line of the day (to Mott) – ‘what did you watch last night…and don’t lie’

A few too many ‘in-jokes’ for me to get too pumped about this episode and a disappointing wine didn’t help

    Thank you… You are too winewoman..
    🙂

  • sailorman

    Can we repost Qotd, because i think i have done a good job this evening. kayla28 rocks! I might be one step ahead of her……… only sayin'. ; ) I still love u kayla28

  • sailorman

    he might be roman?

  • sailorman

    That's just pure love for everybody!!! Thanks for that!

  • I really haven't had a whole lot of chenin, though I've liked those that I have tried (even those outside of France). Will have to try more Vouvray when possible.

    QOTD: Mott, of course…Wayno cracks me up whenever he comments. It's great that everyone has an opinion and is not afraid to express it.

  • sailorman

    Mott seems to always be on top…. he might have an advantage…. ?

    …so Gary,
    I was wondering if you ever put your hand over the glass pre-sniffy-sniff as you swirl? Perhaps it might be helpful for those that are new to the SNIFFY-SNIFF or wines that are closed??? Yeah, yeah, I know get your own show!!!!
    When are you going to offer the V-Nation a spit bucket??…..Perhaps something with a V-shape???
    When are we going to get a N.F.L. team in LOS ANGILEES???!!!!!!

  • sailorman

    Is this comment section like this every night??? It's cool, if you ask me….

  • I don't read enough other commentors to have a favorite but I like me as a commenter so that's my vote.

  • castello

    Randi has the best picture(and nice comments). Murso is the most pedantic. Allan is the most persistent. Pete leaves the shortest. Wayno the WINOOOOOOOOO USES THE LONGEST WORDS. Kahuna just dropped a duece. I have the best photoshopped picture.

  • I can't believe the color of those wines. True gold. Amazing. They need to upgrade their labels, very boring.

    Hey Gary, what about the ladies? I heard a lot of shout outs to the boys. Come one ladies. Stop lurking and post! They don't bite…..that hard.

    QOTD Favorite Commenter: Helen Buehler's Mom. ZING!

  • castello

    It gets better as the QOTDs get better

  • sailorman

    Confidence Sharp! I like it!

    hi gary- I'm pretty new to winelibrarytv, so i don't have a favorite commentor. my husband and i are both teachers, so i have a pretty limited budget for wine. i love watching your show- i've always loved wine, but pretty much stuck with the “standards”. you've helped me try wine out of my comfort-zone. I have found an interest and appreciation that I never thought was this strong in me. i don't know how often i'll comment, cause i usually don't have the knowledge and experience most the other people have. does that still make me a lurker?

  • sailorman

    You might have the greatest humour of them all….. Allan is the most active, eh? Haven't seen him this evening……..? is he dead,,,, or has he become……. s……..?

  • Nice episode G, I am also a lover of Chinin Blanc, how come you never give me a shout out…LOL….old school up in here.

    QOTD: NY Pete, and gary V.

  • sailorman

    I might get to like you castello…….. What's you Q for me?

  • D_Rod

    Whooo, I got a shout-out. Kmurph told me I might dig today's episode, and now I see why.

    QOTD: NY Pete–mostly because I enjoy watching him give you a hard time.

  • D_Rod

    P.S. Nice job with the François. See? That wasn't so bad.

  • sailorman

    I'll stick it in me pipe and smoke it…. ; )

  • Neil

    QOTD: I used to like seeing Ken P's and Brandon M's comments and awlays have enjoyed Kahuna's irreverance. I might not be the most outrageous commenter on WLTV but I have posted in the vicinity of 300+ comments (maybe more) w/out a shoutout. 🙁 Not to worry though, I really enjoy WLTV and will continue to watch even if I never get a shoutout.

  • Nice episode…

    QOTD: Derek F.

  • Sean

    Im sad to say I have never had a chenin blanc. I have to remedy that, you have shamed me into it. Great show.

  • sailorman

    What the devil ever happend to sailorman…. ; ) only kidding. Fishing for applause only.

  • RANDINTHECITY

    GARY!!
    No shout out? hhmmm..
    QOTD: Well..I always get a rise & a chuckle out of Glen..winecrazy. I cant help it..I just do.

  • winecrazy

    Franscois…..lol……and I thought you only butcherd my name.

    QOTD: Me…..!!!!! I'm partial to my comments because I usually liught at them as I'm posting them so I think if I'm laughing……..people have to be laughing. I know Ayno laughs when I mis spell words on here. I know Pam Starr laughs when I talk to her. She laughs so much that Marcy at Crocker & Starr tells me she hasn't heard Pam laugh so much in quite a while after we talked. You should have her on your show.

  • RANDINTHECITY

    see.. lol

  • sailorman

    I like chenin blanc.
    GV says, “Raise your prices.”
    “Shut your hole, GV.”

    QOTD: I'm rather new to the comment section. I pretty much like anyone who doesn't slather parentheses/semicolon faces and LOL all over the place.

    I have had only one chenin blanc…2008 Mulderbosch It's good I like it quite a bit. It got alot of acidity which I enjoy alot in white wines.

  • Phredd3

    Nice show. I haven't had a chenin blanc in a very long time. Gonna have to do that after the credit card recovers from Cindy.

    QOTD: Gotta go with NYPete. He pops the comments in there, but doesn't overdo it.

  • Nice episode. I will Chenin blanc a try…

    QOTD: I am too new to have a favorite commentor, but I will take this opportunity to recognize 'Chris the Cop' for taking the time to interact with many of the folks that commented on the episode where he was the featured guest. I, for one, really appreciated the fact that he replied to my comment.

  • sailorman

    Thanks, you're very kind.

  • sailorman

    Hopefully this is not my real pic….
