QOTD: Secret de Cardinale 2005.

The energy was off the charts today, Gary -yeah, I’m on a first name basis w/ you, whether you like it or not 😉 I loved the show, and loved the content. You’ve often referenced these wines but until today I wasn’t exactly what characteristics defined ’em. Keep bringin’ it!

QOTD: Chateau les Quatre Filles CDR, cheap and balanced!

WAY TO BRING IT!!!
Go Gary, You’re on fire.
And yes, I’m Maried to a Vaniac Widow. Right before that part of the episode, I just told her “I’ll be right there!” Oh man, am I busted. LOL!
Have a great Easter!

Great show Gary!

QOTD: We’ll be celebrating Easter and having the Chateau Gigault Cuvee Viva 2004 and the Segura Viudas Cava.

Lurker comin’ outta the wood paneling on this one! Long time lurker, first time commenter because 1) GV– you seriously brought the freakin THUNDER like you were on a QUIET RIOT reunion tour today! 2) nostalgia is fierce (spent a year of my life in Orange eating boar and drinking CdP and found that my pal freaks on grenache+ south rhone v’s. and 3) i’m marking my 35th year and answering the QOTD with a mean go getter of a PEPSI CHALLENGE: 2005 Owen Roe Sinister Hand stand a 2005 McCrea Grenache. IT’S ON!!!

Great show Gary.

Just back from a tremendous/redunculous Southern rhone wine dinner at
Native Bay Resturant in Chippewa Falls, WI,,, that’s right,,,, great food and wine in freakn’Wisconsin Baby….
How fantastic to come home to watch tonights ep,,,, you are rockn’ it GV!!

🙂

Great ep GV!

KICK-ASS SHOW!!

i have never had Du Pape, but i have always wanted to. so much i havn’t tried yet. a little low on the cash-flow right now cause of the economy and my car stealing my vino money. anywho…KILLER show! radool out the ass!

thanks gary! thanks mott! thanks WLTV!

The energy on today’s show was why I first started watching WLTV; nice job GV. Lots of curse words dropped today though – keep in mind all those babies watching along with their parents man. QOTD: thinking about trying the Cuvée Terroir 2005 Chinon this weekend. One last thing: if you’re gonna make a t-shirt that refers to all the men leaving their women for you and WLTV, you better flip it and make one that refers to all the women that know their wine and teach the men what’s up! Keep it real.

oh man… EPIC show today! no two ways about it. and with that said… time to crank that little monkey.

QOTD: a friend told me he bought a little PV (no other details given) for sat night, so i am on that. friday night is cupcakes and champagne, thats right the bubbles…. and cupcakes.

smile, it’s free!

GV–I know you don’t celebrate it but can you get an Easter episode for Friday??? I’m in charge of buying the wine for our party and need some advice on pairing wine with a ham dinner. All I’ve seen to go with it is riesling. I could use a suggestion for a red.

Thanks

Goodbye Mr. Spalding! Great show Gary. Bringing the Thunder times 10! I couldn’t keep lurking after a show like that.

QOTD: 2005 Pillar Box Red, Australia (Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot) for less than $10. Parker gave it 91 points.

06 Pascual Toso Malbec
06 Seghesio Zin Sonoma County
06 Campus Stella Albariño Rías Baixas

Thanks for the great show today.

QOTD: Borgovecchio Amarone $20

“It’s a goddamn Wizard of Oz in this wine world”

“Slim-Jim!”

“This makes no sense!”

I am going to have to buy the last one you tasted, I love sweet candy, over the top is going to be for me. I still haven’t bought anything yet, but I will be buying a good new-world and a good old-world when I do, to compare, and appreciate. I really love V8 juice, so I might like the old-world veggieness and BALANCE as well.

Great show today. The break did you well it seems, and the insane amount of comments of course.

You said radool again. It’s not that I don’t like radool, I just think that if you can smell SlimJim in wine that you can do a little better than radool. You need to amalgamate better words. Rad and cool is too easy. What’s next? Hipad from hip and rad? Yesool for yes and cool? If the beer drinkers at Miller Lite were able to come up with travishamokery, then the refined wine drinkers at WLTV should be able to come up with something better than radool, like… thundersnifftastic? Tastyseekoutable?? SillynessdoesnotmakesensepartyinyourmoutbombOzness??? Put your writers to work dammit.

Nice episode!

QOTD: gary, I’m gonna be drinking some cotes du rhone and rueda. ahhh, interesting mix. but, the CdRs specifically I’ll be drinking are the 04 Guigal CdR, 05 CdR, and the 06 De La Janasse CdR. the rueda I’ll be drinking is the 06 Naia

thank you much for doing a value driven CdP episode and also very nice on calling out BrandonM for not realizing the sangiovese love. Just take a look in the TNs section to see how a few of us chi-town guys love the sangio when we had an awesome brunello fest

so, the real question is, why do you keep on shying away from Burgundy episodes(bourgognes don’t count). Step up to the plate and give the vayner nation some burg love. I try as hard as possible but we need to show them the light

Great show Gary! I’m new to watching the show and have already learned alot. I think that we are going to have a 2003 Jordan this weekend, but I am going to need to pick up a few of the Chat du Pape’s to try after this show.

WOW… Awesome Show Gary,

QOTD: I’m going to try some ST.HUBERTUS – OAK BAY MARECHAL FOCH 05/06

Thanks for the AMAZING shout-out, Gary!

And just so you know… my boyfriend is no longer a lurker. He’s an official Vayniac, now, and proud of it.

LOVE the idea of the “WLTV Widows club.” That’s definitely gonna go places.

Because everyone loves a third wheel… especially if it’s you. 🙂

Dude, you are freakin’ out of control man. I was getting chest pains just trying to keep up with you. Late show, but great show. CdP is my fav.
