QOTD: I attended NYU for a while…Good Times…but the truth is, Life is the best Teacher! Im a student of the world.. 🙂

Have a beautiful weekend!

Great Show. As a second generation Wolverine (Univ of Michigan) I was smiling a bit when MSU got thrashed. But despite the rivalry, I’ll be rooting for them this weekend. Michigan could use something to celebrate with everything else going down the toilet (with the Spartan Wine).

Are you going to do the California bio-dynamic show you mentioned in the episode with Joly?

QOTD:Shout out to Indiana State University and FullSail University

Question for you: 1) If you could only drink one bottle/style/vintage of Riesling(currently available) for the rest of your life…what would it be?

where is the north carolina wine? who form the final four is from washington

Man, that was one LEGIT show! Great energy on this great Friday episode, good to have you back in the Thunder Seat.
QOTD: Alma mater, Culinary Institute of America. Big ups to Prof. Weiss!

Gary..you rocked the house out in Veags a couple of nghts ago..”Ga,e Changer Ruthie…Gamechanger” had to be the quote of the night…keep bringing the thunder,

QOTD: Favorite University? University of Nebraska. In this household, “Go Big Red” has a double meaning!…..

I go to Western Washington Univ. But am from Illinois, so I’m a fan of the Illini, and I’ve spent a lot of time in Ohio, so I’m a big OSU fan. Weird, I know.

Great show with the blind college wines. I hope MSU does better this weekend. Hopefully they take their punishment tonight so they can get their one shining moment on Monday.

QOTD – Calvin College – 2 time D-3 basketball champs and also the Calvin/Hope rivalry is “The #1 college basketball rivalry” Check it out on ESPN

Good God in heaven, what do you think these wines are going to taste like? 🙂

QOTD: Probably Stanford.

QOTD: OU……so due to proximity this episode kinda hurt my feelings

(not really tho)

Gary,I don’t have a favorite college but Ohio State is the big one around here. But changing the subject I have a question for you. Do you think you resemble a young, sexy Gargamel from “The Smurfs”? Think about it.

Also the hubby and I are so excited for you and Lizzy, we can’t wait for the appearance of your baby! I will continue to pray for good health and happiness for everyone involved.

Great concept. Not surprised about the WA wines. I have a hard time finding any type of fruit or veggie that doesn’t kill from that soil. Try a Walla Walla onion.

QOTD: I went to Southern IL but wouldn’t say it’s my favorite College/Univ. I can’t give an answer because there’s so much variation, ie: sports, location, programs, Playboy models, etc. Final 4 picks: NC/CT. CT.

Also, just out of curiousity and because I really value your opinion on this subject: What are your thoughts on Jay Cutler and would you have liked to see him on the Jets and not the Bears?

Fun to watch college wines being evaluated.

I have to choose Southern Illinois University not just because I go there, but because I think it is overshadowed by the University of Illinois.

Go Salukis!

Love blind tastings!!

Could you please tell me where to buy that angry spray? It sounds fun to me.

QOTD: UofM in Mpls/St. Paul. Huge fan of theirs because they engineer hybrids between American and European wine grapes so that they can grow in the harsh climate of MN, but still produce a good wine. Frontenac, Frontenac Gris, La Crescent, and their new one Marquette, can all be made into very good wines. If I was just starting in college again, I would be all about taking ag classes there and working with the viticulture/enology departments. http://www.grapes.umn.edu/wine.html

When I first scrolled down to view the wines from the show to see “Spartan Cellars”, the first thought I had was “Wow! I didn’t know San Jose State made wine.”
I hate that there is another school with the same mascot as my California alma mater… I never root for wine to be bad, but I felt vindicated when the Michigan wine was the worst wine ever.
SJSU Spartans for life!

Hacksaw reference (nice . . . like vanilla ice). Can a wine taste like vanilla ice? If any wine was going to taste like ice, ice, baby, it would have to have been this episode. Love it when you’re all over the board with the taste descriptions. It inspires me to keep experimenting with my palate. I like to write down the first 5 that come to mind. Sometimes hard for me to get past 3 with confidence but it seems to help me become more discerning and I enjoy the smell / taste exercise. Go Denver Pioneers. Peace.

QOTD: IUP, The Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Proud alumni.

GARY, i’ve always loved your wine personification analogies…

I make electronic (house) music- and when im in deep i start thinking of the sounds in the same light; comparing them to kids I know in school (im 18) and like my friends parents fighting might be the kick drum and snare and then i add a hihat and thats the marriage councilor or something…

i’ve been watching since ep 145 and I seriously feel like I could get inside your head and destroy you.

thanks!!!

Great show Gary… love the blinds! I think you could do them every episode and I’d be happy.

Idea: What about a Double Blind that’s all over the place. Different varietals, price ranges and types (small specialty vineyards and bi grocery store brands). Would love to see that one.

QOTD: Go Cal… Golden Bears!

Great show.

QOTD… not my school, I’m still paying for it and will be for a long time.

WASHINGTON STATE…..REPRESENT!!!

Not too bad considering both of those are small(very small even)Community Colleges!

Just goes to show how blessed I am to live in Wine Heaven~~!

Bet your all Jealous!

Spray some anger, that was classic.
Thanks for the thunder.

Great show! I love how you integrate the daily happenings in life into your show (ie: wine on the plane, in your house, college wines for the final 4) This is why I love your show so much – this is how you show the passion and bring the thunder, and I love it.

QOTD: Rutgers University bc. it’s my alma mater and it is so under rated…seriously!
