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.

  • 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.

  • QOTD: When you say Chicken I say Bob Dole (there is history there) | When you say Apples I say my Mom’s home made Pie

    I claim the chicken and apples btw. Love how the break room is more of a storage room. 😉

  • You truly are back to your “old form”; its great to see the ultra-high energy back.

    That quick mini tour was awesome, great fun and thanks for the mini-mini tour of the lunchroom and some of the other WL staff.

    QOTD Word association:
    CHICKEN: I think of a blank canvas that can take on just about any flavor it’s cooked with.
    APPLES: I think of fresh cider in the fall, and Fuji apples which I’ve been eating a lot of recently. I love the firm texture and mild “bite”; and for green apples it’s all Granny Smith for me.

  • QOTD(a)Chicken: Chickee-Chickee-Chickee!! (only one person in the world gets that one, and she’s sitting in the next room)

    QOTD(b)Apples: Mott!

    Fun show today! Really enjoyed the mix of bouncing off the walls and getting just a tad nerdy.

    Great episode!! The whole chicken/apple fiasco made me watch it several times.

    QOTD: Chicken – At first “little” came to my mind, but in seeing your dad I thought about episode #692 with his hawk/quail/pigeon story and had to watch/laugh at that again.

    Apple – First thought was martini. Never had one. It’s a girlie drink and they remind me or rosés and too manly to drink either of them.

    Yo G, You’re on the Rooooll!!! After scanning the Joint with the
    camera on the “chicken & apple” caper, looks like you guys housekeep
    like I do (or don’t)……. 🙂

    qotd1: Chicken – El Pocco Locco….

    qotd2: Apples – Red Delicious….

  • This is my 3rd comment on WLTV. I’ve been watching intermittently for the past couple of years.

    Two things I want to say.

    First thing. Croatia. Istria.
    Second thing. You need to take the camera out of the office more frequently. Shop floor. Staff offices. Car park. Local neighbourhood. Connecting a global audience with local identity is what Web video is all about.

    The whole fridge fiasco with the traveling camera outside the office was probably the funniest thing I’ve seen on the Thunder Show in a while! You couldn’t have planned that better if you wanted to! Good lord…

    QOTD 1: (Chicken): Herbs de Provence
    QOTD 2: (Apples): Fuji. I’ve been on a huge Fuji kick lately.

    Gary — I enjoyed the behind the scenes sneak peak action of Wine Library since I haven’t made the trip up from Washington, DC. I’m going to try to find a Falanghina this weekend to try.

    QOTD1: Chicken = Peruvian style rotisserie chicken, DELICIOUS.
    QOTD2: Apples = Pink Ladies

    BLUE MOHAWK.

    Gary, it was fun running into you outside Grand Central after the Mets game. My son Aidan had the Met’s-Blue Mohawk cut – big committment on his part, alas our sorry-ass Mets lost again. I fear they are doomed to fight it out with the Nationals for second-to-last place.

    Chicken – The San Diego Chicken
    Apple – The Mets “Big Apple” in centerfield (the gears are getting rusty from lack of use)

    Love the focus on Southern Italian wines, that are great deals, too, besides being delicious.

    When I think chicken and apples, now I think WLTV Episode 702!

    Loved the mini tour of the wine library office area. Maybe we should do a show with ‘behind the scenes’ of wine library. I bet a lot of viewers have never been there (like myself) however we do order online. A quick tour would be fun!

    Loved the dateline style investigation you need to do more of those.

    QOTD

    Chicken: The Chicken Dan
    Apple: Fresh Apple Pie

    On a side note, I think between my last two orders on Amazon.com my life is going to have tremendous amounts of Thunder when I receive them, what did I order you ask? Why I pre-ordered your book and I got the Three Wolf Moon Shirt. If you have any doubts about the Thunder that the Three Wolf Moon Shirt brings read the comments about it on Amazon.

  • Hey good call Gary !

    There are many intersting whites in Southern Italy great values too mst much better than the industrial Aussie and NZ whites people her in the UK seem to lap up ! Saying all that I’m sure you will agree the North East of Italy produces world class white wines that meet or beat the standards of Alsace and Germany !

  • QOTD: I immediately think chicken-apple sausages, on the grill, with a little mustard. Maybe with a sangiovese.

  • Nice tour or Wine Library – your wine shop looks almost as messy as mine!!!

    QOTD
    Chicken: playing silly games involving cars
    Apples: Halloween trick or treating & getting given apples by my next door neighbor instead of candy, so I played the trick on her anyway! My mum then made me go and apologise to her!
