Great episode, nice suprise on a Saturday.

QOTD: ’03 Columbia Crest Two Vines Merlot, pretty tasty.

I hope we’re getting a http://www.garyeatscatfood.com
I need chicken, I need liver, MeowMix, MeowMix, GV deliver!

QOTD: I honestly can’t remember the last $5 wine I had. I did try the Panarroz Jumilla for $7. It was burning electronics for days! It was interesting and I’m glad I tried it, but probably won’t buy it again.

Thanks for the Saturday Thunder GVNC. Improved my rainy cold day here in Seattle.

QOTD: Man, it’s been over a decade or more since I’ve had any $5

QOTD: Oh yeah and practically any wine that I had while I was abroad in France. I think the most I ever spent on a bottle was 8 euros (and this was before the dollar became really weak).

Laid back Saturday, just thought I’d check and there you were…The perfect NCAA half time show!
QOTD: I am not sure if I have had a wine under $5 but Close to it. The best one that sticks out in my mind is Lindemans Bin 50 Shiraz, whats crazy about the $5 range is you can’t find a glass of wine under $5 anymore at a restaurant.

NO WAY DUDE! You gotta show us that you tasted the cat food, you ain’t gettin off that easy 🙂

I have a great idea for a question of the day though, ask the viewers what THEIR cat’s food tastes like

You were doing a photo shot today weren’t you?….starting the WL magazine I bet. I hope you really didn’t eat the cat food oh and lay off my Cowboys!! My QB’s girlfriend is prettyier than your QB’s girlfriend.

I just got some 2005 Arrogant Frog (cab sauvignon/merlot blend) from South France. It was at least near $5 from world market. it’s halfway decent, and I bought it mostly for the label. It’s been hard to find anything good under $10 let alone $5

QOTD: I’ve had plenty of $7 wines, but only one sub $5. It was a Bandito(?) cabernet sauvignon tetra pack.

QOTD: Never had a wine under $5 that tasted good

NOOOOO!!!! You gotta try the cat food Gary! If you can eat dirt with cherries and tobacco… you can take the cat food!

I don’t remember tasting any good wine under $5…guess I’ll have to try the Bonarda! Plenty of good cat food for under 5 though 😉

Awesome show; I’ve actually had bonarda at a tasting before … I forgot about it … and how tasty + value-driven it is; now, I just need to find a shop that carries some!

I was so afraid Big Bear was going to drop the big-ass glass, but he’s totally sober, so I guess he’s got a good hold on it.

I definitely have to agree with those who want to actually see you eating the cat food … After dirt, rocks, cigars, … what’s a little cat food :~P?

QoTD: Wow, the only

P.S. This is a totally random request, but … When can we look forward to Lizzie joining you on WLTV!?

Great Show!!

QOTD: I don’t remember ever having a 5.00 wine. That is about to change though.

Also, my cat came in and saw you. He said that Deli Cat is the cat’s….well, you know.

Woah GV, i like my WLTV thunder but i dont want you miss out on your weekend now. it was an awsome suprise though, great episode. yeah and cat food… man that stuff has a stench i could probly never try it, well maybe the dry kind. glad to see you in your element and in full force, that british chick was cool though, it was a good episode too, peeps like it when you mix it up. enjoy the games tomarrow

QOTD: i guess the Bandit Pinot Gris, found it on sale somewhere, but its a tetra pack not a bottle. btw the bandit is way better the first day you open it. i left it in the fridge and retasted it the next day, it seemed to get a bit acidic, still good and very drinkable though.

Under five, I haven’t tried.

you big baby you should have eaten it :-). Good to have you back Gary

QOTD: I guess Welsh’s sparkling grape doesn’t count?

Good show, GV! I like this Saturday thing, I know that won’t be a habit though, wouldn’t blame you.

QOTD: Haven’t tried anything under $5. Will go out today and pick up a bottle and try it out. I did try 3 $8 reds last week with no luck (Mano a Mano, Red Guitar, ?????). All of them had a strong alcohol flavor and were very acidic.

I’ll report back on the $5 wines…

QOTD: I think it may have been a wine called Pigs In The Sky Shiraz. . .but I do’t think it was under 5bones, maybe a few bucks more. It was, as you would say, one dimensional sugarfied drink. Not bad, and probably buy it again if on a budget.

So, how was the cat food?

GG, GV.

The best wine I’ve had under $5 was the 2001 Talomas Cab/Merlot blend.
Picked up 2 cases for $3.99 a bottle, and it was a great ‘cellar defender’, in fact I still have one left.

The ending was quite a tease.

QotD: I don’t think I have had a bottle of wine that was under five bones. That is because I live in Canada.

I can’t find “good” under $5 here in CA.

I did have an ’01 Arcadian Garys’ for nuthin.

Does that count?

..so being a T.J.’S guy I have the opportunity to try many $5 and under wines. The secret to shopping there is finding a store with a real wine geek. With so many stores cost to coast now, I don’t have to sell you anything. There are enough stores (300-ish) to absorb the garbage wines. (And there is a considerable amount out there) If something is crap I will tell you flat out.
Yada yada yada.. Chalk Creek Petite Syrah 2003 $4.99. Drinks at about the $10 price point. Epicuro Salice Salentino $4.99 can’t keep it on the shelf.
