    Dang! 4 and a half minutes and we’re out! Even in these first three episodes, I can see you getting more comfortable in front of the camera and more of your personality coming through. Very cool!

    Bought a 2005 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe CDP “La Crau” before it hit the top ten in WS Top 100 of 2008. Can’t wait to try it in 10-20 years and see how it evolves.

    I’m glad I am watching some old episodes, because this past weekend I purchased a couple Chateauneuf Du Pape wines. I have drank lot’s of american syrah and australian shiraz, but for some reason not from France.

    I look for this one in the future.

    Biggy up to the monks in Israel that teach wine making!

    Is that a reidel glass? you left the sticker on, Gary!

    do they make any of these “pops” kosher?

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

    2 Things – 1st the wall behind you is completely blank and boring – it’s weird to see how even your surroundings get more animated. 2nd – you left a comment with the users – something you don’t do anymore. I know you read the posts but you should leave some comments with us!

    Like to see that you’re carrying some of these wines which have a limited availability (outside of a few restaurants). I like the additional background you’ve provided concerning the winemaker; makes a wine more of an experience and these little details help form a lasting memory (particularly when heard while sampling a bottle).

    Wish I could get the opportunity to try this CDP, but I have a feeling it would be difficult to locate here in Washington State.

    Looks expensive…I’ll probably never be able to try this wine

    Emeril refernece, have to say, he ought to be referencing you as a notable personality in the near future. Too bead I didn’t see this when it was released, can’t buy Chateauneuf du Pape for that anymore.

    In later episodes Gary will dispense with preconceived notions.

    This is a video blog in search of a closing catchphrase!

    I like how you are trying wines that I may never otherwise hear about. There are so many winaries out there, it makes it so hard to find out about some of them.

    I love the Chateauneuf Du Pape but have not yet tried Caves De Colombe. Too bad it is out of stock at W.L.

    I’m becoming a huge rhone fan….love this episode. You seem so subdued though…can’t wait til the real Gary shows his colours.

    Hah! He’s using the same glass that he forgot to take the sticker off of!

    Ah the Caves, another good one! Reminded me of backpacking in France, 1992. Gary, you were what, 10 or something?

    I’ve enjoyed CDP’s at restaurants from time to time, but I’ve never made an effort to educate myself on the producers in this region. Although I’ve made it a common practice to pick out great QPR Cotes du Rhone wines simply because it isn’t to hard to score some great finds for under 15 bucks. I know that there are plenty of awesome CDP wines out there that can be had for about $40 a bottle. Not a huge jump in price, but a leap in enjoyment and complexity.

    Top 10!
    I do love those Chateauneuf Du Pape.
    And you still have some in stock!

    Gary,
    Loved the video, but can’t help but feel you left some important info out. Is the wine ready to drink? Could it stand some more time in the bottle? What changes could be expected in the wine with additional ageing?
