QOTD: Local Kitchen and Wine Merchant, San Francisco, CA

QOTD: No clue. I’ve never been in a wine bar.

I haven’t really been to a wine bar. Just visited several wineries in the Hill Country here in Texas to do tastings. Always enjoy those.

LIke the bar – glad to see BC get some love on the thunder show!

QOTD: Didn’t try wine that much over here. The alcohol tax is quite high in this area. Jakarta Indonesia.

Great to see you out of the office!
QOTD: Wine bars that stand out for me are I Trulli in NYC..great memories…and Kazimierz in Scottsdale, AZ.
Always interested in checking out new places though!

Have a great weekend Gary!
🙂

sorry gary , dont live in U.S. but im gonna comment anyway.

the best wine bar ive been to is PaPa Bafone in Nagoya Japan.

why dont you think about selling and shipping wines internationally? japan would be a huge market for you 😉

QOTD: The Grotto aka the M.T. Wine glass down on 8th street in Sheboygan,WI.
In a town full of beer, this is the place for wine.

My “101 WINES” arrived today. Now I need a little down-time to read it.

QOTD: We are fortunate to have a bunch in Montreal… but I would have to nominate Trois Petits Bouchons and Pullman as my favorites.

QOTD: Vinum Populi! in Culver City, near Los Angeles, CA. Love it…

Obviously not in the US but if you ever find yourself in Hiroshima, make it to Hana WIne

Wine store/bar where you can pop any bottle in the store for an extra 10 USD or so…lots of organic Loire and Alsace…I’m there almost every weekend!

Alright Gary, I’ve been lurking since July ’07. I live in Hermosa Beach, CA. and my favorite wine bar is right here in my back yard. If you ever make it out to the South Bay area you have to check out Friends of the Vine in Redondo Beach. It’s a great little wine bar that’s near the beach and a good time is always had by all there.

QOTD: Kazimierz World Wine Bar in Scottsdale AZ. It’s dark and moody, like a speakeasy, no bold entrance, almost subdued. Stop in after eating at Cowboy Ciao’s just down the street. Heaven.

QOTD: Salt Tasting Room in Vancouver, BC

Robert Mondavi…Rest In Peace–and thanks for everything.

I have to admit, I’ve been lurking for a while now. I think I started watching in the early 100’s of WLTV. I am an American living in Delhi, India working as a cellarmaster for a resort that will be open in a few months. I’ve been in this biz for about 6 years now, in restaurants, retail, distribution and now at a resort. I share your passion and continue to sing your praise to all of my friends who still think wine is pretentious. I also plan to use your episodes to train my staff when they arrive in the following month just to show them what the jubilation that is wine is all about. Keep doing what you are doing, you deserve all the success you’ve already earned and then some.

DOC wine bar here in Brooklyn is really comfortable and has great Italian and Sardinian wines. I like dropping in to Blue Ribbon Downing Street Bar, after work… Bar Veloce has a lot going for it… some great interesting wines – the Friesa that they were pouring by the glass did indeed (as per their menu description) smell like racquet balls. Oh god, Terroir on 12th does a lot right, but I expect that from the Hearth guys.

Have to agree with Clinton…

QOTD: A.O.C in Los Angeles. I know, I know. They’re really pricy. However, they’re really good as well for both food and wine selection.
