   So this was it. This is your crossover episode. I was wondering when it would happen. I’ve been watching your new ones as they come out, while starting from the beginning and moving forward till I made up the difference. After seeing the 1st episode, I was started wondering when that more extroverted, louder, more enthusiastic kind of in your face style I was used to seeing in the recent episodes, would start. And with that small break when tv exec’s were showing interest, and then that last episode with the New Zealand pinot, and your 1st qotd, I suspected you were on your way. This episode cemented it. It’s not as out there as your current ones are, but you can definitely see the seeds starting to sprout with this episode. Not that its any better or worse, but having noticed the difference, I was wondering when the progression would start.
   It’ll be nice to see the climb from the beginning here to how youo’re doing things now. Btw, I can’t wait to see that enthusiasm on a vin jaune or charbono episode. Oh and I did really like this episode too, thanks for the tasting notes Gary.

   Holy cow! I’m so happy I went trolling in the archives. This entire episode was worth it for the taste of Carlo Rossi. The look on your face at the end of the video is just priceless!

   Well done. WLTV rocks the house!

   I wonder if I can get any of the Susana. I love Big League Chew!

   I laughed so hard when I saw the Carlo Rossi come out from under the table. This is by far my favorite episode thus far! Thanks so much for doing this podcast Gary, you’ve already helped me pick out a few wines, and now I am going back to your older episodes and watching the progression of wine library tv. Keep up the great work!

   hahaha! I loved the “world-renown wine” at the end. Classic! This is why I continue to watch and catch up on the old episodes! I love seeing the zaniness come out in these first eps!

   Ok that was pretty funny to see at the end. We need more of that from time to time!

   I have had quite a few Argentinian Malbecs that I have really enjoyed (and a few I have not) – in general, a pretty decent QPR all around.

    I love malbec. In fact, I have one keeping me company right now. Good comparisons here. I liked the surprise tasting too. It would be good to see more like that in the future.

    Though I’m only up to #59 here I see definite changes going on. The way you pronounce your name changing, the animation, certain phrases popping into use. Very interesting to see how the show morphs. I think the comment above from Jaye sums it up pretty well- “Hmmm. When I first started watching today’s episode I was afraid you were on some kind of new meth-kick or something”

    You are a nutbag buddy….I love it…..Carlo Rossi. I want you to drink some baby duck or Matteus sometime.

    Had a Bodega Norton Reserve Malbec for $11.99- decanted 1 hour-delicious. Even got my “old world” father to get into it. Wine library TV is changing my wine world…

    My local wine store hosted a wine maker dinner this past Monday (2/26/07) and Susana Balbo was the wine maker. She was very nice, down to earth, and informative. We had 6 wines, among them an interesting Malbec Rose, her Crios Torrontes, and a Malbec Dessert wine that’s not available in the US. The Dessert wine was great and hopefully we’ll be able to get it here soon.

    I ‘am a huge fan of Malbec…i believe they are the BEST VALUES out there. Thanks for a great episode and i’ll be looking for more of them!
    Gary…you rock!

    Gary, can you send me a jug of that last wine … . Nah, funny move though.
    You should try the Malbec M ‘Gli Aceri’ of Paladin, a Veneto winery. It’s about 12 EUR/bottle, a real bargain and a very nice in between for NW/OW-lovers.

    Hi Gary,

    Have you considered an episode of jug/’big box’ wines and doing them blind (maybe with a ringer involved chosen by your staff). I think this would be really a fun episode although it might not be fun for the taster.

    Just a thought,
    Mike.

    Fantastic….swallowing the Rossi wrapped it up great!
    Malbec is one of the few lesser known grapes that I’ve been drinking for some time….thanks for the taste!

    Today I received a case of Malbec, the wine that smells bad and tastes good. Wine Library does a great job shipping in hot weather. The order was shipped from NJ to Little Rock over night.

    First time viewer. Found you from a link on http://fermentation.typepad.com.

    Excellent (and fun review) and a great surprise at the end. I’ve always wanted to sneak a glass of Rossi in at the dinner table to see if anyone notices. I may just have to do it.

    Gar, excellant surprise with the Carlo Rossi. You had me cracking up when you pulled that badboy out! Brought back memories of starting out on Carlo Rossi wine on the playgrounds of Newark from the HL’s. We’ve come a long way from those days. Also, way to have integrity and stick by your guns on your beliefs on the programming. Thanks for keeping it real and thanks for the show!

    Enjoyed the show- and the edge your walking on…
    I’m sure there are more old school viewers who could be taken back- but video blogging is not mainstream…

    Drank a Malbec last night – Navarro Correas 2004 — very nice… thanks to the US push for Malbec- some great deals are showing up on the shelves for wines that will soon jump in price…

    Request – still new to the wine world – could you spend more time talking about the wines – at the beginning – especially since I cannot stop by the store to buy the labels…

    What continues to amaze me about the show- is that it is done in one take – or without editing… cheers

    I really got scared when you brought up this canister.
