    Dude, the selections are off the racks at a retail store, what did you expect? That being said, a good wine is a good wine, doesn’t matter whether its young or old. If you like it, its good

    These guys are dumping too much! Rookies

  • It’s great seeing a bunch of old dudes (except for the guy left of Gary) get together and enjoy some wine. Shout out to my peeps under 30!

  • ALLAN

    All In All, this was MINDBLOWINGLY GOOD!!! Fantastic idea! Will love all these shows, Killer!

    Fun, good times, this IS what IT’s all about!!

    Please make these shows longer/linger on….. seemed a little hushed! Make it 45min+ 🙂 The Vayniacs deserve the time.

    This eclipses all other shows, period!

    Qotd1: ?
    Qotd2: ?
    Qotd3: DRC (And never will, It’s to darn overpriced)
    Qotd4: Yes, definitely! We need Australia!!

  • BuffaloLou

    Nice job, gents! Good hearing the ’06 SRT is another winner!

  • ALLAN

    Well, you could have prepared it a little better, say, maybe decanted it for about 5 hours or so…? Ya see, it’s all in the preparation…. And Rayas is probably “a hair” overpriced for what it REALLY is, don’t you think? 😉

    Cheers and all the best to you.

    Phillies will not win more than 100 games, (weak offense).
    The Mets will be bankrupt by the all star break and Prokhorov will bye them, effectively turning Jersey into a Russian satellite state.
    The Aussies will be back. They have too many smart and talented people working good vineyards not bounce back.

    preparation? we are talking about Gary here. He told us literally as we were walking in to go pick out some bottles. 🙂 Good times!

    BTW Allan, I hear tomorrow’s episode goes a little longer. 😉

  • This was a fun show. Looks like a fun office…

    QOTDs (in order): Yes, 68, Brunello, yes.

  • ALLAN

    Please, don’t pick bottles that, You Know, won’t be in-the-ball-park-of-ready-yet! Remember that the next time, Cheers! :OP
    And……..
    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

    It all depends on your definition of “ready-yet”, and again…retail store shelf!

    I think the boys all did well picking out wines

    QOTD:
    Who cares 😉
    Ditto
    Lots
    Yes, once they take their heads out of you know where and contain the junk juice.

  • ALLAN

    QOTD 1/2: Not as many as the Tigers
    QOTD 3: There are quite a few Old World wines I haven’t had this year being part of the CKC. Need to work on a budget.
    QOTD 4: Australia will come back, the country isn’t completely lost and there’s still some good wine being made there.

  • Wow! How cool…
    No way I can watch this at work, got to check this out from home, when I can kick back with a glass!

    Not a bad start to the drum roll, I see why they are such an elite group now. They are all in that coveted top 1%; those are some big boy paycheck wines!

    QOTD 1: Don’t care, SF Giants are going to win it all again anyway.
    QOTD 2: See above comment.
    QOTD 3: Need to explore Italy much more, have had a couple recently but not nearly enough.
    QOTD 4: I never thought Australia left, therefore they cannot come back. It seems odd to me how Gary and others Australia bash all day long, and then as soon as he goes there he showers prays on many of the small producers and many of the people he meets. Then, not surprisingly, as soon as he gets back it?s almost as if those wines he tried do not exist. I understand the branding of Australia, and I also understand that many producers there have latched on to that style everyone dislikes so much and will not let go. I was born there, know a few people who make wine there, and have been back a couple times since I started my fledgling journey in the wine world; that style that everyone associates Australia with is NOT ubiquitous. Sorry for the rant, but some wine regions get unnecessarily slammed and therefore unexplored; which goes directly against Gary?s creed and otherwise curious individuals miss out on some extraordinary QPR’s and some damn fine wine.
