another classic Gary-ism…
“I’m feeling a calmness of excitement here” huh??

Dominus Estate 2004 1500ml

Gary was inspired tonight! Great words and tempo to tonights show Gary.

I am gong to have a bottle of the 2005 von Hovel Estate Riesling Spatlese from Rudi Wiest. This baby goes for 14 bones and if you give it some air it will blow your doors off. ’05 was a great year for Mosel Saar Ruwer and this baby has the weight, acidity, complexity and balance. Really a solid effort.
Very good with the spicy Asian take out for Saturday night.

I might also open a 2000 Eyrie Reserve Willamette Vally Pinot Noir, it should pair well with the obligatory Easter Ham on Sunday night. Probably would sell for about 40 bones right now, which is a bargain for premium Oregon(e) Pinot anymore unfortunately. Though entry level Pinot is becoming more available in the 15 to 20 range which is good to see.

Heheh…ya killed it today. It was a classic moment, my wife came home half way through and asked me why I was watching that annoying guy again and then like 10 seconds later you said, “I know the women are like, ‘who’s that annoying guy..'” Talk about timing, we had a good laugh over that. Anyways, loved the show as always! 🙂

This episode presented some of the best and some of the worst in your ‘performance’. Overall — not so good.

yo gary,

if you can find it. . . try Domaine de Montcalmes Coteaux du Languedoc

its so pretty. . .

burt match, raspberry, charcoal and strawberry on the nose. super dry with a wild citrus finish

it will ”sharpen you up!”

Hi gary still boxing after this great episode ! 🙂 you’re in perfect shape !
Remember that the wine world is a endless journey not a destination ! and i agree 100% with you. With the forthcoming easter i would like to visit and explore the pope’s cellar not in chateauneuf du pape but the vatican’s cellar i’m sure it hides great things happy easter to all of you from france

GARY! AMAZING SHOW AS ALWAYS!

I’m a usual lurker. comment every now and then. I know it’s hard to keep track of all your friends! I finally got a debit so I can finally buy this stuff online instead getting pumped up about a wine and trudging to the wine shop only to not find what i’m looking for (although theres always something!)

Love ya Gary

sincerestly,

This weekend I will be having a
-Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint Pierre 2002 Monopole by Domaine des Varoilles
but after seeing this show I’ll probably get a chat9dupape as well, because I don’t think I ever had one (!) I did have some nice Gigondas and Vacqueyras wines that I enjoyed a lot!
Have a nice weekend!

Another fascinating show. I can’t help but sense a little, just a little bit of snootiness in regards to “new world” wines. While they might not tickle Gary V’s fancy I think they have a big spot in the wine world.

BAM BAM, this show acts like a hedonistic fruit bomb! You spoke the most words in 30 minutes ever on this show! Wohoo.. I need to come down now 😉

QOTD:
2004 Mitolo Shiraz G.A.M.
2001 Gunderloch Nackenheim Rothenberg Riesling Auslese
2006 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett

The Lurker from Seoul is actually leaving a comment. Great show Gary!

Hey GV,great show again, keep them coming! I’ve been off CDP for quite a while, the last few I had a couple of moths ago were rotten but you’ve inspired me to seek out some more. There’s plenty to choose from here in the uk all reasonably priced so may check some out this weekend. I’ve decided on two definates to share with the family this Easter weekend… a white bordeaux, Chateau Tertre de Launay and a Spanish Calle Mayor cab sav.
Keep it going.

Very good show again. Enjoyed it very much. It’s nice to see that you have the same excitement about being back that I felt about you coming back.

QOTD: The girlfriend and I have been alternating between reds and whites, and we last had a white wine, so something red. I’m leaning towards something Malbec right now. We’ll see…

Total thunder today Gary!

QOTD: Honestly don’t know what I’ll be drinking this weekend as Pops has just returned from a week in Italy and will certainly have a few treats to try. Will report back later.

Great show. Love the Roussillon so looking forward to you tasting some of the wines.
QOTD: We’re going away so it’ll be a mystery tour this weekend.

GREAT show, Big G., and it’s fantastic to have you back in the saddle and RI{{ING through another energy-packed show. Electric.

QOTD: This weekend? How about 2005 Mabileau Bourgeuil St. Nicolas- gotta love the 2005 value for Loire Cab. Franc.

Awesome show GV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes, wine and the Fam-izzle! ya know, i need energy like that at work!@!!!!

QOTD: My first ever Malbec. (2006, Gascon) Probably be drinking with some fellow CKCs, who will bring their own varieties.

I have to say it’s quite a coincidence that I mentioned Chat du Pape in my comment yesterday, and you role in with it today… I’m stoked that they brought you a similar thunder.

Great show mate.
Hope you are refreshed after a time off the THUNDER SHOW!

Great show!! Not long enough.

This Easter weekend I will be drinking an 05 Hentley Farms Shiraz that I received from my sister on my 40th birthday last week.

I am drinking Mollydooker Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz 2006 – 96 Robert Parker – 92 Wine Spectator – Very New World
