90/100

I expected the worst when i found out that the guest was a commenter on the show…but it turned out that there was a great chemistry between him and GV so it worked pretty well.

  • jack

  • charlzee

    Love the long time commentor episodes but no one calls gary out on their own opinions. Someone must disagree. I'd love to do a 4 brown bag blind with my favorites and see how GV rates them. We'll see if price does not matter.

    Big and Bold…Cakebread Furth..only to the list I think.

  • ralph

    We need to have a pow wow/drinkathon…..lol

  • looper1313

    Great show. Loved the laid back vibe
    QOTD: Anaparenna, amon-ra… etc. any of those really big glaetzer shiraz wines. They are awesome. Like having a meal and drinking a glass of wine.

  • Daniel Schlossberg

    Big Props to WAYNE!!!

  • Nice to meet you Glen. Great show too. Its nice to see real people with real descriptions that can reach the masses.

    QOTD: I love Mt.Veerder Winery. Thier Cab and also the Reserve (Meritage blend)

  • Anyone else having trouble loading the site here? It is super slow for me with loading everything including the comments section.

    Awesome having a true Vayniac on the show. THANKS Gary for that taking a shot at the “poser” from yesterdays episode. That guy was a heartbreak to everyone in here that feel like we are truly a part of this community. Still proud of his hustle but I don't understand his desire to be on a show that he doesn't even follow.

    QOTD: I don't have any links for you on this. I don't really go for that style. Thanks though for being on the show, nice to meet you.

  • QOTD: without question, it would be the 2007 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon http://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=678191

  • Corkshack

    Great show!

    I would say one of the biggest, fruitiest, in your face wines I've had in a while was an '07 Caymus. Pricey, but fits your description.

  • winecrazy

    Thanks Corkshack!!!!!

  • winecrazy

    Thanks for the link

  • winecrazy

    Thanks so much Jimmy!!! And I agree… when you don't folow something, why be a guest when there are many true Vayniacs out there wanting to be on. And you know I'm one Crazy Vayniac!!!…lol

    And yes, there was some trouble with comments loading.

  • winecrazy

    Thak you Michael!!!!!!!!

  • winecrazy

    Yeah Buddy!!!

  • winecrazy

    I'll look into that Looper…glad you liked it. It's easy to be laid back with Gary. We took a pic on the laid back couch. It came out great. You can see it at winecrazy.com

  • winecrazy

    Thanks Burro!!!

  • winecrazy

    Its hard to disagree when your both tasting the same thing. But I would drink that one bottle by its self and he would only be a 2 glass tops kinda guy…remember??

    So I think at least I felt that wine was more for my palate and I told him that. Hey.. I call it like it is…but those wines were all that and more!!! I'm up for a blind tasting Char!!!

  • winecrazy

    Thanks Big Mob!!!!!!

  • Skippy6052

    I really enjoyed the show nice guest. A tv show to catch thats interesting now that LOST is gone and canceling Flash Foward after the season finale is Pawn Stars. Anyways to the drinking! I was syked to see the Tvine wine on the table because I love the 2004 Zinfandel from them witch meets your big chewy fruit driven wine. I also like the Earthquake zin as well both benifit from decant or just leave open for a while. If you haven't had any wines from Chappellet yet you will like their style as well and they get great ratings.

  • I know some would debate it but at the end of the show winecrazy was already one of the best guests ever in my book. I dare say, however, that nobody would debate winecrazy's post-show presence on the boards is second to none!! You have set quite the bar for future guests man!

  • Lb_in_KS

    I feel left out…. I need a name. I'm not a lurker, but I'm also not a regular poster…and RARELY do I miss a show. “part~time Lurker”? “Some~time poster”? Surely I'm not the only one……somebody give us a name.
    Great Ep. always good when a couple of real dudes get together.

  • Great show, much fun, nice wine parsing,and glad you guys got Mott in on the action.
    Excellent to hear that the big WineCrazy is a no TV dude…no so crazy after all… Excellent success on the lurker outing campaign.

    QOTD: Tasted a set of Toro 2007s back in the spring, that were humongous, from Teso la Monja:
    Almirez –

    Alabaster – no WLTV 🙁 … may be just as well…just calculating the bottle cost given the wholesale price of the 4 pack plus markup made my credit card melt.

  • saraleib

    Great episode! ALmost as good as ep #494 when I was on! 🙂 Just kidding. I like big, bold wine, too, but not exclusively. Are you into fruity whites? I love the Marlborough sauv blancs for their extreme fruitiness without the residual sugar.

  • HOMMER

    MY NUTS ARE GRAPES BIG,SUCK EM ALLAN ONLY FAGS DRINK WINE,TRY THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS AND THE STREET YOUR IMATURE,GO SUCK SOME FAGS BALLS FRUITCAKE

  • HOMMER
