  • are there any vayniacs that arent white, middle-aged men?

  • Monte Bello!!! Argh, that’ll warrant an admission of jealousy… Can’t wait to see this though. It’s a great series.

    D-Rod middle aged, that is funny. I think the range of the crew went from mid 20’s to 60+ (once the next few shows air).

    Looking forward to another tasting by the gang. From what I here Mott’s arm starts to shake in this one, better be ready for some motion sickness.

  • Coupe 60

    All right, thin might have been a bit of a Stretch

  • Mott

    Wasn’t my arm that was shaking. I did need to break as you’ll see.

  • Rich S

    You have no idea. It gets comical at a certain point……………

  • ups and downs of fashion. I guess all wine prices will go up, since we are approaching the point of more demand than actual availability.
    It is fascinating that a high sugar wine can have low alcohol level.
    Should I have bought a Monte Bello? I was a at store today that hade a case of magnums of that wine, but I passed and bought some CdP instead.
    QOTD:Yes, huh, Do you really want me list them? Yes.

  • this episode is early it’s only 10 pm

    When did Chris Chelios start posting on the forums?

  • Rich S

    Btw, my QOTD was intended to be “which austrian rieslings have you had recently and liked, and if so which ones?”

    It just didn’t come out that way……………..lol

  • rwino

    Good show, an interesting mix of wines today. Enoyed this group of guests, they kept the focus on the wine along with some light banter. QOTD’s: Lots of German wines lately, one that stands out in my memory was a Schmitt Sohne Rheinhessen 1991 Bornheimer Adelberg Kabinett in 375 format. Good stuff yet was inexpensive back in the day.

  • This was much more tame than the last one…

    QOTDs: No, No, Not that I can remember, and Yes, all the time and I always get that question, sometimes even at wine shops.

    good luck topping yesterday’s show chumps!

    “Wasn’t my arm that was shaking. I did need to break as you’ll see.”

    Then I don’t want to know what you were holding the camera with.

  • rwino

    Understandable, Camera pressure 🙂 If you put it that way, I would say not much, tasted 6 at a wine tasting last year from one producer that I did’nt care for.

  • Anonymous

    Excellent show!

    QOTD 1: yes…and now he has to make new episodes
    QOTD 2: NO
    QOTD 3: NO
    QOTD 4: Sometimes

  • Happy Diabetic

    no! Yes all the time!

    lol, I’m not even 30 yet and I’m middle-aged? Jeez.

    That 07 Ridge Monte Bello was a real beauty. Best wine I had all day, and that includes some real cult producers later that night.

  • Coupe 60!!!! GARY!! You’re tasting with someone I know!!! LOL!!!!

    good episode, and a lot of respect to the chooser of the $45 bottle.

    Trouty must be taller than Mott from the camera angle/perspective/eye view.

    And K-murph may go down in history as the best videographer in WLTV history!

  • NY Pete

    no spitters …. love it!

    qotd 1: nice plug, will check it out.
    qotd 2: lol@jets. sorry g, they’re incapable of getting it together.
    qotd 3: none that come to mind
    qotd 4: Dude! Had the same thing happen last night. Was in Oberlin for a concert and stopped for dinner at an eclectic little Thai restaurant and ordered a sparkler because we thought it’d go well with the food. The girl asked what the occasion was.

  • NY Pete

    MB … WTG Lou!

  • These are good collection of shows!

    QOTDS: 1.) Yes… I got a great oso bucco recipe from him!
    2.) Um… Go Chargers / Lions!
    3.) A few but do not remember the producers. Sorry!
    4.) I drink bubbles all the time! Champagne is one of my favorites.

  • I’m not even waiting for my stupid email, I am just checking to see when these episodes goes up now. I am enjoying them so much. I really wish I was there. I hope you integrate these again in the future. There will be a future right?! I mean of WLTV, of course. DRod, I’m ordering Champagne tonight just because of you. Thank, Bro.

    QOTD1: Nope, but will check it out.
    QOTD2: They should have won it this year and they are good enough to do it next year.
    QOTD3: It’s been a while, but usually I get them at Thai restaurants
    QOTD4: Let’s see if it happens tonight…My answer will be, “Why, yes, as a matter fact, it’s Thursday.”

  • NY Pete

    great bottle Kevin!

    I loved GV’s face when nobody spit on the first wine. They did dump thought.

  • Anonymous

    QOTD 1 – No.

    QOTD 2 – I do not agree.

    QOTD 3 – I do not drink Austrian Riesling.

    QOTD 4 – The only two times I drink sparkling wines are to celebrate or if I’m in a tasting room that has some.

    The thing I liked about this show, btw this was definitely the coolest group of guys yet, was the Riesling conversation. There was a lot of good information there. Thank you.

    Yours,

    B.S.

  • NY Pete

    great show gentleman.

  • Nice to see some whites!

    QOTD1: No, but can you provide us with the link?
    QOTD2: Not sure but given this past year it could happen.
    QOTD3: I’ve never had an Austrian Riesling.
    QOTD4: I do not enjoy the bubbly. Sorry.

  • NY Pete

    who’s Kahuna?

    J … E … T … S … JETS JETS JETS!

    have a few downstairs but as of now … no.

    how did DRod get an invite to this celebration?
    special occasion on the bubbles.
