WoW!!!! Great show! I am basically a self-taught wine lover! After seeing this show, I will go out and buy several of the items you ate (and snorted!) and hopefully will improve my palate!

Thanks for taking one for the team!!!!

Wow, we just sat and watched the back episode. That is amazing on training ones palette. Thanks for taking one for the team Gary, I will bring this idea up to the group that we do wine tastings with.

I watched this episode, but did not think to write down everything. Is a recommended list published anywhere that I can use as a starter grocery list?

OK, seriously, you are TOO FUNNY! I laughed through this whole episode. I get your point, though, and I must say…it’s amazing what you will do for your fans! Of course, now I want to have a food tasting party but I think I’ll leave the cloves out….they seemed to do you in!

Totally worth the price of admission!
I love it – and am a believer now in developing one’s palate vocabulary through food… and dirt.

I just opened a Black Swan (Australia) Riesling, 2007 and found a new one… Sucret’s cough drops – not just any cough drop brand but the Sucret Mentholyptus. Whew – lots of bite!

wow. Love the ending. Just recently started watching some of your episodes. But I like it. Wrote about it on my blog: http://gary.katsevman.com/blog/2008/08/11/learn-about-wine-at-winelibrarytv/

been “lurking” for far too long…this is a great episode. I made a list and plan on trying everything. Do you know a grocery store in Atlanta where you can buy one of your socks and some NJ dirt?

if you do a new one, maybe try lychee, starfruit (ones I hear about), and then black-eyed peas and freshly killed deer (ones I tend to pick up in some wines…latter might be a little hard-core for the show). Or maybe, you could just do an “nose” show, and do gasoline, etc.

Keep up the good work, and please get Mangini to give the ball to Musa Smith…he did good things for my beloved Dawgs!

My favorite episode thus far! Love the expressions and I have to say that this is a really good idea. Thanks to your show (yes I went back and started from the beginning) I am really getting into noticing the different smells and tastes of the wines I drink.

I think I may just hit up the store for my own palate education class.

Hilarious. Facial expressions – priceless. I’ve been watching for just over a week, and I’m already enjoying my wine more. By the way, jalapenos really aren’t that bad. I’m sure some other Texans would agree.

Awesome episode! Like many people I started following you because of Rev3, and now I am hooked! The jalapeno, dirt and cristal were the best! Just a tip: NEVER NEVER NEVER drink water if you eat hot peppers and your mouth is on fire! It only makes it worse. I am sure most other Texans and other southwesterners were laughing their asses off at you for that. Try milk or a good heavy beer like Guinness. I know your a vino kind of guy, but Guinness works wonders for hot peppers!

Dude, you’re the man! lol.
I’ve just started following your program through Revision3.

Hey Gary,

Arrowroot is the stuff they make baby cookies out of. It’s a very subtile but good flavor. Try it again first.

You forgot Mellon (both honeydew and musk).
Excellent show. Looking forward to 499 and 500.

Thanks so much Gary for doing this for us. I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this particular episode over the past months, but each and every time, I feel inspired to continue to build my own palate (tried starfruit the other day). Besides that, the episode is a lock solid guarantee to brighten my day.
