I have not yet had a cornas, but after this show I am buying some. To bad I will have to wait for several years to enjoy. I may see if I can locate some older vintages in the local wine shops.

I am setting the DVR for Conan.

Crap…I knew I missed something…

QOTD: Keep on keeping on. What does WLTV need from me?

I bought a few bottles each of the Paris Granit 60 and Paris Granit 30 a few months back with the intent of just sitting on it for a few years. If I can remember, I’ll let you know how it goes. I’m becoming a bigger and bigger fan of syrah all the time it seems.

I’m in NYC, maybe I can do the book signing, but I’m not sure yet.

QOTD: More blind tastings.

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a shout out, just for me !!!!!!!!!!

To answer your question about being 40: Here is what 40 feels like… opened up a bottle of Penfolds Grange 2001 about a month ago, drank most of it with my wife…it was heavenly. Then, the next morning, I wake up feeling old and tired (and thirsty) only to realize there was still some juice left in the bottle (about a full glass!), poured it into a big-ass glass, and oh my oh my oh my… IT WAS HEAVEN…so much more complex… just so much better… So, you may think 40 is old, then when you get there, you realize, it’s sooooooooooo much better than before… Best Gary, thanks again for the b/day shout out…

QOTD: Blind tastings are good, but getting conan to eat dirty sock is even better. Keep on bringing it day in and day out.

What can WLTV do for us?

I would like to see a “preview” schedule of what you are going to taste. Even is it is “tentative” and subject to change if something BIG comes up. You could plan the Mon – Thr tastings and still surprise us on the laid back Friday show. What’cha think?

Ask not what Wine Library can do for you but what you can do for Wine Library.

Bummer the JLC Cornas didn’t show quite well today, but I gotta tell ya, if you ever get invited to a party Jean-Luc is going to be it, don’t hesitate. The guy loves food and wine more than anyone I’ve ever met. I was at this thing once on a roof deck in Hell’s Kitchen (his US marketing guy’s apartment) and he had about 100 people crammed up there. The whole time, Jean-Luc was running around like a maniac. Every so often you’d here WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! … I look over, and he’s hacking apart two WHOLE tunas. He’d throw the chunks on the grill with some sea salt and olive oil real quickly, then run over to one of four who prosciutto legs and hack off chunks for everyone, then go hack at the tuna some more. Was really great fun, but mostly showed that Cornas wines can be for a casual gathering with simple, solid food. Was a total blast!

first off, not in NYC on the 13th, sorry…
QOTD:
what can WLTV do for me? hire me as an intern for a stint. some kind of a position where i can be involved in buying and tasting, and seeing the ins and outs fo the internet side of things as well. i gots some ideas and need an educational launch before i dispell them.
this is indeed a lot to ask, and nothing i’ve considered until you asked… so it’s spontaneous and innocent request.

QOTD: I would really like to see a tempranillo episode, maybe compare some of the cali wines with some from spain?

I would also like to see priorat discussed.

QOTD: Keep on doing what it’s doing.

Major delurking in progress! Thanks for all the great shows Gary – kudos on your book. Don’t suppose there will be a Canadian book signing? Anyway, love the
show! Great to look forward to coming home each day and watching with a nice glass in hand. I echo a previous comment that suggested that it would be great to know in advance what the theme of the show is, where possible. And, from someone held hostage to the LCBO… it is always great to see featured wines that we can get here in Ontario. Cheers!

What a great show….glad to see you bustin’ out some Cornas. I’ve only had two before…maybe three. Let’s see….side question. I’ve hven’t had the Fixen(sp?) but I had a Quince(sp?) that was imported by Kermit Lynch about 4 months ago…and it was good…very good.

QOTD: What can you do for me? Hmmm…I think I’ll save this one for a bit and use it when I need it…..

WLTV helps us know more about the varieties of wine to search for. Our local areas are so small, you widen our horizons. Thanks, btw.

Keep bringing the thunder, and send me the new wrist band I’ll take a picture and post it immediately.

My beloved Cornas! Wonderful ep, GV.

QOTD: You work hard to bring us value. It would be rude to ask for more!

Clothesline Tom Brady, you da man, love it!

Good show though I believe I’ve never had a Cornas.

QOTD: I’m in 7th Heaven what WLTV does for me EXCEPT make a trip to the DC area. Other than that, I’m snug as a bug in a rug. Keep it up.

And unfortunately, no NY meetings so I won’t be attending the book signing. Kudos to you.

What can WL do for me? More Petite Sirahs (inc. Aussie Durif), start carrying the Israeli non-kosher wines! You talked about having that episode last August, and we’ve been waiting almost 9 months for it.

Keep up the good work, GV!

I’ll be there at Borders hopefully. Rip it on Conan!

QOTD: Scotch episode!
QOTD2: Get your own show on Food Network! (Seriously, that channel is going down the drain with all their crappy content. Save them!)
