saving your 4-Pack for left-overs. Better flavors when it’s been sitting around for a few days.

Another top shelf WLTV classic great job all around, unfortunately I did not order the 4 pack since I was on call this Thanksgiving, and after reading the comments from previous viewers I think WLTV needs to do a Christmas 4 pack for sure. How crazy is it to think that you would be a millions of household on Dec 25th, personally I think it great. I did however get a chance to catch the Jets being stomped by the CB’s, you really need to look into taking them under your wing. Take care, looking forward to the next installment. Happy Thanksgiving

It was great receiving the surprise 4 pack in the mail–I enjoyed finding out what wines you had picked out. I had 4 adults at my Thanksgiving dinner and three of us were drinking wine and they were only willing to try one of the wines. I picked the Monica from Sardegna and read up on it a little in the Italian wine book by Joe Bastianich–I had never heard of this grape! It was wonderful to try something I had never heard of. We all liked the wine with our turkey, stuffing and potatoes. It went well with everything, not too tannic and was easy to drink. My sister and boyfriend liked it as well. My brother in law did not want to drink due to having to drive. I look forward to tasting the remaining three wines with my boyfriend with foods other than turkey. I enjoyed your Thanksgiving show and your message about family is very true.

Where is the best place to send a message to you? I think I have too many options and don’t know what the best one is. I am a facebook friend, twitter friend, pownce friend and myspace friend. Or I can leave a comment or email you.

Anyhow… have you heard this? http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16372623
