   “…the DOC’s, the ITG’s…” the Snoop D-O Double-G’s and the group that said *expletive* the police!

   Like your excitement at the end of the episode. The sweater makes you look like a huge dork though.

   Nice quick show with a little more education than #1. I do enjoy how presently (#678) you take more to smell and taste the wine. Seems like each wine got about 15 seconds with you in this episode. But sometimes that first impression is going to be the only one you get so you have to make the best of it which the top ranked wines did.

   Hi Gary; I’m revisiting your earliest episodes starting with 1! Will watch 1 a day if poss counting upwards – my mission? To watch every one of course! Can’t believe it’s gone to over 600 – great news my man! Keep em going, you’ve been an inspiration and an eye opener for me and I;m learning from you all the time. Big respect and I’ll hopefully see you in the wine world in a couple of years! Tom, Plymouth, UK.

   Something that I think you should have emphasised early in this episode is that pinot gris and grigio are the same grape (and that gris is French for grey, and grigio Italian for grey)

   Interesting tip about the Pinot Gris, btw. Grigio is one that I haven’t explored too much. I’ll have to try some more this year.

   I love the early episodes. It was only 3 years ago, but Gary, you have become so much more descriptive and polished!

   I have to say that this was THE seminal show ( to me at least ), because you talk about trying different things, you categorize and give specific odors and flavors, great stuff here, this is definitely a great episode.

    good ep. i need to open myself to whites more. I think that pinot gris could do it for me.

    still subdued, not yet rolling with the thunder

    Man, where is the thunder!

    It is great to see how the show has progressed over time. What up with the sweater?

    Man, you threw with the order you rate these, especially with you rave on value!

    I’m so glad that you now put the price on all wines.

    It was weird seeing you all prep with the sweater……..:)

    In this episode Gary goes prep! Nice sweater, man. doesn’t really go too well with your punk/rap attitude of today (2/24/08).

    I’m seeing that these earlier episodes, while amazing in their own right with a learning curve, don’t offer as in depth taste analysis as later episodes- so kudos, Gary, on VASTLY improving. biggy up!

    Seriously, what did you mean about wine store taking returns? Did you mean that you could taste it and return if you didn’t like it or just return a duplicate, closed bottle?

    What’s that sound you make while tasting? Is it to aerate the wine, to get the taste into the lungs like with single malt scotch tasting?

    I see on this episode you use multiple cups. Isn’t this smarter than what you do now with rinsing out your one cup- isn’t this more wasteful? Why use wine to rinse when you can use a different cup?

    Things learned in this episode: it’s pino gri and not grigio; bottle shock does exist (never even heard of it before now!)

    keep it up, Gary, and get fa’shnikin and shiker!

    I’ve recently been having a great amount of fun sampling through many of Oregon’s Pinot Gris/Grigios; certainly one of the varietals I’m taking some time to experience. Really enjoy the Eyrie and Foris which makes a “Fly Over White” blend which I’ve taken to.

    Based on your tastings and recommendations there are several more Pinot Gris/Grigios I need to start trying!

    Great 2nd Episode and very diplomatic handling of the Santa Margherita.

    Still too Calm! It’s as if Gary lost his mojo.

    Not a massive fan of white, but I promise to try a Pinot Grigio next time I buy a bottle

    I’ve never been able to get a good handle on pinot grigio. Thanks for the reviewing of these bottles. It has given me more to go on when looking for this variety.

    These early vids are dead, they don’t play anymore please revive them!

    Pinot Grigio is Italian for pinot gris (French translation);(same grape.) This varietal is a mutation (not a clone) of Pinot Noir.

    Keep exploring = I’m all for it. But I must admit I feel like kind of a wine idiot not even knowing about Santa Margherita until now. So I will definitely keep exploring.

    Pretty good episode. It’s always nice to see a popular wine go up against some competition. I’m even in the top 10. lol.

    My working my way back over all these old episodes has been a fine education.

    Your diplomatic treatment of the Santa Margherita is interesting. It makes me wonder how the wine would fare in a blind test, where all you knew was the grape and the price.
