QOTD – I would love to see a little more love thrown the Canadian way. I can not find anything on the Niagara wine region. I hail originally from the Pelee Island area and was so excited when i found that episode, even though I knew you’d hate the wines. They disappoint me as well for the most part, but then again, Pelee Island hasn’t been seriously producing for very long. Niagara is far and away the larger and more serious wine making region for Canada (…or at least here in Ontario). BTW, it’s pronounced peel-E, as in orange ‘peel’ with a hard E on the end, not Pele like the soccer star or the amazing brazilian valetudo fighter.

Gary, you love MMA. I know it. I can feel it. It’s okay. Come out of the closet. It’s nothing to be ashamed of!

Thanks for another good show, Gary. I’m glad you asked this question. You might have noticed that I’ve been asking for a while for you to do a Madeira show. I don’t think you’ve ever tasted a Madeira on WLTV. I’d like to see you do 3-4 (preferably 4) different Madeiras including a vintage Madeira at the end. I had decided not to mention this so often anymore, but it is my first response to your QOTD. I think Madeira is so cool (and strange) that such an episode would be a great opportunity for you to drop some knowledge and get people thinking about a wine that is often overlooked in America.

I’ve read the wines from Madiran have relatively large amounts resveratrol.

people asking for an episode on glassware, check out episode #111. he already did it.

there have also already been many episodes on decanting.

Good value from Pic St Loup

hey Gary…
there have been a couple shows I always thought you should do. I saw some others say you should focus on the Niagara region in Ontario. I vote for that as well!!
Also, I think it would be a fun show to do “celebrity wines”—for example Wayne Gretzky has his own winery now…and I know there are a lot more..I’d be fun to see you’re take on some of their wines!

Unfortunately, I’ll have to pass on the Tannet. I’ve done the math.
Hold the wine for 15 years……I’m now 66……….Hummmmmmm.

More shows on Zins
Love the Torrontes
Argentine Malbecs
Tempranillo

Possible guests? Google Chef Nathan Lyon.

Note to “T.Bone” I too love Alice Waters, but I’m afraid that Gary would blow her out of the park.

I couldn’t come up with anything that you hadn’t done a show about yet. At work I have become the go to guy with recommendations of wine for our guests and the other waiters always want to know where all my wine info comes from. I have read books and magazines and all that but I have to say you have done more for my wine wisdom than anyone. Thank you for the time and effort you have put in for us, we really appreciate it.

QOTD: I collect mostly Italian wines and there are so many unknown grapes and regions from there that I would ask for some of them. Primitivo maybe. Rosso di Montalcino? Gattinara? Prosecco? Some of the lesser know whites?

Or…Maybe some non shiraz Australian wines. Your recommendation of the Leeuwin Cabernet for my Thanksgiving last year was the wine of the day and I have stocked my cellar well with all their wines. Let’s see some more Margaret River love.

QOTD: I know you’ve done shows on Tuscan wines and Sangiovese, but I just had a nice bottle of Morellino Di Scansano and wouldn’t mind seeing a show on it.

BTW, nice job on Fox and Friends this morning… It was on a little too early for me but I DVR’d it….. Question for you GaryVee, what’s up with the tumblers? Tumblers on the show, tumblers on Fox?

Hey Gary,

Would love to see a show devoted entirely to Port. There have been Ports feature before, but there hasnt been a whole show yet. If it’s been as cold in Jersey as it has been here in Kentucky the past few weeks then it’s def Port time!

@BobbyTiger – Tempranillo!

I almost forgot about that amazing wine. Another favorite of mine since my trip. I just wish I could remember the producer of the Tempranillo we had while down there. It was just such an interesting and yet downright delicious wine.

Hey @garyvee – How about some Kentucky wines? Acres of Land is made about 10 miles from where I live… Give it a shot!

Hey Gary !

nearly 3 years of WLTV and like a great Bordeaux, just getting better with age !

QOTD: Could you do an episode on DOC/DOCG Sardinian wines (from Italy). Red (Cannonnau) and white (Vermentino)

these wines are not really talked about, it would be a great episode to discover new wine making regions (just like the Madiran show you just did)

Gary great episode this wine sounds like something I would really like….I love the dry bitter tannins 🙂

QOTD:
-No wine in particular…but I would like to see more Merlot shows 🙂 Merlot is my favorite varietal 🙂

Another great show to watch and learn from. I would like to see more shows on white burgundy. That is an area in which I have very little knowledge. Portugal is another area I would like learn more about.
Thanks

I love the format and energy of this weeks shows. It seems as if you are having a lot more fun with it, and to me that is what drinking wine is about.

QOTD: You had a wine glass episode (155) a long time ago, and it was very cool. Now we know that the shape makes a huge difference. My next question would be…How does the quality of the glass change the flavors? I have tried wine from a “cheap” glass and an “expensive” glass, but not side by side. And do the “breathable” glasses really make the wine appear to be in a decanter for 1-2 hours after 1-2 minutes? I have tasted differences, but I would like to know what you think!

Gary great show once again
It pains my heart when you predict a jets loss
however it was awesome of you to predict a jets victory in the playoffs
nicely put(realistically put as well :))

Show Idea: I would like to see you interview or talk about Jorge Ordonez and a few of his wines. His impact on the Spanish wine scene is worth the discussion.

Great show today.

Gary,

I would love to see you talking about Portuguese wines. There’s so many options, there’s vineyards in all country ;P Portugal started to export wine to Rome during the Roman Empire. Luso, how the portugueses are called many times (Portugal is the Lusitania) was in Mythology son of Bachus ;)). There are 23 Demarcated Wine Regions and only some varieties of castas are authorized in each region: for instance the Region of the Vinho Verde wine also very close to Douro and Port wine, classified a World Heritage by UNESCO. Another is the tremendous type of wine produced in sandy soils – The Colares wine, one of the most expensive because of the lack of lands available for those vineyards – located outside Lisbon, between the foothills of Sintra (another World Heritage village) and Roca Cape (the westernmost point of both mainland Europe and Portugal). 😀
Would be a great show made on any great Portuguese wineries and you’ll be so welcome. If you decide to come anytime please tell; I would love to help 😉

if possible some dessert wines out of australia. ie rutherglen world famous tokays, also, a show dedicated to port and all the different classifications. it can get kind of confusing. love the show btw. always entertaining.

This is gonna sound weird, but i dont really drink a lot of wine, so i’m useless for the QOTD, BUT I wanted to point out the cycle of love on the thunder show. Gary loves wine and life and inspires the vayniacs. In return, we love wine and life and gary, and inspire him to love wine and life. And the cycle continues?

Gary, my man! First time poster. Love the show. How about a Verdejo episode?? Could be sick…

QOTD: Would love to hear your take on Gekkeikan Zipang Sparkling Sake

homework of the day i should say … my friends and i this Sunday are doing a vertical tasting of Clerc Milon there are 10 of us so we took the vintages 1995-2005 and put them in a hat and chose at random, i was the very lucky one to choose ’05. So the first place i turned for research was the wine library but no results 🙁 so long story short i would love to see you do a show on this famous 5th growth thanks Gary.

p.s. the ’05 clerc milon is wine spectators #11 this year!
