Great show Gary! I love Chenin Blanc!!! So glad you did this…I’ll look for the Pinons.

QOTD: Love the Colts with Peyton!

First time commenter here.

QOTD: I’ve just developed an interest in sports as of recently. Mainly for the social aspect. I thoroughly enjoy the more “boring” sports like golf and tennis. I really like tennis.
But as far as my favorite team is concerned, I’d have to say Orlando Magic (basketball). Those are my boys!
I’ll be following the football more this season so hopefully I can find myself a team to support soon.

Hey Gary, Love your Show, I’ve almost watched every episode and must say i’m amaized about your passion!!! The only sad thing is, that there is no Wine Library here in Germany:(
Keep up the good work and maybe change the Burbury polo to a Jets jursey:)

upps, I meant Burberry.

qotd: Steaua Bucharest!!

Sweeeeeeet! I love lemon meringue pie, so chenin blanc is on my to-get list.
Thanks for helping me to broaden my horizons (expand my palate) guys!!!

AotD:
NFL = Kansas City Chiefs
MLB = New York Yankees
NBA = Houston Rockets
NHL = Chicago Blackhawks
NCAA = Penn State Nittany Lions
PGA = Phil Mikelson
FFL = Le Jacque Strapps

My preference for sports are hockey and basesball, but I know you are serious about football. When it comes to football, I have to go with the Vikings. I grew up in Minnesota during their best years and still wish them well. I don’t keep track of who plays for them anymore; although I know they don’t have a quarterback. Yeah we know they can always pull a defeat from the jaws of victory, but that is a Minnesota sports tradition.

Gary, you could tell that the deadpan took a ton of effort on your part to maintain. Once you stopped thinking about it and started focusing on the wines, garyvee came back. During the intro, I kept waiting for you to say, “just kidding”. Love it.

QOTD: New Orleans Saints Fan. Loveable Losers that I was raised on. Like the Jets without the rings…sigh.

Vouvray’s have excellent age ability if made well by a good producer, I have had some exellent Vouvrays dating back to the 80’s and not only from France but Califonia too. I appreciate your enthusiam and you trying older vintages.

Gary, Thanks for Vouvray/Pinon info….gotta try it!
True to my school….Clemson Tigers!!!! Hubbie loves Giants though (sorry…hehe..) He’s a Jersey guy, too…I love the passion of college football and you can afford to see a game or two….

So you want to pull out some lurkers? OK here I am!
I’ll look for a Pinon Vouvray tonight.

QOD – Red Wings – unfortunately living in Orlando means almost zero hockey coverage.

It use to be the Broncos for 23 years but Josh McDanials has destroyed them so now it’s hockey… The Charlestown Chiefs

QOTD: My favorite team is the wine library team! 😉

Excellent show – Vouvray (and good Chenin in general) are certainly up there as one of my favourite white wines (but, I must admit, my list is starting to get longer, damnit Gary! All this encouraging folks to expand our wine horizons and the like).

QOTD: Leafs fan. Born into it, of course (as most of us are for hockey in Canada), but I couldn’t change it if I wanted to (and I don’t). So, much like you, I haven’t been alive to see the last time my team won a Championship.

Wow, love the Vouvray episode, especially the dessert wine. Too bad it’s almost $60 bones. At that price, I’ll probably have to pass. Dessert wine is so tough on the pocket book. I’d love to see you try to find dessert wine bargains, sometime.

QOTD: If we’re talking pro teams, I have to go with the Seattle Mariners. That’s the first pro team in any sport I really cared about. College, gotta go with Duke Blue Devil basketball, especially the women. And, of course, I’ll take any team my kids are playing on. Go Blue Sharks!

Hey Gary,

My wife and I have been watching your show for the last few months, so you have two more fans. We live in PA, so, many of the wines you sample on the show are unavailable to us, and we must “taste vicariously? through you a lot of the time. You?ve really opened up our wine world, especially with getting us to REALLY smell and taste the wine. Our palettes are expanding.

Great show on the wines from Vouvray, can?t wait to try some. The merlot show was a lot of fun (maybe not for you). We had a similar experience with some Vinho Verde from Portugal. Picked up 6 bottles from different wine-makers for a tasting, and only 1 was drinkable. So, maybe not so much fun after all.

Almost finished reading 101 Wines. Have learned a lot and appreciate your efforts to change the wine world. Now if you could only change the PA wine laws!

Ciao,

Rudy

Not sure about Serious Gary, though this was a solid episode. I’m completely with you on Vouvrey. Lucky enough to have some good ones at a restaurant in Providence, though costing restaurant prices. You’re so right that it’s a wonderful just sit down and drink wine. Very enjoyable for me. Thanks.

QOTD: Any sport? Boston Red Sox.

QOTD: Redskins. Though I wish we could get a new owner. Sure you wanna buy the Jets?

Serious Gary: You are a sham sir. I saw Thunder Gary trying to break free several times. At around the 6 minute mark the wine got you too excited to keep this toned down mask on. Interacting with Mott got you to go so far as mentioning Hulk Hogan on the show. And of course the QOTD got you in a football mood and you almost fully reverted to Thunder Gary. Don’t lock Thunder Gary away. He’s more persuasive than Serious Gary because he’s more charismatic. In closing, some lyrics from one of my favorite bands, Steely Dan (not the Steelers, re: QOTD, they’re awful).

“We hear you’re leaving, that’s ok
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart

Gary don’t lose that Thunder
You don’t wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Gary don’t lose that Thunder
Its the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home”

QOTD: OU fan and alumnus.

if we are talking about the ‘beautiful’ form of football, then it is manchester united….

Whoa! Who are you and what have you done with the real Gary?

Robot Gary is boring. I need the original Gary back on my iTouch.

After all this time a must answer for QOTD: P A T S….. Got to love the soon to be 4 time Super Bowl Champs

Lower energy show, but good info. With you taping so many of thes on the same day maybe you’re getting a litte intra-day burnout?

QOTD: The Detroit Tigers, custodians of the “Olde English D” an unmistakable team logo. How many times have the Jet’s changed their logo?

PS–I think that GV just “played” all of us and was intentionally bland/boring to elicit more comments 😉
