90/100

line of the day – ‘let’s call a spade a spade, this wine is boring…this wine is a boring ass wine’

Always love it when GV rips into a wine he doesn’t like and there’s no holding back here. The attack monster is back in the hissie!

    Great to see you back, Gary!

    I have been thinking about trying the Nobilo. Even though you somewhat panned it, I’m still going to try it.

    Awesome to see the Chilean Sauv Blanc pull through.

    One thing – you have worn the same pink stripe shirt for like 8 of the past 10-12 episodes, dating back to the TimF. show.

  • Never left a comment before, and been watch your show since episode 150. It’s great to see you back in the saddle again. If you’re looking for something to watch, The Last Dragon. Great old school comedy/action.

    Its good to have you back in the seat Gary.
    QOTD: “Dont mess with the Zohan”……but my wife hated it.

  • Tom Jones

    If you have not seen them rent the Firefly series by Joss Whedon. It was one of the best shows on TV and the stupid execs canceled it in the first 12 episodes. It is awesome!

    QOTD: The original Bad News Bears movie!

    PA carries the Nobilo Icon. They just lowered the price (to $10.79) and made it a close-out item. Why? The regular Nobilo Sauv Blanc is on sale in PA for $10.99 June 1-28. Then it goes back to regular price, $12.99. It flies off of the shelf. Fast mover.

    I’ll try the simone for 6 bucks for sure . will be stopping by the store when I visit the rents in S. Orange next week.

    QOTD – do not, i repeat, do not accidentally watch gone, baby, gone. My wife and I watched it like six months ago (we have an infant and a 3 year old). Not enjoyable when you have young kids. glad to see you’re doing well…secretly waiting to see more fatigue in your eyes. Maybe you’ll get lucky, or maybe you can afford a live in ; )

  • Good to have you back Gary!

    I kinda wish this was a blind tasting…but I love it when you slam highly rated wines!

    Yo G Man,

    What did you rate the Simone, looked like 90 from your expressions, not like the “picnic Bird” Fandazzle

    I second the vote for “Planet Earth” and would also recommend “Taken”.

  • Tom Mok

    QOTD: There were two movies that I enjoyed the most in the last 8 weeks. One was Body of Lies (2008), with Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, and directed by Ridley Scott. This movie was unexpectedly good, and showed a side of DiCaprio far different from that in The Titanic. The second movie that I enjoyed a lot was Slumdog Millionaire, which probably required no introduction. Other than these two, may I also recommend The Kite Runner, Australia, Milk, Changeling, and Frozen River. These are all very decent movies. Right now, I have The Wrestler and Marley & Me at home, and if I weren’t watching WLTV, responding to this QOTD, and trying to figure out what wines I want to buy today, I would be watching one of these movies already.

    Keep up the good works.

  • AWESOME to see the office behind you. Love the hospital tag. Let’s see that bad boy make it a full year.

    Got on a little Michael Mann kick…Love the cinematography on two strong flicks to watch again or for first time:

    1. Heat

    2. The Insider

    And then…

    Dodgeball (great to watch multiple times)

    And then of course this funny ass short about an Obsessed Meter Man

    Good to see you back. Cograts on your baby girl. Big ups. Good stuff on today’s tasting. I am learning to be a Court of Master Sommelier. I passed the Intro course and now taking the intro or ABC’s of wine course by the Spectator. So I am re-tasting my whites. You gave me some good info on the Nobilo SB. I cant wait to smell the big big grass. Because I don’t smoke it no more. I’d rather do the Sniffy Sniff then the smokey smoke. Peace and Best Wishes.

    It is so very good for your return.

    Just tried the Nobilo 2008 Icon Sauvignon Blanc. Really enjoy it but I am a huge fan of the New Zealand style SB. Will look for the Simone SB and give it a try as well as the Tolosa Chardonnay. But I really do not like oaked Chardonnay’s.

    I will continue to remember your new family in my prayers. Your daughter is almost as cute as my grandson, Agustus. Who knows, they may get together some day, and I think that would be so cool.

  • */^_^*

    haha::: are you serious?? are you SERIOUS??!! (this is funny bc my friend has this exact same expression but he uses it often for dramatic effect)

    QOTD: 8 1/2 is now available via netflix instant viewing. absolute must-see cinema.

    QOTD: Best wine? and/or best movie? I’ll answer both. Best wine- Breggo Cellars Pinot Noir 2007 Anderson Valley. Not too bad a mark-up at Pluckemin Inn.

    Movie–That Darn Cat–the original with Hayley Mills. Not a movie but the new Showtime Series starring Edie Falco, “Nurse Jackie”.

    Uh oh…I just picked up a 6 pack of Pinot Noir from WL that had a big score from WE. I didn’t necessarily buy it because of the score, but it certainly didn’t hurt my decision making.

    QOTD: I liked: Milk. Sean Penn was Harvey Milk, period.

  • PJ

    QOTD: Home by Yann Arthus-Bertrand.

    Gary – you seemed the like the Chilean Sauv Blanc better than the New Zealand one, however, you rated the Simone one point higher… I’m curious to know if that score was because you were excited about the QPR of the Simone in comparison to the New Zealand even though you really like the 2nd one better. I’m interested to hear a clarification!!!

    QOTD: It’s been a while since I’ve rented a good movie from home. I caught a movie on HBO Demand called “The Invasion” with Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, don’t waste your time on that one…

    Task of the Day: It may be a while before I accept your challenge. I really have NOT been enjoying Chardonnays (especially from CA)
