QOTD: If I could, I’d buy a case of the 2005 Peconic Bay Cabernet Franc. But I can’t. Know why? CUZ I LIVE IN INDIANA, BABY! (one of the few states with goofier drinking laws than Maryland … but not Pennsylvania).

David, you were right ON TARGET and well-justified for the rant. I kept waiting for the Sam-Kenison yelling, but I guess you’re more disciplined than I.

Did Kramer not comb his hair to go for the Seinfeld Kramer look? Gary, letting a Vayniac pillage your store on a Friday is a great concept.

I bought a case of Angelini Pinot Grigio this summer because I could drink it and not think about it and it was cheap.

Okay, that had some serious sauce.

How fortunate we are out here in the stix to be able to buy all the wine we want off the internets.

QOD: Three of these and four of those, and I think I bought half a dozen ESJs all at once, but I don’t think I’ve ever bought a full case of anything. Mainly because 1) I don’t have room for that kind of thing, and 2) I’d get bored drinking the same stuff all the time, even if it was something I liked.

Excellent ep. Nice job Mr Guest “drinker”.

QOTD: Not counting cases purchased for my wedding, only once, Treana Viogne ’03 that I found after I thought it was all long gone. It’s my wife’s favorite and you need to do this type of purchase once in a while to allow for the purchase of wines she does not like at all, in other words my wines! 🙂

GV I just wanted to say this was the greatest week for me mostly because I had these great shows to come home to every night. You and your first guest raised the bar really high.

I do hope these out of date laws get thrown under the table once and for all and maybe it’s time for us to get together to make some of these changes. I’m very fortunate to live in Virginia where I can order from the WL!

QOTD: My first case will be an Albarino, I just don’t know which one yet. Thanks for turning me on to all these different wines and champagnes!

QOTD: we’ve never bought a case – too many different wines out there
Was that guy a ringer? Very entertaining. Didn’t get a lot of the football references though. You’ll have to explain them in footnotes.

100 pt. show gentelman! it took 371 episodes to finaly capture what wine is all about…hangin’ with friends, nerdin’ with the wines, and bsin’ about life! David, i like your wine selections/balls to choose them and nice job speakin up to the world! QOD – i have yet to find a wine a can’t live without, when that time comes I’ll two case it!

casillero del diablo’s 2005 carmenere. cheap, great, and can drink the case without feeling like you need to save the good stuff for a special occasion.

Hellyah, homey! Balmer Ravens represent!!! Caw! Caw! Caw!

Hey Mott, where’s the link he asked for, for everyone to email Gov Martin O’Malley, so that the Gov can champion the cause of repairing those stupidass liquor laws? I mean, I’ve purchased FOUR orders from WL, and I’ve had to ship them to friends in VA and TX, fercisakes.

Gary, I’ll be drivin’ up I-95 next summer to pick up my 2005 Bordeaux order, that will give you a chance to put another Raven on the Friday show (and I swear I’ll go easier on the $$ than my homey just did today).

QOTD: haven’t bought an entire case of any wine – yet. If I did, it would probably be the Castano Hecula.

Caw!! Caw!!

So what was the back half of the bet? What if the JETS had actually won? Good Episode, good poise, good wine.
MG in NC

Good show Gary. You looked scared for the last 3 minutes or so.

QOTD: Never ordered a case. I love trying new wines, plus I don’t usually roll that big.

Very cool episode.
QOTD the Mazzei Serrata Di Belguardo from a really old episode.

Great episode and nice job VaynerGuest!
Guess I need to find a reason to venture out to the East coast and represent the So Cal’ers

Oh yeah – QOTD.

I have never bought a case of something. Six pack is as far as I will go. I would rather have 2 six packs of wine I love versus a case of 1 wine.

However, I wish I had a case of 1997 S.L.W.C. Cask 23.

All I can say is props man – Great rant and definately set the bar high for future hosting guests. And also, now I think I need to find a Duoro to try.

QOTD – I haven’t bought a case of anything yet, but after the episode with the Hermit Crab from D’Arenberg, I’ve been trying their wines which I’ve really enjoyed. Who knows, I might end up with a case of something from them sometime soon – either the crab, the reisling mix or their GSM.

So that’s why Gary spits…;-)
Great show guys, well done!
QOTD: Piña 2004 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

QoTD: I haven’t bought a case of wine yet.

That was a fun episode. And the wine was interesting, too. While you’re at it, would you mind contacting someone in Georgia about the corrupt wine distribution network. I would sure like to be able to order from Wine Library.

QOTD: We haven’t bought a case. We prefer to keep trying different wines.

QOTD: Tried to buy a case of 2002 Fairview Pinotage, which is BY FAR the greatest valued wine I’ve ever had because it was only around $16 and was spectacular. Unfortunately, the guy only had two bottles left and couldn’t get more of that vintage, and nobody has it anywhere else in Iowa.

I have never purchased a box of wine (I’m not ballin’ like that… yet) but I still have yet to find one that I absolutely can not live without. I have found several that would not want to live without though, so it’s close.

Gary, you need to recognize your female fan base!

Nice rant David, like yourself I live in a No Ship state and I feel your pain down to my inner core. I highly doubt the Utah Government will ever loosen the laws to allow shipments, even though they estimate loosing over a million dollars a year in tax revenue from not allowing it. Let’s hope the Maryland Gov watches the Thunder Show.

QOTD: Boxcar Syrah ’05.

Great Job DK!!!!!

BTW, you’re ratings of these wines are forever recorded in the SS, and therefore on WL site and in CellarTracker!!!

QOTD: Two of Tensley’s 2005 Syrahs (both the “Colson Canyon” & the “Three Creek”)

DK, the constant smug look on your face is killing me. We’ll write it off to nerves.

DK rocks………..very interesting episode.

QOTD: The only case I’ve bought was 3-4 years ago at the NYS Wine Festival at Watkins Glen. A 100% Merlot from Thirsty Owl Vineyards. Actually, hald of it was a Xmas present for my daughter-in-law, who is wild about Merlot. I drank the other 6 bottles and it was good stuff.
