  • I’m a 38 Year Old Woman!!! Woo Hoo!!! Do you think Gary could do an entire show sitting on his hands? (except for using them to sniffy sniff and whirl, LOL)

    QOTD: What high school did you go to? (LOL – that’s just an inside joke for any St. Louis people who might be here.)

    SERIOUS QOTD: What was it that took your delivery of the WineLibraryTV Show from a basic wine tasting show to a revolutionary, kick @$$ Wine Tasting Show? Your energy and passion went from 10% in the very beginning to 1010%. What did it?

  • Anonymous

    Great show. I’ll dig into some Gamay next week.

    QOTD – If you had to make a choice between drinking wine and marketing/business, which would you choose? In other words, you either have to quit drinking wine or quit your job. Which way do you go?

    QOTD 2 – Are you no longer “Friending people up” on Facebook?

    My question is, do you have any standard “go to” wines you depend on for dinners and guests or are you always mixing it up?

    Nice show of various stuff. Enjoyed the Beaujolais rant, as always 😉 (every time you’ve done Cru Beau you’ve done this…I always chuckle a bit)

    QOTD: If you HAD to, would you give up wine or football?
    QOTD2: If you were going to buy a chunk of land in one of the other 46 to start a winery, where would it be and what would you plant?

  • dalmation

    QOTD: Which 10 wines could I try that would best describe your palate? Then I could really tell how similar our palates were, and where we differed. That would make your reviews even more useful to me.

  • QOTD: So when ya comin’ over for dinner?

    Sometimes I feel like a weirdo I’m such an Alsace and Beaujolais fan. Such great wines, such great values in the French wine world. I’ll buy a case of the beaujolais you tried if I can get my hands on it….

    Fun show ! I agree with you on beaujolais being under rated. I had a beaujolais village last week with my flatmates. I really liked the structure that it had.

    My QOTD: what red wine would you recommend for red cote du rhone lovers? (from other countries than France)

    PS: I have been writing my 4th year Italian project on Tuscan wines and the past WLTV episodes have been great help ! Thanks Gary ! 🙂

  • Weston

    Gwertz one of my favourite whites

    The Little Basket! hah our wine rep came in for dinner brought in this wine in the portfolio tried it its cool has a dusty cellar notes to me really neat.

    Moulin A Vent – I have one half of case left of these in my cellar!

  • Gary Veeeeeeeeeeeee…. you rocked it on this show! I love the shows when you are so stoked and full of piss and vinegar, like someone shoved a few Madagascar hissing cockroaches in your shorts! Great advice on the gamay. I have only had the beaujoulais (is that how you spell that? probably not…) nouveaus, and those were like kool-aid with a slight kick. I will have to find a REAL gamay and check it out. Thanks for opening our eyes!

    QOTD – what would be your top 3 favorite chinon/cab francs, from anywhere, at the moment?

    QOTD: What did your Dad do when you were young to make you love him so much and cause you to be as passionate (or more) about family and friends as you are about wine?

    Also: I would like to know your answer to NJ-Vettester: QOTD: Top 10 movies of all time?

    Gary,
    Terrific episode. The Best.
    As for the Cru Beaujolais, thank you, thank you, thank you.
    You got me into Morgon several hundred episodes ago and I call these “poor mans Burgundies”.
    I must admit that I am guilty of not leaving comments very often but these wines will bring me out every time.
    I was drinking a Babcock pinot when I sat down to watch, but I put the cork back in it, and went down and pulled out a Brouilly I happened to buy last weekend. No comparison. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
    QOTD: How long do you think it will take you to turn Beaujolais in to a $75.00 wine.
    Best wishes

    So now you’ve got May blossoms down pat, tell me this, over a glass of wine:
    How can you consider yourself a serious wine reviewer when garrigue isn’t in your palate palette?
    I know at least one reviewer who finds it in just about every other red wine he tastes 😉

    Great show.

    QOTD: I sent over 3 bottles of wine, a T-shirt and a shout out several weeks ago, and have not had any confirmation or feedback. What gives?
    At least say “Hey, We got them”, “thanks but no thanks”, or send them back.
