Great episode. I agree politically, I cannot get Wine Library wine shipped to me in Wisconsin.
QOTD: I have never bought a full case of only 1 wine. I do not see myself ever doing that either.

Weeeee great show! I mostly buy half cases. I dont know why but I seem to be able to get 6 bottles past the wife easier than 12 ….dunno. Bought 6 most recently of the Noblaie Le chiens-chiens

Great epidoe! Good Job, DK!
QOTD: Never bought a case because i can’t afford it. I would love to, though.

Wow. Great ep. People might want to check out freethegrapes.org to learn about wine legislation issues.

You can always tell the blowhards…….they spit the wine out and sniff it with their head cocked to one side…….everybody is an expert now. Cherry, blackberry, strawberry, jammy, chewy……..these guys what fruit juice not wine.

Awesome week of WLTV. Sounds like you just described the wine laws here in Kansas. But there are ways…. that’s all I can say;)
QOTD… never bought a case of wine…sad, huh?

Excellent Show, nice job DK. I feel your pain, we can’t get wines from many places here in Wisconsin…

QOTD: No cases yet, plenty of half cases, but usually split cases with friends from a local wine dinner we attend.

Great episode and DK was spot on

QOTD: Most recent case purchases: Sansonnet 2003; Sansonnet 2002; Reuscher-Haart Kabinett Piesporter Goldtröpfchen 2005; Prisoner 2005

I just watched your “suck bite” episode with Conan. That was nuts. He must have been a huge personality to keep up with you in a setting like that, day after day. I am impressed. The guy is like seven feet tall in the video. Those guys seem goofy on TV, but they must seem really daring in person.

aloha, living out here on the big island of hawaii for last four years. Got into wine through fine dining industry. not too into really expensive wines but came across a very fine tasting wine for great price $9.99 and its name is BITCH! my girl friend and i are always looking for a nice every other day drinking wine that doesn’t cost much that we can sit down with and watch the va ner chuck with . loved it think its a great price and bought a case on advance for jan 15th after we get back from chi town for a friends wedding! so aloha come on out to paradise sometime and do a show on the beach with the dolphins swimming by and humpback whales singing in the back ground and have a glass of BITCH from my first case of wine ive purchased. love the show keep up the great work of art that is your show. gotta admit im a little buzzed but i’ll see ya tomorrow laters and mahalo, melekalekemaka

First case of wine I ever bought: 1979 Schmitt Söhne Piesporter Michelsberg Riesling Kabinett. It was really lovely: incredible, intense burst of Granny Smith apples, a crisp acidity that was as fresh as could be, steely, rain washed granite notes, lingering finish with pears and honesuckle, and an intensely “alive” quality. It was the first wine I fell in love with, and it was affordable enough for a semi-starving grad student to buy.

Everybody that tried it at my tiny apartment loved it, and the wine store ran out. Alas, the 1980 was nowhere near as exciting, and I’ve never really found a Riesling I liked as well.

That has to be one of the BEST SHOWS YET GV. DK, one nice job man. Unbeleavable…………

QOTD: I have never been able to get a whole case. Maybe someday…..

Good job DK!

QOTD: I’ve never bought a case, I get bored too easily…like to keep trying something new.

VERY IMPRESSIVE JOB DK. PENNSYLVANIANS, GET ON BOARD HERE

QOTD: Recently (in the last month): 3 cases of Cayuse Cailloux 2005; some for gifts, 1 case of Cayuse Bionic Frog 2005, trying to get a case of ’04 Cayuse Armada 3 bottles down 9 to go, 1 case of Beaux Freres upper terrace 2006 (futures), 1 case of Boudreaux Cellars Reserve! cab 2004. Yea I like Northwestern US juice.

I have not bought a case in 20 years. 1/2 cases yes of Bordeaux’s and a few CA cabs but usually only 3 bottles of anything nowdays. Great job on the interview today. Enjoyed the guest shots. Keep it up and what do have to bet to get on?

I’ve never bought a case, but if I did, it might be the 2005 Domaine de Pierredon Cotes du Rhone. That stuff is cheap but when I tasted it, I was blown away by the quality. It would be an excellent everyday wine I’d like to have on hand. Otherwise, I’d like to buy a case of perhaps Chateau Lascombes or Chateau Margaux and do an ageing test, you know, taste one every few years to see how it evolves.

I’ve bought a few cases, but the one that sticks out the most was my case of 2001 Antinori Tignanello which I bought after drinking 3 bottles on the Disney Wonder cruise ship last winter. One of the best investments of my limited wine experience.

GARY WHO!
DK ROCK ON!

great episode, DK was right on the nose with those wines. Knowledgeable also which is a big plus. Too bad about his Ravens tho.

QOTD: Don’t have either the knowledge or the funds to throw down on a case. Hopefully in a couple years I will have both and be able to answer the question.

Great show GV & DK.

Never had a wine yet that made me buy a case.

For years I have bought most of my wine in case lots and still purchase “table/daily” wine that way . Since I am older than Sascha I am beginning to be concerned that many wines I enjoy may outlive me; 2000 porto, 2001 barolo, 2005 bordeaux to name a few. I am now looking at purchasing in smaller lots although my 20 year old sons are still encouraging me to procure in larger lots…we know what they’re thinking.
As I look back I would advise the college viewers to find a way to buy some good wine and perhaps you could store it in a cool spot in your parents basement. I have a few 1975 from the year I was married it is such a treat…history in a bottle.

Top 249, this rules!

David was great.

QOTD: some of the 2005 bordeaux.

btw, was your weekend mission of mercy travelling to Foxboro???

Great show, DK was great, very enjoyable guest. Should have him and his antics on more often if possible.
