great episode Gary. really liked 2 things. Great doing the 2 burgundies side by side. I think that’s when you really can tell the quality of a varietal, when you taste 2 of the same side by side. Whereas if you have a pinot blanc and a gewurtz side by side having never had either before, you just about learned nothing. Also nice to see you taste the monstant yesterday and try it again the next day to see how its evolved. Easily one of my favorite parts about wine, seeing its evolution.
Would love to see an episode where you taste vin jaune’s and leave it open to see how it evolves. Then retaste it again a day later.

Just checking out some of the old episodes I had forgotten about. I am going to open my Can Blau this week. Love the shirt. See if you can dig it out for an upcoming episode.

this was a very fast paced episode – good to see a head to head comparison.

If I was to find this same set of wines now, would you expect the experience to be drastically different? Even if they were the same vintages?

This is (I believe) the first epispode where you rinse out your glass with the wine you are about to drink, and then proceed to dump it into the bucket. Right on!! Now here’s my question – have you ever tried pouring the contents of the spit bucket into a glass and sampling it?

p.s. i did – it was terrible, but… always learning.

Again, GV, where did the six packs go? I would SO do this here and now in 2007. I rate this episode an 89. Very approachable, but there is just something that is holding me back from giving it a 90. Oh yeah, it is because I don’t have the wine to taste here in 07. Much love…

4 comments……where was all the love in the old days???
I need to do this with some White burgundies as it is an area where my knowledge base is very low. Thanks!
