I love that you would like to hear from us for ideas for shows. There are 2 I would love to see: 1. a Charbnono tasting. A grape in Napa most people aren't aware of, and a very rare grape, as I'm sure you know. Only made by about 13-18 winieries I believe, with a few turning out stellar examples for the price. 2. Vin jaune. The infamous yellow wine out of Jura, France that barely anyone I now had heard of. Very hard for me even to find, I have only found one distributor who has yellow wine. That was after looking through and talking to the wine reps of about 20 distributors. And they only had vin jaune from 2 producers. But I would love to see shows on those 2 far above anything else that I haven't seen you do so far. But of course, still looking forward to all your new episodes Gary. Great episode Gary.

This was a die hard fan only show. (a little to dull for most) But I'm a DHF so it's all good! I am very interested in seeking out the Renard – not a producer I am familiar with.

Soooo much reminds me of my days in NYC, when the police turn on the siren for every little where what and why. And who know, maybe it was even an emergency.... I'm still plowing through the episodes one by one. Without jumping the gn, i'm wondering if you are going to set me straight as to the relationship between petite syrah and syrah (if any...) cheers -e well, i must say, i love the siren in the background.

The 100 point scale shows up for the first time and there is an excellent description of what that means. I am actually kind of impressed that you were able to hold out this long before using the scale. But you did hand out that 91 pretty easily though. I have serious doubts whether or not that would happen today:) Good episode. Telling friends about it now. There are many classics out there but this might be one of them.

I can't believe only 5 comments, very interesting how much you've grown recently. I'll try to get there on Sat., would love to meet you. I was just there tonight, so not sure, but will try.

German wines? What can I say? I love Riesling. Spanish reds have been my value reds that I have been exploring lately. I try a lot of wines from California simply because it's about half the inventory at most wine merchants. I don't usually look to California when I want a Syrah based wine though.
