Great episode so good to have you back Gary!!! Loved the MV shout out gotta rep the hometown.
QOTD Hopefully will make it out to a few vineyards while in Cali in march and will be at Winelib for sure!

Not sure if I like how you started the show hate’n on my Packers and Favre. I may have to re-think watching WLTV…

Naw, welcome back.

Welcome back, GV! Nice job Mott. . .I really thought was doing the show this time around.

QOTD: I don’t travel. . .which is kind of sad. BUT, I’d love to go to the Wine Library. I wonder if I could fly back with some wine? Or would airport security drink it all just to make sure I wasn’t up to any shinanigans. 😛

Don’t be dissing Brett, the football gods won’t be happy. Not to mention WIvayniacs. Packers 27 Giants 17. Patriots 31 Bolts 10. Jets 2nd pick in draft or is it 3rd?

You don’t have to spit into the bucket, you can spit on to it.

What Up Gary V!

QOTD: This year we are being conservative on money… so no trips for us. We will be buying many bottles of wine at different price points and trying them out. Today we bought 3 at an $8 and are testing them out. Today was Mano a Mano wine…

Next week we’ll bump it up to $15… But we will be taking a trip to Portugal early next year. We will experiment with wine there.

Good to have you back!

Cheers
– Rick

Hey GeeVee … welcome back! We definitely missed our fix of WLTV!

Thanks once again for bringing us another lesser known varietal!

QOTD: Actually … Darcey and I may be coming to NYC March 17, for a week, for vacation!!! We are freakin’ excited about the idea. We won’t have a car but we sure would like to visit you and/or the Wine LIB (maybe an easy train ride??? Pray tell)! So … maybe we’ll finally meet for a glass or two, if you’re in town then!

Keep up your good work; you have some very dedicated fans!

Not that we didn’t miss you, but we were so stoked to see Mott on the other side of the table! Maybe once a week we can have “Mott Time” where he picks and tastes a bottle…..then he can go off on a million tangents and yell at someone else to “Link It Up!”

QOTD: I’m thinking of relocating to the Salem, OR area. I have some family up in Washington, so maybe I’ll make a check-it-out/family reunion/visit Walla Walla trip.

Welcome back!

So glad you are back, I have someone to share my dinner with now 🙂

QOTD: headin’ for Washington and Oregon in April woohoo!

QOTD: Maybe big Maybe but Germany is possible

Your retiring sniffy,sniff!!! That is wrong,wrong you can’t do it, do it!!!

I visited the Wine Library a couple of days before Christmas, and it was packed. Probably do the same next year as I travel back to Jersey for Xmas every year.

Retire sniffy-sniff? You must be joking. Next you’ll be saying you’re going to retire the Oak Monster. Ridiculous.

Gary,

Gracias for the shoutout but I’m a dude, dude. I ain’t no chick!

QOFD:

ANY WINE TRIP would be a nice wine trip. I guess if you consider going to HK to stock up on cheap Penfolds a “wine vacation” you can count that!

welcome back GV!
I am planning my first trip to Napa for spring ’09 so I can make the Vayniac Cab release party on same trip. I am headed to Vegas mid March, which is a great place for drinking wine. Other then that I will try to make a trip through the Finger Lakes.

Can’t wait for the Patriots vs. The New York Football Giants in the Superbowl.

QOTD – Quick trip to Napa from a meeting in SF. Possibly (maybe next year) biking through Rioja and Ribera del Duero with DuVine Adventures this summer.

QOTD: Planing to visit New York and Wine Library in May.

Welcome Back Gary, its seems like you were gone for a month.
QOTD: Walla Walla in June.

I picked up The Nine (the Supreme Court book) over the holidays, but haven’t started reading it yetâ?¦ good to know you dug it, and good to see you back in action.

QOTD: I was actually planning a trip to NYC, and trying to figure out a way to get to WL from thereâ?¦ looks like I’ll need to rent a car.

Glad you are back!

QOTD: We have our annual trip planned to Herman, MO and my wife and I are celebrating our 10th anniversary this year so we have started kicking around the idea of going to Sonoma. I hope it works out because she deserves it.

I need to add one more wine trip. The 2nd annual Official Vayniac Party in Chicago.

Gary, you’re comment on the last one/rip-off was off about Strabs and Cherries! 😉 Great to have you back, I’ve never tried Nero D’Alvo, but I look forward to it.

QOTD: My beautiful girlfriend who loves you so much (grr.) will be in Cape Town until June. I’ll be visiting her in March or early April and we’ll be doing a wine tour. Can you email me about places we should try? Thanks Gary!

Arthur

Keep “sniffy sniff”; retire “radool”.
QOTD: no definite plans, but Walla Walla and Napa or Sonoma look good. My friend Robin and I will be in NYC April 14 for operas on the 15th and 16th – I don’t think we’ll make it to New Jersey, but you could join us for dinner in NYC – Morrell’s on the 14th – pencil it in – 6:30 or so.

Welcome back Gary! I haven’t tried a Nero…so it looks like I’m off to get one tomorrow to try it out.

QOTD: I have three maybe four options for wine vacations:
1. Winemakers dinner in April at a Napa winery.
2. Outside of Toronto.
3. Paris (there has to be some good wines there…).
4. Does Scotland have any wineries?
