    Hey Gary, most of us spend the vast majority of our “quality” time with wine on 86-90 point wines… so don’t be so dissappointed with them. 90+ is a bonus for most of us… especially if it can be had for $30 or less.

    I agree that we should all quit buying the same wines over and over again. I hate talking to people that say they “love wine” and ask them what they’ve been drinking and they say “I always get ______”. The only way to make the LCB (in PA) stock different stuff is to drink it!

    Qotd: WLTV – past episodes.

    Weird episode and today we had to have my wifes cat put down – 13 yrs old – it was sad. Weird day all around – hoped WLTV would be a little more up beat to end the funk – but I guess when it rains it pours.

    QOTD: I can’t miss your show! WLTV is my obsession! I feel lost without it and anticipate the upcoming episode all day long.

    Another obsession for me though is Woot!, and all of its sub-sites, great stuff.

  • Jessica

    QOTD: WLTV (duh) and theonion.com.

    I tried to buy that 4-pack, but you sold out within a day! I didn’t even have a chance! Next time….next time….

  • If you get to McLaren Vale, d’Arenberg has a fantastic restaurant. Eat out on the terrace if you can and look out over a beautiful part of South Australia. And it’s fun trying all of their wines with food.

    Niagara wine? I keep trying them and can’t find anything I really like. Seems like the Rieslings should rock.

    QOTD – WLTV of course. Also, can’t live without cellartracker.com, popurls.com, and seatguru.com

    Great wines do not make a great show; it’s your insights that make a great show.
