Great episode. Ive only had one Bordeaux maybe in my life, and watching you talk about all these great wines is getting me all jazzed up to go out there and buy a bunch and let cellar. QOTD: I have none. Argh how sad is that? Ive been playing catch up so much I havent had time to meet people or have anything odd happen.

QOTD: This funny thing happened much later on. I attended the
500th show live from Crushpad in San Francisco. After having
Gary sign my book and meeting him only once. During the 500th
show he asked if in the 2nd wine andbody could smell the vanilla.
I raised my hand and Gary replied,”Thanks, Doug.” Now I am forever
referenced in the 500th episode of WLTV.

stumbled upon your website while searching Pauillac – and subscribed immediately.I googled Pauillac because: Im a South African wine lover teaching English in Hong Kong at Lan Chi Pat Secondary School and we are involved in a Chinese-French exchange program – thanks to a famous opera singer and a great wine from Pauillac!!! Our students are off to France on May 1st and will be guests of St Jean school in Pauillac. Unfortunately I won’t be joining them although I have the honour of preparing them for this wonderful experience.
How about trying some of South Africa’s famous wines on your show? My personal favourite is Diemersfontein Pinotage.

Thank you for the amazing show. I feel it’s fate that you tasted the ‘04 Pichon-Baron and I watched it today. It goes on sale locally today and I’ve been drooling over it every time I see it. I guess it’s time to pull the trigger.

Please review your decision not to ship to Washington State. It’s not really a law, just a request from the State to not send there. :-0)

Oh man. Watching you drink those made me yearn deeply for some.
I WILL be going out and buying some soon. And I’m going to have to work harder to support my habit. Damn you. [kidding]

Whenever I run into someone from Morris County, my natural question is if they know the Wine Library. They usually do, but are also usually ignorant of the WLTV aspect. So I become a WLTV cheerleader. It’s group dynamics after all.

With this in mind, perhaps we can vote on which episodes would best get a newbie hooked. I personally think it would be one with a combination of raves and pans and some variance from Parker and Spectator.

Perhaps a dedicated, easy-to-remember URL with links to a few prime point-of-entry episodes might prove to be worth the trouble.

Good episode.

QOTD: Sorry I have none.

My 2 cents:
What about the Languedoc ? I think it deserves more
attention because there is so much good stuff there.

QOTD: Gary, I’ve been evangelizing you and the show since almost the beginning. Lots more people are getting into quality wines than ever before and need a guide – a sherpa, if you will. Though I emphasize using their own palettes, I always recommend your show as fun, interesting, and informative. Here’s to many hundreds of more episodes!

Loved the tasting on Bordeaux. It took me back to my days there and late night drinks at the Burdigala bar asking the bartender (Jean) for his best cognac. Pauillac is such a special place. I totally relate to your excitement from the last wine in the episode. Great work!

Serious wines, serious review, I so need to try some good Bordeaux. Loved the Cork action, well aimed.

QOTD – My better half (significant other, she who must be obeyed etc) used to jump up as soon as she heard your opening lines “HELLO EVERYBODY….” and join in with the rest of the intro, it was very funny to watch. However recently you’ve been posting the episodes so late (for the U.K.) that she’s asleep on the sofa by the time you’re on.

Just checked my Bordeaux collection its at about 40% (Poy-Yack) pretty high considering there are 9 (out of 27) serious appelations in the Gironde. I almost popped my one and only ‘01 Pichon Lalande to sip along with you but since its pizza night..nagh. I’ll do a replay when I do.
I know what you mean about labels, my wife buys ANYthing that has a dog, cat, horse or crab on it. She drinks, and likes, this stuff called Blue Crab that tastes like the Kool-Aid pitcher guy took a drunken wiz in a bucket of vinegar. But then again she dunks her lump crabmeat into cider vinegar at crabfeasts, so there’s no accounting for taste. Hey! she married me. At least I don’t have to tell her to “Leggo my Margaux!”

Way to go, rooting for Bordeaux. I’m definitely more of an Old World wine gal (especially cause I lived in France for awhile), so I appreciated this show. Thanks for the tips on the solid, but not overly priced vintage yearsâ€¦Iâ€™ll have to search some of the thunder bringers.

QOTD: Just have to give you props for (indirectly) helping me get a job at a wine shop in Madison, WI cause I gave a shout out to you in my interview there. Just started and very pumped to be in this world, helping people choose wines, taste â€˜em, and let â€˜em know about your show.

Keep on bringing the thunder!

First time to see the show. Great show on Pauillac #301. You should offer the shows on DVD (1-100, 101-200, etc.) for review or for sale for newbies. Also you need a button where I can printout the wines for that show with ratings, pricing, and some comments. Great work.

2004 and 2001 are the vintages the discerning buyer will pursue rather than the 2005.
QOTD: I emailed a friend to watch the last Amarone episode, went to his home for dinner that weekend. He opened an Allegrini because he disagreed with your low score and wanted to re-taste it together…yes
