What a guy…….

QOTD: ROAD TRIP….the wifeee wife and I are taking the two dachshunds and heading down the road for New Years and this time without a place to go. No plans, no schedules, no clocks, no care and no idea what we will be drinking come New Years. But, we will be drinking something from a vineyard somewhere in the lower four middle states. Not a big choice I know. Have a great happy New Year……

QOTD- we are working on that now. Living in PA, selection is limited.

Where’s the sniffy sniff on the steak?
My wife wanted to know 🙂

QOTD: I have yet to find any champagne here in Serbia that was not a big mass market label, so I am going to have a Prosecco and perhaps a little rakija.

Got my wife to watch the tasting show with and she is offically a new Vayniac!!

we’ll be drinking the Hess Mountain Cuvee (94 pts W&S and under $30 bones….try it on the show Gary!!!) and an assortment of Proseccos! Happy Holidays!

GV: Thanks for the day after Christmas episode.

QOTD: I’m thinking that we’ll be enjoying our Christmas gift from WL.com. The bottles of Chateau De Braude Bordeaux. And a few bottles of Domaine Chandon – RICHE will be around to bring in the New Year.

start with a bloody mary, get to multiple varietals of beer (hah!), then finish with an ultra cheap asti.

QOTD: Legras Brut Rose Champagne!

Bollinger Special Cuvee – Preceeded by BV & Squirt

Hey man, I always try to leave comments-screw the contests!! I finally bought a decanter and decanted some Pinot (the one from the Thanksgiving pack, which was awesome by the way) on Christmas-I’ve now been converted.
QOTD: We are going to some restaurant/club with friends so they probably will only have crappy sparkling wine!

Great episode fun stuff, sweet steak!
QOTD Idk exactly yet, but it wont vueve for sure. Most likely some reds.

Hey Gary,
Is that an “Everything Is Illuminated” bottle in the background on top of that wine rack to the left? Please explain.

I am opening a’96 Quintessa 3 lit. for dinner and then popping a ’86 Renaudin Rose L’Espiegle Mag. at midnight.

QOTD: Not a big champagne guy (gives me instant headaches). I will probably be drinking wine, beer and booze. Gonna run the gambit!

QOTD: Perier-Jouet Flower label 1988
Great show.

QOTD – I’ll be drinking the Coutier Brut Rose (from your B-day show). Looking forward to it!

QOTD: I am not sure what I’m drinking on New Year’s Eve… I don’t have any plans as of yet. But, I will say that bubbly isn’t my style so I probably won’t drop major change on a bottle of it — more likely a big Cab. !

1990 Clicquot Grande Dames…sorry, picked it up for a song locally.

Probly pop an H. Billiot NV alongside it…

Thanks for doing a show the day after Christmas!

QOTD: Some bubbly from the Finger Lakes

I like the new emphasis on food-wine combinations, especially the unexpected ones. Good job!

My wife and I had some of the Radikon whites at a tasting. Very interesting stuff. One of them made me think of decaying dead leaves and the beginning of winter — but in a good way. I’m not sure what food I’d put it with, but I thought it was very intriguing wine.

QOTD. Don’t know. It depends on the food.

GV- Thanks for the full year that I personally have been watching and can’t wait for ’08…that being said, I will be drinking coffee on New Year’s Eve because, alas, the bad guys won’t take a day off for the joyous celebration 🙁

Gary,
Great show!!

QOTD: I will be going to a party in New York where the host will probably serve Sutter White Zinfandel and Korbel Champagn. I will bring two bottles of Schmitt Sohne Liebfraumilch (I have this feeling that ts is Germany’s version of Boonesfarm but at least it isn’t White Zin and most of the women there just want something “sweet” anyway), a 2005 Chateau St Jean Fume Blanc for me, and from Virginia I’m bringing a bottle of Jamestown Cellars Settlers’ Spiced Wine, and two bottles of Hartwood Red from Hartwoon Winery in Hartwood, Va. It is a really good semi-dry red that people who aren’t into reds always like…yet it has a very unique character that isn’t cool-aid or like anything you will find in a grocery store. I know you don’t think much of Virginia wines, but to me, many of these smaller wineries are like microbrew beers that are unique and different from the national brands. And since I will not far from your area, I will stop in your store on Saturday and buy a bottle of Mailly Grand Cru.

QOTD: a 95 D’Yquem in half bottle form, a 95 Chateau Angelus, and hopefully the order I put in can get here by monday from you guys, if not, I’ll be drinking a Feuillate NV Brut Rose to go along with those amazing bordeauxs
