hmmm. kind of a you scratch my back, I’ll scratch your back show (I saw the show you taped for the guest’s blog as well). The wine seemed more like a prop in this one Gary. Sorry, just a weird vibe for me.

QOTD – depends. anything from watching the sunset on our deck to lighting our hair on fire and rolling around in dry grass.

QOTD: A nice dinner, @ home or out, home for wine and conversation, maybe over a few hands of Quiddler or just reading and sipping. Now that I think about it, it’s been awhile since we had a date night… thanks for the timely reminder, guys!

QOTD: picnic+wine is always a good one. Nothing like a box of goodies, a shady tree, a bottle of white, and a nice companion.

also, gary, I wrote you an email about this but I thought i’d put it here too because there’s more of a chance you’ll see it. Give us a tour through your cellar for episode 700! but shhhh, make it a surprise!

As always, what a great and informative show. I liked the part . . . “wait, wait, Now! That is how you can tell the tannic structure, how it ‘may’ age . . . ”

The only drawback I see is our guest is really p-whipped. I’m guessing his SA is drop dead gorgeous and he’s afraid to lose her. 🙂

QOTD: I wish I had a lady who would take the time to appreciate a nice bottle of wine. Unfortunately, I’m “single” when it comes to wine consumption in da house and in other ways too but that’s for another forum. 🙂

Cheers to a great show, as always.

Awe! How much do I love Gary?!
lolol

Thank you Gary!
xo

Gary. You were preaching tonight. Loved it.

We like to get dressed up (Edie loves her high heels – she has 100s!) and have a nice dinner with a bottle of wine, then go to the coffee place and sip on a frappacino while we do a crossword. Great episode, we’d love to try both of those wines. We got started loving wine on NZ Sav Blancs.

Where’s the love for all the single ladies?!? But seriously, QOTD: you guys said it, good conversation. Comes before or with a bottle of wine.

Nice guest GV. and I agree on the Havens, it is spec-damn-tacular!
QOTD: the date starts with the wine, not ends with it in this house.

Fun time – I kind of like seeing some wines that you really like from time to time. Otherwise, Roger seems like a nice guy, but I’m not sure if he really added anything to the show.

QOTD – my girlfriend and I like going to new places and trying new restaurants. The process normally involves me taking way to much time to pick a wine, since we often bring our own wine (can have a $30 bottle for just the corkage fee – in the wine list, it would cost up to $75-90)

Nice show. What’s funny is that family is the KEY to any and ALL success you have in life. Without my family I’m toast…PERIOD!!

QOTD: Hanging on the couch, surprising the lovely wife with something that we did when we FIRST started dating. It’s the KEY TO LIFE!!

Does today’s guest live in a van down by the river?

That’s how I like to envision family counselors.

Got a problem Gary. My little wine storage unit is know full of wines that should age a few years! The 2005 Havens Bourriquot just took the last spot.I got a idea we will open it next Feb 20th when you come back to Sioux City and see how it is doing.

QOTD A nice bike ride talking spent talking with my wife.

Thanks for the good feedback & critiques, peeps. Gary is a real guy & very transparent about what he does/says. I didn’t have to get “clinical” at all to get him talking. Had a lot of fun doing the show.

Plug Time:
Watch Gary talk about how he & Lizzie make their relationship work around his HECTIC schedule:

SAM: when Gary said that I TOTALLY thought the same thing you did, LOL

Kind of a strange guest there Mr. V. We could have done without him and the “pizza” wine guest. However, you did a jolly fine job as usual. Again, thanks for doing this day after day. I sincerely appreciate the work you do and your show significantly helps me in the world of wine.

GV:
Nice to see the public connection come back to the show lately. I really enjoy seeing the fan base on the show. The teaching moment when you counted off the taste to recognize the tannins was excellent. Nice job. Where’s your phone?

QOTD: Dinner out…wine in….then…

Great show! Thank

i think a good idea for a show would be to demonstrate how the flavor in a bottle or glass can change over time. as in the way a bottle of pinto noir can evolve over an hour or two; or a more tannic bottle smouths out over a day or two; or the way a young bottle can have tannins become more pronounced as they overcome the fruit. thanx for your great work i always enjoy what you have to offer. you will be a great dad. david

hmm… is it me or did this show feel like a little less about wine?

QOTD: Depends on what mood we’re in- usually either go out to eat or we’ll stay in, I’ll cook a nice meal & we’ll snuggle up & watch a movie.

This guy thinks that talking too much and too fast will cover the fact that He has no palate.

QOTD: Date night is either a wine bar in DC (where I live) or Philly (where my girlfriend lives), or dinner with wine and movie. If we stay in and make dinner we’ll drink a bottle of wine too. Safe bet it will involve food and wine 🙂

Mott is certainly the Whitest guy!

Hey what do I bring going to dinner with the Goomah
