qotd: a micro brewThe wino in me has to point out that Condrieu isn’t ever a blend, it’s 100% viognier, no marsanne is allowed. (ditto for Chateau-Grillet)

    QOTD – Give me a Guinness any time when there is no wine. I like Beamish and Murphys as well.. Also Rogue is makes some tasty beers as well.. I dig the stouts and Porters.. If you do a book signing in Des Moines I will drive there for sure. (2 hour drive from where I am in Nebraska.) Good show perhaps we could get you to Omaha or Lincoln Nebraska? Hmm… We will see..

    Aka Mike in Nebraska.

    Why diss on the rosemont shiraz? That stuff is great. Since Wine Library screwed up my order and didn’t ship it yet I might have to cancel.

  • How lovely of you to have a fan on the show. Very fun, he was a great addition. I’m a relatively new fan, the entire family enjoys the show. My 16 month old is moved by your energy and waves his arms and shouts along with you.

    QOTD: I’m a fan of the English cider beers like Strongbow.

  • Newman

    Awesome show, you always seem to bring a little extra thunder when you have a guest.

    QOTD: Hands down, my favourite beer: Hoegaarden. Good on its own, good with food. Overall just an amazing BEvERage.

    Nice show. Love getting the varied opinions as well as seeing how others react to your palate. It really helps in zero’ing in on where exactly you’re coming from.

    QOTD: Fat Tire.

    Good Show. Good Guest, didn’t try to “over-do” it. My beer of choice is Heineken. Love the hops.

    My first time leaving a comment, per all your requests for us wallflowers to do so!

    I’m a fan of Barossa Valley and Eden Valley Shiraz’s..but yes, can be a bit too fruity/jammy for some

    QOTD: Graduated college a year ago and haven’t left my Blue Moon and Orange behind yet.

    It’s great when you have guests, this should be a once a week thing. Nicely done. QOTD: I’d have to go with the New Castle Brown… I also love the Sam Adams Winterfest.

    Why stick to one beer? If we couldn’t have wine, Gary would be out there telling us we should be trying other types of beer. =) At our house we try to switch it up often, depending on the food and our mood. Beer is a frequent choice because we like Mexican food, and the debate is lively between the guys who like Coors Light and me who prefers Lagers, Stouts, Ales, (anything really, but light beer).

    Great Show!!!

    Definitely one of your better guest shows in my opinion. Very real and down to earth.

    QOTD: It all depends on what I’m in the mood for. For a big boy beer I’d go with Chimay Blue. For a higher alcohol beer (in a smaller package then the chimay blue) I’d go with La Fin du Monde. For an every day light drinker I’d go with Hoegaarden w/ a floated lemon wedge.
