    GV–

    Solid show…surprised to see all of those people working for VaynerMedia–looks like a lot more than the Vaynerchuks now…

    QOTD: For music definitely The Verve and Kings of Leon (who happen to be one of the best bands around today). For TV I’d say Entourage and The Wire (on DVD). And for Film, I’d recommend you find The Visitor on DVD (2008 release) and I think you’d appreciate the immigration aspect of it.

    Take care Gary.

    Gary,
    I gotta say that this episode was pretty exciting. I was just searching Wine Library the other day hoping for some information on the Pic St Loup and here is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

    QOTD I just finished mixing the the new Proximity Effect record. It Rocks!

    T.V. I don’t have one.

    QOTD: Movies – really liked “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Wanna see “The Stoning of Soraya M” and looking forward to “Funny People.” TV – Law & Order re-runs, The Dog Whisperer (that guy’s great), thinking about Netflixing all seasons of “The Wire” again. Music – Really like the new DMB and what I’ve heard of the Silversun Pickups.

    Thanks for exploring Pic St. Loup. I had Chateau de Lancyre 05 vielles vignes not too long ago but was a bit disappointed. Too monolithic for my palate but maybe too young. Keep working on pronunciation of the French. Domaine de l’Hortus en français would be quite a bit different than your version. Check it out with some French buddies, your show deserves to be taken more seriously by serious drinkers and correct pronunciation will help.
    I’m watching the Tour de France and pulling for Lance. I listen to tangos by Astor Piazzolla. You talk about “real” wine, that’s some “real” music. Muerte del Angel is one of my favorites of A. Piazzolla.

    I hope to try this type of wine. Just got home from Just for Laughs Film Festival in Montreal. Saw a great new movie by Bobcat Braithwaite starring Robin Williams, World’s Best Dad. The show was my nightcap. Thanks.

    Music: Lelia Broussard -http://www.myspace.com/leliabroussard

    Movie(this changes weekly): Sideways! Gets funnier the older I get. Planes Trains Automobiles and anything with Seth Rogen lately. Or more to the point, watching people try to imitate a seth rogen movie character – double dutch rudder anyone?!?

    Wow Gary, hope I get to try the 05 hortus someday. As for music, my faves are 311, Cowboy Mouth, and Incubus. My fave movie is Sideways, not just because it’s about wine. It’s just a fun movie. My fave TV is to watch HD programs like National Geographic and Discovery. I also love Zane Lamprey on Three Sheets.
