    Blame Canada!! The Weir Estate wines comes from Creekside Estate, a really cool bunch in the Niagara region. 06 was not a great year for Niagara, try the 05 Laura’s Blend or 05 Broken Press Shiraz from Creekside. Better yet c’mon up and see these guys!!

    Answer to QOTD: right now-definitely wltv. I discovered the show a couple weeks ago, it really fills a gap in my wine-life. It’s the only place I have for wine feed-back and discourse and wine-imagination; Gary–your enthusiasm is definitely a huge boost to myself and my colleagues. so you got that going for you. which is nice.

    E-Bay, Amazon and WLTV.

    I had to give the screen a double-take at about 19:13 into the episode as the D’Arenberg bottle started moving by itself; was it the Ghost of WLTV or Mott using his newly found telekenetic powers?

    Gary et al,

    If you love Pandora, you’ll love The Hype Machine (www.hypem.com), http://www.Last.fm, and hopefully RCRDLBL.com. Also free streaming radio with huge ability to customize your own channels or choose the songs you want. Even free downloads sometimes. If you need Internet radio like I do, you need to check them out.

    Also look at the Forkcast on http://www.pitchforkmedia.com, if you like indie rock and some weird stuff.

  • Working all day. I’m watching these so late because I have been on the road for 3 weeks. WLTV doesn’t won’t play well on hotel WIFI. I’m still a big fan of WLTV so keep it up. I wish I could keep up on drinking as many wines as you. I’m giving it my best.

  • my internet obsession is pretty much developing my own stuff. just got finished with writing my own blog from scratch. there are some very interesting technologies emerging that should change the face of the Internet… including the wine world.

    MiroTV is a really awesome program, I guess that would be my obsession. Its basically a TV guide for IPTV. You can select from *alot* of different shows and have them downloaded automatically to the miro client where you can watch them. Very cool program. And, its cross platform.

    Pandora never really gives me stuff i’m all that interested in. I’ll plug in one artist then it’ll give me another that i couldn’t possibly care less about hearing. I’ve been really jamming some SomaFM stations lately, good chill stuff.

    I’m glad I/we only carry one of those four wines. I’ll have to do more research on the D’arenberg. None of it moves.

    I guess you could say that eBaying vintage patterns and fabric is my current internet addiction. That and watching your back episodes. I have so much catch-up to do.

    Thank you for giving me another review on wine!

    So glad you did the smelling the empty glass thing – my wife thinks I’m nuts. I totally agree that the bouquet in the empty glass is heigtened because of all the extra surface area. Works great on sniffy sniffing Scotch too! 🙂

    qotd: Last.fm is pretty cool, very similar to pandora, but it knows what your listening to on your ipod and can give you recommendations. If your friends are on last.fm they can recommend songs and artists to you as well. Nice web app.
