QOTD: Adjust….I’d have to change it to the 1976 Chateau d’Yquem. I have only had it once…and I’m dying to try it again.

QOTD Can’t think of a wine I would want to drink every day. But if I were restricted to one wine I would still go for Ridge Montebello. Maybe twice a week.
Sara’s a great choice for a guest. I’d love to hear her sing. Felicitations on the wedding.
I’m looking forward to trying the Oklahoma wines. The sister of a friend of ours lives in Norman and offered to drive to El Reno for the wine. She phoned ahead and was assured that they would set aside 4 bottles of Meritage for her. When she got there those 4 bottles were the only ones left. They said they had calls from all over the country and from Europe. They didn’t know anything about WLTV, but now they do.

good show, good show, sarah is a good vaniac and learned the ways of the force. she even has a little sass… beware, not all wine has sass though. i like the new intro BTW, i meant to drop that in the comments before.
QOTD: no fucking clue. i have wines that i really like. but as the days, moods seasons change, so do whats needed at the table. i am drinking a lot more whites, and roses as of late cause syrah, cabs and even pinot is a little too much right now. i do need to open some good cote du rhone for the BBQ this week and i might crack a nice bottle of st emilion this week casue good friends are visiting form paris. yeah!
i will look for the CDP. i did not get to drink any this past fall / winter… so sad. i will make up for it next year.

Don’t have anything I could drink everyday.

QOTD: I have a hard time picking favorites of anything, variety being the spice of like. But I didnt pick this handle for nothing, I could drink Chandon Blanc de Noirs almost every day….

CISCO = Liquid Crack

make that the Spice of LIFE

why do I bother trying to post anything before my a.m. coffee???

Hi Gary
Great insight as usual. I missed you when you were recently in Houston. I have a bottle waiting when you decided to join us again.

Dont know that I have one that I would drink every day. I enjoy good Sangiovese’s. So, if I had to choose. Good basic Italian reds.

QOTD: If it had to be only one, i would drink Cline Smallberry Vineyard Mourvedre. Pop one if you want to experience chocolate mint!

When are you going to have your wife on WLTV? That’d be a very special show.

qotd: 1995 ridge montebello

Great Guest, fun episode!
QOTD- 1999 Far Niente Cabernet, not that I could afford it, but if I could I would drink it everyday.

Another great episode!

QOTD – Kim Crawford Sav. Blanc.

Escudo Rojo Pinot Noir!!

Sara is right on point with the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc! I tried it in May while out of town for work on night with dinner. I was BLOWN AWAY by this unique tasting wine!

Nice Cisco shout out. Wouldn’t that be a show to have Gary drink some bum wines? What would the over under be on him throwing up? Great show. I can’t believe after a year she can taste all those flavors, great palate training Sara.

QOTD: Morgan 12 Clones Pinot Noir

QOTD: if I had the money (and could actually buy enough of the wine, or at least move from the waiting list to getting actual allotments), I’d be drinking Cayuse Cailloux syrah.

Just getting caught up on my WLTV viewing, after spending a few days on the road. Very fun show — it was good to put a face to Sara’s voice. 🙂

Quite the entertaining co-host. I really want to try that Astrale. Unfortunately I bought a lovely 02′ Astrale E Terra Syrah a couple of weeks ago, only to forget it in my friends Honda. Two 92 degree days later my friends backseat pocket was painted a brilliant crimson, and I was out 25 bones.

QOTD: To everything turn turn turn……

Hey “BB,” You have got to be kidding me. We don’t talk like that here in Vaynerland. We spread the love, we don’t call out stupid remarks like that. You know you know better. Please apologize, or at the least, quit doing things like that.

Great show. Sorry, but wasn’t going to comment until I read the lame statement by BB. Seriously, have some class. Sara was a great guest and you are obviously a loser.

Nice little show. Very entertaining.

QOTD= 04 Clio

QOTD: My favorite wine of the moment is Twin Vines Vinho Verde, 2007 vintage, from Portugal. I’ve even podcasted about it tonight, on Cubs Out Loud! Episode 22. (http://cubsoutloud.com/) It’s very inexpensive, and it’s available at my local supermarket. It starts out with Granny Smith apple, moves through starfruit, peach, and kiwifruit, and is delightfully frisante, such that it’s just plain fun.

Mea culpa for my insensitive comment about Sara. As punishement I have imposed a 30 day banishment on myself from viewing any Wine Library episodes. I will also drink nothing but 2 buck chuck this weekend.

Hey all! Sara (this show’s guest) here. Thanks so much for the (mostly positive) comments, and I’m glad you enjoyed the show! I had SUCH a blast with Gary, it was just the greatest, and I’ll never forget it. Also big ups to those who came out to show support at Cornelia’s in NYC, we had a packed house! And those of you who bought the CD, I hope you enjoy it! Hope we can have more of these conversations soon! Today I’m back in Los Angeles, and I’ll be attending the young winos meeting tonight, and then in the coming weeks cooking some food that will go with the wines I bought at Wine Library!

QOTD: To answer my own question, of COURSE I’ve learned from Gary to try new wines all the time, and I ADORE doing so. But for the question, of course my go-to white is the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc (whatever is the current vintage, ‘o6 was awesome and now ’07 is bangin’). For reds it gets a little different. I have to say I love Concha Y Toro’s Don Melchor and any and all of Liparita’s cabernets.

P.S. Gary let me taste some other wines behind the scenes when I was there, including a $500 bottle of Chateau Lafite that he’d opened for a bigwig previously taped guest who’s coming up, and he wouldn’t tell me who it is. Holy moly! And, inexperienced as I am, I found it good, but not amazing. My fiance sisn’t like it at all (go figure, we’re plebians). Give me my Don Melchor any day. Gary told me to give my palate a couple of years. 🙂 In person, Gary is everything he seems, genuine, sweet, generous, fun…I love him even more now that I met him.
