Ugh, that was tough to listen to with everyone talking in the background… Second day in a row it was a struggle to get through the show, which is a shame because there has been so much momentum recently! I’m sure you’ll follow this one up with some serious Thunder, you always do!!! Keep you the great work.

QOTD: #1-Pink, #2-Grape, #3-Orange. Agreed that Red is poop. Tastes like Robitussin, which is clearly not as delicious as DIMETAPP.

Root beer freezer pop

I enjoyed the episode yesterday more, crowd not as persistently talking, and 50 mintues of the same thing (slowly getting more drunk throng ended up being a bit much). That’s just my $.02.

Don’t drop these, keep them going and experimenting….anyone got a “shhhhhhhh” count between the two shows? I’ll put the over under at 85.

QOTD: blue razzzzzzzz

Felt like Saturday staff tastings at Bob’s!
I use to get so frustrated w/ the girls, but then I realized they were enjoying the moment & now I just talk & let them interrupt or talk between themselves – whatever – it’s all about the wine, not totally what I’m saying. I do still feel like I’m on a stopwatch though. Ten minutes. After that it disintegrates very quickly.
Pretty good show. I agree w/ the Novy rating—BUT—Adam Lee does makes some killer Syrahs. The general Napa appellation just isn’t his best effort. Try Susan’s Hill.

Hey GV,
we were so happy you came by and threw back some vino with us. I was also glad to see your enthusiasm and good nature in full force. thanks for sharing some Thunder in sunny SD!
BTW, I would really like to see you do a tasting on some wines from Mexico, I want to get your take on LA Cetto Don Luis Terra and other good showing stuff.

You where easier to hear this time but so where they. At least this time they where interacting with you some of the time instead of all being involved in their own side conversations.

QOTD: Blue without a doubt.

QOTD: Blue raspberry, of course (this is for all the Left Coast peeps who know & love Otter Pops)

Man, I wish you had done a live tasting at the Wine Bloggers Conference this past fall — you would have had our rapt attention (which you had for your talk, anyway). They were a bit rude, but you needed a dedicated microphone; would have helped cut out a lot of the background noise…

Razzles!

Density!

Freeze pops became otter pops.

I like the blue ones.

I didn’t even finish this episode. You were killing it, but, it seemed, they could care less. 75+ points

Gary! I would LOVE for you to come to my hometown of Mobile, Alabama – but I’m not sure the Deep South could handle your THUNDER 🙂 You wanna prove us wrong?

Good episode, I admit that I also found the noise hard to sit through but I think blaming the audience is a little harsh. A microphone would have made a big difference, no doubt.

QOTD: I grew up on Mr. Freeze brand. White and Peach were the best.

Big G, No, No, No on two things the Video #1. Please really? It was freaking not even watchable. #2 just like In & Out Burgers out west will always blow away White Castle. Otter Pops are way better than Ice Pops or whatever you did get in The Dirty. LOL!!!!!!

QOTD:Red of course

You just need a clip-on mic. to solve the sound problem.

QOTD: I think it is blue.. The sell Otter pops at Costco. I had never heard of them until I moved to California. I never saw them on the East Coast.

?????? Where was this taped? SDSU? At a Frat. Party? This was like College Humor gone wild. One of Wine Lib. video low-points, SSSSSSSSSSShhhhh!
QOTD: Liked Otter Pops 20+ yrs. ago, now I prefer real wine. Gives a better buzz.

The shush monster was there! Just can’t listen to the whole episode due to the crowd noise. Sorry, man.

My head hurts after that.

I agree with lots of others— can’t finish the video. A personal clip-on mic is the answer to this type of situation. Again you mention the root beer, so my QOTD to you gary——- when is the high grade root beer show? If you love it, DO IT!!! (please)

millions and millions of voices in my head.. does that make me crazy? No cause i just watched this episode. though i am interested in that janasse

QTOD: purple or red.

Eh, at least the audience was participating in this one rather than white noise….
QOTD: Blue & Green

QOTD: Red. Is that strawberry?

Que Syrah, Syrah ……

Less white wine noise? …… now I gotta drink this headache away.

You have patience my friend … you were like teaching a second grade class of rowdy kids hopped up on ritalin and juice boxes !!! SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

QOTD – CHERRY.

P.S.: SHUSH.

QOTD: No clue on actual name of flavor but definitely the blue ones.

I hope you didn’t use up your entire bag of shhhhhh trying to get the SD children to quiet down. You’re going to need some for raising your own child at home soon enough.

SIDE NOTE: Is it possible to raise your hand in SD without yelling? I find it hard to believe many in the audience could last two rounds deep in a simple game of “simon says”.

There, my rant is over. Peace.

oh boy… drunk people…

QOTD – orange!

Once again it seemed like the crowd was a group of drunken college kids. You were great. It must have taken some self control to not yell at the idiots who kept yelling “otter pops”. Thanks.

qotd: I also know it as flavor ice and I liked the orange.
