QOTD: Keep WLTV going!

So, I’m at the pickup window at the Wine Library today. Just as I’m picking up my wine, including a case of D’arenberg d’arry’s original 2005 (my wife’s inexpensive fav), Mott walks by. Mott actually got me a little starstruck. So much so, I didn’t check the case and was given the wrong one. Now I gotta make the 40 minute trek back down there this weekend to exchange it. All I have to say is…

MOTT!!! Link THIS up!!!

Just do your thing, I’m good over here.

That’s right, baby… Gholston is a MONSTER! Before you know it he’ll be sacking Brady like he did Henne! The Buckeye crew is bringing continuity to the Jets’ line(s)

QOTD: Winelibrary can bring the thunder into my home (of course), but also can debunk the myths of imported wines and enlighten my drinking experience!

QOTD
What can you do for me? How about another tast-a-long with Gary just like the xmas package.

QOTD: nope, I haven’t had either. But I absolutely adore the cab francs as well as some sauvignon blancs from the Loire.

What a great show today! You killed it!

My wife and I have been on a Rhone and Syrah kick lately so this was right up our alley.

What can WLTV do for us? I know this is a sore subject, but how about shipping to WA State? I know you’re working on it so I look forward to when it’s available. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Send our thanks to everyone (including Mott) behind the scenes.

gary, if you can give a shout out to Costa Rica… give a shout out to Rep. of Panama! we’re right next door! 😀 haha

QOTD – keep on being GREAT.. and, shout outs to Rep. of PANAMA!!!!!! I repeat.. REPUBLIC OF PANAMA!!!!!!!! hahaha

@12:37, please don’t tell me you trained your pallet for that.

PALATE, I meant palate … yes, long day. LOL. Please tell me no.

i’ve had a few tastes of Fixin in the past couple years. We sold a lot of it at my old restaurant and saved a little bit for the staff to taste. Really really dig the Fixin.

Wine Library has done plenty for me already. What can I do for Wine Library?

QOTD –

Gary,

I have learned so much in the last month and a half that I have been watching your show than my whole wine drinking career. I have always had a passion for wine, but always found it hard to get immersed into the culture. I always found myself on my own. WLTV has taught me so much and I am about 80 shows in now and am looking to watch all that I can.

I feel like I can’t say Thanks enough.

I look forward to seeing your ass on Conan again.

Thanks and please keep bringing the Thunder

Cornas…have never tried it. I sure with I could buy it from Wine Library. Which leads to the QOTD: WLTV can talk to the good people at http://www.winelibrary.com and get them to start shipping to WA state again. Seriously, I would spend way too much $ with y’all. So maybe that means don’t do this. Wait, do this. Work it out. I’ve even sent emails to the state congress people involved in the votes here. Don’t know what else to do.

HAD to drop a comment just to say: that was a ripping episode. Well done.

QuincyOTD: Have I ever tried a Quincy in this lifetime? About 6 hours ago.
The French Wine Roadshow passed through Vancouver and we went to the tasting this afternoon. There was a whole table filled with Quincy SBs and they were delicious.

Never tried a Cornas, need to go russle up a bottle. Thanks for the enthusiasm and info. Have had a couple Fixins and enjoyed them muchly. Keep rocking with the lesser-knowns and educational details, can’t get enough.

QOTD: You are already doing it. Don’t stop the thunder. Ever.

QOTD: Review a Grillo, svp. And send Sean Avery all your corked wines ;>)

(and iirc, there’s a 16 you can vent on for a bit).

QOTD: wristband for lurkers?

Hey GV
I can’t believe that you DIDN’T decant these wines! You HAD to know about the tannins. checked out ep 18 recently – lots of fun. QOTD – just for fun – do a blind tasting. Have Mott or familia or staff pick some wines and have you taste blind. could be fun.

Wine Library can come down under to Australia. Bring some thunder down under.. Oh that rhymes.

QOTD1: Can’t make it out…too far from Japan.

QOTD2: Call me a romantic but I love to hear about the history of the winery, wine region, winemakers, etc. Also, maybe once a month or once every two weeks or so do a “wine 101.g” or some themed show without as much tasting and more on the content of a certain aspect of wine.
Ex: Explain Biodynamics
Talk about reduction in screw caps and that whole battle.
Talk about soil and terroir.
Highlight rising stars, vanguards from ages past, overlooked, etc…but not in any reference to a certain wine but as almost a “class” on wine.

I think a lot of people would find your take and flare extrememly entertaining and won’t go (waste) spend their money for boring, superficial “classes” on other popular websites.

Just my 18 cents.

yeah baby, cornas. i have had cornas a few times and it did it for me. it is hard though because it is hard to find and not under 20 bucks. not that $20 is my limit, but still. anyhow, coolness on cornas. my favorite description is that of being whipped in the tongue with a leather whip.

QOTD: you can keep doing your show and mixing it up.
QOTD: have some more inside people on like mr davies : ) i suggest lyle fass ( big football fan too) and alice feiring ( also coming out with a book and has a pelethera of great descriptions for the wine)
QOTD: how about supporting my wine habit with some free wine, or reallllly good deals.
