A very special episode? Is this the one where Gary tells us not to smoke? I saw that on Blossom once…

Wow, wow. You taste a lot of wonderful wines on this show, but I am now thoroughly jealous. That must have been one heck of a trip. Awesome. Can’t wait for the rest.

You should have asked the guys in the suits @ Margaux when they add the Mega Purple. I would have loved to see their reaction!

Gary, I’m 7 minutes in…you are at Haut Brisson….and this is GREAT!!! I love it so far and cannot wait to see the rest of Part I and Part II tomorrow.

One suggestion….I’m wondering if, when people appear, you can add text to let us know their names & titles. You can kind of figure it out, but it would be a nice addition.

and….I get a break from the SS….thanks!!

Yah. I suck! These comments are meant for Gary and not me. I like to read them before watching and……scrolling, you know. Nice 1st!

QOTD: First thoughts, because I’m only 10 minutes into the video, is that this is AWESOME. Since I do enjoy chatting up the winemakers, I find it comforting that you’re asking pretty much the same questions I do of winemakers and wineries. First vintage, what kind of oak barrels & how old, etc.

funny mole. I am not done.

Gary, are you able to strike deals there, or does the 3 tier system keep you on your toes? I noticed that your brain was working during tasting the rose at Haut Lafite. If you purchase all the allocation then ….well you would have it all.

Lots of questions.

so mole, thats why the first post was so sparsely worded. If I had anything to say/ask I would have needed to watch more than the 14 seconds I did when I noticed the 0 comments below. Could not resist.

Ouch! I was hoping for some action packed tasting, full of tasting notes & Quixotic quips from the VayNerChuckMan, but all I got was a nap!!! Two thumbs down. I couldn’t get past the first 5 minutes! Ouch!

QOTD – Good news is that I did need the sleep!

Gary, Interesting video. These people are very serious about thier wine as they should be. Palate fatique must move in quickly. I noticed no note taking, is that typical? or was the video shot at a seperate time of another go round? You looked like JFK at his desk while you were at Cos, hands on the desk and head down. My video froze while you were doing this and the guy with you had his head down as well. It got me thinking….it’s wine, Bordeaux, and here it is treated like States property, which I guess the French would say it is.

Good insightful job Gary.
