    “The noise that the glass makes (against the table) when you swirl the wine is very annoying”

    You are kidding, right?

    Gary, you are doing a great job with this, I wouldn’t granulize the suggestions. I would love to see a show on the progression of aging, preferably Cali Pinots, Williams Selyem comes to mind.

    Again I want to start out by saying that I enjoy the WineLibraryTV episodes and I think you are doing a great job at introducing a lot of new and different wines to your audience. But I do have one small criticism. The noise that the glass makes (against the table) when you swirl the wine is very annoying. I suggest you either lift the glass when swirling or cover the table with a cloth.

    Gary… I get a feeling that you’re starting to rush into and out of the blogs. Can I recommend that you take a deep breath before starting an episode? I know you have lots to cover in a short time Iin addition to your other duties) but I think if you compare your recent episodes to the earlier ones you’ll see what I’m talking about. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

    Gary,
    great episode! Chinons are such a great food wine that not enough shops carry. Perfect with grilled sausage, peppers, and onions. Also, if you haven’t tried any, I’d recommend cab francs from the Finger Lakes. I usually don’t like the Finger Lakes red wines because they tend to be watered down, but cab franc is a big exception. Dr. Frank’s is usually pretty good, as are Miles Wine Cellars and ravines. Always tough to find those wines outside of new york though. Keep up the good work.
