Victor Hobson just got owned….

Gary, I really enjoy your tangents when they have to do with the wine. However, lately I have been noticing that your tangents seem to relate to other topics which my girlfriend (who is making me write this) does not find quite as interesting. Remember its all about the wine. But we will still watch anyways.

QOTD: Greco Di Tufo – never had one.

Italian white wine? Maybe a bottle of Pinot Grigio is in order for the weekend?

I was watching an episode of Boy Meets Grill and Bobby Flay went to a wine shop looking for wines to cook with and the owner of the wine shop recommended he use Feudi Di San Gregorio Greco Di Tufo to cook his Mussels with. The dish looked really good so I went and sought the same wine. Needless to say the Mussels came out great and I drank the rest of the bottle with the Mussels and it was a great match. You hit it out of the park matching it up with shellfish. I currently have a Lilla Trebbiano d’Abruzzo in my cellar that I am planning to try next which I have never tried.

Great Show!!!

QOTD: I have never had a Greco di Tufo….never actually heard of it till this show.

–RH

I cracked up a TON of times– World of Warcraft, Victor Hobson; great episode.

Haven’t had a Greco, but I’ll be looking for one!

Greco Di Tufo (sounds like a badass wrestling name!) is a wine I have not tried. Awesome! Must seek out and try.

This weekend I’ll look for some Italian white I haven’t had, e.g. Greco Di Tufo.

Yo brother..!!!

Stuck the book widget up on the ol’ Winecrazy.com

I’m working on moving tons of them. I haven’t heard back form you on my email so get back to me. I’ll come in ad get a few books.

I’ll try that 3rd wine and tell you what I think of it as well.

You’re the best!!!!!

Classic episode… numerous laugh-out-loud moments. I have added the book widget to my blog.

QOTD: I must say, I have neither had or even heard of Greco di Tufo. Thanks for introducing us to it. I am DEFINITELY going to try some as it sounds like something my pallet would appreciate.

QOTD: probably many, but I’m unfamiliar with those ones

I agree about the Vesevo. I often find the Mastroberardino Greco Di Tufo Nova Serra even more interesting.

What happened to the episode on GOOD Gavis that you promised so long ago?
I’d also like to see an episode on Gravina. As much as you like Loire whites, I would think you must like Gravina.
Thanks for all of the great shows. I’ll try to keep commenting so you don’t have to call me out anymore.

Gary, I enjoyed the episode once again! I really want to smell some rubbery wine!!! your awesome, peace out

i have to try a greco di tufo. i have a a grillo from sicily an a verdiccio trebiano blend as well. good wines.

GV..thanks for introducing me to yet another varietal that I’ve not paid any attention to. I picked up two of the Vesevo. However, are you sure it’s an 05′? You did the 05′ a while ago (#322) and the WL site shows that being sold out. Just curious.

Either way, I’m looking for some nice Summer sippers and this looks like a winner.

Thnx.

What are the differences between “Greco di Tufo’s” and “Terre di Tufo’s?” A friend of mine gave me a bottle Teruzzi and Puthod Terre di Tufo 2003, and I have yet to open it. You said Grecos earlier than 2004 should not be bought. YOu think this is bad now?
Great show today-I was feeling the energy! 450 coming at ya.

Gary Great episode this greco di tufo sounds awesome. I hope that i can seek some of this out.

QOTD:
-I hope to seek out some greco di tufo 🙂

Hey Gary,
It’s funny you ask because I just happen to try a new italian white yesterday without having watched this episode yet…it was a Soave by Allegrini and it was fabulous…good body and weight, nice strong acidity, good lemon zest on both the palate and the nose…and overall really well balanced…I’d love to hear what you think of it..

If I were to pick my next new italian white I’d like it to be either Lacrime Christi or Grillo.

for the most part Italian whites are garbage, so no, I wont be buying on this weekend.

btw – Unless this is the same as 322 (which you guys are out of), you tasted the 06. CT is killing it.

Gary,

Never heard of Greco Di Tufo and I am really into Italian wines. Thanks for expanding my knowledge and I will certainly look for this varietal this weekend.

For a moment there I thought Sir Gary Vaynerchuk was going to come out! LOL

QOTD #1: none. Thanks for the introduction.

Favorite Line of the Day (FLOTD): “Like a Hollywood actress who weighs 87 pounds and thinks that right.”

P.S. I think it was just my internet connection, but I couldn’t get the video to play the last 4 minutes or so. So, I don’t know what the second question of the day is (if there was one!).

Gary,

I have put your widget on my myspace. Link below. I am looking for a great wine inspired background, do you have any ideas?

Okay man, don’t get TOO serious on us! QOTD: I’ve actually never had a Greco di Tufo, so perhaps that’s the next Italian white I should try. I’m a big fan of Gavi, for a GDT might be a nice branch-out – thanks for the idea!!
