  • Nice showing, very exciting.
    wow, checked out the map at Wikipedia:

    St. Joseph is way up there…thanks for pointing it out GV, you are the man…it’s on the search list now.

    coke/pepsi…have not had either in probably 15 years. I like the Knudsen’s sparkling juices, or artisan root beer.

    QOTD: sheesh, going to have to think on that one while driving home….that’s too good to snap off without thinking.

    I have to agree with vinoreviews about the glass. The stem is there for a very good reason, no matter what Crate and Barrel wants us to think.

  • SourGrapesFC

    And Gary gives him excellent ratings

    A few of us on this side of the hills have a monthly wine tasting (prompted by an episode a couple years ago and a WLTV forum conversation- scroll down to the bottom of the page for the forum link). I just checked out your site- nice!

    Coke when it's going up against Pepsi but I do enjoy a Mt Dew every now and again…

  • divyamistry

    Although I've almost stopped drinking soda/pop… whenever I do drink it, PEPSI all the way!
    QOTD: Pepsi

  • laurieinvt

    QOTD: If there's no Dr. Pepper, then Coke. (both sons are Pepsi guys, go figure)

  • Hinrgman

    Gary,
    Glad to have you back.

    Always happy to see the stemless wine glass….!

  • Hinrgman

    Gary,
    Great to see you back.

    Coke. Pepsi is all about the sugar monster. Never had St Joseph and wish I could have caught it on cindy

  • Coke

  • 1. Coke,
    2. YES! Couple weeks ago in the wineshop i'm working. Loved it. Really loved it.
    3. Introvert; W.F. Hermans, a dutch novelist
    Extravert; Viognier.

  • laurieinvt

    QOTD2: nope

  • I've never heard of Saint Joseph, but now I'm eager to try some.

    I own 2,600 shares of Coca-Cola, but I only drink wine and water.

    Favorite Introvert: Miles Davis, he always kept his back to the audience.
    Favorite Extrovert: Tim Herron, pro golfer, that guy can party.

  • laurieinvt

    So if Mott were a wine, he'd be a St. Joseph?

  • Just Jack

    Great show…maximum thunder. I haven't tried anything from the region but I will be on the lookout for some to try.

    QOTD 1: Coke
    QOTD 2: Extrovert = Robin Williams. Introvert = Woody Allen.

  • divyamistry

    Aha! More QsOTD.
    1. PEPSI all the way
    2. Never had those wines because I don't find it in local wine stores or they're too expensive for my tiny grad-school student wallet.
    3. Extrovert: Still an empty category; Introvert: Steve Jobs (yep, I'm going there… iPad is a major dud, but His Steveness still rocks!)

  • The most introverted: @garyvee …. pickles juice????

  • NY Pete

    same shirt … razzzzzzzzzzz

  • Jason719

    The only St. Joseph I have had was the 2006 Jean Louis Chave Offerus St. Joseph and its was fantastic. I really need to get into these wines more.

    My favorite extrovert was a guy on my college tennis team at Drew (JD) and my favorite introvert would be Pete Sampras

  • Great episode. Never heard of the region before, but I will try to find some wines from the region.

    QOTD1: Coke!
    QOTD2: Never.
    QOTD3: Ext – Sam Kinison, Int – Maynard James Keenan

  • Just Jack

    LOL quite right.

    1.) He has been around awhile (I don't think he was the favorite of Louis the XII though).
    2.) He is brilliant at what he does.
    3.) He doesn't get enough press.

  • NY Pete

    what the frackk is a KAHUNA?

  • vinoreviews

    Coca Cola especially from McDonald's

    Never had St. Joseph had Crozes Hermitage though, usually stick to Southern Rhone wines but will have to try some St. Joseph soon.

    Not a fan of the stemless glasses, bring back the stem!

  • Styles

    Dr. Pepper all the way.

  • davemcneilly

    1. Coke
    2. Love St Joseph for all the reasons you listed. Hard to find though.
    3. Extrovert – Jim Carey's The Grinch, at the end of the movie
    Introvert – Jim Carey's The Grinch, at the beginning of the movie

  • NY Pete

    coca cola

  • Teaser Q: Pepsi
    SubQ: no experience with St. Joseph
    QOTD: Fav. Extrovert: Carl Sagan
    Fav. Introvert: Ryan Miller (Sabres)

    Hammer Time! Glad I didn't miss that. AND I learned something….St. Joseph. Good times.

  • johnfarrin

    mini QOTD: I'm a veteran St. Joseph drinker. Probably as many as 3 in my life! 🙂

    QOTD: Ali for the extrovert. I like people (like you) who are “out there” but can BRING it. Talk all the smack you want if you can back it up.
    I don't really know if he qualifies as an introvert, but on the non-brash side I loved Jimmy Stewart.

  • wyotim

    I love the stemless “O” glass. especially when using it at home, They are varietaly correct and don't break in the dish washer.

  • Sub QOTD: Coke. No Doubt!

    I have a bit of a problem that you didn't throw in WA into the Syrah mix…

    Sub QOTD2: Only one, and it was no where near great. Excited to try it again.

    QOTD: The introvert is this IT guy at work. Keeps to himself but ABSOLUTELY knows his ess. Extrovert, Deion Sanders (as a Skin, of course).

  • cubs2806

  • laurieinvt

    I'd love to pick up some St. Joseph, but how will I be able to get an iPad (truly awful name) if I spend my $ on wine?! Aarggh!
