  • Great show and nice to see even you go 0-3. I do it all the time.

    QOTD: Eastern Market in DC, Whole Foods and Harris-Teeter in that order.

    Cheers except the Cheaters won again! Are the refs getting paid off?

    Dom

    P.S. I would spank you like a newborn in paper football!

  • QOTD: Specifically? Superstore, Italian Center South, 99 Supermarket for asian stuff and weird meats. And my dad’s – cause that’s where we store all our game meats and garden root vegetables.

    QOTD: Wegmans. I love Wegmans. Price gouging and all- quality can’t be beat.

  • ScottyZ

    QOTD: Giant Eagle, Trader Joes, and on days like today…i grab a few essentials at a hole in the wall market near my apartment. They were out of bread and their milk expires tomorrow…so i just got a couple mega millions tickets instead.

    I live in Lincoln Park in Chicago, for everyday I go to the local grocer called “Big Apple” but then we try to do a big shop at Whole Foods and then cab it back home. It helps that a huge wine store is right by there!

  • Steven Wyatt

    Wegmans in Ithaca, NY (HI RIESLING RON, 10 comments or so above!) Gary there are at least 2 Ithacans, you need to answer my “Ask Gary” question about Finger Lakes wines. Anyway, Wegmans would be the best grocery store in the world if they sold wine (they literally everything else- what gives?)

    See Gary, Im commenting and there is no contest!

  • thepiratedoc

    Gary I am so proud of you for going oh-fer on the picks! In your own place, too. Humility is a gift!
    QOTD: My wife does the food shopping @ Food Lion, WalMart, or Lowe’s unless it’s a special meal and then I do all the leg work. I do all the wine shopping at Lowe’s or my local wine shop, Priscilla’s. What do you do with the greenpoints, Passthecab?!?

  • JonE

    Too bad on the PV G-Man. But then again 02′ spain was pretty rocky..? And the NORA, come on that’s
    a crowd pleaser. I’m not saying there’s a wow factor there, but for an entry level foray into the Albarino -it works.

    QOTD: Harris Teeter,Lowes, Fresh Market, and when I get a chance A Southern Season. But I long for the days of Wegmans in my past.

  • Jeff D.

    QOTD: when I actually do shopping, I go to the Albertson’s on Live Oak Ave and Santa Anita Ave in Arcadia. But in Princeton … well, since I don’t really have to do shopping, I usually buy my snacks at the Princeton U-Store since I have an employee discount.

  • Great Beginning, Great Ending, to bad the wine’s made the show lack on the mid-palate. HAHA
    Great show as always, would love to keep seeing the store!

    QOTD: I usually get wines at Central Market or World Market. Occasionally I’ll pick something up at Kroger (it’s about a minute from my house) but it doesn’t really have the best selection of complex wines.

  • David M Roberts

    Liked the brief tour of WL (kind of like Benny Hill with samba music). How about the full tour as a kind of holiday open house deal? The place is immense, and would be fun to see the whole space.

  • Kristen

    Of course TommyBoBo of WI, you can find wine in Madison…you should just come to Barriques! Or if you’re talking about WL’s wine, just have a Rhode Islander as a friend…they’ll bring it back on the plane!

    Thanks for objectively rating the wines today GV! I appreciate that you would tell us the truth about them and go 0 for 3 in your shopping spree at WLTV, which is a gorgeous store by the way!

    QOTD: I go to Trader Joes down the street and to Capital City Foods when I need to get “mainstream” grocery items. Though, when I’m in RI it’s Shaw’s.

  • Mike Z

    Madison, WI is a great town!!! I lived there 8 yrs and visit often. There ARE good wine shops there (pay attention TommyBoBo!): Barriques, Steve’s, etc… Check ’em out. Lots of my collection is from those stores.
    QOTD: We shop at Henry’s and Trader Joe’s in San Diego… We stay away from “Whole Paycheck”
    GV- have you ever done a show with Mott as your co-host or special guest?

  • cgatesman

    QOTD: Stew Leonard’s!

  • QOTD: Safeway because it is the closest but I would go to Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s instead if they were closer

    BTW GARY: This is sort of a weird compulsion/impulse of mine after I started tasting wine regularly: When I’m in the shower I get water in my mouth and pretend it’s wine and swish it in my mouth and spit it out. Same?

  • Grape Expectations

    Wow, what a spectacular place Wine Library looks to be. I may have to take a vacation to New Jersey just to spend a couple of days browsing around.

    QOTD: Did you really mean “food” shopping??? Just in case you did, I buy my food at a local high-end chain called Haggen (which also has a pretty nice wine department and gives 10% discount when you buy 4 bottles). If you meant “wine” shopping, then, other than the above mentioned Haggen, I buy mostly at Compass Wines in Anacortes, WA. A locally owned shop that specializes in Washington wines but also carries a good selection from other parts of the country/world. They are really nice, helpful, down-to-earth folks. And they frequently have free tastings (with the winemakers present). What more could you want. I’d probably buy from Wine Library if they would do whatever it is that needs to be done so they can ship to Washington . . .

    QOTD: Whole Foods, PCC, QFC, Costco and during the summer, farmer’s markets. I gotta wonder though, do you read these answers?? I mean, do you really care where I buy my food, GV? I’d rather you just keep on keepin’ on with the show than read about my shopping habits, personally. Thanks for another good one!
