QOTD: (1) – never have.
QOTD: (2) – now I will.

GV – I’ve been watching WLTV for a couple of months now. I’m totally hooked. I so look forward to coming home from a rough day at the office, pouring a glass of vino and watching the day’s episode. Thank You! You’re the best.

My bride and I fell in love with Vernaccia di San Gimignano a couple of years ago, while, oddly enough, staying in San Gimignano at the (big shout out) Antico Pozzo (antique well) hotel. I’d love to see you do a show on this wonderful and under appreciated wine from Italia.

QOTD: I have never had one.

Nice show with some different wines I have never heard of.

Good show. I’ve had 2 or 3 GdT’s and have been pretty impressed.

QOD – Hmmm…I’ll find something. I’m sure there are dozens.

“The Canadian Contingency” – this makes no sense. A contingency is something that may or may not happen. Canadians have already happened. They cannot be a contingency in any way that I am aware.

They can, however, be a contingent. A contingent, in the context which you are implying, is a group representing a specific area. A specific area like Canada. So, “The Canadian Contingent” would make some kind of sense.

OK, now exiting Vocabulary Nazi mode.

I have never had a Greco di Tufo before, but would be more than willing to try one. I would also like to try an Avellino sometime.

I have had the Aminea Greco di Tufo as well…and well, his review was spot on, especially on the tire aromas. Pretty bland and the only reason it was memorable was because it was such a letdown.

QOTD: I’ve been meaning to try a Tocai Friulano for some time… I’ll make an effort to pick one up on the weekend!

Sweet show with a new varietal I have never heard of let alone tried, I will add it to my ever growing list of wines to try.
QOTD- I may have to put off trying a new Italian white until next week, I have a Pinot’s of the world tasting and dinner to go to which should be alot of fun.

Free Mott? I’ll take it!

Had never heard of GDT before today. Sounds like my style though and will seek it out soon. Any particular reason why the bottle style made me think you were doing red wines at first glance or am I just off base?

Dude, I understand your association with the number 16 and that Vinnie bloke, but come on already! Enough with the negativity! Please find something more positive to associate with the number 16 in the future.

“That Vinnie Guy” is a traitor, and he left an indelible mark on your appreciation and admiration of the New York Jets — I get it. Really, I do. But after four hundred forty-nine shows thus far, is there another Jets player (or whichever other sports team you support; I’m not a sports fan) who wears the number sixteen that does not draw your ire? If you’re in such a good mood as you’re introducing us to new varietals to help us expand our wine world, don’t ruin it for yourself with that brain association. Just find something new to associate with it, is all I’m asking.

You seem to follow pro wrestling. Ric Flair won the championship belt 16 times in his career. How about that, to start?

$16 U.S. can be a great value for new wine drinkers and collectors if the wine is up to snuff. It would really be nice if that point was supported with a more positive association as you’re making that important point, next time.

QotD: I’ve never heard of this varietal until today, so I’ll be sure to look for it in my travels.

QOTD 1&2: Never had a Greco di Tufo – plan to make it my try-a-new-white-wine this weekend.

We’ll be vacationing in San Antonio this weekend and will seek this wine out…maybe we’ll order it with the rubber chicken 🙂

Haven’t had one. I’m hangin’ my head. Now’s the time to order some up.

QOTD: Not that I can remember

QOTD2: I think that Muller-Thurgau will be my next venture to try

AGAIN!

QOTD — I’ve had one, 2005 I Normanni Greco di Tufo. Objectively not bad, but I feel these are a bit overpriced for what you get.

Wow, GV you reminded me of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for a moment raving about Victor then going on about honeybees and the pretty bouquet.

QoTd
Don’t know that I have the $$ to waste on burnt rubber and the like. It may take awhile for me to find an Italian white, but I’ll try.

Nice, way to try new “unheard of” wines! I haven’t explored many different Italian whites, but I have had Trebbiano and Moscato d’Asti. Both were great!

QOTD1&2: No never have and I most certainly will try a Greco di Tufo. Sounds like it’s right up my alley!

QOTD #1: yes, I tried one right after the last time you drank Greco di Tufo on the show. wasn’t that into it, but I promise to try more.

“There’s a little zingy zang zang zing zing on the finish…”

I love how you’re reflecting on and analyzing the episode before it’s even over…there’s one more wine Gary!

QOTD #2: I don’t know which one, but I will definitely try a new Italian white tonight when I hit Terroni on Beverly Blvd.

Never had it…drinking my 1st Chinon now though, with Pizza!

I’ve tried a greco di tufo at a distributor’s wine tasting, but we haven’t purchased a bottle yet. Last night, though, Jeff and I had our first Albarino. Very nice! It went great with the Halibut and Greens we were having with dinner, and was nice enough to have a glass on its own afterward. We bought the albarino last week after seeing it in a local shop and saying, “hey, GaryV loves those!” 🙂

Gary- I have never had a Greco di Tufo yet………….Will do in a few days….. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
