Brought the Thunder again. So jealous of all the Vayniacs that are able to order the secret packs and taste along. Sounds like some winners today.

QOTD: I hang out on the wine.woot forums quite a bit.

Very jealous here in Washington where we can’t buy the secret packs. >:(

Me? I hang out on the beautiful Puget Sound, at the local wine shop, used book stores, and at the library. Not the WL, but a real one..with books, you know?

I haven’t watched yet. Waiting till I can get together with my sis to do the Two-Pack (weeeeeeeee).

QOTD: Our fave place to hang is on our deck in our back yard with all of our friends & family around. Of course, we have to have some warmth first…the never-ending winter.

GV, I can’t to smell tomato juice! Gonna bring the pack back with me and enjoy it with some friends. 🙂 We’ll let you know what we think of them.

QOTD: In my apartment, home with the parents, coffee shops, the library (esp. around finals time).

I hang out in Williamsburg lately but usually I all over Manhattan.
You can always find something to do in Manhattan.

DUDE!!! I am LMAO!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

I was attracted to the girls w/chicken Pock marks too. Bonnie Beste was the first one on 2nd grade. Too friggin’ funny!!

Fun episode! I agree, the south of france needs much more love. Not only is it less expensive, but the flavors are all over the place.

QOTD: Mostly at home, with friends a day or 2 a week. I’m a simple guy.

South France rocks. Because I live on a lake, I hang out on my deck.

There’s just nothing quite like getting to taste along with the Thundershow!! I love it. As I said a month ago… this MUST become/stay a regular thing. Even though my pal (relatively inexperienced) doesn’t match exactly with yours, GV, I love hearing all the aromatics and flavors that can be picked up from the wines I’m drinking. Who knew, V8 juice can be made from fermented grape juice 😉 That’s EXACTLY why wine is so cool, and while I’ll never stop trying new wines.

Rockin’ wine choices, and a RIDONCULOUS SHOW!

QOTD: I hang out with my family’s cows down on the farm… no vayniac knows the funky poopy smells better than me!

QOTD: I like to hang out at my buddy’s restaurant, most of my other friends also hang out there also…its are meeting grounds…LOL!! He also has a nice collection of wine behind the bar, that’s what I really like!!!

Where do I hang out?

Wow, Gary V, didn’t think that this one would be so hard, but the answer is, I don’t. Between work, overtime, etc., the closest answer is home. Either in my office working on my blog, http://www.robswinereview.com, and other online projects or with the dog and/or wife in front of the 54″ flat screen, that’s about it.

Thanks for the wakeup call.

Merlot,
Rob

QOTD: Lately I hang out around the galley of 747’s on my commute to/from Shanghai. You meet some very interesting people on flights!

I hang out in bars where I know the bartender. There are 3 great bars within a block of my house – I guess I’m pretty lucky. Nice choices in wine today, Gary. The thunder was brought.

I did hang out at local wine bars and restaurants quite often. Since I have been turned on to WL TV I guess I hang out in front of the computer watching and tasting and learning. I cook a ton more at home and spend all my fun money on vino at retail price rather than restaurant price. Thanx GV!

QOTD – I hang out at home, or at my girlfriend’s… pretty boring, but that’s where I am ‘a lot’.

OK GeeVee … I say it all the time … maybe you don’t even bother reading it anymore, and maybe you’re sick of hearing it … BUT … you and your show have helped my (and Darcey’s) appreciation and knowledge of wine more than any other single source. I am so bummed I couldn’t make it up there for your party, and also kicking myself for not getting the mystery packs. Keep doing what you do! You are loved, respected, admired, and appreciated!

Anywhere where there are good friends, that’s where I hang.

Did anyone smell cat piss in the 2nd happy face wine (le muscle’)– once I figured out that smell I can’t smell anything else about that wine!

QPTD: Next weekend I’ll be hanging out at Seattle Storage with you, GaryV (and Mottt, and Matt!!!!). 🙂

I mostly hang out at home with my husband, but we’re known to head to wine tastings at shops and wine bars on Friday nights and Saturday afternoons. Oh, and once-a-month I get to hang out with uber-cool Seattle Vayniacs.

Not to bust on you Gary, but the whole point for me buying the secret pack, was to be able to compare notes..and you totally blew off what you got from the sniffy sniff, on the Le muscle…Wow, how different our palates must be……I didn’t get much flavor from the le muscle at all, although did get the tanniny part.I liked the Fitou MUCH better, got the tomato juice on the nose part,and agree on the strange finish…

When I’m home in Boston: Friends houses, parks, IHOP, the Candlepin bowling alley

When I’m in Chicago: Grant Park, mine and apartments of friends, IHOP.

Gary: When you announced the one or two-pack offer, you didn’t make clear they were THREE different wines. I ordered the two pack thinking you were going to taste two wines. I should have ordered both packs to better compare my palate and nose with yours. Please make this more clear for a future offer. Thanks for the opportunity to taste the wines along with you!

Great show. Good wines. Glad I got all three.
