    Wow, a wine that would convert people…I would have to say a nice Bordaeux or a Riesling, depends on there palette .. I really dont know though cause Chards converted me, but i can see a Bord or a Ries playing a high card in this.

    And Yes Gary you need to grow the patch

    Great fun — really enjoyed this episode. I had to laugh midway, though, when I tried to move my cursor away from the front of Gary’s shirt and then realized it was the hand from Mott’s new tee. 🙂

    QOTD #1: For me, it wasn’t trying any one wine that brought me over (years ago). It was going to a wine tasting and realizing how many types of wine there was. The variety and change between every sip was when my eyes lit up and I said aha!

    QOTD #2: no soulpatches, please! Now, a handlebar moustache that you can wax and twist into a point. . .

    Great show!
    QOTD #1 I think a nice Chianti Classico with some pasta might be the way to introduce someone to red wine or a beautiful fruit salad paired with a Vioginer for a white
    QOTD #2 no

    VERY nice show! Makes a person want to win a WLTV contest.

    QOTD #1: Men; Probably a good Aussie Shiraz. Women; Probably a GSM from SW France or something like the Pasodoble from Argentina.

    QOTD #2: Let’s see Vaun, you or Lizzy? You do the math!

  • Top 20!
    QOTD after I watch.

  • Gary- Salvador Dalí style facial hair. Now!

    QOTD- It’s not a matter of which wine one tastes where being “converted” is concerned, but the context in which it is tasted. (Though a good quality wine is important!)
    I discovered I like wine sitting in a Chinese restaurant with my family on Christmas eve.

    QOTD1: Muscat.

    QOTD2: No soul patch, but I would love to see a mustache.

  • Great show, really enjoyed your guest.

    QOTD: 1) I couldnt imagine how to convert someone who really had NO interest in wine. 2) Clean shaven all the way

    Another guest who brings it on the big show. Great job Vaun.

    QOTD #1: I’ll back Neil on the riesling but I’ll go with a sweeter German kabinett or even a spatlase. No one can resist that allure.

    QOTD #2: No chin wiskers or satche’. I’m diggin the youthful boy wonder look.

    Nice show I kinda enjoyed hearing 2 different opinions of the wines being reviewed. Definitely a nice change of pace.

    QOTD 1: I genreally introduce people to wine using Fetzer Gewurztraminer people seem to like the flavors, and plus the price point is good as well.

    QOTD 2: If any facial hair is to be grown I vote for a 70’s style porn stache.
    Something like a cross between Super Mario, adn Ron Jeremy.

    Top notch episode GV. Vaun, you did a stand up job; better than I ever could. I’d be much better as the winner of a trip to France, rather than winning a guest spot on the show.

    Big G, First let me say Big V killed it. Next, could someone turn off the radio when your doing the Thunder Show? Ugh.
    It seems that Washington is really Bringing it these days. I won’t email ya, but I’d love to hear your top 3 places in the world that your excited about, QPR etc. Put them in order and add the years that are doing it for ya.

    QOTD: I think you have to go with the Sugar stuff first. Shiraz etc. I think that is why so many people are drinking Yellow Tail. Hmmmm

    #2. Yes Big G. I rock a Goat and so should you.
