Qotd: Antrim's 1844, over 2,300 selections and I'm surprised at how low their mark ups are for a restaurant

    Love the on location episodes lately GV, well done!
    LMAO on that end clip, wow, that was some funny sh*t!
    QOTD: Purans because I can bring my own bottle for a corkage fee of $5 😉 AOC is my second favorite place to drink wine in L.A. amazing selection of wine by the glass, think they offer around 50 wines by the glass.

    Sorry, but out here in the stix the Venn diagram where good restaurant wine list meets good price does not exist–especially by the glass. Although there’s this wine shop in West Des Moines …

    QOD: the front porch. My food is better, my wine is better, my stems are better, my prices are better.

    Thanks for the show!

    QOTD: I work right next to Morrell Wine Bar. It’s located in Rockefeller Center and has a great wine by the glass list. Ask for Will behind the bar. He’s very friendly and knowledgeable. They have by the glass some higher end wines (2003 Pontet Canet) as well as some fantastic yet more obscure wines from the Loire Valley and lesser known regions of Italy. It has been a great source of my wine education.

    QOTD: no specific place as it is pretty rare to find something out here on the prarie but I would say that if I know the bartender that always makes it a better experience and let’s me try different things.

    Very interesting as always. Great mood lighting for drinking and eating, but not for video.
    QOTD: Mirabelle at Beaver Creek, CO. A once a year treat because of the high price.

  • well in yountville ca there is a place called Groezingers. That is the best place other then your house to drink wine but it’s not a restaurant. It’s a wine merchant.

    The best restaruant to drink wine is Nora’s wine bar & osteria on the west side of Vegas!

    Pazzo Italian Cafe in Rocky Hill or Glastonbury, Connecticut. No liquor license so it’s BYOB. I can drink my expensive bottles for the price I paid and eat great food.

  • WLTV-On-Location: Informative episode, and it’s fun to see guests and a different setting. Good stuff.

    QOTD: Hmm… Sometimes I like to drink wine at a restaurant because that restaurant serves amazing food. Other times, it’s because I simply enjoy the ambiance—the restaurant is just a great cozy comfy place to sip a while. I’m not into the habit of choosing restaurants solely for their wine lists, and I don’t have a favorite wine bar.

    No matter what restaurant I’m at, if something enjoyable catches my eye when I glance over the wine menu, and the place has a great atmosphere, and I’m with good company, and the food is tasty, then I’m a happy lady.

    Panned vintages: I’ve been experimenting with this off & on for a while. I love to spend significantly less money than I would for a raved-about vintage, plus these are wines I can drink now or soon. Sure, sometimes I bring home a bottle of not-so-good wine, but when I open a good or great wine wearing a “bad” year on its label, I get stupidhappy.

    End clip: Hilarious.
