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.

    Interesting still on a roll but a little more playful. Falanghina sounds like and excellant food wine but will it stand alone.

    QOTD: I think of paprika chicken and a good reisling with it. Macintosh,
    whenever I think of apples this variety comes to mind even though I live in Washington St.

  • Loved the episode, it reminded me of an F1 grid walk πŸ™‚

    So Mott has been branching out into the apple business?

    QOTD Chicken = drumsticks, apples = yuck.

    QOTD: Thinking (on both parts) that you had no idea for a QOTD and pulled that one out of your ass ;).

    Great show! Thanks for the intro to Falanghina.

    For those of us who have never been to Wine Library, you should do a tour of the place. Would be interesting to see the whole operation.

    So I have a problem. I’ve never had a Falanghina. I want to try it. But my wine fridge is totally full. I literally have bottles stacked on top of each other. How the heck am I supposed to keep up with all the stuff I want to try? Gary, please, I need your professional advice.

    Great show, BTW. Full little chicken & apple thing, especially since you found some apple in the wine, too. Nice to see Sasha hanging around.

    QOTD1: Pot pie. Homemade.

    QOTD2: Favorite flavor of all time. Calvados, Baby!

    Nice show. But, talking of Campania, why didn’t you mention the grape Fiano.
    Also very interesting.

    QOTD: Don’t like them together in a stew. The sane and Senior Vaynerchuk has very good taste in hats. When I go to France each summer I wear a similar hat. It is a wine hunters hat. Question back at yea? If you had to wear a hat on WLTV what would it be?

    Love these eps on the couch and having a little fun with the camera. Also, nice job keeping it informative with a new grape varietal. Joel

    QOTD: Chicken and Apples? Reminds me of Fried Chicken and Waffles.

  • ex-lurkdawg

    I guess you did have to get a little crazy with the laid back Friday episode. I thought it was a little much, but fun. I am glad you did a Falanghina. I agree that it is a severely underappreciated category, as are many Italian whites. What was really nice was that you actually liked the wine.

    qotd: soup, poor conditions on farms; sauce, orchards

    Those were the first things that came to mind; I guess I was in a product, source frame of mind.

    Excellent episode. Never heard of falanghina before but will definitely seek it out. Wonderful that there are wines out there of this quality at a $12 price.

    Question of the day ….. Chicken has to be Piri piri chicken I had on holiday in Lisbon with my partner and that we have been trying to reproduce ever since chez nous…
    Apples….has to be Calvados, my favourite digestive. And recently a braeburn apple ice cider from Kelowna, Okanagen, British Columbia. Amazing complexity has to be tasted to be believed.

    After watching over 500 episodes, I finally saw an opportunity you didn’t take and I’m disappointed. You had the MOTT apple slices and didn’t try them. What a great chance for a Falanghina/Apple pairing.

    Oh well, can’t nail them all~

    Great show. Loved the backstage pass to your wine biz. Kudos to Mott for grabbing the camera so quickly. He’s a pro. Now when you say chicken I think of raw chicken in the fridge. Thanks for that. Apples make me think of fall. Bye for now. I’m off to find this fabu wine.

    Gary,

    Great Episode, Loved the Chicken and Apples. Was sweet to see you take the show on the road. When are you going to setup some webcams for a virtual tour.

    QOTD:
    When I hear chicken. I think of backyard BBQ with Friends
    Apples remind me of eating healthy.

    Look forward to trying the 2008, Ocone Falanghina Taburno
    Going to go to my local Wine Store to see if they have it and if not I will have them order it.

    Thanks again and keep pumping out the content.
    Hope your family is well.
