    Can we get that Tooch guy to host the next show? He seemed to really know what he was doing.

    meh…wait until you see what Julius opens…

  • Cool format, good show.
    QotD1 — nah, they won’t get to 100 wins. Not enough offensive depth But who cares? That’s a team built for the playoffs anyway.
    QotD2 — The Mets will lose 89 games.
    QotD3 — All of them. Not enough money and no hand to guide me where I’m living right now.
    QotD4 — I’d have to think that Australia will bounce back. The seeds for a comeback are likely already bearing fruit. Look to the small producers, the ones concerned with expressing the land.

    That dude in the Wisconsin Shirt was spot on. Sign him up. What an epic episode.

    yikes…nothing but middle-aged white guys. Clones! Guess you’ve defined your target demo. oh wait, there’s a token woman sitting behind the desk, rolling her eyes… ah, she works there…

    LETS GO METS!

    I’m entrenched in Italy.

    Australia … meh.

  • Nick

    AWESOME EPISODE!! Unfortunately the guys didn’t stick to your request to keep the pricepoint reasonable.

    QOTD1: who cares
    QOTD2: who cares
    QOTD3:bordeaux
    QOTD4: have they ever been gone?

  • Anonymous

    you look good in blush

  • ToddT

    QOTD 3: Chateauneuf du pape, and amarones are on my list to explore in 011
    QOTD 4: I have not had enough Aussie wine to say either way, some has been gloppy over oaked over ripe, but some have been soooo great (The Dead Arm)

    Nice episode G. Allan might die if you don’t get him an invite next time!

  • forums, yeah right I have tried to get on for two and a half years but it seems impossible, just because I slipped at the age question…..I’m 50 dudes!!!! And NO, I’m not willing to use another mail adress.
    And on the 8th of march, International womens day, there is ..ZERO female invites(but I saw KMurph at Garys computer), really bad, really! Wine a man’s game when we talk about points, review, and more, thats obvius. That should get all wine peeps to think a bit….

    QOTD1:sports, what sport?
    QOTD2:Mets its that some sort of sports team too?
    QOTD3:Hungarian Tokaij
    QOTD4:Have they disappered? Don’t think so, but you have to spend more then 15 bones to get the good stuff.

  • Boo Hoo. The man has gotten 18 shout-outs already. 😛

  • Australia never left is my thought too. Didn’t realise you were an aussie. Good on ya mate. Me going to Perth, Melbourne and Sydney in september. will try wine from regions in all three locations.

  • The true mistress of the WineLibrary Domain. Keepin’ them in line Davey. Keepin them in line. 😉

  • I’ll guess he’ll die if he get’s an invite. It can be hard to get from denmark to New Jersey 🙂

    Malbec is totally “hurt” in my eyes. The amount of pure crap Malbec in the <$20 range, and the over extracted crap that doesn't even taste like wine in the $20-$30 range coming out of Argentina is amazing. Yo Argentina! Get your shit together!

  • Nice casual show, and you moved it along nicely.
    Smell it first. TR

    Sorry, I forget that V-Tech was Gary’s jealous stalker. I hope you get a lock of his hair too.

    Great show for the countdown! Looking forward to the next installments. Gary you are “The Man”! What a wonderful get together.

    QOTD 1&2: No One Cares!
    QOTD 3:Burgundy yet this year.
    QOTD 4: Never knew it had left?

  • Anonymous

    qotd 1: Phillies can go to hell, or the American League, whichever is worse.
    qotd 2: The only thing worse than a large market team with a giant payroll is a large market team with a giant payroll that sucks. 74 wins, uncountable suicides.
    qotd 3: Take the rocks out of your mouth. Something about old world wine? I’m hankering for a good northern rhone, haven’t had one in a while.
    qotd 4: Not as long as all of their decent wines cost $50.

  • Toooooch! He’s so hot!

    Australia is back. I have been in Sydney for the last 3 years and have been having some amazing wine at reasonable price points. The GFC has really brought things down to earth here I think. I’ve been drinking lots of stuff that was meant for the export market that never made it out of oz. Bargain basement prices for a lot of world class wine…

  • Anonymous

    Fun show. QOTDs: Who cares. 75. Never had a cote de nuits. Lot’s of good stuff if you avoid the critter plonk.

    Tooch FTW

  • fat chef

    This show was, as the Miz would say, “AWESOME!”. Really looking forward to seeing the rest of these roundtable episodes, the Vayniacs be representin!

    QOTD:
    1. yes
    2. more than last year

    3. movedre
    4. yes. australian shiraz will be popular again with a couple of good consecutive vintages.

  • Ha! I was thinking more a toenail. 😛

  • Really nice show, great depth of knowledge up there. Very much looking forward to the others.

    But SRSLY do we need to hear 5 dudes swishing and spitting? Gary’s mouthwash commercial sloshes are bad enough.

  • Anonymous

    Great show…it would kind of be nice to see them all back to back…to see how everything progresses. I’m shocked there was no whites of sparklers…

    QOTD:
    1. yes
    2. more than a few
    3. I want to drink more Barolo, I need to drink more Barbera, and I haven’t had enough German Spätburgunder to really feel like I know what to expect.
    4. yes. australian shiraz will be popular again with a couple of good consecutive vintages.

    top 90! now to watch the episode. By the way, for all those wondering, I will not be on the next three episodes. Maybe for the next kosher episode.

    Gary, where are the women? It’s hard for me to believe that there are no women in the top 50. In our wine club, we women are the wine lovers, the guys are along for the ride. Regardless, this was a great show and I look forward to your tastings with some of the other Vayniaks. I don’t have an answer to the first two QsOTD, but for #3 more Malbec, actually, haven’t had one in a while and 4) sure, everything comes back, including Australia. Life is cyclable, and so is wine.

    Way to go boyzzzz. Phils will have 75 wins Met2 69

    Where did Wayno go, do you know?

    KMURPH, KMURPH, KMURPH IS IN THE HOUSE (or on the other hand, I think she is always, but she in the room and on camera- FOR ONCE)

    The Phillies will get cocky and not get 100 wins; and the Mets will be in 4th place.

  • Anonymous

    Best show ever. Could have been longer though….and the breathing issue should’ve been handled.
    1. Don’t care
    2. Don’t care
    3. Puglia
    4. Don’t care

  • Charlotte K. Jensen

    All men? What the f… Sorry, but boy did I get happy seeing KMurph on the show at last.

    QOTD:
    1: I don’t care.
    2: what a question. Again, I don’t care.
    3: a lot, esp. from the Languedoc Roussillon, Macabeu, Marsanne, Carignan, Lledoner Pelut and I could go on for ever.
    4: I sure hope not.

  • Anonymous

    there are plenty of women in the top 50…not everyone could make the trip to NJ.

  • Charlotte K. Jensen

    Agree on the women thing.

  • I like this format! Great idea for the big countdown. Make sure they use their screen names. I love that they raped your shelves with the triple digits. Spanish wine brings the Thunder, Nice pick Cali!

    QOTD:
    1- Not a chance
    2- Bahahahahahahaha…no.
    3. France, France, France
    4. Aussie Kool-Aid is disgusting.

  • Anonymous

    QOTD:
    3: Pouilly Fuisse
    4. I hope Australia makes a comeback, with all that land they should be able to contribute something worth drinking.
