    Hey GV, I am way behind on watching episodes lately – I’ve got 14 more to go! Anyway, where have you been with this Pandora thing? I was hip to that about 2 years ago! 😉 QOTD: while Facebook and WLTV are my top two obsessions, a fun site I like to visit is The Sartorialist. It’s this blog of pictures of everyday people and their fashions. It’s pretty rad – it was one of Time Magazine’s top 100 design influencers: thesartorialist.blogspot.com

    Keep it real.

    AotD: Google Reader! I don’t surf the web “traditionally” anymore. I just leech the feeds from my favorite sites and take in the content from one centralized location.

    Pandora is friggin’ sweet too tho. I’m been rocking that web-app for quite a while now.

    QOTD: Well, other than WLTV, my newest internet obsession is quarterlife.com they cancelled the TV version after ONE showing, but i’m totally hooked! Maybe it’s cause i’ve been feeling deprived of all my normal TV shows and the characters are my age and I can relate to them, but I’m totally into it.

    Great show today Gary. Sorry you were disappointed.

    Not sure what happened with the Lynmar.

    92 points from Wine Enthusiast: “Really classic Russian River Chard, so elegantly structured and sleek, yet so flavorful. A wonderful structure of bright acidity and fine, toasty oak frames succulent flavors of pineapples, tangerines, green apples pears and minerals, leading to a long, richly spicy finish.” (10/1/2007)

    Where was the long finish?

  • QOTD – WLTV, duh! Heh, besides that, I’m a huge fan of forums. With any subject that holds my interest (polyglottery, instrument making, pipe smoking, and so on), I always find a good forum (or two) to get involved with that are based on the subject. Forums are the best and most efficient way to learn things using the internet, IMHO. I also frequent a few blogs as well.

  • Greetings from Germany. I am new to WLTV. Gary thank you for being a wine demystifier! The show is great, this for me is the internet show I am watching. I enjoy the way you debunk all the snootiness around the wine world and make it plain what it is all about.

    You sounded disappointed on todays show. So I would like to cheer you up in offering you what might be a new experience in wine!
    As an Englishman I noticed that on scanning your back catalogue I did not find a single English wine amongst all those you have tasted. Now as someone who loves the aromatics in white wines and prides himself on finding new wine experiences I think you really need to amend this! For example go and find a bottle of “Chapel Down” Bacchus 2004 a citrus and fresh-herb drenched white.
    or a sparkling wine
    1999 Nyetimber Blancs de blancs, premiere cuvee, West Sussex, England, it has an intensity of acidity that is typically English! It sours your palate till it gleams. But the wine is in perfect balance.

    Also as I live in Franken in Germany I can recommend heartily the local wines as worthy of an experiment. Some of the greatest white wines ever made were Franken wines. (Hugh Johnson) Try Sylvaner from Johann Ruck , Hans Wirsching or Horst Sauer.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Loved the energy today. The moves by Jets got ya going, huh? Running into the cold ocean is to your privates what big tannins are to your tongue… I’ll have to remember that. Not sure AJ appreciated the pants reference, though.
