    Most Pinots remind me of cheap table wine.

  • greendragontre

    Great as always!

  • foothillzinfan

    Dude, I'm a lurker, but noticed that no one had commented yet…anyways, love Pinot Noir… but usually can't afford French one's…that's all.

    qotd: Drinking wine, maybe some rock climbing.

  • corkscrew

    Wierd start thines this week for WLTV..love Pinot, Kosta Browne, Pessagno http://www.winelx.com

  • JonathanAlfaro

    QOTD: I'm spending time with the kids, maybe throw the baseball around.

    Too bad you didn't like any of these Pinots. I really enjoy Pinot, but it is really price-prohibitive these days for what you get. That's why I've migrated more to Rhone type wines.

  • theDude

    I could be in the top 5 but I don't want to be. Please mark my post as comment #164.

  • Love the shirt…great design company! Its Thirsty Thursday and I guess these didn't help your thirst!

    QOTD: Pouring and drinking wine! Can't think of a better way to spend the weekend!!

  • cellarrat5

    Loveing the brown bags!! Top ten?

  • Matt

    QOTD: 07 Fèvre Chablis (Fourchaume, Vaillons, Bougros, Les Clos) for big Crab meal with Schamsberg 06 Blanc de Noirs as a starter and Lieser Niederer Auslese 05 Long GC for dessert. Can't wait!! Good show BTW.

  • gregholewinski

    Going to several wineries in the Grand River Valley, N.E. Ohio. Some nice Pinots from Harpersfield and St. Joseph's Wineries.

  • Noble Sot

    Sheep butt might be my new favorite wine descriptor. QOTD: Having dinner at Commerce in the W. Vill with my in laws.

  • Mattswords

    QOTD: Leaving Sat. to take a quick trip to Italy. Tuscan wine at local prices…oh sweet baby Jesus 🙂

  • cellarrat5

    Rage against the top ten machine! You could have waited Dude.

  • cellarrat5

    Somehow I knew you were going to pan those today, you did not have your ushual vibe on the intro today. Way to call out those sub par Pino's Gary, at least you told it how it was as ushual!

    QOTD: Watching the Giants pummle the Dodgers, playing a little poker, Maybe checking out this crazy drinking marathon people call picknick day in Davis, CA. Thats when all the V & E majors (and everyone else on campus) gets shitcanned. I dont go there anymore but I can still drink there!

  • I've been on a pinot 'meh' for a while now. I was drinking a crapload of it, and just got tired of it. I've really been on a merlot thing lately, and made my way back to good old cab. Maybe now that it's getting warmer, I'll move back to the lighter side of things.

    QOTD: I'm not sure. I know I've got to put up some campaign signs, (I'm running for Otero County Assessor woot!!) If I don't get to it tonight, I'm going to have to change the dampers and get the swamp cooler going, because it's freakin hot!

  • MGMWHINO

    QOTD: Going to a Cubs game at Wrigley with my wife & kids and with my brother (from NY) and his family.

    By the way, why were you “intrigued” by the second wine while it was still in the bag and before sniffing the wine?

  • davidemillombard

    QOTD: Comin' the the NYC! (East Rutherford Sheraton actually). Kevin Gawthrope, who I believe you know, and many of the trainers are already there for Isagenix University. Fired the #$%& up!

    MY QOTD 4 U: What do you actually do with the opened wine bottles??? (remember I'm still pretty new ; )

  • camira43

    QOTD: open houses, thanks to the fha

  • Allan

    Hello there, let's rock!

  • I didn't like them, I'm happy 😀
    Sancerre Rouge. hmmm, another appelation to try, when will it end!
    QOTD: OG not much.. I plan to taste a lot of wine, rearrange my winecooler, and then trough some garabage out ( not wine) Spring cleaning, Oh my parents are coming to congratulate my partner on her 50 th… and sleep late sunday.. write a bit on my novel… change the tires on the car … service the motorhome… order some chocolate for my show … ask a Bordeaux Chateau for a appointment in september, finish the plan for that trip… as I said, not much. What are you doing?

  • mschmidt64

    Loved the descriptions. I get the same sheep butt smell on a lot of Pinot's and I'm not a fan of it.

    QOTD: Time for spring yard work in Colorado. Opening the patio and getting the lawn and gardens in order. And drinking wine…

  • theDude

    I know!!! Why did I get this damn iPad that I can stream the GV show while
    I”m supposed to be working?…….i love it….i hate it…i love it…i
    hate it……………..sorry, I LOVE IT!!!

  • QOTD: Dinner with friends on Saturday night. Trying to decide what wines to bring… any suggestions?

  • what are you eating?

  • theDude

    and roll!!

  • jayhitek

    QOTD: Wife is off on a bachelorette party. It's just me and kids.

  • Anonymous

    Sojourn Cellars! Also try to drink some burgundy from Nicolas Potel,……and when I say Nicolas Potel I mean wine that is really made by him and not the negociant that still bears his name.

  • LMNOPinot

    QOTD: THis weekend I'm going on Craigslist to trade my 2nd kidney for a liver. I will also clean my bathroom grout…who am I kinding? No I won't.
    @Gary-What are you doing this weekend? Watching NHL playoffs?

  • mattgmann

    I've been doooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwn on pinots lately. Mainly a qpr issue. I've been craving a nice pinot for a while now, so I hope something decent comes from this.

  • theDude

    I've got a lung I don't use much since I quit smoking.

  • Pinot is hot after Sideways

  • mattgmann

    FAIL….

    I've had the first wine recently. It was a pass. It wasn't bad, but kind of hollow and overly simple. Reminded me of a cheap table wine.

  • Good blind today, I have never really gotten into Red Burgs due to the price considering what you can get from Oregon at those points.

    QOTD: Mastodon

  • Anonymous

    Yeah I agree as well. I love Pinot but the ridonkulous prices for it have me running for the hills. I blame “Sideways” and the wineries for riding the wave of free marketing.

  • Right? I really like the movie, don't get me wrong, but when is the world going to get over it? I mean the movie came out in 2004. What really irked me was people comparing pinot to shiraz, cab and cab franc, the whole merlot thing…when pinot is such a light and delicate grape…or should be.

  • Allan

    Not like button alert!

    Get over that flick!!!

  • mattgmann

    QOTD: Good weekend setup. Saturday, MUSHROOM HUNTING!!!!. The morels should be poppin hard and hopefully I can find a nice stand or two of them. What would be a nice wine with morels? I'm thinking an earthy white wine…maybe bubbles.

    Sunday: Fishing! Hendricksons are poppin, as well as the early hydropsyche caddis. I don't like fishing weekends on this particular river because of some crowding issues. But, I'll pull the private property card and with any luck have a nice stretch and a spinner fall to myself in the evening.

  • theDude

    Never heard of it!!

  • cellarrat5

    Yeah they are pritty cool half lap tops. Genius move on apples part,
    my roomate works for apple and he couldent even wait to get his
    employee discount! Those things are like crack for the poison apple
    coolaid drinkers.

    Sent directly from my brain to your computer/cellular device.

  • mattgmann

    As a movie, Sideways is good. But as a magnet for every douche to get hip to wine…..FAIL. There is a similar in my industry. We just call it “The Movie”….everyone else calls it ” A River Runs Through It”. Good movie, but brought an epic plague of Asshats into my quiet sport. It did make me a good amount of money, but I'd give it all back to be able to fish my favorite waters again without orvis decked out douchenuggets crowding me out and waiting for the Adams to hatch.

  • mattgmann

    No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any fucking Merlot!

  • guymandude

    I watched ,I commented , I'm done.

  • DCaragher

    GV – Sort of a flattering show, even though the wines didn't pack that much umph! Good to see your palate is keepin' it real! More excitement tomorrow perhaps?????

    QOTD – This weekend is up in the air! Oh the possibilities!

  • mattgmann

    lame

  • theDude

    Top 10 rant of the year!!!

  • DanLacher

    Loved the facial expressions today. @garyvee twitter today, what was the response on the cell phone numbers? I figured it was a @Venmo play but just could not put my cell number out that public.

    QOTD: All daddy all weekend, mommy is away so just hanging w/ the princesses.
