line of the day – ‘no one is going to roll up on you, cut your tongue with a switchblade and you’re gonna be happy about it. In this instance, I am.’

Crazy, walk around episode featuring the full cast of the Wine Library, AND a packet of Mott’s apple slices. Fun.

    Love some laid back Friday!!!!!!!!!
    Great format

    what i thin of is 702, that could well be one of the greatest moments on the show
    keep up the great work.

  • Love this episode, good wrap up to a Friday. Nice “adventure” out of the office, I thought that was a nice, unplanned touch. Would love to see more episodes with a little bit of that, and I’ll definitely try to look out for that variety of wine.

  • I liked this episode very much. Now I have to go look for Faranghina because it sounds like exactly the type of white wine I like. I also liked the little bit of controversy.

    QOTD – when you say chicken I take it as a challenge

    When you say apple I think big.

  • MAN I laughed so hard on this one, I hope I didn’t wake anyone up!

    QOTD: I hate word association games.

    Never heard of this wine or region, but I may have to find it. Apples is Mott of course. Chicken reminds me of something good to eat.

  • Really enjoyed the Fox News-esque ambush “journalism” element of the show. Suggestion: give us a hand-held cam (by Mott, please) tour of Wine Library, from the filling station across the street, through the front doors, into the inner sanctum of your wine lovers holy grail. Poise your dad and others to enliven the walk through cinéma vérité visit. It will enchant your audience. It will boost sales. It is the right thing for you to do. Do it. Soon.

  • Really good episode and looks like you finally have your Mojo back.
    Really nice when you concentrate on one wine and give a comprehensive background to the grape and surrounding area area.
    A+
    Answer: Chicken makes me think of White Burgundy
    Answer 2: Apples make me think of Cider

    QOTD 1: Kentucky-Fried QOTD 2: An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

    But not chicken and apples together. Usually Pork with apples or applesauce. That would be Mott’s applesauce and a nice Riesling.

    Gary! Great show. I loved the little sojourn into Wine Library. Also, I have never heard of this kind of wine before. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    QOTD1: I’ve had fried chicken at least once a day for the last week. Now the very thought of it makes me nauseous.

    QOTD2: I love Granny Smith apples, which explains my love of Chablis and Blanc de Blancs Champagne!

    GV-

    Sweet, sweet episode. I like it when you’re all hopped up. Haven’t seen this level of excitement from you in a while. Keep bringin it.

    Hey Gary

    I couldn’t help but notice the little eyebrow twitch after you said “mediterranean sea”…is this a bit of foreshadowing for the new Thunder Cruise? 🙂

    QOTD:
    Chicken: “Beer-In-The-Butt Chicken” – First meal I cooked on the BBQ for my now fiance (what can I say, I’m a romantic!).

    Apples We did a fundraiser and went into schools to teach kids about healthy eating and being active. One trivia question we asked them was: “How many different varieties of apples are grown throughout the world?” Can you guess…

    …7500!!!!
