QOTD: Montana!

QOTD: Illinois – Chi-town, baby. The best sports-town in America.

Nice to see the MI wines represent – we have enjoyed a couple of wines from Michigan and agree there is potential there. We’ve tasted some MI wines that were crap, but a few are really starting to perform.

Always love the blind tastings. They’re the best shows.

QOTD
Wisconsin. Some day you’ll have to try some Wisconsin wines.

QOTD: New Jersey.

I haven’t found any decent NJ wine yet, or NY wine for that matter. Any recommendations?

Hey Gary,

This is the first show I’ve seen of yours. Very Cool! You’re a great showman.

Born and raised in North Carolina. Currently living in Plains, Montana.

QOTD: Repping the Central Valley of California, agricultural hub of the US.

Love the double blind format… I wish 1 our of every 2 episodes was conducted like this.

QOTD: Florida – 70 and sunny.

QOTD: Reppin’ Pennsylvania, but livin’ in Mass.

Starting to buy into the NE way of living, but I’m too used to being the city boy out in the country.

QOTD: Colorado, mile high city. I hav tasted some wines from here with a few nice surprises! Nice show, thanks!

Home of the Taylor Ham n Egg Sandwich, Tree Tavern Frozen Pizza and White Manna….none other than the NJ

Congrats again on you new addition!!! California -Northern – Sebastopol

Do you Twitter? follow me at @tennispro 🙂

Interesting findings, but unfortunate ones at that! Louisiana and Minnesota are tough places to make it happen, but at least they’re trying!

QOTD: Ohio, and still looking for a consistent red from here!

Fun show….

Tennessee….

From Missouri – more known for our beer but has a very nice wine country. http://www.missouriwinecountry.com/

I love the blind tastings, it’s so suspenseful!
QOTD: Right now I live in NYC (and I hope to stay here forever, I guess that makes me a New Yorker!)
Gary, do you live in NJ now? It says NYC on your book!

QOTD: Illinois

I’ve had a few IL wines, and unfortunately they were terrible!

You should give that “silent” episode the MST3K treatment–maybe you and Mott together. Hilarious. Fun show, love your energy and enthusiasm and gushing about the pregnancy.

QOTD: Born & raised Louisiana, taught English in Prague, Czech Republic, then to Reno for 8 years, now back in Louisiana. Up here in north Louisiana, we pronounce “Pontchartrain”

/PAUNCH-uh-train/

We don’t pronounce the “r” in “char” like (I think) they do “down south.” Lake Pontchartrain is a gigantic lake with the longest bridge in the world spanning it–24 miles long! It’s really eerie when the fog is rolling, late at night, and you are driving over this interminable bridge and you see the houses on stilts with the cypress trees and their waves of moss dangling over the water, swaying in the breeze… then you roll into the greater New Orleans area, and there is a huge cemetery on the right with the above ground tombs and mausoleums (much of the area is below sea level, so a heavy rain would literally raise the dead–coffins would float up). Creepiness!

Glad to hear you like our state!

QOTD: Michigan (#1 today)

Bun in the oven eh, congratulations!

Weird show. Kinda funny though.

QOTD: California. Great beer, great wine, great weather. What more could you ask for?

QOTD: Pennsylvania; home of the hated LCB

Go Eagles!!!
looking for the Keystone Superbowl

loved the show

OH-IO!! I would hope we’re getting up there with the Michigan/Arizona/Virginia crowd in terms of our wines! There’s a winery less than 5 minutes from my house with a kick-butt Riesling & Gewurz (they first taught me about Gewurz with gingerbread, which is a great pairing.) I’ve also recently had a not great but not bad Pinot Grigio from a Lake Erie island (90pts BTI, I think they were a bit high) and an ice wine from the eastern part of the state that was a bit syrupy but not bad either! Maybe I’ll have to send you a few bottles to try 🙂

Hilarious show, just classic.

QOTD: Florida. I feel like I should be ashamed for some reason…
