What an awesomely early show! The Sheik looks like he means buisness……now on to the show.

Awesome show, I’m definetly going to have to check out that Francois.

QOTD: It was scorching hot this weekend here in Cali so we stuck with nice chilled German Rieslings. I have a Malbec from Mendoza that I will be sippin on tonight… been on a Malbec kick lately!

wow.. white burgs for summer! Nice choice.

I tasted my first Santenay-Maladiere in 1967, a wine by Domaine G. Prieur imported by Monsieur Henri Wines Ltd, N.Y. N.Y..

Never really got to taste many more, choice was not great the southern part of NJ in the late 70’s and early 80’s.

Also I started my education in CA wine at the period, only going to old world for German Mosels and classed French Red at good prices ($24.00 for 1964 Latour),, never see that bargin again)

QOTD: Coors Original “The Banquet Beer”.

Side Note:

If you want to nerd it up for me it would be dealing w/ a show that delves into German Rieslings. Really break down the differences between Auslese, Spatlese, Kabinet, etc…

Love the nerdy shows!

qotd.. water all the way. expect in the morning, oj and coffee, folgers I believe

Kreydenweiss Kritt/Charmes Pinot Blanc 2005 .. excellent.
Also don’t count out the Bruno Colin. Those wines are not really meant to drink so young. so may come around.. again may not.

Gary, that wasn’t a fumble it was a pass.. Forward motion Gary! The Brady rule!
QOTD: Friday night (wedding): Ketel One and OJ. Anstel light Beer.

Sunday night: Played golf and then Dinner at the club: Firefly’s vodka on the rocks, and then a glass of Bridlewood Syrah.

I think I drank a lot of different things with weekend. Lot of different things.

Great show gary i was caught off guard by how early it was but WLTV is great anytime of the day.

QOTD: I was in Maine over the weekend and I got to tour the Shipyard Brewery it was a blast and I got to sample the beers they brew there my favorite was the chamberlain Pale Ale. Also learned that they do a bunch of contract brewing which was a bit surprising.

GV –

I went and saw Jimmy Buffett over the weekend so if I remember correctly I drank the following:

1.) Coors Light
2.) Land Shark Lager
3.) Boone’s Sparkling Sherry (on the ice luge)
4.) Green Grenades (on the ice luge)
5.) Jello Shots of assorted flavors
6.) Bud Light
7.) Corona Light
8.) Sex on the Beach
9.) Pinapple soaked Rum
10.) Water

Eeeeek! I guess it’s like Jimmy said we’ve all got an awful lot to drink about!

I like nerdy, I like guests, I like 2.0, I like not doing the same ole thing, keep it up!

QOTD: 2004 Woot Monkey Wine, I think I liked it more than a couple years ago. Plus a couple of mediocre long island ice teas (mediocrity courtesy of myself).

Nice way to start off the week.

QOTD: Was finally able to open up my wife’s B-day wines which were:

2006 Cayuse Syrah Cailloux Vineyard
2006 Owen Roe Cabernet Sauvignon DuBrul Vineyard

Hey Gary great show, this is my first time leave a comment I am ashamed to admit. I love the nerd shows! I do really enjoy some of the guests like your Father, Daniel, Jancis Robinson, Master Sommelier Hendrik Thoma from Germany, your buddy from Digg.com and Daniel Schuster. Congrats on the addition to your family, and keep bringing the Thunder!

QOTD: 2007 J. Lohr Estates Riverstone Chardonnay; 2007 Bogle Petite Sirah and 2007 Root:1 Cab

QOTD: Lots of wine was had this Recital Weekend along with our Annual Commencement Dinner for our Music School. We brought our own wine in to the restaurant. Vie Di Romans Fleur di Uis, some inky, teeth-staining Peachy Canyon Petite Sirah, Reininger Helix Merlot, Charles Smith Red Devil Merlot, Kent Rasmussen Pinot Noir, Bracco Brunello di Montalcino, Bussola Amarone and a 2000 DellaForce Port–kind of like a mini-tasting.

Gary, this morning the Today Show had a segment on grilling. One of the items was Mussels and Pine Needles which might interest you.

My Statement of the Day. I opened some 2000 Puligny-Montrachet and it tasted like it was past it’s prime. I also opened an ’02 which was much better. Luckily I only have a handful of older whites cellared which I will drink soon. What’s your recommendation on cellaring white wines?
