“When i pay for radio is when i pay for wine….” – H. Buehler

😛

I think this debate has been run into the ground on this forum, but what the hell. In my personal opinion people are too hard on this producer. I understand the essence of call it as you see it, but I think people let gary influence them a little too much regarding Molly Dooker and Australian wine in general. There has been SOOOO much Auzzie wine bashing in general it is hard to actually take anyone seriously due to the fact that as soon as decent Australian wines show up everyone sings their praises (especially when Gary likes them). I do agree that Molly Dooker is over the top much of the time, but people do like it (and not just in the US) otherwise they would not make so much of it (or import so much of it anyway).

here we go again, see comment regarding one of the Vayniacs QOTD’s.

Gary certainly didn’t like the “vin jaune”!

😀

Don’t eat the yellow snow! 😛

Man, that suck, but that’s the way it is sometimes! So the appropriate response is — mustard, pickles (or a pickle relish) and sour kraut. No dog better than that! Oh ya, you eat with a glass of 2000 Chateau Pontet-Canet!! Yum.

Wrong glass, wrong expectations?? ?

1st QOTD: didn’t listen your XM/Sirius show.

QOTD: …

Hey, there are times when you just have to say, “whatever”…

I do recognize and respect that everyone’s palate is different, but if I’m a merchant I want to stand behind the products I sell- if I can’t personally support it I wouldn’t pass it along to my customers. That being said, if I own a wine shop, am I going to sell white zinfandel and Santa Margherita pinot grigio even if I rate the former 65 points and think the latter is overpriced? Of course, because they’re established brands and moneymakers. But something like the wines reviewed here which are more under the radar, I’d want them to be solid before saying ‘this is the product we want to represent’

HIIIIIIITTS MEEEEEEE WIIIITTSS SOOOMMME MOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRREE

No Shipping this side of the pond….No Radio either yea Bozo

Dont work outside the US….GV’s a Bozo

Gary, QOTD for you: Do you sell all the wines that you taste in your store and if so what happens when you give them the sort of comments you gave to these VdP wines, do you take them off sale or hope that someone who hasn’t seen the show comes in and buys them?

Terrible English, should have said earlier comments!

Gary! I need your help! Breakfast is by far the most important meal of the day and my personal favourite. I was wondering if you had any wine pairing ideas for some breakfast staples. Scrambled eggs? Pancakes? And yes, I often drink wine with breakfast. I have seen the cereal episode and loved it. But I’m dieing to go down on some pancakes with some vino on the side.

Strange about VDP being this show because VDP is all I have been drinking the past week, and I never do. Found a “treasure chest” of 2003 Chateau Des Tourettes Trilogie d’Endes Vin De Pays Vaucluse, close to the Rhone Valley but too much time on it’s lees this wine is servicable at its $19 retail. At its $5 closeout, I feel like bankrobber.

Even BETTER, I found a 2003 Cote Du Ventoux Domaine Le Murmurmium Carpe Diem 50/50 Syrah Grenache blend that drinks like a $40 CDP for $5 also! Cotes Du Ventoux is just outside CDP to the east and I am very interested in this region now.

@GV….. didn’t hear your show last night…. why did you pick such a risky region for your follow up show to your debut? Are you an action junky?

Let hope there is some thunder next week!

Aahhh… the wino nation grows…
🙂

yea the 1st 30 minutes will no longer be the same kind of factor after the 1st month and i will screen and try to keep that part tight!

Action junky

Thnx JustinM 🙂

Thnx for tunning in 🙂 really!

Wow. Wow. Now THAT was a show. I am surprised that the VDPs were so bad since I, too, have had a number of them over the years that have been very interesting. But, to me., this is the danger with any “value” wines. You cannot generalize and say this region or this type of value wine is always (or even usually) good. Just doesn’t work. Of course, you cannot rely on price as a barometer for quality in wine in general either, as you often have pointed out.

QOTD: I only listened to the first hour for various reasons. I thought the beginning was a bit off because of all the “Congratulations, Gary!!!!” calls. I thought the interview segment was actually quite good. I’m looking forward to next week’s show.
