QOTD: Eagles 17 Redskins 14
QOTD: Now I’m thinking Chardonnay or Grenache since I just watched back to back shows but I’ll change my mind to either rioja or other. Earlier I was thinking about rioja. We’ll see.

I like brown bag episodes.

Moore Brothers carries UNTI wines.

GV:

Great episode. This is what you do… you leave… disappear… break my heart… phone it in for a little while, then… THEN… you come back and make me fall in love with you all over again.

-XOXO TSL

that slacker hasn’t updated KAHUNA’S spreadsheet all week …. WTF

QOTD1: Patriots 27- Dolphins 24
QOTD2: Some Firestone Double Barrel Ale from Paso Robles, CA. It is so hot down here in central
California that I need to drink a refreshing beer. I always tell everyone that drinking Firestone DBA is like drinking a Sprite, you have that Aaahhhh… moment after every sip.

Good luck to the Jets, but I am hoping for a Buffalo win.

Yep, brown bags own the sh*t, nice episode again! QOTD2: I had this beautiful cremant d’alsace yesterday in a restaurant. Have to get back to find out which one because I forgot. Maybe try an episode on some different cremants? Could be nice :)!

Wow what an upset, CA wins over a CDP, shocking!

qotd; Fish 24, Pats 21

Browns 20-Bengals 10

QOTD #1: Is it too early to give up on the Niners? It has been a rough start! QOTD #2: Doing some dinners this weekend, so I have 2007 Saintsbury Pinot, 2005 Beringer Reserve, and 2007 Bandol Rouge lined up. Should be fun!

I don’t follow football.

Right now I’m drinking a decent sub $20 Chardonnay (rare for me) from Limoux. Later in the weekend? probably some cindy stuff among what I hope to be several bottles so I can further clear out the basement. maybe the Toro you did on the show a little while back.

The bags rule!!! You are back big time,GV, and I am loving it. This is the GV and WLTV we all love. Just pissed we didn’t get to see you take your pants off tonight.

I predict the Giants will lose again. 21-20 I agree with your Jets prediction, it will be a fairly high-scoring game for the Jets, at least in the 30’s, the Bills between 17 and 24 points.

Since you enjoyed the Unti Grenache so much, I believe I have an older bottle of that in the cellar I will have with the Roast Chicken I will be making. Also have some whites around that I should get into, especially a Bedrock blend.

I predicted this last week (see my post from episode 920 in the midst of all the bashing). Lots of GV jocking this week 😉 He’s earned it though. Let this week be known as the week of THUNDER!!!

hahah i can’t wait to see crazy arm motions and the “slut wine” comment in a highlights reel 😀

Gary, surprised you didn’t remember but you gave the 07 Barroche a VaynerPAZZz on episode 738 about a year ago (Mott – link it up!) calling it “good, but a little disjointed; a little one dimensional as well”. Gotta give you credit, you’re palate is consistent.

QOTD: My Vikings are on a bye so I’ll pick the NFC Central match-up – Green Bay 34 Detroit 17.

“who you? you little slut wine..” …hilarious

This week = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuvNoi7b56w&feature=related

Drinking some Prosecco this weekend. Holla!

QOTD: straight fuckin’ grain alcohol

Bengals 34 Browns 9 – Hopefully a nice red for the wife’s birthday dinner tomorrow – 8 month in bottle, homemade, metabisulfite overload tonight. YOU LITTLE SLUT WINE, beautiful.

Da Bears 48____Giants 13
Smell it first.TR

That hurts. The bolts are supposed to be my pick this year; yes, they are looking rough, but they can right the ship. Hoping.

Go Blue!

Gary, I started watching your show for fun, I use it more and more as a wine index. Meaning I pick a wine, search, then check what you’ve said about the wines and learn as simple as that. It’s a lot of fun, and adds some live tasting notes to my classic references like the world atlas of wine and the big guys.

California.
I usually not a fan of California, but I have to say one can find from time to time a fantastic producer that tries to get a balance btw old world / new world. I find the best CA wines are true to their nature, but don’t go over the top. I still can’t drink 95% of the CA cabs though.

QOTD1 – Giants lose
QOTD2 – Dolcetto d’Asti, casasta Monticello, great wine for $10!

Again kuddos for the show !

Browns bags rox, great performance GV

QOTD 2 : Italian wines, i just finished a bottle of 2008 Primitivo de Puglia “SUD” by Feudi di San marzano, a great and textbook Primitivo, great value.
for tomorrow i have a bottle of 2006 Tenuta Sette Ponti CROGNOLO
Sunday i’m thinking about a great Malbec for the BBC.

Giants 24 Bears 20

2006 Quinta Do Vale Meao Meandro (my first experience with Douro and I am very impressed)

QOTD: Do many non-US viewers know enough to make a football prediction? Not saying you shouldn’t ask such a question, but it may lead to less comments. Just something to consider.second QOTD, good thing you asked as tonight I opened a bottle of (Bodega) El Esteco, 2008, Tannat (Argentina) it is only £6 ($8-10?), exclusive to Marks and Spencer in the UK market. It has so much fruit, but the tannins are holding it down, arguably making it an unusual wine that is simultaneously food friendly, as well as a fruit bomb…. that is until the nice high-cocoa style bitterness on the finish. One of the best values i’ve ever had.To put my tannat comments in context: never tried tannat based wines before, (just as a minor player in some Cahors) as I only just bought some Madiran wine so it’ll probably be way too early to drink.
