QOTD: lay out in the park with a book and some sunglasses so I can ogle.

Gary,

QOTD- I lay on my couch in my underwear with a fan pointed at my on hi. In the afternoon after sweating for hours I get some cold ass beer into me!!

PS- Crozes-Hermintage is good but much much cheaper and still shows that N.Rhone.

Hi Gary,

I really enjoyed watching this show from your balcony, because it gives me a glimpse of big-city life. It looked beautiful there today. How about showing us the view of the city that you have there?

QOTD: The trouble with Arizona is that it’s never 95-degrees here in the summer, except maybe at around 4 am. It’s been around 110 degrees all summer, and I am damned tired of it. But like you say, football season is drawing near. The fall [and spring] weather here is unbelievably beautiful. This time of year, it’s the swimming pool and cold beer that get’s me through.

You should visit AZ in the fall — 85 degrees and low humidity. Unreal.

Mike

QOTD: Usually in the A/C wishing for the call to get on a boat & float.

…remember that nice weather when you’re in Houston next month when it’s 95 degrees and 90% humidity…

Gv-
You are spot on with the Cali Cab comment. Here in Yuma, AZ we are way behind when it comes to wine education. I’ve actually turned a lot of people on to a Gigondas I did on a tasting after watching episodes 505 & 678. Keep the knowledge flowing!

QOTD- When it’s 118 here in AZ I’m wishing I was in NYC with 95 degrees

Run and see how long it takes before i sweat out.

Rocking it out, Gary! Nice show. I’m anxiously waiting to know about the Crush It Cruise, although I don’t think we’ll be able to go, which is sad because Concepción’s birthday’s on that week. We’ll see.

Great episode! Because I am from Carmel, on those rare 95 degree days, I like to stay cool, pour on the sunscreen, drink a lot of H2O, and drink some chilled chardonnay from the Santa Cruz mountains.

QOTD: I cut grass and trim hedges and have a very nice sweat.

Then I sit back and enjoy a 2006 Von Schleinitz Weisenberg Spatlese Riesling.

I keep buying and drinking this wine every week – I’d be interested to know if you’ve had it and what your thoughts are on it.

Nice show – Rhone’s Rock!

95 degrees! Really GV. In Dallas that means a cold front has moved in!!!

Great episode, I love hermitage, never had such a mature one! will give it a go.

QOTD: This is England my friend… we get such temperatures once a year… as we say, the rest of the world has a climate and England has a weather

Always enjoy a little quickie, one-wine flipcam episode from the GV Manhattan homestead.

QOTD: Hot summer day = reading a script or book in the shade with a coffee-related beverage outside of Peet’s Coffee on Larchmont in LA (while wishing I knew someone in the city with a pool…)

hahaha. i love it when you yell at the wines!

QOTD: apparently i have nothing better to do than to watch you.

hey big G just want to say I love the show a metric crap ton! I have been watching since…I have been watching for a while! I am also one of your biggest lurkers.

QOTD taking a good walk with ether my Dad or best friends.

I will link up some of my friends better halves. My buds don’t seem to be into the wine enuff to watch yor wild ass. I’ve tried. I’d like to spread some music thunder. KPIG.com for some real edumucated american music. First in the world of internet music, and the best. FREE!!!! 25 years or more of bringing the thunder!

Ok, maybe only 20 years of great country/rock/truckdriving music for free kpig.com

I’ll go out into the sunshine for a couple of hours then spend the rest of the times indoors, I’ve learned from bitter experience what happens when I spend too much time in the sun 🙂

Hermitage, Yes, that’s one really good play. Have just bought a couple of Chapotier Monier de la Sizeranne 1999 to drink on upcoming birthdays.
I’m following you advice to expand my palate, trying everything I can get hold of, from Romania to Peru, Germany to South Africa.

QOTD: Hot summer days I place my butt on my terrace, uncork a red wine and just enjoy the sunshine and wine.

QOTD: On a hot day like today, depends if it is the weekend or a week day but I am always looking for something to do when I’m not working, be it leisure, culture, play, fun or downtime.

Hermitage is very serious wine I agree. (…and a brand that I have locally available which is nice.)

Gary, good show. I must go back to my previous comments about your father being the only guest that brings the quality of the show up. I really like you home episodes, you seem energetic but focused the Shafer and another bd episode were great.

A suggestion to go back to Aglianico. It has been over 2 years since the grape has been featured. I think they bring a lot of value to the table and should be in everyone’s cellar, at least once. The last bottle I had was the Feudi di San Gergorio.

QOTD: In Buffalo NY, we just sit in the sun.

Gary,
I have been watching your show for about a year.
I love your enthusiasm. Its great to see someone as passionate about wine as I am (There aren’t that many people who would get that excited about drinking red wine on a steamy outdoor NYC terrace when it is 95 degrees).
I will continue to watch. We’ll both continue to drink.
By the way, I just had a great 2007 Seghesio zin (Rockpile vineyard) last night.
Great delicious wine. Something tells me that the hype about 2007 California wines may be justified. I guess I will wait to hear what you think.

actually hit the pool for the first time this summer!! (How sad is that?)

Gary V…nice show and loving the variety you’re bringing to the table.

QOTD – on the tennis court smacking the $%#% out of the ball. Pre knee debacle I saw you were playing a bit. When you’re 100%…BRING IT!!!

Gary – great show! I’m here at George Washington University in DC. Come visit the nation’s capital!

Thanks for the Ermitage information GV. I shall see if I can score a bottle for the wife’s B-D next weekend.

AotD: Skinny dipping in the Conowingo Creek. Then sipping some Reisling.
