Got the same problem…Japan is too far.

Haven’t had many Pinot Gris or Pinot Grigios so I’ll have to get out there and try a few.

Quality show!

Good analogies – great energy!

I agree with some of the other people leaving comments – it could be very interesting to see a “Cheese-show”. Not meaning to turn the show into a food-show, but just a way to widen the spectrum a little.
E.g.: perhaps choose a wine you know to be great with cheese, and then compare it to a wide range of cheeses. Cheeses of different variety, origin and based on different milks – cow, goat, sheep, elephant 🙂

By the way, I love the format of the battling wines. Keep it up.

I want some of what you had before the show……………. Because you certainly were on the top of your game!

From now on though; I will add the listen-listen to sniffy-sniff when trying wine. Because the wine is probably telling us something we have all missed, up to now.

Thanks for this new awakening Gary!

QotD #1: Yes my wife and I are absolutely coming.

QotD #2: My experience with PGs are limited, so I don’t really have a favorite.

Hey dude,

Met you at Strategic Profits event. Too bad we didn’t hook up for the quick interview. The other *million* people wanted a piece.

Dig the show man! Keep up the energy.

Looking forawrd to seeing you on Oprah soon.. Mr. Brand 🙂

Gary:
For us newbies to wltv. What happens at the Thunder Party and tell us about the after party.
Thanks!

QOTD#1: not planning on it right now, but you never know!!
QOTD#2: a favorite doesn’t really stick out, if I had a choice I would take the Pinot Grigio! And if they are the same grape why screw with the names!!!!

Nice and short today…like that!!

Keep it up GV!

Hopefully I can make it on the 29th, depends on how they’re feeling here in guantanamo.

QOTD #1: Yes! Coming down from New Hampshire.

QOTD #2: Not a fan of PG in general. It’s chick wine.

Great taste off! It’s been a while since you’ve done one like this. It’s a lot of fun. I can see myself liking the Pinot Grigio more.

QOTD#1 – I’ll be there on the 29th and will be dragging at least 1 (hopefully 3) other(s) with me. Looking forward to it.

QOTD#2 – I really need to try some PG because I haven’t had much and haven’t had any recently.

Thanks for the cheese tip Gary, I will look for it tonight. Speaking of cheese, ever try Old Amsterdam? – ROCKS. So does Red Dragon …

QOTD1: I wish I could come 🙁 Can’t fly to NJ too easily. I’m in CA.
QOTD2: 2006 Roxy Ann Pinot Gris Reserve (a Southern Oregon winery). Super yuuum.

Or-eh-gun. That’s how they say it. Obviously someone wrote in, right? Accent snobs!

Hello Everyone, My name is Robert and I am a Lurker. I have been a Lurker now for about 4 months.

The Lionel Kiddie City was the question that made me decide to leave a comment. As a kid growing up in Cleveland, I remember the theme song and the commercials of the kangeroo jumping on the frown and turning it into a smile.

QOTD 1, I won’t be there, since I live in Beijing now.
QOTD 2, I am not a huge PG fan, but on a recent trip to Napa, I tasted the swanson PG and liked it.

PS. Having trouble registering, is this because I am from China and an issue with IP address? Some sites like wikipedia and typepad have issues when people come from China.

QOTD1: I will not be at WL until near the end of the party but am on the list for dinner.

QOTD2: Have not found one that I think is worth the money, so there are none in my cellar. I buy them on occasion when friends are coming over and usually get advice from one of the WL folks on what’s good at that time.

Now here I thought I was the only one who compared white wine colors with pee. I’m not special anymore.

P.S. Although in CT, i will not be able to attend the WL Bash…I’ll be drinking my wine here…

Great episode, cheese looked amazing!
QOTD Try to be there kind of a long drive and really liked the A to Z pinot gris had some others from alsace that were phenom!

QOTD: 1. Sorry I can’t be there Friday.
2. I like the Chehalem Pinot Gris, but my current favorite is the original American pinot gris: Eyrie. The current vintage of it is very similar to how you described the Fantinel. It is way darker colored than the Chehalem, and fuller bodied. I last had it with a light, but rich and full flavored, crawfish dish, and it was a stunning match.

QOTD: As of now I plan on being there on the 29th.

I know exactly what you mean regarding fantasy baseball!

We know you like cheese, but “You prefer cheese to wine?” 😕
QOTD1 – No, I’d love to but it’s a bit too far for me to make it, busy time of year you know.
QOTD2 – I’m not a big PG taster, but I’ve had a couple of Alsace ones I really liked, don’t have the details to hand right now (since I’m in a hotel in the Gulf!).

Elk Cove Pinot Gris favor’d

QOTD1. I wish I could make it, but I can’t get away from work.

QOTD2. I’ve had a bunch of good ones, most recently Italian Pinot Grigio’s from Ermacora and from Marco Furlan (a.k.a. Castelcosa). Probably my all-time favorite was an Alsatian Pinot Gris: Lucien Albrecht 2005 “Cuvée Romanus.” Delicious. Had notes of ginger, green tea, and ginseng.
