WLTV Saturday

What a great suprise

Thanks Gary

QOTD: Best under $5 bottle was the Columbia Crest 2 Vines 2001 Cabernet/Merlot blend, and I don’t even like merlot

Did you guys use a different camera? Do quality wasn’t where it usually is.

Super terrific Saturday show! 9 Lives isn’t the cat food of choice bro, that stuff is nasty! QOTD: Bare Foot Merlot for 3.99 kinda HiCish, wasn’t great.

thx for the saturday ep. I was thinking from your reaction that the bonardo would be better than the $5 Portuguese you rated an “Al Toon” (88) a few months ago.. should be fun to try though.

kickin’ it saturday style. better than SNL. more later

Gary,

Who is snapping pictures behind the camera???

$5 wine……hummmmm. I wonder.

OK, I’ll try it.

Oh yeah… I don’t think Joanne was reffering to eating cat food. I think she was just saying how it smelt like cat food.

Didn’t think you were actually going to eat that. I can’t imagine how cats even eat it… 🙁

I’ll be in to pick up my order today. Hope to see you.

He didn’t do it, no way! That stuff will kill you. -Smells like a $65.00 bottle of champagne -LOL!

Great show!

I was waiting for the cat food, bonarda pairing, but alas, it didn’t happen.

QOTD: Can’t say that I’ve ever had a memorable wine that was 5 bucks or less, but when I was in Paris I had a great bottle of Faugeres (Unfortunately, I don’t remember the exact grower/vintner) that was about 6 euros which I guess is closer to 8 or 9 USD.

QOTD; does a half count? albert bichot, ” bourgogne vielle vignes’ 2005 is about $7.00 and it is tasty. in france, you can get some 5 euro bottles that really do the job. they are not fireworks in the mouth, but they are correct for sure.
have a good weekend…. GO HILLARY!

GV YOU HAD ME GOING THERE WITH THE CAT FOOD. KEEP BRINGING THOSE VALUE WINES. THE MARKET IS KILLING ME.

Thank you, Mr. GV for taking the time to do this weekend show.

Nice to see something else out of Argentina, besides Malbec…
I have had Bornada before, but only from northern Italy.

Perhaps it could be interesting to do a show about: the same grape – in different areas, to see how different they really are, and to see which affect the different terroirs and climates have on the grape-variety. e.g. Pinot Noir in Burgundy vs. Pinot Noir in for example Mendoza, or sauvignon blanc in Marlboroug vs. sauvignon blanc in Alsace.

QOTD: 5 dollars translates to about 25-30 kroner here in Denmark, which you can get a lot of different wine for! And it is strange to me that several of the people leaving comments, believe it to be such a difficult task to find good wine at 5 dollars, is the wine in the USA SO expensive?
For me I think it would be the: Quara Chardonnay/Torrentes, from Valle de Cafayate in Argentina – 30 kr.

Thanks for wine info bits- I like that mixed in with the craziness 🙂

Gary,

I have not yet found a wine under 5 bones that was drinkable. The few that I tried were horrid and I poured them into the campfire.

Pity, bonarda runs about $7 out here in the stix. Close, though.

QOD: a 3-buck bottle of Bulgarian cabernet I had with Indian food. Yeah, it was around 15 years ago, but still.

What’s up with all the picture taking goin on during the episode GV?

P.S. The saying is “not the SHARPEST tool in the shed”

Thanks for the Saturday episode Gary!! My cats love 9 Lives and I know what it smells like, and when you took a big whiff of it with your nose 1 inch away, I know how bad you wanted to throw up.

QOTD: I am not a wine snob or anything like that, but I honestly don’t think I have ever had a sub-$5 wine. But I will be seeking this wine out, never heard of it but very willing to try. Thanks Gary.

I almost forgot to ask, what was with all of the pictures snapping off? I am curious.

Thank you for not tasting the cat food and, therefore, the prerequisite ralphing that would necessarily, immediately follow 🙂

QOTD:Alexander Valley Vineyards New Gewurtz that I got on sale. Super!

What’s all the clicking sound at the back throughout today show? Someone was taking pictures at the back or something? And I hope Gary didn’t eat that cat food…

QOTD: Haven’t been drinking wine too long, so haven’t really try any wine under $5. Unless if you count white zin that I had…

Oooh, WLTV Weekend Edition!

QOTD – Found some 2000 Covey Run Barrel Select (they don’t make that type anymore) for $4.99. Ended up purchasing a case and a half. Had my last bottle about six months ago. Tasting note below.

Proving that inexpensive wine can be very good and develop complexities over time. Nose started out with mint and caramel. Good deep fruit on the palate with only a slightly heavy handed bit of oak. Stayed fresh and lively over a two hour period. Wish that I would have picked up more of this originally. Would purchase again.

Maybe you should have asked Joanne whether she meant dry cat food or canned cat food. They are very different smelling and, if would guess, tasting–although I’ve never indulged in either of them.

QOTD: Man, I can’t find any wine for under $5! $6 or $7 is about at cheap as it gets around here. About a hundred years ago I used to drink Gallo Hearty Burgundy and think it was pretty good until someone gave me a glass of Lafitte Rothschild . . .
