QOTD: I enjoy wine most with my friends after a long week. I’m in grad school so that’s pretty much every week. Actually my Bulgarian officemate introduced us to their Wine Day which is our Val Day (2/14) and a much better holiday as far as I’m concerned.
I’m a new watcher (for the last week or so) and am hooked. One of my big goals is to learn more about wine and I was lucky enough to find the show through the HackCollege guys. Keep up the good work and I really admire your commitment to the community and to honestly reviewing the wines.
My question is, now that you’ve just got through a week in Austin (my fav city) are we going to see a show on Texas wines? I know there is at least a few stores in Austin that have TX wine sections.

Where I live, which is in a major cannibis cultivation region, “schwag” means trim or low grade weed, or is used generally in the sense that you might use the term “dregs” generally. It throws me off every time you say “schwag”.
Anyway, we are drinking a chilean pinot noir “santa rita reserva” santa rita being the name of the winery, which is a cheap p.n. without being schwag.
Gary the very very few times you mention canada wines, it’s from ontario which is mostly schwag. Don’t you think that you could at least suggest that BC’s Okanagan and Similkameen valleys exist as producers? Even a pan would be better than ignoring them completely, but i think you could find some good stuff…maybe not as good a value now with low US$ but at least worth a show.
Also a sparkling reds show would be awesome…can’t be too a gimmicky for you after doing sparkling vodka…
and a blanc de noir show…
and a mead show…
and east europe…bulgaria show, greece show …um…

Im only nineteen so i have not really been exposed enough to pick a favorite at this time. I have only had wine on a selective few occasions but the one that is most memorable is Champagne on new years eve. I had it with my girlfriend of three years and her parents. It was very memorable and enjoyable. I cannot wait until i am able to enjoy wine tasting on a much grander scale and i believe that these videos will help to prepare me for a life full of many more wonderful memories.

Fun tastings and a great guest! Fruit wines would make for an interesting night. When we had a “luau theme” wine night we sampled some pineapple wine which was surprisingly good…
QOTD – I enjoy sampling and tasting wines with all the crew at Ivars (seafood restaurant in
Mukilteo, Washington)!

Hey, nice mention of the Willamette Valley! I’ve lived in Oregon all my life and the Oregon wine country is an awesome place to live.
Hey Gary… it was awesome meeting up w/ you in Orlando. You have any plans to head to Oregon anytime soon? I can hook you up w/ Tamarack Cellars in Washington… my wife’s relatives own the place and I’m sure would absolutely love having you up there.
Anyhow, keep up the good work… and man… you’re blowing up in the social media scene in the past 2 or 3 months… gonna be big man!

Man… I’m gonna have to… but… man you’re butchering it when you say “Oregon”. In Gary V. style… your pronunciation of Oregon is OBNOXIOUS!! LOL.
Lol, If you come to Oregon and say it the way you are (you’re saying it Or-e-gone… ) you’re gonna get heckled man.
Gar, switch it up a bit and go w/ “Or-gen” or “Or-gin”. That’s the way it is here in Oregon bro.
Hey, if anyone is coming to Oregon and wants to taste wine in the wine country… look me up.
Cheers,

The faces on those two in the title frame are hilarious. Wondering why does the guest always get hidden behind the bottles?

I have a good friend from my hometown who is a blast to drink wine with. His pal is simaler to mine so it works well. Last time we started with wine and then moved to some beer that he brewed, it made for a fun afternoon.

Crap. I just watched 5 episodes in a row without commenting. I think that officially makes me a lurker.. Wait.. I just left one now.. Am I a hypocrite now? God Dammnit!
QOTD: Solid question. I would guess it would be my friends or anyone that wants to crack open a good bottle and hang out and drink it. My wife is useless, she thinks Mike’s Hard Lemonade is good wine; so she it out.

This wine is like if you took an 80s action figure and throw it in the grass in a dog training park and then hit it with a wooden golf club into someones armpit.

My wife and children. Though my wife’s tastes and mine differ greatly. Have not yet had the chance to share any wine with Kristen from Emperor’s Club VIP and at $1000/hour she should bring the wine. Interesting tasting on today’s episode. Haven’t seen a total on the cost of this tasting but with $75 and $50 wines it should have been quite a bit.

Good show!
Love to share a glass of wine with my wife.
Other than that – I like to drink wine with people who share the passion for what they are drinking, rather than the simple drinking of alcohol.

QOTD – I’d love to say Sarah, but we don’t have the same taste in wine, so it’ll have to be my mate Paul, as we end up talking the same language with a glass in our hands.

Hey guys,
This reminds me of a funny (hilarious!) article I read a few months ago about the most bizarre sports today (that you’ve probably never heard of). I think you’ll like it, check it out here:
Wine always reminds me of sports…diverse, and everyone has their own taste.

I love drinking wine with my wife Tina, Rich James (insert your favorite Dave Chappelle line here) and Jilly Bean.
A little R & R (Rick and Rich) always gets the party going!
Cheers from Alabama!

QOTD: My wife would kill me but it’s my Dad. I only get home about once a year and whenever I do I always sit down with my dad over some fish, beef, mashed potatoes and salad and enjoy some good wine that we’ve found over the year and have been waiting to share with each other. Enjoying with wine with my wife is also awesome. Also, drinking it with the winemakers and listening to their passion and stories always bumps the wine up at least 10 points. That’s the key: a “90pt wine” can easily become a “100pt wine” when shared with loved ones and enjoyed with smiles.
