QOTD: In 1964 I go married, in 1969 my son was born and I finished my PhD at Ohio State. The 60’s were interesting years. During 1969 and 70 I was at Berkeley and became interested in wines while visiting Napa & Sonoma.

Jim

QOTD: Probably the cars from that era especially the Mustang
QOTD2: I will be there in spirit only unfortunately…….

GV nice job on the restaurant tips and big ups to the old wine episode provided by Mr. Anderson…….

QOTD: Hmmm, the 60’s? Beatles, Bandstand, Bonanza…… Pleasant to look back on but now is more challenging.
Wish I could be in NJ tomorrow to meet fellow travellers but alas…..

Great, great, great show. It was clearly special for you and you shared it with us. Thanks. Can’t make it tomorrow, but I can’t wait to hear about it on Monday.

Great Show!!!

QOTD 1: Favorite thing from the 60’s…..1961 Bordeaux (HA….as if I’ve ever had it)…..in all seriousness, the music movement of the 60’s.

QOTD 2: I wish. To all who are attending, have a great time.

–RH

QOTD: wasn’t born yet but love the Beatles…

Dan B:
Not trying to pile on, but it’s obvious that you haven’t invested the time to watch too many episodes, you are entitled to your opinion, however, if you feel this daily video wine blog is a joke, maybe you should tune into Robert Pakers daily blog…oh I forgot, he doesn’t have one.

The 60’s? Bell Bottoms, T-Shirts with Peace signs, Necco Wafers and Turkish Taffy. Iwas too young to drink wine in the 60’s.

QOTD 1: The great 69 Camaro SS muscle car

QOTD 2: Sorry can’t make it but I’ll do the next best and be there in spirit and wish all the other people that are able to attend a safe fun day.

QOTD; Rock music from the 60s is the shit!

Sadly won’t be there tomorrow.
QOTD- Def the music.

WoW what a line up of wine!! The 60s = the Beatles! Cheers

QOTD: will be there with a fellow vayniac and a friend who needs to be experienced. Its a good thing I live a 10 min walk from you guys.

GV I will see you tomorrow and i am bringing my Camera so that means you have to take picture with me…..
QOTD.. I am 32 so i missed the whole free love thig in the 60’s

PS Props to the fellow Pennsylvanian who sent in those wines…..

Gary, another amazing episode! But… I think you should take into great consideration doing a Norton or Cynthiana. According to ApellationAmerica.com, Norton is the oldest native North American varietal in commercial cultivation today.

Come on Gary, try something different!

great show! I liked your suggestion of trying the wine you know nothing about.

QOTD #1: I was born in 1956, I was lucky enough to enjoy all 10 years. I have many favorites that I still enjoy. The hippie clothes, all the great Rock and Roll, my favorite… the Rolling Stones, the free spirit attitude, the choices and freedoms so many people eventually were allowed because of what so many people did during that time. And what about the Avon Lady and the Fuller Brush Man?

My very favorite part about the 60’s however is……. we were allowed to be children. We didn’t have hours of homework, dance, music lessons, sports, etc. taking up every waking minute. We got a thrill out of playing kick the can, Hide and Seek, board games, a bowl of popcorn while we watched “Leave it to Beaver”. We had a dinner each night where our family sat around the table and slowly ate and talked. We were able to have dinner together because we didn’t have a million other places we had to be before we could go to bed. It didn’t matter if our clothes matched and if our hair was perfect, we were more interested in going outside to play than how we looked. How much STUFF we had wasn’t so important. Most kids came home to a Mom after school, now that was awesome!!!!!!

QOTD#2 Wish I could be there, too far away from Utah 🙁

I haven’t seen the show yet (I’m at work), but when I was cruising through the comments and saw Dan B’s comment, I felt compelled to write immediately.

In my opinion…

WLTV, at it’s very core, is a show that attempts to get everyone to try different and unusual wines. This is not a secret. If you are unwilling or unable to try uncommon wines, this may not be the program for you.

Also, If you think about it, it ids impossible for most people to taste more than a small percentage of the wines that Gary tastes on the show. Just like there’s no way for most people to taste all the wines tasted by Wine Spectator (or any other magazine). What we do get from WLTV or Wine Spectator or any of the other magazines is an introduction to new things. I think Gary’s notes are entertaining and informative in and of themselves. I probably taste 10% of the wines he tastes, and I can get them all on mail order. Even though I only taste 10% of the wines tasted on the show, I don’t feel like I’m not being informed or entertained.

I believe that you are entitled to your opinions. I also believe that the most constructive thing that you can do is to suggest changes that a video blogger can actually do. Instead of saying “I can’t taste 90% of the wines on your show” maybe you could ask Gary if he can taste a specific kind of wine that you have access to. Your point is valid, but it is impossible to execute without more specifics. I bet you can help make a really cool show, by asking Gary to taste wines that you have access to. Then we all win.

QOTD: Beatles, Hendrix, and The Amazing Spider-man cartoons!

Very good episode. Thanks to Steve for sharing. It is very hard to explain the experience of drinking old wines, it’s something you really just have to experience. My epiphany in wine drinking came from a dinner with several old bordeaux served, and it was a great experience. I wish I could do it more often – but I’m impatient.

QOTD – I was born in the 60s, but the greatest thing from the 60s for me has to be the space program.

I am not attending tomorrow. Would be cool if I could.

What a lineup of wines!! Big shout out to the cellar that supplied those! Sucks that I’ll miss the big par-tay – pour some out for me! (Nothing too good though.)

QOTD: What happens if the sommelier/waiter DOES ask what you like? Still pick something you’ve never had or roll with their suggestion?

IRONIC! Mid 60’s wines! On this particular day!

Enough partying for my B-Day! Better get my ass in bed so can make the event tomorrow!

“65” BABY!

Wow! Kasha! Good one Gary!

Not born till 72 so…I’d have to say the REAL homerun chase Mantle vs. Maris in ’61.

And Yep…see everyone tomorrow at the Wine Lib!

That was pretty damn cool. Very generous of that Vayniac to drop that vertical on you.

1: I was born in ’66 so I don’t have any real memories of the decade, but landing on the moon would be the most significant thing in my mind.
2: 6 hour drive combined with a packed schedule…love to, but just can’t swing it.

Not got my wristband yet! Will post pics when i do

And as always great show.

More props to you GV, another fun and informative episode. Can’t make it tomorrow though, but if you’re ever in Ohio anytime soon… “link it up” and let us know.

QOTD 1: While the Beatles, the Moon race and muscle cars of the 60’s all stand out in my mind… here in Northeast Ohio, its the flood of 69 that always jumps out at me.
