The “Battle Royal” concept seems like a good one but maybe you ought to make it a 3 or 4 way “Free For All”. There are plenty of very good wines out there that would make a good “Free For All” card.

QOTD: My biggest disappointment was when I spent 3 weeks in Italy and bought a case of various recommended wines, got home just in time to move and when I opened the wines every one of them had been heat damaged from the move. Bummer!

Hee hee, I actually thought that was a pretty fun episode! Mix it up, huh? Thanks for taping ahead for us GV!

Loved the head to head match up and I was truly hoping the chards would get me to buy one. But hey better to know before the 102 bone waste. I am pretty stuck on red’s although I started the new year off with a fantastic french sancerre.

looking forward to the next battle royal

aloha,

QOTD: Just recently? The Simpsons movie. Everyone said it was great, I thought it was not funny at all. I guess the expectations were set too high before I saw it.

QOTD: see Dallas…..the playoffs since 1996…..

Gary: Thanks for being honest. That’s why I continue to watch the Thunder Show and spread the Thunder (even though I didn’t win anything last week!).

Woah….what a downer!
QOTD – On man……tough question……no clue!

Had a Full Boat Cab 2005 over the weekend. I bought it from WL, and what was most disappointing is that of all the wines I’ve bought from WL, this is the first time that I was seriously disappointed. It’s like drinking Hi-C. I feel that I’m setting the education of my palate back several years just drinking this swill. It’s not that it came highly recommended or anything. In fact, I can’t remember why I bought it a year ago. On the up-side, though, it is the first big disappointment from WL, which is remarkable I think.

QotD: The last time I was obnoxiously disappointed was this past weekend. Among some of my Oscar picks not winning, I also got some stressful and silly news about a place that I’d like to move to soon.

Great stuff Gary! QOTD: The last pair of top of the line work boots I bought, they’re falling apart.

Man that was funny, goes to show, price most of the time means nothing.

QOTD: The last time when I was obnoxiously down was back at Super Bowl 39. Eagles vs Patriots and seeing my team lose to Bradys gayness. Waaaaaaah

QOTD. I suppose the last time I was “bitterly” disappointed was when I didn’t get into Stanford when I graduated from high school. Since that was over 25 years ago, that’s not a bad run, and life has worked out pretty well. Go Cal!

Good show though the wines were not stellar but that’s ok, it was informative. Now, if you had pitted the Meursault against a Devil’s Lair Chard then it would have been a beat down. DL is one of my fav Chards.

QOTD: This is easy. My boys losing to Norv Turner and those bum Chargers with that garbage QB and LT on the bench! Pulllleeeeeeezzzzzzzze!

P.S. Can we have a “Groovy Gruner” show in the 10-15, 15-20, and 20-30 bones range? I really like those wines.

Make sure to keep it in Vegas 🙂

2006 buffalo sabres.. almost making the stanley cup finals (would have won it) with 1/2 there minor league players playing because of injuries…

but NOTHING and i mean NOTHING beats out NO GOAL !!! die and burn brett hull!!!
ahem.. im ok now.. really i am … (grumble)

I have to echo Sassodoro, the flabby and acidic comment does not make sense to me.

Great episode…just how I like them: short, brutally honest and not a word mentioned about the NY Jets!

QOTD: The last time I was disappointed (though not “bitterly” so) was when I recently learned that GV won’t be at the Wine Library for my first visit. It’s happening tomorrow, and I’m coming from Japan…a bit of a haul. Oh well, I imagine I won’t be disappointed with the shop – I’ve been told it’s great.

QOTD: Definitely in January when exam grades came out.

QOTD: The list is long and distinquished on expensive wines that not only didn’t bring the thunder but were barely mouse farts. Merryvale Napa Cab has to be toward the top of that list for sure. I was so disappointed that I vowed to never purchase a wine of theirs unless someone from the winery came to explain why their last 3 vintages were so lackluster. There has been some Cali Pinots on the list but I’ll stick to the latest one that I was bummed about.

$102 disappointment……..

Your to young to remember a similar named game show!

Hey Gary-
To be honest… I was REALLY disappointed in Turnbull’s 2005 Old Bull Red. Now I love Turnbull Cabs and is one of the only wines I make sure I get every vintage, so there was a lot of hype with the Old Bull Red, but it was just not good…even at $20.
