Gary-What a face!!!!!! Do NOT ever take acting lessons!!! Oh, Boy!!!! 🙂

my biggest change? hmm.. got paid a bonus and discovering that there are shitloads of other grape varieties. Like all the ones from Italy.

LOL What a great way to end the week. Thank goodness I wasn’t one of the Vayniacs to recommend the Falesco. A few years ago they had an inexpensive wine that I thought was quite serviceable. Not great but it was ok.

QOTD: I would have to say having three stellar cabs (Dominus, Chat Montelena, Bryant Family) during a holiday party with some good wine friends on Capitol Hill in DC. Other than that, that fun and freaky WLTV show is the highlight of my wine world.

I’ll make the “love connections” this weekend.

YOU RULE!

Biggest change is I tried an albarino because of you and liked it.
Thanks!!!

QOTD: Finding WLTV!

QOTD: Loire Valley!!! Thanks for the intro, GV! It has to be one of the most diverse wine regions in the world.

Looking forward to #400.
QOTD: I trusted my palette enough to jump on 5 bottles of 2005 Prisoner when I usually wouldn’t have spent that much (grad school life). I love this stuff.

Go Pats!

QOTD: Going back to grad school and going cash flow negative for two years. Sad irony is now have ability to store wine for the first time. Trying to figure out how to finally start building a collection without spending much $$$. Hitting the low-end stuff from the Garagiste list, but interested if anyone has any ideas of value picks to have around or lay down…

I’m in love with Rhone, red, white, and rose! I love’m all!

Gary-QOTD: BIGGEST CHANGE:My local wine shop now carries a wine by the glass because I said it goes well with BBQ!!! Get the Ramon Bilbao Rioja !!! 🙂 🙂

GV- What’s your # so I can call ya and give you a love shout out? 🙂

QOTD: Similar to you, I have noticed a change in my palate in the past 6 mo. However, I am finding my palate loving old world wines rather than the fruit bombs. Zin used to be my favorite varietal, I liked the in your face, Captain Obvious wines. Now I like as you call them the “thought provoking” wines and wines that offer more complexity (second and third tear aromas and flavors). I am finding these characteristics more in old world vs. new world wines. Also I am in love with the values from S. France and S. Italy.

Superbowl Prediction: Steelers 24, Colts 17. Oh wait that was 2 years ago when I was living in Pgh. Damn, guess I’ll hop on Mott’s bandwagon and pull for the Giants.

Cheers All,

Ok. Came back from a short trip to Argentina last October,which was my first exposure to Argentine wines, (which I fell in love with). Was surfing around to find out more about the wines……and lo, I stumbled on WLTV. Since that time, it has become a regular part of our evening. What has changed? I now will spring for a $15.00 or $20.00 bottle of wine when shopping. Completely unheard of pre GV. Yep, unheard of.

Giants 24 Pats 21 we’ll see GV!

Great Show!!!!

QOTD: Biggest change in my wine experience over last 6 months has been the heavy addition of white rhones to my palate. Prior to that, I stuck to a few sauvignon blancs from Napa and New Zealand and a select number of chardonays but that was bout it in the white varietals for me. I have also been trying a few more wines from Pomerol when I usually go with those from St. Emillion and Paulliac.

BTW, There needs to be a Mott, Link It Up shirt in black. Id jump all over that.

QOTD: I think the biggest change in my wine world over the last 6 months has been learning that I actually don’t dislike white wines as I previously had thought.

Hey Gary, Love the show. The biggest change for me is that I’m actually enjoying drinking wine now. It used to be my wife would come home from work and not open a bottle, thinking what she didn’t drink would go to waste. Now, I have a bottle already open when she comes home and she’s lucky if she gets even half.

QOTD: Malbec consumption.

QOTD: Purchasing more wine from WL than I can drink in in 3 years if I have a bottle every day. This has to STOP. Well maybe not.
Go Pats !!
