I think we made it!

I asked a bartender at a Ruby Tuesdays last night “Which of these Chardonnays do you think has the least oak?” He had no idea what I was talking about. Told me it would probably be the sweeter wines that were at the top of the list instead of the drier wines toward the bottom. Of course since I only started drinking wines again a couple months ago… well, a couple months ago, I would not have known about over-oaked Chards either, and at least he was being honest and taking his best guess. I went for a dry one, Frei Brothers, but told him if it was full of Oak I would be diving across the bar claws out in my best “Oak Monster” impression. That was when he pulled the night stick out and beat the crap out of me in a back alley.

Not really on that last bit, but I can’t just post.. “Hey here is another post toward 600!”

Due to the weather I didn’t get my xmas pack here in California until Saturday. I’m a little confused, my 4 wines don’t match this episode.

The invoice says… SKU 43117 “Wltv Secret Christmas Pack 2008”.
In the box I have…
1 – 2006 Monteflores Merlot
1 – 2004 Montirius Gigondas
1 – 2005 Green Groves Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
1 – 2005 Clos Du Prieur

Anyone else have this happen?

@ S. Cronce – We got two boxes here. One with the wines listed for #600, and another with the Thunder Cuvee white, a Torrontes, a Bourgogne Rouge pinot noir, and the B. Shifrin Howell Mt. Zin. They showed up a few days apart. Weird.

QOTD: I didn’t get a secret pack this time around. Thank you for a great show though. I’ve been “offline” and I see you’re already past 600 comments so I’ll just add congratulations on show 600 Gary and Mott. I did catch the Today Show on Thursday morning so congrats on that too. Thanks again.

600! Wow!

Anyway, sorry for your Jets GV. And Patriots, 11 wins and no playoff? (Playoffs? Are you talking about playoffs?) Part of me think it’s ridiculous, but most of me is fine by it.

All that matters now is that the Colts are going all the way to a Manning-Manning Superbowl. I’ll drink to that one.

Just visited my mom in Holmdel NJ and were excited to figure out there’s a real wine store that Gary owns! Not just an Internet wine store! We will definitely visit on our next trip! Gary, I’ll bring you some home made Kinkead Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon jelly!

Big G, Big ups to your 600th Ep Man! Love what you do, Love what you do. Thank You.
Jets and My Bears same results. Shoot me now.

What wine pairs well with dried up fruitcake?

Yo G, me condolances on the Jets loss. But Ya gotta admit, they
improved over last years team…….

Been on vacation and looking forward to Puech Haut.

Hope your holiday was good. Mine was awesome.

Congratulations on 600 not out Gary, go for the grand bro,I have’nt forgot your hot spiced shallots, just having trouble shipping fragile food items to the USofA. Yours Aye Richie, Bootneck till I die.

from up here in Quebec, Canada, happy holidays to all and thanks Gary for all the shows!

qotd= hhhmmmm lets see……OH yeah NO secret pack for me because DHL went out of business AAAAAHHHHHH come on

The only thing worse than being a Jets fan is being a Bills fan…
I feel your pain G. The only cure is a new episode of WLTV 🙂
Congratulations on 600!

Gary, You have over 600 comments now…Is this enough??????? I hope it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Holidays Gary, Mott and the WLTV crew.

QOTD: Didn’t buy it. You guys can’t sell to Mass!
I also watched this on Monday the 29th.

Hi Gary and Mott! I hope you guys had a great Christmas. I don’t drink a lot of wine (not because we don’t want to but because my boyfriend always comes home with beer instead of wine). Next year we are going to start trying out new wines thanks to you and your show. I’m going to get him your book and a decanter for our 5 year anniversary (January 21st!). I got my boyfriend into watching your show and he’s since shown it to all his co-workers and his family. I think they watched this episode together on Christmas.

Thanks for making such a great show. Things have been a little tough lately but watching your show always makes me smile.

Also, the Jets broke my heart. I’m a Patriots fan but I was sure as hell rooting for the Jets yesterday.

Also, a question. Now I’m just a cheap person when it comes to certain things so sometimes when I’m out at a restaurant and I want to order wine I’ll order White Zinfandel because it’s always the cheapest thing on the menu. I’ve grown to like it a lot but I always get made fun of for drinking it. Why is it such a joke to drink it? I seriously don’t know. Any insight would be great.

Fun show GV!!!! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas, and I hope you have a great New Year!!!!!!

Congrats on 600 and another great year of WLTV!
You continue to deliver knowledge and entertainments and we are all better off for it.
Our best to you and yours this holiday season.

GV for Prez in 2009!!!!!
