QOTD:
Beer. Drinking cheap Taiwan Beer (yes, that’s actually the name. it’s government brewed beer) on the porch with my brother while we travelled in Taiwan. Big beer fan now, and always trying to expand my palette with new drinks.

Gary, straight up, this was the best two parter, and in the top 10 episodes of WLTV! I learned a ton about Sake and i can’t wait to get out there and expand my palate with Sake! Thanks GV you and Beau rocked it!

QOTD: I knew i was passionate about wine before i even tasted my first bottle, and after this show i am going to get a passion for sake!

Comin’ outta the woodwark for this one G-Vaynz! Have to say, one of your greatest guests. I’ll be lookin’ for some good sake now!

Wow this a really informative and interesting episode, total war between two A.D.D. people(takes one to know one) but great nonetheless.

qotd, i think for wine it was slipstream shiraz from australia and beer was weyerbacher double simcoe ipa.

QOTD: My first glass of The Glenlivet.

Love the sake idea. I vote for more episodes of other spirits, as long as Gary learns to pronounce them.

easily my fave episode yet! great guest with so much passion oozing out of him. Finally I get to hear you pronounce Japanese words correctly.

QOTD: for wines it was the time I was in a small wine place in Barcelona and drank a glass of 2003 Abadal 3.9 that did it for me. I kept staring at the glass after each sip.

Great geust and a really enjoyable episode to watch eventhough I know nothing about sake and have only ever had bad sake that tasted like paint thinner mixed with New Zealand Sauvignon blanc that someone left open on the counter for several months.

QOTD: I got into wine after drinking a Nebbiolo D’Alba in a second floor trattoria in Torino while I was there during the ’06 Winter Olympics.

Holy F@#k!!!! This is why I love your show. Every once in a while there is an episode that inspires. That may have sounded cheesy; but, I literally went to a wine shop right after watching the show and picked up a few bottles of sake (I just spent $150) and had a little tasting for myself. I was that inspired to try Sake. As a first time sake drinker, all I could say is “WOW!” Thank you Gary. Thank You Beau.

QOTD: Having lived in Saint Helena (Napa Valley) my entire life I never appreciated living there. After I left to go to school in NYC and after being away for several months, coming back to the NV just made me realize how amazing it is. Driving through Napa, Yountville, Oakville, Rutherford and Saint Helena on highway 29 in late spring is just about one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen, despite having seen it every year prior to that. This experience was made even more amazing when I went to my first wine tasting at Quintessa (it was the first time I was in the NV as a 21-year-old).

Awesome episode! Thanks for such a wonderful guest.

QOTD: My first single malt scotch was that beverage. I do not remember the name to save my life! And I’ve tried going to the same bar to figure out this one, but hasn’t helped 🙁

QOTD: For me it was tasting Makers Mark bourbon. I had no idea that I could enjoy whiskey until I got away from JB and JD. That experience has since translated into similar experiences with other spirits, like gin. Sake is next.

This was probably one of the more entertaining and enlightening episodes in a long time. I loved Beau–the back and forth between you two was awesome. You really need to have him on again, perhaps even make him a regular like a once a month type deal or something.

This episode was fantastic, I’ve never tried sake before but am going to pick some up this week and try something new! As always, the passionate detailing and commentary in the videos definitely makes me want to try whatever you’re talking about 😉

Wow, I learned alot and I mean alot. Good job!!!!!! You guys and Im not jealouse eventhough I wish I were either one of you. You need to hook up and go for the gold. You guys were great together. Keep doing what your doing and so should he. Beacuse you are both masters in each of your skills. But in a part time play you should work together.
wineisbetterthanschlitzdeangeles!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets go EAGLES

Third or fourth time that I had baby mice fermented in gasoline- June dreaming, I woke up and looked into the face of someone I love. Out of bed, into her breakfast; a bottle, morels, and buttered bread enjoyed that fresh clear light of morning. Then I woke up again, with the forest clearing the dirty laundry off the floor of my feral nightmare-shanty; somehow some cat was batting at my eyes and I awoke to the hair of the dog that bit me and the tail coming with it. My epiphany was forgotten. There was a time, seeming like so long ago- I really saw the clear night sky. Actually lying on the ground to see just how many big-little lights were out there: quite humbling.

Beau, you can do names, it’s: J Crazy, aka Justin Renard.

And Matt Sitomer helping out with the emails and, of course, Beau and Gary.

Thank you guys for helping to put together an awesome show!!

Cheers!

That’s WAshington STate

Thank you, guys, for bringing me awareness and enough knowledge and understanding to now find out for myself what sake is all about. Beau, take Gary’s lead on communicating with the masses. I will be sitting in front of my monitor taking notes like the nerdy nerd that I am.

Gary, as Beau would say “Good Call” on the Tea play. As you know (refer to the top) I’m in the Seattle area, or as some peeps would say, “Coffee Central.” We have a meeting every morning to discuss the days activity. Four out of the five of us now drink four different kind of teas; IN SEATTLE! And the cost of tea is especially attractive in this economic environment we now live.

Great job guys!

Well done guys,

A moment of awarness for me. I have never tried Sake so now I’m on mission. I’m wondering what the general price spread is for Sake. Is there such a thing as a $10 bottle of Sake.

QOTD: Pampero Anivarsio Rum

This show and the Jim Cramer show have to be my two favorite. Talk about an overflowing passion bucket!

I’ve tried many different wines because of Wine Library TV, and I am really eager to try a few sakes.

“pole raming”, “cream in your nose”??? That was one funny/ informative episode. Well done!!

QOTD: Ben Marco, Espresivo 2006 Argentina. Changed me forever!

Beau! It’s time you chimed in on these comments. You’re getting a lot of love here. We want to know you’re reading them. I will visit you in The City.

I love that Episode. Especially how much you love Beau. Never tried sake before. I’ll definitely give it a shot now!

QOTD: About three years ago i started really tasting new stuff. I figured out, that there are so many great flavours out there to discover. So, i still can’t tell some single taste i’m that passionate about. But i think if you really deal with great meals and drinks, life just gets so much greater. So my new passion is to try differnt things.

Great episode with two very genuine individuals sharing their passion — love it! I’m travelling to Japan in a few weeks with the fam and will explore this fascinating drink.

QOTD: I’m setting in my Taiwanese in-laws living room sipping on high mountain tea from Alishan at the moment. Gary I’m a big wine enthusiast from the states and I’m finding so many complexities in tea right now that it blows my mind. I’ll probably drive through the Taiwanese mountain towns and do some tea tasting next week. Hope your predictions are right. BTW, Alex F, Taiwan Gold Medal beer is a great brew and cheap. Just don’t drink it out of a can.

Nice show gary & Beau,

GV I think Beau had your measure in this two parter…He looks to be very experienced in SAKE as you are in Wine…This was a really educational ep.I would rate that in my top 10 eps ever – from an educational point of view.

Great Episode, I am totally going to get into sake now! You guys had great chemistry and your passions certainly fed off of each other. I think you should do a thunder show where you drink a bunch of different alcohols and get drunk on camera, call it the Drunk Under the Thunder show! QOTD My first wow moment was tasting a sauterenes at a formal french wine tasting.
