Cool episode, I like the diversity.

QOTD: Tonight it will be a beer. Aprihop from Dogfish Head and Two-Hearted ale from Bells.

Tripod, Gary, Please..

QOTD: Tonight I’m gonna try out the Thunder Cuvee, Napa Valley Red 2004. Expeting a lightning to some out of the bottle and set my hair on fire.

QOTD: Bisquertt Casa La Joya Reserva Syrah 2003 (Chile)…Can’t go wrong with this one!

Also, gotta do another episode with some Chilean wine!!

I’ll echo the other comments in wondering how you store your open wines.

QOTD: I have a cheap Viognier open…it’s too alcoholic but I really wanted to try a viognier.

QOTD: Four Sisters 2004 Chard. A definite thumbs down.

Question for you. I understand the need for the spit bucket while at work (with all the wine you taste in a day you would be drunk by lunch). But please tell me that you enjoy wine at home by actually swallowing it. I watched you, in your home kitchen in this episode, spitting it down the drain and a little piece of me died inside watching you do that.

Great short one! Love the stainless steel in the kitchen and oh was that a bottle of Dom in the frig?!!!

QOTD: Yali Cabernet Carmenère 2007 Colchagua Valley opens really nice if left! On the third day tonight and can’t wait! Tastes quite spicy with clean, red berry fruit + no hard edges. An easy one to drink while you are preparing your meals, then with the meal! YUM!

QOTD: Colunbia Crest two vines red blend.
Talk about a value play, costs $6.00 and drinks
like $15.00

You sure the dustiness on the nose wasn’t because you forgot to recork the bottle for three days? 😉 Question, what difference does drinking from a glass with or without a stem make? I know that with no stem the wine will warm up more with the glass in your hand but is that it?

For this, Olberman should name you…. “Best…Person…. in the Woooooorrrllddd!”…

p.s. I love Pessac. And HP Sauce. Now I’m hungry.

Hi Gary. Been watching for several months and am now taking the comment plunge.

Love the food pairing shows. Have you done burgers? Bbq? Fried oysters?

Show us your crib!

qotd: a bottle of cruzan rum at the moment.

And for Cap’n Crunch, A shout out to Chaim, (C.G.DeArie), Napa Vintner, nventor, and the creator of Captain Crunch, way back in the 60’s!

Cool kitchen…

QOTD: Just finished a bottle of 06 Bogle Petit Sirah…what a “go-to wine” now. Then to accompany our halibut burgers, my wife and I opened a bottle of Jewel Viogner…my wife liked it and I didn’t (1 out of 2 aint bad).

Shared a bottle of “Fruity” last night while watching the madness, had with some very dry cheese and salty kettle crinkle cut chips (wow that’s a lot of adjectives) – good combo, average madness. Peace.

What what!!!! First comment here for ya.

Liked the short at home video, but felt kinda Blair Witchy.

QOTD: Finished up a Trumpeter Malbec, was alright. Also had a Coors Light. I’m working on getting it out of my friday.

damn i love this episode !
nice wine gary i have had that one. alot of times i will let my bottles sit in the fridge for a day or two after i pop em if i dont finish them with a friend or something. they open up alot. right now i have a 2004 Maison Galhaud grenache noir. great little vino 🙂

I have a bunch of winery samples open right now for potential projects. As I like to taste them against commercially popular brands, I also have a BV Coastal Zinfandel open as well. It is actually not bad. Certainly better than what Ravenswood is putting out at a slightly higher price point.

I like the short show.
QOTD: I am looking at a bottle of Trader Joe’s Blanc de blanc French Sparkling Wine Brut. Last night it was way too bitter almond with a washed out chardonnay taste. I left it open overnight and it was still quite frothy this morning (I took a swig from the bottle) and since it didn’t taste too bad I poured some in a glass, alongside my coffe-frothed milk drink for breakfast, and it was actually better than last night. Still, I will never purchase it again even for only $4.00. It might be OK in mimosas. I’ll go downstairs and try it now.

QOTD: The wine sitting in the decanter on the counter at our house is a 2001 Rodney Strong Cab(a gift from a few Easters ago) the wine before that was an ’05 ?? La Mozza Morellino di Scansano( a Bastianich wine). I liked the Cab better. Just my palate….Weekend wines will be an ’06 Justin Cab and a 1999 Kent Rasmussen Cab.

Hi Gary !

I am drinking a Nobilo Merlot 2005 From New Zealand. Not so bad for a everyday wine, its a pass 80 pts.

Nice little home show. Thanks 4 not leaving us out.

May God Bless u and your Family.

Good stuff, I loved the meats & pigeons bit.

QOTD: Currently drinking 2006 Buty Beast Cabernet…it’s really really good stuff.

Gotta agree with Sean. When do you actually swallow the wine? Spitting at home seems odd? Would love to see a Designated Driver Special Episode where Gary V. is in the house and has had a bit Too much to drink…
Qotd: Coffee, dark roast, way too much cream, even MORE sugar!

Hey Gary,

QOTD: drinking some Samuel Smith “Imperial Stout”(beer). From one of the oldest breweries in England. And I like it!

Hi Gary,

Love your show. Lot of the wines you have up there are not available here in Canada(Montréal, Qc)

Qotd: I had last night a Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2007 last night for my birthday with a bunch of friends watching the hockey game(habs won!!) I wasn’t that impressed. First time i had it. It think for a 30$ (can.) wine, it was a little bit predictable. Expected more. Was much more impressed a couple of weeks ago with a Mennetou-Salon From Max Roger. Right now, with lunch i’m having a domaine de Marquisat merlot 2006. Not bad for a Merlot pays d’Oc at 12$(again can.) Will probably have this week-end a Mercurey 2004 1er cru. Looking forward to that.
