I saw this episode in the past favorites and had to watch. It's funny, I was just talking to my wife about needing to do something like this. I hear you and others talk about the smell of cassis or other spices and have never tasted them myself. I remember seeing you on the Ellen show doing this. That is when I knew you would be HUGE. Major props! Josh OH My!

Trying the jams really helped me identify and finely get what everyone else was talking about. Hey Gary,

Just got to this episode in my journey of watching a bunch of back episodes. Definitely one of the all-time greats. I am totally with you Gary--tasting, smelling, and committing all this info to memory so you can access it in the most visceral way when it comes to tasting wine. The only way to know blackberry is to have tasted blackberry...Not sure if you've done it already (still going through a bunch of old episodes) but I think a sequel is definitely in order. Things I would add to the taste party: crackers, graham crackers, chalk, gooseberry, cantaloupe, carrots, watermelon, lychee, rose petals, violets, lemongrass...theres so much to LEARN!! Also, classic ending--if you have any more Cristal to spare...maybe a contest?! HAHA WOW. Just got to this episode in my journey of watching a bunch of back episodes.

This is just what I needed. I drink wine and just don't get it sometimes. Someone else will say what they are tasting and I just nod my head. But now I know why - I need to train my palate - maybe not quite the way you just did but I will be paying more attention to the foods I eat and try somethings I never would have before.

I was actually drinking some mango flavored coconut water and you inspired me to give it a 'sniffy-sniff', and wouldn't you know it... I completely recognized it from many wines I have tried in the past- it was the mystery note that I was familiar with yet couldn't place. Thanks again!

All for the cause ~~ I would definitely add flowers to the profile. To me a great viognier has an unmistakable honeysuckle element, and violets is of course core to many of the French reds ..
