I don’t think so

Nice.

My veal cutlet come down, tried to beat the shit out of my cup of coffee. Coffee just wasn’t strong enough to defend itself…..

We are glad you are back, now stay back. I’m sure if GV could ship to Israel he would. GV has never met a currency he didn’t like. 😉

I did, but it’s just not gonna happen, right === =?

It is going to happen! Have faith in GV! Always the negative nancy! 😛

No! Don’t! ALLAN!! WAIT!!!!! The pellet with the poison is in? the flagon with the dragon and the vessel with the pestle had the brew that is true!

QOTD: South Africa. Chile I think single varietal Carmenerer right now. Also had an excellent Viognier recently. I like the interesting, newer things they’re doing. Generally avoid Cabernet.

Gary,

I’m a new follower and love the show! It’s great to see Mott and others, and I find it very interesting to hear your descriptions of these wines. I’m pretty new to wine, so any knowledge I can skim is great. Also, I love some of the pairings you’ve done in the past. I went back and watched your cereal, hot dog and chocolate bar and licorice pairings. As a college student, those pairings are perfect!

Just wondering, would you ever consider doing a tasting featuring the Lodi, CA wine region? There are some pretty good ones there, especially in the way of Zinfandel. Turner Road Vintners, Jeremy Wine Co, d’Art, m2, Woodbridge, Macchia, etc. Thanks!

Hey, First timer…who did your animated intro, adorable!

QOTD: Argentina

QOTD: Wild and Raw

Only if he doesn’t have a sense of humor…and it’s comforting to know someone’s keeping track! There!! My condesention, once only slight, is now blantly obvious! ;-}

I really can’t get into Argentinian wine.. I seem to be the only person who doesn’t love malbec. I much prefer Chilean wines.. especially the pinot noir and syrahs (although I think carmenere is overrated).

Can you do a show on NZ and Chile syrah soon? I think they’re both making really serious syrah that is the best of the new world. Maybe two of each… Craggy Range & Schubert vs Matetic & Leyda?

QOTD: World Cup 2014

QOTD: Argentina — but not for their wines. I tend to agree that SA wines are over rated by score but are still values in general by price. I rarely drink them as they seem as others have posted either fruit bombs or wood chippers. I will keep trying them though. I would not spend 60 bucks on a SA wine at this point. SA wines should be in the 15-20 mark (a comment my brother recently made in reference to Italian wines — but he is freaking insane!!)

Note to viewers: Due to a recent dip in ratings, Wine Library TV has been cancelled. The network will be airing reruns until March 16th when the show’s replacement- Swine Library TV with host Rory Mingersheut debuts. Rory will “bring the thunder” as he samples the world’s finest pork products! Join us March 16th for what promises to be a much, much better show!!

WHAAAAT! NEEEEEVVVVVAAAAAA!!!!!!! 😛

ARRRRGGGGGH !!!!!! WHERES ME THUNDER???

;¤)

good show. South America = Latin, Samba, Andes, food, wine, drugs,beautiful….damned I should go there more often !
Thanks Gary for this show and very true ….a lot of good energy.
I would have to agree that a new world VS old world brown bag could be awssome but again would like to see some of that Rockin Moroccan stuff !

I actually didn’t want use wikipedia as a reference point…. that said they’ve become pretty good at cleaning up the site, so I don’t think it is AS bad as your comment might suggest.
I don’t think ANYTHING in my comment indicated that I view wikipedia as the gospel truth. The problem is that people who are not familiar with the liqueur which Gary is referring to (and are not ‘hip’ to the wine lingo) might be inclined to believe that ‘cassis’ refers to blackcurrant, and that ‘crême de cassis’ is the term for the liqueur itself. As far as I know Gary has NEVER cleared this up himself (or said what he is actually refering to), but I suppose it’s been discussed a boatload of times in the comments…..thanks for calling me out on the wikipedia thing. There was no need, though.
If you want a more sound reference how about this?

It suggest that Gary has even more explaning to do…you can’t expect everybody to suddenly just know what he is refering to; after all the breaking down of snobbiness in the wine culture is one of Gary main goals.

QOTD: S America = Some great wines and great values that are easily lost in a sea of inconsistency.

Whether they like it or not?

700+ comments and no shout out… I see how things work!

QOTD – how about Easter Island

Good show and I always try to purchase wine that is (IMO) worth it’s price. Any wine over $20 should be very good!

QOTD: Many pretty wines and not many great wines.

QOTD: Nuit d’Ivresse by C&P Breton in the Loire, we just ordered another case, maybe our 2011 wine, too! Also, 2008 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir bottling from McKinlay Vineyards, one of the best regardless of price (++QTP). We always have a box of sparkling handy, Nicole Chanrion “Effervescence” seemed to be the one for 2010, from Beaujolais (KLWM).
