Gary,

You front the capital and we’ll move to the Anderson Valley and make that bubbly happen for you!

QOTD. Mud pie.

Gary, I totally appreciated your comments on the b.s. of wine scoring! I for one wish that you would taste all of your flights side by side like you did today. (And blind would be even more brazen.) Voluptuous fruit bombshells are nice until you put them next to subtle sophistication. I didn’t taste the wines of course, but from your comments I bet you twenty bones that with dinner you would have had more of Claudia.

qotd: Dolce de leche or vanilla bean with hot caramel or hot fudge.
Thanks for the head up about Anderson Valley. I’ll make it part of my road trip.

qotd: After Dinner for me its Black Tea w/ Cream (10% to 18% MF) with Sweets more of the Chocolate Side. But I love my Rhubarb. No savory aspects for me.

qtod: strawberry cheesecake like the DQ blizzard. Tho I had some Vanilla with chocolate/peanut butter cups almost like a recess pieces play.

Thanks Gary

QOTD: hard question – mango? green tea? chocolate? rum n rasion? peppermint choc chip?

Cheers
Andrew

So Misha is sleeping so you’re relegated to the balcony? Funny

You’re right, “This is a good show today” while I’m sitting out on the deck having one of your #crushit wines, the 6 bones Simone. Really nice.

Now, first things first. You ruffled a couple of my feathers if you think the Claudia Springs and Black Kite are worthy opponents to their northern brethren from Oregon. If it doesn’t have the words “Sea” or “Smoke” or even “Kosta” or “Browne” then most CA pinots won’t match Oregon. OK, I said it. Keep touting Anderson and by the way, Napa is hardly “Disneyworld.”

QOTD #1: Forgot the question
QOTD #2: Marscapone gelato (I know it’s not ice cream but I love it)

Cheers!

P.S. Two occasions of profanity? That’s right, you’re drinking CA pinot! 🙂

QOTD #3: Penguins, Lakers, Red Sox and Colts are all champions in ’09

You mentioned Oregon. Check out Argyle or Domaine Meriwether. Their sparklers do rip face and at quite pleasing price points.

the ? of the day should have been who’s going to win game 7 of the stanly cup final. Go redwings

Wine-jedi episode. Cracks me up! Keep it going on the balcony. It’s fun.

Q1: Tonight i hit the pretzels after dessert. extra dark utz. smoky.

Q2: Red fruit….i mean….breyers cherry vanilla =P

Mint Chocolate Chip….great show…nice view!

Sour definitely rules! Nothing better than to clime into a neighbors fruit tree and eat some almost ripe fruit. Ice cream? Hazel nut is the best, hard to find on this side of the Atlantic.

great shows gary!

Q2 – when talking of ‘favorites’ of anything food related, it’s tough. i go back to what makes me smile or has some memory associated with it. When i was growing up, my parents would schlep my sister and i to an ice cream parlor that made their ice creams on premise every sunday, i always got a chocolate chip waffle cone. what i remember of the tasty frozen treat was the extra creamy texture and the big chocolate chips.

so when i have a choice now, i go for chocolate chip if they have those big chocolate chips. otherwise, give me something unique.

cheers!

hey gv, nice view! ok, qotd 1 is easy , after dessert i crave something with some crunch, texture, maybe some pretzels, maybe it is the salt + crunch… hmmm. and qotd 2 is anything that is rich and creamy, really really high end ice cream, maybe haagen daz, but im think more ice cream from daniel or jean george. yes, that intense, then bring on the pretzels. ttyl, still rocking the comments. thanks bill

Gary, you definitely inspired me to go looking for an Anderson Valley Pinot.

The number of comments here on WLTV site are down, but I really think it’s because people are hitting you up other places with their thoughts on shows. I know I for one have thrown some tweets your way when I had something to say about an episode.

Thanks for keeping up the good work, we appreciate it.

Still trying to get some Wisconsin wine your way as soon as I stop telling UPS what’s really in the box…

Marble Fudge!
Hey, please let us know when you’re heading to Anderson Valley. Navarro is one of my favorites and I’ve got some notes on other interesting possibilites.
Love to meet up with you, compare notes and sample wines. : )

Absolutely love anderson valley pinots. Londer is amazing.

I love everything about Anderson Valley. Just spent last weekend up there camping and wine tasting. The wineries and tasting rooms have awesome people, lots of the winemakers pour and talk to you about the wine. We go to Claudia Springs everytime I make it up there. The are soooo friendly, in Feb. the owner opened up a ’98 Zin just because my friend was asking how long she should age her wine. He excused himself for a minute and came back with a bottle. It was a wonderful part to the greatest day.

QOTD-Espresso Chip and good old chocolate

QOTD: i agree. I need the Ying to enjoy the Yang.

QOTD2: Ice Cream? hmm, don’t like it much. when I do eat it – it’s the old cheap chocolate, nearly melted.

Thanks 🙂

QOTD: Chocolate peanut butter. But it’s got to be really good chocolate mixed with some top-notch smooth peanut butter.

haagen daaz Five Brand Mint……with homemade blueberry saucey sauce

If the Mean Old Forum Members promise to behave, can we have our forums back?

QOTD: Dairy Queen Oreo Cookie Blizzard

Good episode. Nice to see some fun in the sun (sort of).

Also, does anyone have suggestions for vineyard tours near Cape Town, South Africa? I’m planning a trip there next summer, and would love some ideas!

Can we have the forums back?… we will play nicer

QOTD: yes and not – again it depends on the mood. I do love very tart (citrus) deserts every one and a while. I really can’t do overly sweet, makes my teeth curl

QOTD2: too many to choose and it defends on my mood
