  • Hey Gary, a few things:

    – QOTD: I have 4 decanters and use them often.
    – It’s hard to find someone annoying on a written wine blog 🙂
    – My girlfriend is a huge Giants fan, and I am a big Lions fan (although it was easier to admit 7 games ago)…so it was even harder for me to admit how much I love the show!

    Happy Holidays!

    gv man, i agree with others that you’ve gotta let a man like this get a sentence out. that said, he did provide a ton of great and interesting information, even if he got cut off 42 times ;D

    Great show, great guest. When it first popped up and I saw 35 minutes I thought it would getting boring, but when it was over, I hoped it would go on longer. What a wealth of information.

    QOTD:I decant everything I drink even the cheap (inexpensive) stuff.

    Gary V. please taste the Tre Donne Barberra. I thought I knew something about Bordeaux, after watching this I now know that I don’t.

    So much great information to absorb in 30 minutes! I’ve never personally used a decanter. But I do use the Vinturi-which aerates the wine as it pours into the glass. Much faster than traditional decanting.

  • Billr

    GV GV GV HMMMM…HMMM..HMM

    This is an episode that I will be watching many more times in the future. It was so full of interesting information from both of you. You can really tell how much both of you are so in tune with what has happened and what is happening in that part of the wine world. I aplaud your respect for JD and his part of the wine world, and both JD and you for being so in love with what you two do. GREAT show………..

    QOTD: I have never decant but after today, THAT IS CHANGING. At least for now.

  • Darlene O.

    Whoa!! Great episode!! Loved it Gary, and by-the-by, JD is a cutie!! Sexy as hell!! OK, back to the QOD: I do decant, but usually the more old-world wines. If find new-world wines almost fall out after decanting.

    Jeffrey Davies TKO! GV hung in there with the punches but hands down man.

    This is absolute proof that there is hope for Californians(2evolve!). IMHO.

    Decant hell M.Fing. Yeah…thats the same as serving beer in a frozen glass on a hot day after work.

    GV, peace with a some lurker love bro, keep it coming.

    Is this show enough pressure to make me purchase from the the WL? Hrmmmm.

    It is so worth the price to buy these wines and compare palates with GV and JD…I only wish YOU two would have made direct tasting notes for each bottle as a follow up.

    Hats off!

    AWESOME SHOW… period.
    QOTD: The decanter is has been on the radar, so for now I can only pour and wait for my biga$$ glass to do it, but I wait while talking stories with family and friends so it all works out fine. I’ll get off my lazy rear and get one… y’er right, pop-n-pour is so easy.

  • Before WLTV it was always pop and pour. There were various times I tried looking for some information online such as what temperature to serve each kind of wine etc. etc. Never really getting to far into it, I suppose I was intimidated by the wine world.

    So the only answer I have for the QOTD is ignorance.

  • Paul M

    Great episode, such wine credibility, really nice to have someone like him give a nod to WLTV.

    QOTD: I decant most reds, even if it is just to filter (as more and more wines seem to be going unfiltered) and aerate in a wide mouth decanter and then pour back into the bottle (rinsed if it has sediment) if it is ready to go.

    A very informational episode

  • Grasshopper

    What a wonderful episode. Mr. Davies is incredibly knowedgeable and seems like such a Gentlemen!! He even out analogized the King of Analogies on oak being “makeup” when applied to heavy……..nice!

    Couple housekeeping issues;

    “Double Dueces” also affectionately know as “Little Joe” for anyone who likes to toss the dice…:)

    “Sheep bung hole”.. GV, how did you train your pallet for that??..;)

    I know I touched on this yesterday, but now I have to ask you take the rest of the year off! I can not sit here and watch/hear about another wine I want to own…and now your evening throwing in rocks from the vineyard!!!…..my trigger finger is itching and I need counceling….”STOP ME BEFORE I BUY AGAIN!!!!!!

    Great job Sensei!
