BTW – was that the shortest WLTV episode ever? Freaking dissapointed!

GV, this is karma for throwing down so much bling lately on the Thunder Show!

QOTD: Two words: Barefoot. Shiraz.

Last Saturday. Drove three hours one way to an auction where the items, I was interested in, sold for more than they cost new.

Still a great show G ,, Old World vs New World … As you know not all high rated expensive wine is good or even average.
QOTD—- When you watch or listen to hype then the event totally sucks …aka a sporting event or a special meal…

Looking forward to the next show down

QOTD: Hmm…last time I was really disappointed…

How about when you said you were quitting the show 😉

Thanks for keep’n it real Gary. So, taping this week’s shows all in one night? …By “Friday”, you may be like Harry Caray trying to pronounce names backwards when the game goes into extra innings. Can you imagine him trying to pronounce Kosuke Fukudome?

QOTD – In the “wine-world” it would be receiving a 1/2 case of 2001 Cantemerle bordeaux only to have the first bottle opened to be corked. The second bottle was a nice recovery however.

QOTD: i remember bein’ a tad FRAAAAZZLED 🙁 when me Cleveland
Brownies choked twice to da Denver Broncos & John Elway in da
AFC Playoffs back in da 80s………Wheeeeeheeeeeheeeeeaa 🙂

QOTD: A few weeks ago, I went to a Pitt hoops game only to watch them get WAXED by Rutgers…RUTGERS!!! As well as they played against Georgetown just days before, that’s how absolutely–and disappointly–HORRIBLE they played against Rutgers. Unfortunately, it appears that game was a sign of things to come for Pitt….

Uh…make that “disappointingly.”

The palate bone’s connected to the tongue bone……and cannot tell a lie.
Tough tasting….great show. Keep the thunder rolling.

Great show Gary. Thanks. Man, I would be hard pressed to spend that kind of money on what turns out to be average, at best, wines. Geez. Have you tried this one? 05 Step Road “Black Wing” Chardonnay. I picked up for $6 a bottle and have enjoyed quite a bit. Maybe not on the same level as these two you tasted, but what the heck. I can buy 6 of these instead. Later Gman.

love the idea of the match up…I am sure you will get some good ones! I sure hope Lizzy gets to travel with you considering you are always going somewhere 🙂
QOTD: a wine class I have paid $1,200 bones for!

Maybe try them both at the same time? Pour a little of both into the same glass and see what happens…

QOTD: Disapointed when you taped a show in a bad mood. You were not bringing the thunder to the thunder show. I’m glad your back.

Gary, I know you want to be the king on France, but…I’m tired of all of these Bordeaux reviews and other sky high priced french wines. Their prices don’t fit with their quality. Changing the wine world? How, if you are reviewing what everyone else is talking about? Do what you do best! Seek out the hidden wines.

Jessie’s Grove Vintners Reserve. Tasted like it was made with concentrate (common).

Those last few comments almost made me burst out laughing… in the law school library! I would have been held in contempt for sure…

QOTD: I haven’t been obnoxiously disappointed in a wine, but once, my friend told me she was really into wine (and I was so excited!), and we each brought one of our favorites to a party. She brought an Australian Zin and I brought a Portuguese wine I’d recently discovered…I hated hers, and she didn’t really like mine. Her Zin was like drinking cherry/grape Kool-Aid with vinegar, and I guess my Portuguese wasn’t sugar-y enough for her!

My most obnoxious disappointment was getting nothing but clothing for Christmas when I was 12. It was the moment I realized that childhood was over (no more toys! Waaah!)

QOTD: Patriots in the Super Bowl. Depressing.

QOTD: January 20th NFC Championship game, GBP lose to the Giants.

Easy Answer to QOTD……….I got Dookered!!!! Got all excited about all the Mollydooker stuff and huge scores from Spectator and Parker…and after trying The Boxer and Carnival Of Love …I washed my car with the remainder of the bottles. Sorry Sarah And Sparky…Your Wines Are WAY DISJOINTED and over Alcholed…and Temporarily Singed the Lining of My Esophagus!! 16% alcholo more like 19% tastes like Nyquil with Vicks Vapo Rub being applied to your Chest Cavity!!

Make it through the next round. Is it time for a wine bracket challenge on the thunder show. Sweet sixteen cali wine challange.

I couldn’t graduate form college on time 🙁

Wrestling with Mott, sorry Chris, the idea is well and truly out there now, DO IT!!!

Shame the wine sucked, but hey, sometimes that’s the way the dice roll, and you had some decent St. Aubin recently so Chardonnay’s not all bad.

QOTD – Biggest disappointment – the day to day workings of our 16yr old, whose experiments in drinking, smoking and stealing loose cash of his parents never fail to frustrate.
