Hi Gary and Mott.
QOTD…The Padres.

Can I just say, as a first time poster (im the lu of shawnandlu), that your show is slowing seducing me into the world of the “sniffy-sniff”. I, like many other female counterparts, have lost my man to wine library tv. Coming over to the dark side I resisted at first, but the more I watch the more enthralled I am by your bizarre, yet fascinating, communication style. It’s almost like you have so much to say and your brain is spinning so fast in your head that you almost can’t move your mouth fast enough or use as many odd references enough to get it all out there.
Oddly enough, I understand most of the time exactly what you are talking about. Since being sucked in to your void, I am now actually sniffy-sniffing like crazy every wine I try and it does add a new element that i love to general boozing…i mean tasting.
Here’s to you Gary…thanks for changing the wine world. And you too, Mott. Champions.

HAPPY BASEBALL!!!

Great Show!!!

QOTD: Unfortunately no plans for opening day, but I’m a Houstonian…..so ‘stros all the way!.

–RH

Great show as always, I wish I could have been there for the weekend party.
QOTD- Go Rockies

headed to the store… lookin’ for the Mitolo… gonna get out on the dance floor ;o)
glad we broke the 90+ ceiling today, it’s been awhile!
have personally, intentionally passed over the Boarding Pass a few times at the store now — figured was TOO gimickey. glad i went with my gut on that one.

QOTD: gotta go with the home team – Astros

Not a baseball fan (at least MLB). Go Huskers – #15 in NCAA but just beat #13 Texas 2 of 3 this weekend.

Thanks for your honest assessment of why you have liked and then turned away from the Australian Shiraz’s. Always appreciate your honest and candid opinions.

I have 2 Boarding Pass bottles in the cellar. Bought them because of a Jay Miller’s high praise. I’ll have to go home and open one to compare to your notes.

Off the Shiraz thing for a long time now, maybe I’ll give it another shot.
QOTD: TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS TIGERS!!!

Twins baby!!!

GV, if you do a Mid-west tour and you don’t come to Minneapolis we will seriously hunt you down. All that MN nice crap will be thrown out the window!

Go Cubbies! I’m about to go to my Wine Appreciation class (gotta love being a senior about to graduate) and then I’ll be back to watch more ball.

Hey Gary good show. I tried the Boarding Pass 2 weeks ago and was disapointed myself, I’m a pilot and the label just pulled me in. I did an overnight in Newark last night and this morning on the way to the airport I saw your billboard in front of the Holiday Inn. Very cool!

QotD: I don’t follow sports as much as your average WLTV viewer, if at all. But hey, WrestleMania was kinda fun, wasn’t it? 😛

Awesome show today, loved the first 7 mins! Keep it up GV, very sad that I couldn’t make the 29th

Thanks for the auralian monstershow, Gary. I don’t think you were wrong, bashing a crowd of faceless, unrefinded fruitbombs in the past. They are out there in masses. If it comes to serious australian producers, we can fall in love again and get the real thunder. No Question about that.

QOTD: Oakland A’s!

I try to open a bottle every day.

G-MAN!!!! Mitolo is actually a partnership between Frank&Simone Mitolo and Ben Glaetzer (he is in fact the winemaker)-does this get me a shout out. As crazy as it sounds I have found more distinction and character in most of the Mitolo stuff versus the straight Glaetzer stuff.

QOTD: Go Yankees!

Saturday was fun. Looking forward for the quarterly events…

Good show today GV.

QOTD… NYY! too bad they were rained out today. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.

stop being so mean to mott!

and give the man a shirt 🙂

OHHHHHH

Australian Shiraz “HEY”
This is Prime Daverdude Territory
Should be interesting to compare ?

I’am ordering a Few Myself
But Iam not a Big Mitolo Fan
Well see ?

Ummmm…..who cares about baseball. But if I have to….the Mariners.

DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dodger Blue Baby!!! Think Blue!!!!!!

No plans. Just got back from a week long trip to San Francisco to visit the bro and sis n law. Great show. I love a solid Aussie Shiraz. Wine Library should go on a road trip. Maybe hit all the baseball parks. Come out to Dodger stadium and do a show at Chavez Ravine.

I haven’t gotten around to tasting Boarding Pass yet so I was excited to see it on your round table. I don’t normally drink new world fruit bombs when I drink alone so I mainly stock up on new world staple varietals to serve guests. A lot of the times I buy these wines based on critic/customer tasting notes and serve them without having tasted them myself. Maybe I’ll open a bottle alone this weekend and post another comment. No, I’m not going to just pour it down the drain just because you don’t like it! 🙂 But I really have to give these fruit bombs some credit… because when I leave them in a decanter or in a glass overnight, the next day I smell candied fruit and jam everywhere in my room all day long and it’s really quite lovely. I really do want to try the Mitolo though.

I’m super excited about tomorrow! But I would probably have to hold out until later this week or this weekend to taste along with you.

Oh, and yeah I’m looking forward to this summer because I will be in NYC/NJ more often and I will actually be able to pick up my orders and visit WL for the first time. I’m going to put a small cooling unit in my friend’s place in new york so I can stock for the summer. I would definitely go to a get-together if you were to host one this summer.

QOTD: I’m sorry, I just can’t get excited about baseball. Don’t hate me.

Had a great time on Saturday. Thanks again to Gary and the WL Staff for making things happen.

QOTD: No plans for opening day.

Hi Gary

QOTD:No opening day for me over here in Germany!

Thanks for a cool show!

QOTD: Giants. 50 years in SF without a title. Gonna be a looooong season I fear.
