GV – Nice to hear it's not all peaches & cream. The real world sometimes sidetracks us from our pleasures. I look forward to more WLTV next week. Thanks for all the insight you've given us all thus far.

First off, LOVE the past couple weeks of shows. Even liked the Soprano's episode.
Would love to see some shows around BBQ wines. Also would be interested in a “lobster wine” show. Lastly, maybe another Portugal wine episode- still very high on that area myself, and it has been a while since you have done that.
Maybe taste some Santa Julia wines — organic producer around $10 bones. Make a Malbec, Cab Sauv., and I think a Merlot….Curious as to what you think.

Glad you let us know. Taking a week off to take care of business was a better idea than rushing through a weeks worth of shows in 30 minutes.
pseudo QOTD: I think you have recently did a Barolo show, but you should do another one. Call it Baller Barolo's- 50 and up, Mattgman will love it; and most importantly it sounds cool.

what is going on? where's SS Chris? KaD … insert it here …

I forgot to put down the wine earlier, 2001 Vinicola Nera Grumello riserva DOCG

I recommend Kmurph stepping in for a few shows this week.
I'm doing a blind Cabernet tasting in my store this weekend, so why don't you try some cabs like: Little Lion “Volunteer” 2007 Mondavi Napa 2006 BV Rutherford 2006 Orin Swift Papillon 2007
Well, hope all the “serious” biz stuff is ok. I'll miss WLTV this week.
Hmmm…I'm with some of the other suggestions on Priorat or Sancerre. Maybe something out there…people mentioned Lambrusco on the recent bubbly episode. Vinho Verde, Torrontes…too many choices.

Priorat Show!!!!!!!

Thanks for taking the time to let us know, you will be missed. :O) I would love for a tasting of wines from the Barossa Valley/Eden Valley/ Clare Valley. Love to learn more about that. Had a great Colonial Estate wine offered on Cindy a week or so back, delicious!! Came by the temple last week at the open house and Chris directed me toward some other ones from Barossa. Excellent, although the Colonial Estate rocked, wish I had gotten more of that. :O)

Thanks for the update… sucks but work before play! I'll make the suggestion again I have a few times before: we've not yet had an episode of wines made from grapes indigenous to the US such as Catawba, Concord, Niagara, Delaware, etc!

No worries, life goes on….thanks

Thanks for pointing that out, Allan! And… my question was answered. Gary is THAT good – he anticipated my question months ago, or… he has a time machine, got himself about 21.1 giggawatts via a lightning storm, pulled a “Back to the Future” and taped an episode just so he appears to be that on top of things! The guy is truly amazing.

Thanks for the warning about no shows this week. Next week let's get your take on the much-hyped '07 California Cabs!
Taste some Greek wines! At a tasting you did a year ago, someone asked you what the next big wine region would be, and you said Greece. So I've had a bunch lately, including a great bottle at Terroir in NYC, and they were all shockingly good.
Hey it's all good. Just got in from a 10 Day Wine tasting Road Trip of Central and Northern Calif. Had a Taste of Beringer Reserve Cab @ $115.00 a bottle! Can't see this price for me. GV in Napa Valley was some of the Best. The Wine Maker & his Wife were the Best! CRS-Should of taken Notes! M~R

I just checked the archives, and neither Albarino nor PV have been done blind….

Kmurph Do it!!!
And taste me some good Cotes Du Rhones under $25 please, thank you, that is all. 🙂
Alright bro, you asked for it. It looks like I will make it to the Lib in time for the taping next monday.
QOTD: I want you to taste a bottle of wine that has been my favorite value play in my entire drinking career. I have a couple bottles and can bring it to you.
1997 Torreoria Gran Reserva (it's a Spanish red)
Whatdya say?
Brunellofello
I completely understand. It's probably good for me to take a break from WLTV as well. Next week I hope you can talk about the 07 Cali cabs or maybe the 04 Brunello Riservas.
any of those. PLEASE talk about 09 bordeaux…. thank you
Darlene O.
Hey, Gary! Gotta do what you gotta do! We'll be here when you get back. 🙂
murso
Well – there's always library back issues for us. Go make some money.
When you come back, a whole week of hot weather wines. Alternative, no -glass packaging (plastic bottles, good quality (int'l ) bag in box, Tetra packs, etc.) for the pool, boat, and picnic. Light bodied wines. Low alc. refreshers – even cocktails – spritzer and sangria method/ recipes. Refreshing BEERS – Saison, Biere de Garde, Pils, Shandy, Alster, Berliner-Weisse.
We'll miss you Mr. V. Thanks for keeping us updated!!

I had problems with IE8 on my Windows 7 machine, so I downloaded and started using Firefox and haven't had any issues since. It used to not let me type in the comment box and sign out after each comment.
Now let's see how wide we can make the PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
How about you pick some wines from the archive that you panned, but thought might be better in the future and then try them now that it is the future. If I happen across any during my archive travels, I'll post 'em.

How about some 2008 Oregon Pinots?
