Great show, Gary. I’d caught you in snippets before, but this is my first episode to watch fresh. Loved your bit in Kathy Sierra’s SXSW talk – I was there in the room.

Fave quotes for this episode: “C’mon, Google – c’mon” re smell-o-vision. And the whole Dots candy sequence “La-la-la” bit.

Keep up the energy and the passion. The folks around the corner at my wine shop will be thanking you. 😉

great show. not sure what I’m drinking yet this weekend. but I have a question. On one of the first wines you said that is drinking well now but you would expect it to go into a “shutdown” phase for a year or so. This is the first time I’ve heard someone expect a wine to shut down in the future. What are the indicators that lead you to believe this?

great show! i’m pleased to see some wines from chateauneuf du pape reviewed. i have several bottles from that region, but the wines don’t always work well with my palate.

qotd: my girlfriend and i will be having the 2004 Delas Hermitage Les Bessards that you reviewed in episode 398. it’s the first time I’ve purchased a $100+ wine without tasting it first. should be interesting!
we’re also going to a riesling tasting.

Love the show today. I am new to the Vayniac community- just found out about winelibrarytv a few weeks ago. I never knew you could get great value out of wines as popular as Chat. Neuf du Pape, wicked excited! Ordered the secret 2 pack – cant wait till april 1st.

Wellcome back, GV! Good to see you pumped. Love the southern Rhone wines. Looking forward to next weekend at WL.

mott link it up properly!! you all did not have 2004 Saint Jean Du Barroux Lâ??oligocene on the show today and I was looking for the wine in the 3rd position.

I am drinking a Patricia Green, 06 PN, Croft Vineyard, Willamette Valley, OR.
Serious juice, all up in your grill. Lovin it!

Great Show!!

Qotd: I have family in town, so probably a big Fruit Bomb that everyone can enjoy! What wine should you taste? Dunham Trutina 2005 – I’ve always wondered about their wines, and hey it’s from that little state you love – Washington baby!

Pumped up GV always goes down smooth!

QOTD – 2001 Chateau de Pez.

I’ve got a thing for Bordeaux’s Crus Bourgeois…

QOTD: Twisted PiG 2006 California Pinot Grigio.

This is the first wine I’ve bought since becoming a Vayniac. I’ll admit the label got me a little bit.

Excellent show btw. There’s been much thunder these last two. I like bringing Mott into the mix.

A great episode. Thanks for the information and the energy.

Will try a CDP for sure.

QOTD: I’m drinking an Aussie shiraz by Judge George Shinas called The Guilty. For the second bottle, Rombauer Zinfandel.

WOW! I had to take a Valium after watching this show! Looks like your vacation did you some good Gary!

I will be drinking:

2002 Don Melchor
2005 Pillar Box Red

QOTD: I’m not sure what I’m drinking this weekend. We’re going up to Mendocino. Hopefully we’ll find some fun stuff there. I am going to bring an I’M Rose.

…poor deer

QOTD:
Sumac Ridge okanagan valley black sage vineyard 2005 cab FRANC
Ganton & Larsen okanagan valley 2006 chardonnay
McLarens On the Lake austrailia 2006 shiraz

Excellent sipisode! I am now thirsting for some CDP and must find a remedy soon!

Halleluiah! You were ON FIRE today GV! I loved the “starburst reduction sauce” image. Nice one. I had one of those “aha” moments recently…I was sniffy-sniffing the 2006 Trapiche Oak Cask Pinot Noir and I had an epiphany. It smelled like when you’d make Kool-Aid and when the Kool-Aid powder would rise up after you put the water into the pitcher. Needless to say, I found it not to be an enjoyable wine. It’s all about balance, you’ve got that right!

QOTD: Parents are coming in town. Going to show them more good wine. We’re gonna have the 2006 Domaine Des Cassagnoles, an Ugni Blanc from Gascogne. I’ve had it before, it’s a great QPR.

QOTD: 2006 Ken Wright Cellar Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir.

QOTD: DeLisio Quarterback 2005
El Puntido 2003

Really looking forward to the weekend….

Awesome, damn glad your back! QOTD: 1996 Jade Mountain Les Jumeaux ( Cab Sav, Syrah, Mourvedre) Good luck finding this one Gary!

QTD: drinking the Abad Dom Bueno 2003 Mencia (Bierzo). A nice dry Mencia at a reasonable QTP, less than $14. Will also try another bottle of Tiburzi Santambra 2005 Rosso di Montefalco…I’m still hoping you’ll cover some Rosso di Montefalco’s soon…preferably some with a little Sagrantino in the blend.
