How about Necco Waffers as a descriptive candy term? I think they particularly apply to Australian Shiraz.

Ditto on the birds. I thought that was the squeaking I’ve been hearing in the other episodes. A bit distracting and could live without (and I’m a former cockatiel owner, so I feel a bit guilty about saying that)…

Thanks for the episode and an interesting watch.

It would be nice to see you blind-tasting some wines that you don’t
even know before. Highly rated ones and QPR wines of the same style
mixed, all selected by your staff before. Should be interesting.

Great announcement! If I make it to the Wine Country in CA again, I would love to be part of a winery! Sweet! Nice cockatiel, why no mention?

After watching this episode I am going to have to go try one of the last two wines just to have an Austrailian Shiraz that isn’t an over-sugar-fied mess.

My guess is that Gary’s going to start a 24/7 cable tv station devoted to wine and wine reviews,

Lots of WordPress / host server issues when trying to refresh today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific. So…. I anticipate some kind of new, flashy online launch today. Can’t wait to see what’s up!
