Happy Early Birthday and
Happy Anniversary to you and LIzzy!!!!!!

Gary, love the show. I watch whenever I get the chance. But sometimes when I don’t have time I skip through to find your take on the Jets (predictions, comments) cause I LOVE when you talk jets football. Just a suggestion– you should put a little divider (like you do for each wine) on the navigation bar for when you talk jets football.

QOTD: Ty law– :)? :(?

Good show, Gary. I like the mixed-theme as well.
QOTD: I sometimes have a bad feeling, sitting in front of my screen and doing my programming, typing, aswering work, while others around me work more visible, more easy to notice. Do you know that the feeling?

QOTD: I’ll think of something really good for the next time you’re in the Seattle area.

QOTD: What is your favorite beer? LOL.

Yes I also recognized the Dave Batista figurine. It was very good to see a Beaujolais Cru get some publicity. Sounds like a truly excellent wine.

If I am not mistaken, Gewurztraminer means spicy grape. Although for spiritual reasons I do not eat shellfish, I have read that this kind of wine goes very well with raw oysters, a good substitute for muscadet or fino sherry. That wine looked delicious too.

QOTD to Gary: What wines do you drink purely for pleasure, guilt-free? And, are you planning any visits with videotaping to the Alsace region?

QOTD: What’s your favorite food and wine pairing?

Gary, are you talking about American Muenster cheese, which has a pretty mild flavor, or the funky, stinky Alsatian Munster cheese?

QOTD: What’s a good German red wine? I’m studying in Germany, and even these Germans don’t think they have good red wine.

Bonus QOTD to Gary: Since you did a very fine job of describing the virtues of the underappreciated gamay noir, may I also ask you what other ignoble varietals you enjoy, that deserve more respect than they presently get. Speaking for myself, I happen to be a big fan of well-made Sylvaner and Pinot Auxerrois (if you can find it).

QOTD: What are your dream projects over the next couple years? WLTV has been such a phenomenon, what new Thunder storms do you see on the horizon.
Great show!

Good show Gary, One of my best buds used to be a wine distributor, it was awesome watching him work it.

QOTD: That’s a good one, I don’t know, I’d probably just talk about freakin wine and football…perhaps steaks.

My three favorite things!

Tell me what you are passionate about. I have gotten away from Beaujolais for a while now as most of what i get her is DeBouef and I’m not fond of his wines. Give me a good Moulin a Vent though and I will run with it.

QOTD- the only thing I’ve ever seen you do that really pissed me off is eat foie gras, so I’d ask you how you can possibly think there’s nothing evil about that! (That’s presuming you’re not consciously trying to be evil, which you’re obviously not cos you’re still a great guy!) But still. Really immoral stuff.

my original comment with the fixed link is still awaiting moderation

QOTD: What is you the best bottle in your personal collection.

awesome show!
Had my first bottle of gewurz a week ago – LOVED it. seriously floral and peachy.

QOTD: Are there any days when you don’t consume ANY wine at all? I mean, not even tasting?

Good show! It coincides nicely with our next wine tasting of Beaujolais on November 21st. (no noveau)

Jim

The gewurz & beaujolais sound SO YUMMY !
QOTD: What wine goes with chicken. 🙂 kidding
OK Gary a question to you could be, did you vote for Obama as you said you would, and how do you feel about the future of our great country?

QOTD: How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood??

Excellent! Times three!!! Among Lucien Albrecht’s very good entry level wines is the outstanding Methode Champenoise, Cremant d’Alsace Brut Rose, also under $20.

Several sites state that the St. James Little Basket Press is 100% Grenache, a portion of which is purchased fruit from Rousillion, and some of that, which is carbonically macerated. In order to have 50% proportion of a cuvee from the current vintage, it follows that that volume (x number of barrels, or half of the cuvee production) must be fermented seperately from the solera wines, then blended with an equal volume from the solera. Remainders may then be added to the solera for the next vintage. This wine sounds cost conscious in production methods employed, as well as deliciously juicy. Reminds me of the Vin d’Avril from Paul Avril…

Petit Vin d’Avril.

QOTD: Gary, If the New York Jets were a wine, what would they be?
