Great Subject GV!!! Definately one to pay attention to!

Thanks Gary

Great episode

Oh, there y’are

Oh, there y’are

Better late than never!!

Gary looks nervous- Girls make Gary nervous!!!! Does anyone believe Gary could actually drink a full beer- He is def. the guy that leaves half beers all over the place-

Does Funky Brown date fat married white guys who can cook!

I am sure the hairspray smell isnt from Gary’s Matt Lauer haircut

Gary, don’t tell me you’re a Yankees fan… I mean, sure, I drafted Matsui and Jeter in my fantasy league, but still… I drafted Santana and Wagner first.

I’m definitely appreciating the baseball references – hope to see ’em through out the season.

Interesting trio of wines.

QOTD — out of circulation too long to remember!

Funky Cold Medina
“…told me a secret
on how to get more chicks
put a little medina in your glass
and the girls’ll come real quick
it’s better than any alcohol…”

never really HAD to date, so i wouldn’t have an answer.

QOTD: Some activity neither person has ever done.

I hope to see you rockin’ the pink tomorrow, Gary. I bet you’ll wear it well! 🙂

Can you try some 100% Malbec? I’m pretty sure you’ve mentioned how much you like 100% Petit Verdot, so I’m assuming you’ve tried it on the show before, but how about some Malbec? Perhaps a Bordeaux-varietals episode, with blending? Okay, maybe not blending, but still… Malbec?

Also, I think the Oak Monster can be good sometimes… sometimes.

In other news, ladies and gentlemen, Gary Vaynerchuk went 2-3 today with a walk (that’s for #3). (Too bad we can’t draft you in fantasy leagues, as far as I can tell, it’s a rare day when you don’t have a single hit.)

One more thing… You were talking about decanting wine “for a few hours” in yesterday’s show, and I remembered one of my Dad’s clients (he’s a patent attorney) who makes a very cool wine decanter; it’s called The WineFall (http://www.thewinefall.com/). You should check it out; from what my Dad done with some wines, it does some serious decanting in a matter of minutes (minutes if you want to do the whole bottle, seconds for a glass).

QOTD: A nice picnic is usually pretty fun.

Hey, a sex and booze show, what a concept. You two work well together….

QOTD :::

WINE TASTING!!!! 🙂

It’s between that and the art gallery — both if there is time. Coffee is a favorite too, but that’s more pre-first-date 😛

It’s funny though — I’m a coffee LOVER and spend just even a little more time with that habit than I do my wine dependency. Anyways — there are huge tasting similarities.

Obviously coffee ALWAYS tastes much more earthy, and rarely gets into the really sweet realm, but one could even argue there are more dimensions (of which those dimensions are more accessible to the home taster). I’ve finally taken to roasting my own green coffee beans, then grinding and brewing (or pulling shots) all myself. There is a HUGE difference from the stuff you buy at the store. Fresh roasted and ground coffee is an almost sweet drink (none of that starbucks bitterness) when only lightly roasted and not long after picked. And just like wine grapes, coffee beans REALLY hold the taste of the surrounding soil. The red lava-rock soil lightness that you get with a Hawaiian Kona bean is NO WHERE to be found in a Peruvian bean (which ends up tasting darker, moister, etc).

I’ve heard that a great wine can have up to 8 distinct tastes in the mouth — can you confirm this, Gary? I’ve also heard that expert tasters can separate over 100 distinct tastes in a good, freshly roasted, ground and brewed coffee. Amazing.

Anyways, I’ll stop blabbing. But GARY ::: you should consider a COFFEE tasting episode. Grab Mark Prince from http://coffeegeek.com/ or someone like that who is an expert in the field and go at it!
