QOTD: I havent signed up yet but WILL, but without honestly knowing I will guess here. Are you making your own wine? Come on, you can tell me. I swear being a year late I havent read comments or looked at episode #305. Really. Anyway, I enjoyed the episode. I always like it when you do blind because youre always surprised at the results, which is of course one of the points of it. The 2nd wine sounds like my favorite, because I would mind being torn loose in a candy shop. Fruit bomb + candy = Happy me.

Oh Sweet Shiraz! This is the 2nd time I've watched this episode and I was still surprised!

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?

Wow !!!!, blind tasting following the results I can see why ... now out searching for some Yalumba Octavis 2002 in Oz, can't wait and will compare your notes with my mates !!

Too late to guess the announcement, but I knew it was worth the wait.

Big G, I had a shiraz tasting and the Octavius won by a landslide. It is my Favorite Shiraz.

QOTD: I know the announcement has been made, but I haven't seen it yet. My prediction: WINE IS PEOPLE!!!

nice one gary, only comment is the kilikanoon you said is the R reserve but on the screen is oracle...... 2 different types of wines......

but will try the octavius...... hmmm had a thought of getting R reserve

Gary great show, love the Aussie wines. Yalumba Octavius Shiraz is my fav as well. Haven't had the 02 yet though. Cheers ~~~

GV,
EXCELLENT!! Must do more of the blind tasting. It is an excellent wa for us Rookies to learn. Keep it coming.

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.

Gary is finally going Fundamental Southern Baptist. No more wine for him...poor guy.

I just wish he would hurry up with what ever it is.....this is killing me. This had better be good Gary.

Are you kidding me. shut the forums down :(
How dare you

Why shut down the forums? Need to free up server space?

THEY SHUT THE WHOLE FORUMS DOWN! WHAT THE HECK! :)

I say we move the conversation in here!

Congrats on the cable TV gig. Can't wait to watch you on the big screen.

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!

One word... BEERLibraryTV!!!!!!!!

WOOHOO!

the bottle is empty?!

sad or .... hm. we'll see.

This is taking soooo long!

QOTD, Gary is gonna come out with his own wine!

Hi Gary. I've been "lurking" for a few weeks now (read about your show in Slate). Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy the show and have been learning a lot. I was going to register for a wristband (but did not) but noticed that you are wearing a Vassar shirt in the photo that appears when you click on the link. Did you go there? I was class of 1985.

Do you think that Pennington's shoulder will make it through this season?

Just got your e-mail. I am scared!! Have so enjoyed the last year and afraid it is about to end. Have to go watch my kid play volleyball and then will rush home to find out what's up.

... reminds me of that old joke:

How do you keep a fool in suspense for 24 hours?

Whoa, a bonus show, sweet!!

QOD - Probably that heat show you've been promising for 298 episodes. Oh wait, I forgot about the rooftop-bottle episode. Hmm...guess I have no idea.

QOTD- I have no idea, but whatever it is, it better be changing da Wine World. If not, it will be a BIG disappointmen! I may have to kick you in the balls too! (whether you like it or not)

Wait....... I've got it:

Your finally going to do the Temecula show......Awsome. :)

-Mike

TELL US NOW!

Sorry everyone: Ive just got the Exclusive In !!!!

Gary's going to be the offical Gatorade Taster for the " Giants "
That's why he was tring to promote the Sherry !

It all makes sense now ?

QOTD: If youre going to TV, dont forget your international fans!! Keep up networking! Todays episode was juicy!

I hope the big news is that you are getting a tv show on the food network or something. What ever it is I can't wait.

QOTD: Tv show!!! Awesome...wristbands?
