    Enjoyed the show. When I hear “shiraz”, I think $8 wine served at the Chamber of Commerce monthly mixer. It’s great to see and hear about the high end stuff from Oz.

    Last comment I ragged on picky people, but boom boom fruit bombs from downunder are a group of wines I need to try more of.

    Only thing is the high scores rock the house but those money bomb prices aren’t gonna cut it for this POH bastard.

    GREAT SHOW!!! Without a doubt, one of my favorite episodes ever. I did not comment yesterday because I’ve been so freaking busy, but the Dolceto episode was really wonderful. Wine Library TV has been a part of our daily lives for the last year and a half, and we have a lot of expectation about tomorrow’s announcement. My answer to the QOTD is; Gary’s (and Lizzy’s) baby is about to be born. Concepción’s answer is: Gary is changing the show’s set. We shall know soon enough. It’s all fun!

    So THAT is where the chirping comes from!! I was so glad to see the rest of the office. Very cool episode. I should try my own blind tasting next time I open more than one bottle.

    Fun episode, wasn’t a huge fan of Aussie SHiraz 2 years ago, I thought they were TOO BIG, not I enjoy them when the time is right. DO more blind tasting, it is fun.

    I put this in the thread too, but you know i have to give you comment love.
    QOTD:I think it has something to do with a revamp of CORKD!! CORKDTHUNDER.com maybe.

    that is my prediction

    You gave us two episodes, so I’ll give you two comments ;) It’s the least I could do for ya. I enjoyed watching you taste some of the better juice from down under. Blind tastings are great lol. I’d like to see you do a blind episode with a few different syrah based blends to see if you can nail them and of course to give us your notes on them :) I know that down there in Aus. they’re really experimenting since they don’t have to follow the same kinds of guidelines other areas of the world do.

    I’ll leave the Australian wines to you and Parker. Every bottle I’ve tried has the same distilled water flat taste with some grape juice concentrate and a little vodka. I’m surprised they scored so high. They must have a huge mark-up, oh well, that’s business. No idea about tomorrow, a new set?

    Wow, a bonus episode is just what I needed today! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve been predicting for a while that Gary Vaynerchuk will be adding the title of ‘winemaker’ to his resume. What do I win if I’m right?

    WHOA! TWO eps in one day — first double-header ever?
    What’s the word, Darlene O.? RIDONKULOUS!

    For giving us the 2-in-1, for copping to the Sherry goof, from the first swirly-swirl & sniffy-sniff to the last tasty-taste, I say RIGHT ON, GAR’!

    And if what I heard about tomorrow’s show is true, I can’t WAIT for the Vaynereactions!

    hey gary, how about doing the wine tasting with your viewers, but dont tell them your score on a certain wine or a couple wines, and the person who is the closest to your score wins it, then if there are more then one person with the same score, then you pick it out of a hat, makes it a little more interesting!!!

    Two episodes at a time is almost as good as two………………….

    Gary, Ryan may be right about his Sherry comment, but he dropped at least 3 or 4 typos in his short post. So you keep on rollin’ with your humbled but brilliant self, ’cause you’re kickin’ ass and taking names, whether you like it… or not!
