   Love when you call out the “next big things.”

   Also love this first appearance of “silliness” holding the glass up to the camera. THAT shows the color to me better than just holding it up in front of a piece of white paper.

   Love when you talk about wines or wine areas that are under the radar. Great to hear about something new. Vin jaunes out of Jura would fit in that category, that would be great to see you do.

   Nice Compact Episode!!! Been getting back into Italian Vinos lately myself after a long layoff. Never had a Maremma though. It’s on me Radar now…

   Gary,
   Even though the wine is sold out, it appears that it retails for $19.98 in your store when you were carrying it. Wonder if that is the current price or if when it sold out back in 2006, the website and price were never updated. Keep up the great work.

   Wow. That wine is crazy dark.

   Ha. The whole episode I was thinking, “Is that Eric breathing in the background?” I was not alone .

   Now I know what my wife experiences while I watch WLTV and she’s reading a book. With my headphones on, I apparently go into a deep trance and breathe really heavily. If he would’ve been laughing periodically, it would have been spot on.

   Excellent show. Here are some suggestions:

   1) purchase a remote microphone and turn down the volume on the camera. With a remote microphone, you can focus on what Gary is saying and not on the breathing.

   2) it would be great to talk about some of the history of the wines and the nutrients in the soil and how that influences the bouquet.

   so was your prediction true??

   sixth word “enthusiasm.”

   OK, I learned something today! I’m going to seek out this wine. But what I think would be REAL COOL, is for the show to go back and review wine, that you though would get better and some wines, you thought were not quite ready to drink when you tasted. Those would be a couple cool shows, you could link up the old show or shows, then we could watch the wines tasted after a year or two. No charge for that idea!! JUST DO IT!! Remember those old Nike ads?

    Aww, I like the spit bucket! Why would people want this left out? (then again, I am coming from watching some of the newer episodes) Good fake on the spitting, Gary, but why is it easier to taste when you spit as opposed to swallowing? I can subjectively taste better when swallowing because that really allows you to see the finish.

    This will forever be dubbed as the breathing episode!

    Did your prediction come true from then to now (2/24/08)?

    Gary getting “silly.” Do it more often.

    Love the show! Keep it up, Gary, and get fa’shnikin!

    Gary got “silly” for the first time. I did start hearing the camera mans breathing but wouldn’t have said anything until reading all of the other comments. The WLTV has improved in quality video tremendously!

    You better review this again in a few years and compare it…you say it will be amazing, I hope so

    I’m going through the back episodes. It’s pretty interesting to see how this GREAT show evolved. I really think this vid-blog going to become a very important…thing.

    And Gary starts to relax. Soon he’ll get into a rhythm.

    Super Bowl 3 on ESPN Classic great stuff. I will have to give this stuff a try I have not had much from Italy.

    LOL – pretty sure you can hear erik (spelling?) breathing throughout this whole video. Anyway, interesting ep – I have yet to try a wine from this region of Italy.

    Tell the camera man to stop eating the mic. Thanks.

    GV- everybody loves you so much now and respects your opinion that you can’t even buy this wine through WL anymore. Here’s my question of the day: is there anything from Maremma that we shouldn’t buy???

    Never heard of this….what are some producers to look for in this area? Remeber I live in the LCBO Communist governemtn controlled area so need something with some distribution. THanks

    AHH! The monkey had the camera again. You suck. You don’t really, and the show is terrific.

    wow, short episode. Thank you so much for the tip on maremma, though i’m not sure if it’s still a value now as it’s like a year and a half later. That’s exactly what I was hoping to find here, great values on italian wines because they tend to be really highly, and sometimes over-priced. I love what you’re doing here and really appreciate you sharing your expertise.

    Was just in Tuscany and didnt know about Maremma- bummer. Great show, thanks Gary. Maybe putting up one of the FIVE steelers superbowl victory plaques would be a nice change of pace.

    I’m more accustomed to the sangiovese wines from Chianti. This blend sounds interesting. I rarely taste anything more than medium bodied from sangiovese based wines. This style sounds intriguing. I’m going to seek out these wines. Opening up new doors Gary..opening up new doors.

    Great episode…nice breathing from Kastner can be heard, and the audio is sub par at best…classic!
