I enjoyed the show, but Pinot Noir does not appeal to my palate very much. I can’t say that I have had a Burgundy, but at the price point they are at I have numerous other styles I prefer to drink, So. Rhone, Tuscany, Rioja, etc. I have had some American Pinots that were good, but still not a style that I gravitate to, even after seeing “Sideways”. I will take the f—ing Merlot.

QOTD: My wife first and then the rest of the family. Family holidays are all about good food and wine. My wife was born of 12-23 and me on X-mas day. Makes for a great party week with wine taking an important role. This is when we really splurge.

QOTD: Gary, that’s too easy! My beautiful wife!

Thanks for the Burgh show. I’ve got lots of 2005 Burgh’s, but have only sampled one B. Rouge to date. Most I plan to give another couple of years before I start sampling.

Gary, I took a bit of a break, and I love the baseball card deal. If there was one thing I would collect with a little extra money, it would be sports cards. Opening a brand new box is better than Christmas morning.

QotD: Gonna have to go with my wife. I love that she keeps trying different reds with me even though she only really likes fruit-driven quaffers.

Great show, you have to do get rid of those dam “my little pony’s”.

QOTD: My wife, its special to me when she drinks wine with me because she is not really a wine drinker. She is enjoying more now that she is trying different things with me.

QOTD:anyone who wants to.

Gary Great episode…i bet that last one will be good after the decanting.

QOTD:
-My Wife, Family, and Friends

“. . . whether they like it or not!” Great show, surprised to see the 93 bone wine be sooo tight.

I will need to order some of the Chaniere but what a hideous label. Ouch!

QOTD: Though I don’t get to visit or drink wine with him too often these days, I get sooo excited drinking wine in person with a friend of mine, Dr. Wo (Tom Woteki). One of my learned wine and food connoisseurs in these here parts of DC. In my eworld, I enjoy drinking along with the G-Man each and every night.

Cheers!

Gary, baseball cards are very fun touch. One suggestion: I think at the end of each episode you need to pair each wine with one player/card that best fits the wine. For example, Drouhin gotta be Storm Davis- beefy, tough (well maybe not flowery), but a bit one-dimensional and little pizazz or specialness, but solid (113 wins, 1000 strikeouts); Mailard is definitely Wally Backman – sweaty clothes, dirty socks, cheap pepper. Backman far more exciting than Storm Davis. Domaine af Gros has to be Dave Stewart, big, intimidating, no fruit, just intimidation sprinkled with a little funk and got better and better with age (best years all when over 30).

QOTD: My Dear Wife

Fun show… Side note, I have no wrist bands yet. 🙁

Gary when or where can we see the show you did at the Italy Pavilion in EPCOT? It was nice meeting you and hanging out for the book signing.

QOTD: My wife, Kim.

…whether they like it or not!

Well Gary, you got me into Bordeaux, now I think I might go for some some Pommard Pinot…Catch ya later.

Love you guys!

Nice show. Bring on more baseball cards.

QOTD: The gf, of course.

good show. nice to see a$90 bottle NOT drinkable. haha.

QoTD: I enjoy it with anyone I can relax with, but LOVE it with my spouse. duh?!!
I remember each time that she had never had anything other than white zin when I met her. I’ve expanded her palate and she enjoys most wines now.

QOTD… favorite person to drink wine with is JP

“It’s like a deer ran through the smurf’s house” so funny !
QOTD: An American friend called Toni (from napa valley), he knows a lot about wine and really appreciates a good bottle.

My Dad after he has had a couple of glasses. Not drunk but a little loose.

Gary,
-Congrats on the WE “Innovator of the Year” nomination.
-Thanks for the show–info on “value” Burgs would be great–
I have hesitated to pursue Burgundies to avoid the
pricing slippery slope (or in this case, escalator).
-A flower with a “face” is the pansy or Johnny-jump-up.
-QOTD: I like to drink wine with anyone who will try anything
and won’t hesitate to say anything about the wine–
(my sister-in-law, a loud, verbally creative, hard-drinking
attorney comes to mind as long as politics stay
off limits).

QOTD: My best bud who I met in kindergarten.

QOTD: No one particular person, just good friends or family!!!

my bf christopher…on our date nights!

No question that it has to be my wife. She appreciates an old favorite as well as the new tastes. She has learned to enjoy the fun that comes from France. Free the grapes you jerks(Wholesalers)!
