    I think I’ll buy the book, if for no other reason than to satisfy my curiosity about what you really like in wine. I won’t know the answer to that without drinking several wines that you like.

  • Byron Chen

    qotd yes I will buy the book—looking forward to it.

  • Congrats on the book, Gary! That’s a huge milestone for you and I hope it’s another validation of the efforts you’ve put in here on WLTV.

    BTW, I’m a drinking a 2005 Chateau de Lugagnac Bordeaux (a WSJ pick). I’m loving the complexity of the Bordeaux vs. the Cali and AU wines I normally drink.

    I’ve been enjoying WLTV for a long time now and I hope you keep it up. Facebook thunder requested.

    Oh yeah QOTD … buying the book? Sounds informative, so put me down as a yes.

  • Mike in MI

    I just bought the book–two copies, even, so I can send a copy to a fellow Vaniac Nation traveler. Sorry to hear that some of the wines you raved over, though, will not be included–guess that leaves more room for more new ones.

    Now if I can only remember them all . . .

    Hey, congrats on the book. I’m looking forward to reading it and keeping it in the car as an easy-to-get-to buying guide.
