    Awesome guest…nice to have very knowledgeable guest in the show…..

    QOTD:

    I will try to decant…..decanters are expensive over here…does a decanter has to be made of glass? Can I use a plastic?

    I liked this episode quite a bit. Great to see Mr. Davies come in and through down some thoughts and knowledge about wines. QOTD: A good question, and I would answer “not” because I dont own a decanter. Sad, I know. I look at them at my wine shop but theyre so damned expensive. Im torn between buying a nice one that looks great and will stand up to years of use, and a cheap one that serves its purpose.

    I’ve been dying to try some wine from St. Emilion and its adjacent areas.

    I did just pick up a red blend from South Africa that has 4% Petite Verdot. Can’t wait to try it.

    I just watched this again as its one of the few episodes I haven’t deleted from my ipod after viewing. So cool, I wish my highschool or university guidance counselor had steered me to an exchange in France, how could you not love his job/life?

    Jeff Davies is the best in the world when it is to select wines.
    I watched him tasting wine and he is truly an Expert.
    I will always drink JMD wines. They are the best.

    Mr. Davies seems like a really cool guy, someone who’s brain you would want to pick! I would love to see him on the show again in the future.

    QOTD: I am absolutely going to decant the next bottle of wine I have, maybe the next few bottles even. :)

    Just got to this episode finally, and loved it!

    QOTD: I am going to decant the red bordeaux from the x-mas pack that I will be drinking in a day or two…still haven’t gotten around to all 4 bottles yet due to strep throat. :(

    awesome episode! I guess I’m one of those wine nerds that loves the higher content/learning shows. QOTD: My girlfriend and I were just saying as we watched the show that we need to decant more. We will.

    Great episode! Really, really enjoyed it.

    QOTD: I shopped online for a decanter and am going to place my order in a few minutes. Sad to say we’ve never decanted a wine, good thing I don’t have too many to look back on and think, darn.

    We will going forward :)

    LOVED the episode.
    I used to pop and pour. I wanted to learn how the wine evolved. I have learned. I no longer do. Especially bordeaux.

    QOTD: A reason not to decant? Cause it may be sparkling? hah. Kidding. It will be decanted.

    superb episode! Thanks Jeffrey, you were great! QOTD: why not? I sort of do, already. I generally plan ahead, and pour ahead of when I will be drinking. I pour into a wide rim glass about 30-60 minutes before I start tasting. Functionally, that’s sort of like decanting, isn’t it?

    Love the show, :) I should buy a decanter then tonight to answer your question of the day, that champagne looks pretty good, might buy it for New Years ! Keep it up Gary !

    Awesome, EPIC, episode!!! Thanks to Gary and especially Jeffrey.

    QOTD: I am so totally on board with Jeffrey’s concept of “decant and drink”. Just about every red wine I serve at home I decant – even if it is a fairly inexpensive wine. Try it and you will be surprised at how much more you will enjoy your red wines.

    Great episode. One of my favorites in recent memory. It’s amazing how much knowledge Mr. Davies has about wine.

    QOTD — I decant wines that I think need it. I don’t decant every bottle — like everyday drinking wine. I decanted a 2002 Pontet-Canet the other night, and it did evolve nicely…

    Jeffrey Davies is awesome! I wish everyone in the wine world was like him!

    QOTD: I promise to decant the next bottle of wine I open… because I’m working tomorrow night and I have to decant every bottle that I open for my customers…BUT I’ll do it for the next bottle I open for myself at home as well!!

    One of my favorite episodes, what a rockstar guest! Jeffrey has a dry but great sense of humor and Gary, either you weren’t paying attention or you missed about half his jokes.
    Wow! I want a rock. Too bad it took me so long to get around to this episode. Oh, by the way, decanted a bottle of wine for my family tonight (but kinda cheated, it was at the urging of Gary for the last of the Christmas 4-pack wines).
