I’m glad you did this one, I have never really focused on just merlot …but I love it blended especially from St. Emilion. I always seem to lean toward this area (right bank) of Bordeaux.

QOTD: It is a future I purchased from wine library…A few weeks before WS top 100 was released I bought my largest format bottle anticipating it would land in the top ten and be a great collector… 3L 2005 Clos Des Papes CDP

My best $$$$ maker yet. I bought an antique vesta match safe at a yard sale for $1…….. Sold it on ebay for $300.

Great show… However way to speculative for an old bastard like me.

Basically drinking what I’m buying……. although I have a small stockpile of $20-$40 wines. Mostly from Italy….. although because of you; Portuguese wines are #2 in my stash now.

Ciao

Great episode..I have bought 4 cases of 2004 bordeaux so this is good news!
QOTD – Gotta be my 1986 VW Jetta I bought in University……best $600 I ever spent!

QOTD: The secret 4 packs, definitely!! Nothing excites me more… Maybe I am exaggerating, but it is exciting.

Nice show, good info as always, will look for 2004 Bordeaux in my neck-o-the-woods. I sort of feel like I’m too much of a newbie to approach Bordeaux and Burgundy yet. Or maybe that’s silly!
QOTD: Well, I’ve gotten some really good deals on things on Ebay. And some not so good deals. All in all people are overwhelmingly honest though.

Great episode, Gary! I’m really only getting in to Bordeauxs. I have a few ’04’s (and I just ordered a Brisson from the anniversary deal), and I have a few ’05 futures.

I thought today’s episode was very informative! Thanks!

Loved the show – making me happy that if I can find ’04’s that I should check ’em out and not be all 05, 05, 05 in my Bordeaux hunt.

QOTD: Gut feeling purchase – don’t really have a tip top one, closest would be taking a job across the other side of the country – best call in my life, over here I met the lady who in three weeks will be my wife 😀 😀 :D.

Hey GV. Thanks for the episode. Good info.

I liked the ‘intense Friday’. I liked having ‘sniffy-sniff’ back.
Whaddya mean, it’s because of Mott you didn’t get to 1000 yesterday?! Harrumph! So when is Mott’s birthday, BTW?
Also, if there are any lurkers out there in VT, get on the Third Thirsty Thursday forum, because a couple of us that haven’t been frozen into the ice in our driveways have found each other (sweet!) and we’re getting a group together.

QOTD: The 5 acres of field & woods that we walked onto in 1993, looked at each other and said, ‘This is it, we’re home’.

Guess I’d better run out and grab some 04 Bordeaux before it’s gone, thanks for the heads up GV!

QOTD: Gut feel on things that really worked out? –

a bottle of Dom Perignon 85 from a French supermarket
…I was a student and living on a grant
1cs Cos D’estournel 2005 double mags (en primeur)
… actually still waiting!
2cs Les Carruades de Ch Lafite 2005 (en primeur)
…100% price increase and I havn’t even seen them yet!
2cs 2004 Vieux Chateau Certan.

Tuning in to WLTV!

installing a cellar under my house…

Gary,
Happy you are back to your old self- energy level UP! Love it! Will seek out the 04′ Bordeaux, for sure…had a question….how long to you let the wines breathe before you taste them on the show and could you address that? Is there a certain time period best for reds and whites to breathe before consuming? Does it really matter with young wines? What about decanting? Would love to know about this stuff! Stay warm this weekend!

Great show ….

WOOT! Love to see you back on your game and bringing the Thunder. Loved the show. Learning more about Bordeaux thanks to WLTV’s Christmas pack and took advantage of the free shipping deal to try out more Bordeauxs.

QOTD: I have to say that the Christmas pack was money well spent :).

Welcome back Gary!!!! QOTD- My life is so regular that I don’t even have an answer.

Great episode GV, heeeeellllls yesssss 2004, bought a bunch of Grand Puy Lacoste 2004’s and they are rocking bro!!! Gonna cellar a hand full and see what happens, and drink some along the way see how they evolve. Well done, cheers!

Nice episode gary, you are on fire! As for people not liking Mott, thats craziness!

QOTD: My purchase on a whim that cost nothing yet i’m enjoying a lot is 2 canvas bags I use when I grocery shop. Makes me feel good, and I don’t have to throw away those stupid plastic bags.

2nd place: My plasma tv 😉

Great episode Gary. I’m excited about the 2004’s now. Can’t wait to pick some up.

QOTD: The gut purchase that I made was in 1983 when I bought a Topps 1955 Ted Williams card for $14.00. Way too much money for a 14 year old to spend on a baseball card.

Great show on Bordeauxs, which we love and will be looking for 2004’s. Thanks.

QOTD: Hmmmm…my fist Mac on Ebay that included Photoshop…really a good deal.

BTW, glad your back to your enthusiastic self. You know we like YOU, WLTV and Mott…right?

Great Show! But, I must say that sharing your experience as child of immigrant parents, and knowing that we NEVER wasted anything, I don’t really think that you drink the spit bucket. Really?

QOTD: quitting my old job. Not that it was a “true purchase,” in the monetary sense but it was truly a priceless return to sanity 🙂

Gary’ Iam totally convinced again after watching This video

Great Show!!!

I’m glad I bought a bunch of ’04 Bordeaux.

QOTD: My best gut feeling/purchase was a vintage Fender Blues Deluxe. I found it at a little guitar shop for $100 in near mint condition. Its worth atleast 7 or 8 times that now and still sounds gorgeous.

Bordeaux just knows how to make juice.
