Well, I really love Champagne, especially with food more than anything, but I’ll probably be sipping on that on New Year’s as well. I’ve never tried a really nice prestige cuvee Champagne, or even a vintage Champagne for that matter. That’s what I want to try. And as Champagne isn’t as much my specialty as other things, I’d be up for some quality recommendations. Anybody got one?? Otherwise, I’d definitely go for a nice Chateau Margaux or something of the likes. Except I’d probably be sleeping by midnight because I’d down the whole bottle myself. Heh heh.

QOTD: New years eve – after seeing twee eps where the 2002 Bordeaux Vintage was tasted, I will drink some Lafon Rochet 2002.

And I need some Champagne to bubble as well, dunno which one yet.. How about a nice Champagne episode? 😀

Hi Gary,
I am really enjoying your shows with guests, but sometimes you come across as being disrespectful to your guests. If you think someone is a loser, don’t have him on the show. Take the higher ground, and treat people as you would want to be treated.

QOTD: New Year’s Eve: I think I’ll be working that night, so I’ll keep my answer within the realm of our wine list rather than what I have at home: I’ll try to snag a glass of Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Rose Champagne… but one of our by-the-glass red specials is more likely.

So honest to god my first impression of William is exactly what you would think of an upper east side somm. But turns out he was a pretty cool dude. Good show

QOTD: For a bubbler it would be Krug Clos de Mesnil (gotta love the blanc de blancs) and for an other wine perhaps a bottle of 1995 Le montrachet with a couple of great friends/family.

QOTD: d’Yquem

Bill seemed a really cool guy. He was a really good sport about you giving him a hard time, and had a great dry sense of humor. His dryness juxtaposed with your in-your-faceness was a great combo. You guys seem like a good team.

QOTD: Probably a vintage champagne with my wife. Not sure which yet though. Grower and Thiese most likely.

qotd……. red, either a granache or shiraz….. mostly barossa

What a great episode!
I saw Woody perform there last week and got autographed book!
Yes, prices are outrageous for what the café offers, but show was incredible.

Garry,
I love Loire wines.
Recently I had mind boggling Savenierres.
I think Loire whites episode is long overdue.

even though you were busting on his pledge pin, i dig william. so far, he is my favorite this week. great selection too.
qotd: new years. classic bollinger is a great 40 bucks well spent. my friend just bought a 1990 angerville volnay 1er cru champan. boom! that is what i am talkin’ about.
last year we had an 1982 aloxe – corton and an 1989 savigny 1er cru haute jarons

Since Gary´s sick of the comments ;), may I just say that Bill is HOT!

QOTD: a sparkling… maybe I´ll try the Ana Codorniu rosé…

Vouvray…Chenin…around here we call it “gateway” wine. We use it like methadone to get rookies of off bombastic CA chards.

Very nice to see you out and about and out of your elememt. This is a great idea for a nation wide production. You can call it “All roads lead to Wine” with Gary Vee your host…lol

I’l be drinking Cristal Rose 1996 on new Years.

After that, I was actually going to ask you to recommend something so if you read this please get back to me. You have my 45.com emial adresss….if not Dennis has it.

Thanks

QOTD: NYE drink of choice– Dunah, Sangiacomo, 2004 Pinot Noir

I’m really digging this wine tour. Please keep them coming. QOTD – a Rose champagne.

QOTD: I’m thinking maybe an aged Riesling. I better get my ’90s in the mail darnit! Being a young’un that’s aged enough for me! 🙂

I had a dream last night in which William was GV and vice versa. Picture GV with some pomade in his hair, the glasses, & tie and William all frazzled and hyped up over the Jets.

NYE – I’m looking for a sparkling Chenin Blanc. Do you where I can find some?

QOTD – Moving from a Merlot to a Cab…on New Years! LMAO

Gary-WOW! Love this wine by the glass thing!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!! 🙂

GARY-QOTD: 2003 Edmeades Mendocino Ridge Zinfandel. See the forum for details!!!
🙂

QOTD: a sparkling wine that sounded good.. says that it has hints of almonds..mmmm

those wines are not my style, nor worth the price-but not the club I would frequent anyway
QOD- For new years, duval leroy champagne. With dinner- ’96 silver oak

Great show….William is a keeper….he is the straight guy in your over the top comdey act….laurel and hardy…sans the fat suit 🙂

I would drink on old Bordeaux …1982 Mouton Rothschild ,,,,,,but that at is fantasy land….I this year…I will have a 2000 Lynch Bages and enjoy every last sip….no spitting!!!!!!

Another nice field trip episode! It’s nice to live vicariously through GVNC because more than likely none of us will ever visit the inside of that room.

QOTD: To know this would take planning and I don’t often pre-plan my wine drinking. Usually I reserve special bottles for T-day or Christmas, to go with the great food, and then just role with it for New Year’s. This year though at some point I’ll probably be drinking the 1997 Argyle Extended Tirage Bubbly…either before or after several PBRs!

Does anyone else think Bill looks out of his element? He clearly knows a lot about wine so I don’t mean that, but he just doesn’t seem like he’s meant to look so…stuffy.

QOTD: I’m determined to break out of the cheap champagne mold this year (think Andre) and buy some reasonably priced Proseccos and sparkling wines for everyone to drink at my party.
