Gary Please when you have a guest Please don`t interupt them!!!! Just watched the Jeffery Davies episode and was pissed the you keeped stepping on THE MASTER.

Loved the episode. Maybe I just like values, but I love to see “lesser vintages” show that they are in no way a PAZZZZZZZ.

QOTD: I really don’t have one. Maybe I can come back in a year or two with something.

Sure wish WL could ship to WA. So weak.

Pity about the US/AUS dollar compared to the Euro. I am trying to encourage friends and family to not always but the $10 – $20 dollar bottles of wine from the same winery you always get your goods from but to branch out and spend a little more and get into wines from outside your own country. Hence the problem the price point. Yes European wines can charge what they do and they will be bought but maybe they should be thinking about spreading the thunder and try to encourage people to buy there wine by making just a little more affordable.
Having been to Europe it is rare to find those who are trying to spread the thunder, If I was the ruler, king and or dominator of Europe I would tell them to stop being such an introvert! But I’m not so I’ll put up with the weak AUS dollar and pay a fortune for European wine….

Great ep GV. Thanks.

Happy Friday Gary and Mott!!! Great show today as always.

QOTD: Plane tickets to Italy.

I actually bought some 04 this past summer on my honeymoon in Paris without trying any but on a tip from the shopkeeper. Nice to see he wasn’t just trying to send the silly foreigner away with unmovable swill:)

QOTD: Best gut purchase was our first condo. When we sold we more than doubled up and were able to have a great wedding and honeymoon in Italy and Paris.

Hey Gary
Spot on!
And laurie in VT. Yes there are lurkers in VT!

Wow, maybe I should go grab some of these quick! Thanks for the tip.

Gary,

Here is what I called…

Andrew W.K. and his album “I Get Wet.”

WHEN IT’S TIME TO PARTY, WE WILL PARTY HARD!!!

Everyone loves to guy!

Wow. Great episode GV. Thanks for the the great info on the 04’s.

One question, I had – a couple of times you’ve mentioned the 03’s won’t hold up over time. Is it safe to assume that even if they don’t have the backbone of the 04’s the 03’s still will be strong in say the next 4-5 yrs? Or should we be drinking the 03’s before the end of the week?

QOTD: Bought an oceanfront, 6wks/yr for 29 years, timeshare on Kauai in 1985 for $7500.00. I’ll do the math for you. It’s less than $7.00/day for a room no more than 150 ft from the ocean.

I play the game every episode 😉 I think my favorite buy on a whim was a bottle of prosecco!

GVs in top form. 04s in the hizzy.

The 2004 Leroy Vosne Romanee
Lots of burghounds dissed the 04 but this is outstanding. Expensive but you are not going to get a Leroy for this price any time soon. The Grand Crus and the Premier crus were declassified and became the Vosne Romanee.

Like the 05 vs 04 Bordeaux some of the best 04 Burgundies are actually great.

QOTD: My best impulse purchase that paid off in spades was my Mercedes SLK

Play the game? Is that anything like Ya gotta be in it to win it?
Good episode. Nice balance between fun and irreverence and information. Wel balanced like an 04 Bdx.

Good episode GV â?? I liked the elementary sloppy Joeâ??s comment and I pictured Mott going to MLK in Edison sitting with the kids eating Sloppy Joeâ??s and tasty cakes ( thatâ??s what we used to eat as desserts in Lehigh Valley PA where I grew up )

NO â?? we love Mott and donâ??t want you trashing on him…he has to put up with you and I would bet that’s hard enough

Iâ??m feeling bad for those episodes I watched and lurked after this whole 1000 now GV !!

GV, Thanks for the episode, as I mentioned the other day, Bordeaux scares the hell out of me. I am less scared now after watching the show. Maybe I will try sneaking up on one.
QOTD: I am going to go a slightly different direction than most. Not quite impulsive but definetely a gut feeling, my greatest investment was in my wife of 27 years now. Because of her we have raised two awesome daughters (even if one is a Democrat) and now have four adorable grandaughters. They rock my world. Family and wine. Does it get any better?

Another great episode. After finishing a ’04 Ch. Valrose Cuvee Alienor (which was as good if not better than your comments back in Dec), I thought it would be nice for my wife to watch this episode with me, since you were discussing/tasting more 04’s. By the time we were finished watching tonight’s show, she had me order the Haut Brisson which I was only too eager to do. You never know when the market will price most of us out of the Bordeaux market altogether, so we have to take advantage of the relatively fair prices today. I have not seen vany places that can compete with WL’s prices!

QOTD: When I bought an ’05 Vette a few years ago. Something that I wanted ever since I got married (35 years ago), against my wife’s request. Now she loves it as much as I do. The only problem is, in the summer time, it is either driving the car or wine, not both.

I love hearing about bordeaux, and I love hearing about value. You are my friend. I will keep my palate on watch.
QOTD: recent purchase of a new family home. that i can build a wine cellar in. hah.
