    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?

    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!!!

    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.

    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!
