My best friend Sue. She’s always willing to try wine she’s unfamiliar with and is enthusiastic about doing so.

QOTD: My wife, Molly, definitely.

She helps me write great tasting notes and can pick out aromas and flavors almost as well as Gary. In fact, we have a deal with local wineries whereby they give us three bottles of wine for free and we write their official notes for publication. Pretty fun!

No “Whether they like it or not”???

QOTD : My wife – though she rarely drinks anything

QOTD: My new thirsty thursday group who are all pretty much wine newbies! It makes me look like I know what I’m talking about!

Hey GV, still looking for the 4th wristband. Matt, please put it in my next shipment

QOTD #1:
I have the “Bring The Thunder Wristband”.
I would love to have one of the newer ones !!
QOTD #2:
Love drinking wines with my bud Joe…we open many bottles and use many glasses and spend hours talking over the wines and about the wines.

GV, Thanks for everything

Riche

QOTD — My favorite person to drink wine with is my lovely wife Michelle.
We have had a lot of good wine together.

** i have got that wristband G … Would like to get that cool yellow one.

QOTD My favorite people to drink wine would be my best friend from school, my co-workers, or anyone who is interested in enjoying wine.

QOTD: My wife.. that has been pregnant for 8 months now so just cant wait to share a few wines with her..incredible moments for me!

Good show thanks

QOTD: Hands down, my dad Ralph.

Good show…love to see some Burgs getting some face time.

QOTD: Anyone who shares the same level of passion and intensity for wine that I do….

Loved your ode to mother Russia. I see you don’t miss her much. Lol.

QOTD: My wine peeps at the SSWT (super secret wine tasting)

I lean more to Volnay, but dig and respect Pommard. Thanks for doing this one.

Last wine 15 years too soon? I can see 5 years from now, maybe 8, most 10. can’t drink after 10 years (2015)? Then vollie this bottle to launch your neighbors new rowboat or canoe, esp after dumping $93 on a ? mark.
QOTD: someone who can hold their own with me drinking vintage port and laughing in amazment how good it is…

Good education, which is what I enjoy about your programs.

QOTD – As my wife does not enjoy wine I really do not have a wine drinking partner, except for my son in law that I see on occasion, but not for just wine drinking.

Great show! I love Burgundy, and Pommard is a good entry point: sophisticated enough to show what the really good Burgundies can do, but at a much lower price point. For me, Pommard almost always needs time to soften the rough tannic edges…especially the great ones. Man, I love when Burgundy shows smoky, mushroomy, barnyard nuances, and great complexity along with its typical silky texture. When its right on, it is king.

PS: I think the flower was a pansy.

QOTD: No contest… my wife Meg.

My favourite person to drink wine with is my Dad.

QOTD: Absolutely 100% my wife Courtney, who didn’t have the privilege often as she was quite pregnant.

I love Burgundy as well and miss not drinking it due to the ridiculous prices for my favorites. I have not been a big fan of Pommards because I just find them too meaty without much elegance and elegance is my reason for drinking Burgundy. I have many favorite people to drink with. First my wife, them my kids, and finally several best friends.

Interested in seeing what happens 48 from now (then).

QOTD: My brother in law Pete. He knows a ton about wine, and educates us all when we drink together.

Yo G, Thanks for another Cooool Burgundy Episode!! Moochoo Moochoo
Moooooooooochoooooooo Thanx……. 🙂

QOTD: Love slurppin’ da Vino with my Best Friend & his Wife, they are
extremely enthusiastic Vino Fanatics like moi……. 🙂

Even though my dad has no taste for higher quality wines, I still love to drink with him. I only get to see him a couple of times a month, so we open a bottle or two, talk, play darts, its just a lot of fun.

I have not had the pleasure of a great Pommard since the late 70s/early 80s which would have made the vintage around 73ish.I once considered Pommard my all time fav.

I would have to say I most enjoy drinking wine with my wife Irina (who by the way is native Russian) but a close runner up is my oldest bud “Jersey Joe”

QOTD: Jes Phalen – always an enjoyable drinking partner.

Great show, never tried Pommard, and realized I must be missing out. Thanks for continuing to deliver quality shows that really bring it.

QOTD: I really enjoy tasting wine with my friend/neighbor Epic, I bring the wine, he brings the cheese. Good stuff. Wine is never as good as it is with my wife, family or friends. Ever.
