Great show Gary, 3 wines I need to pick up now.

QOTD: Formula 1 racing–stayed up til 5 am last saturday night just to watch the race live from Malaysia.

I am passionate about music, especially anything relating to acoustic guitar

Great show Gary. Enjoyed the shiz, hah. Things I’m passionate about: progressive rock and democratic politics.

Good show as always Gary!

Besides family and wine, cruising(cruise ship vacations) is another big passion for me.

Hope to see you Saturday while I’m celebrating my B-Day at the WL store event.
Going to spoil myself silly with wine gifts to me! A whole bunch of ’em. Or as many as my wife allows because I always say a few bottles and leave with a few cases! The last time I was there(WL) I couldn’t push my cart it was so heavy!

QOTD: I’m passionate about Dagoba chocolate, making my kids passionate fans of anything (although skulls, pirates, and death seem to be recurring themes at the moment I could live without), reading anything I can get my mitts on, and getting everyone in the world to understand that I’m a goddess.

Also, there are some of us who like that seriously dry stuff without food to wreck it. Nothing worse than a wine that tastes like Kool-aid, but hey, I was raised on my grandfather’s rotgut basement wine that makes chianti taste like a wine cooler.

One of your picks for the next big region was Canada. Mine is South Africa for Chardonay. Yea..that’s probably old news, but lemme tell ya, man am I finding some great wines (mainly Chards) at great prices coming from there. Sure they’re not the Flowers or Hanzells…but, like you said, they roll in at a fraction of the price.

Lve the Edmeades, too. The 05′ was killer.

QOTD: Travelling. Especially to wine specific locales. Going to Walla Walla, WA & Spain this year spefically to taste the regional wines and bring some back.

Nice show, bringin the thunder! I am most passionate about making wines, here in Humboldt County, CA. that express their true terrior.

Tasty show today.

QOTD: The environment. Yep, a treehugger 2.0. That makes me wonder – are there good organic wines?

Gary! What’s with all the late episodes lately??

…probably has something to do with your low comment counts!!! If we don’t know it’s there how can we have something to say!

QOTD: My passion seems to shift every few months, but some that maintain are: Star Wars, Politics, Lord of the Rings, Animation (making it, not watching it…I mean I like to watch it too but, anyway.), Classic Anarcho-Punk, Lord of the Rings, Atari games, Science, Learning new stuff all the time, Drawing/Painting, Wine!! (this one is kind of new!), Design, Did I mention…LEARNING NEW THINGS ALL THE TIME!!!

Great show GV. I am passionate about playing piano

i think that the # of comments has more to do w/ the qotd than anything else….

jason: music – you go to SxSW and come back talking about social networking websites?!!? WTF, didn’t you see any bands??

crista: passion=what you give 100% me holy spirit oh is that Wine???

RE: peller island show comments: SEE! Forget Ontario, do a Okanagan/Similkameen (ie BC) wines show already!

Seemingly contradicting succinct answers of the day, I am most passionate about words.

Hope you all are signing up for Twitter.

Passion? The Caribbean and Scuba Diving.

Great show, good wines, good thoughts.

I am passionate about my work. I work in a very busy pediatric ER taking care of really sick kids and believe firmly that God put me on this planet to do this. I am also passionate about my work with the police department, otherwise why would one do it as a volunteer. I get to right a few wrongs in this world and it does not get much better than that.

OH and nice ponies. Fruitcake.

QOTD: Music, and honestly I can’t get too much more specific, but I suppose complex jazz and rock would narrow it a bit (but I really like everything, except maybe newish country).

QOTD—-Philadelphia Eagles

My Little Ponies…My daughter’s favorite in the 80s
qotd: good literature, poetry, gardening, art, cooking, great movies

Awesome ep – way to bring the thunder!

Gary V is the best thing to happen to wine since grapes.

Gary, tremendous show! The thunder is back–in you…and that’s what counts:)
Also, a possible Good Deal alert: went to a wine tasting today showcasing Gemtree Vineyards out of McClaren Vale, Australia–wasn’t super excited walking in(who really wants to try more; but was truly impressed by their ‘Tatterly Road’ 2003 a Cab Franc, Petite Verdot, and Merlot blend. Never would have guessed it was a mid-range australian red wine(I think about 14 bones). Some nice sauteed bell pepper, cherry skin, tobacco, good controlled fuit going on. Nice stuff, maybe you sould check it out for the peeps. QOTD: People, Language/travel, and above all Jesus Christ.

love when you try wines that are already in my wine cabinet. Now I can compare my thoughts on the zin with yours. That with the April 1 pack makes 4 wines in a week.

QOTD: All right boys que up the 70’s disco soundtrack. SAN DIEGO super Chargers SAN DIEGO super Chargers. Thunder bolts and lightning lighting up the sky. Sing it SAN DIEGO super chargers charge!

I always like Edmeades.
QOTD: I am passionate about my cats: Cleo, Quincy, Tigger, Itty Bitty, Sailor, Josie, Lavender, Babyface, and Pavo; and wine – especially fruity ones, but not too sweet; and of course, family. Also, shopping. And opera is becoming a passion.

Lately I am passsionate about trying new experiences. One of my latest new experiences is “Unoaked Chardonnay” (thanks to you). Tonight I am drinking the A to Z unoaked chard from Oregon. Maybe you could do a show on unoaked chard??

Cheers!

QOTD: I am passionate about folks (like laurie in VT) who are passionate about caring for dementia patients (like my late mother). Angels amongst us!!
