    I thought you were going to make him jump out of his skin with your opening!

    Wow! very informative and fun.
    Prob decant 40 percent but know I should more, especially if I can find a couple of those plastic decanters Dave was talking about

    I agree… I would have liked to hear what he had to say more. I did enjoy the show though. I would have used the rocks for a display case for that wine, rather than giving them away, but hey, you’re a generous guy!

    QOTD: wasn’t really a question as much of a request, but… I started decanting less than two months ago and it made a BIG difference. Used to be that by the time half the bottle was gone the wine was finally showing its true colors. Now we get a much better impression from the beginning. But that isn’t the question, is it. Why not? Because you’re at a restaurant and they don’t decant. The question should be, why don’t restaurants decant?!

    Gary, as a budding wine-nerd I thank you for the show, Jeffrey speaks so softly but with such authority and confidence. I especially liked the way he was totally unfazed by your peculiarisms (spinny spin?) and your P-V tangent! 8)
    QOTD – Yes. Will do, I am pretty sure I don’t decant enough and have been thinking that each bottle of red I’ve had recently tasted better the next day.

    Several people asked where to find inexpensive decaters. Crate and Barrel and Amazon.com are the best deals I have seen, but you can probably find them at Target too.

    Great episode!!! Keep the guests coming, especially people like Jeffery. Great knowledge and the interaction was right up there with you and your dad.

    QOTD: Decant whenever time and memory allow. Always regret when I forget.

    Fanatastic show today Gary. Jeffrey was great and the interaction between the two you was terrifc. This was a show for “Wine Geeks” and I’m pround to say that I be one!

    QOTD: It is a rare red that I don’t decant and some whites.

    I really loved this episode. Instant classic! Will watch again. Really enjoyed Jeffrey Davies. Guests are great. Keep them coming.

    QOTD: Decant, Decant, Decant. I do for some more “special” bottles, but should more often for exactly why Jeffrey Davies said. Thanks!

    I always prefer my wine decanted.

    Minneapolis StarTribune newspaper has an article in todays paper quoting GV.

    I try to decant the majority of my red wines. Last night I drank the valpolicella that was on the show recently-decanted for 3 hrs-very good

    Very cool episode!! Great guest, lots of wine knowledge dropped in this show…really good!!

    Q: I always try to decant or at least pour a glass and let it sit. Makes a huge difference.

    Sweetness. Loved your reaction when he said oak was like makeup! It wasn’t too long ago I heard that here on the Thunder Show now was it?

    QOTD: I’m already planning on decanting tonight! And on an inexpensive wine at that. “04 Capezzana Barco Reale di Carmignano $12 and I know it does great with decanting!

    Thanks for the visit Jeffrey

    QOTD – Just bought one (decanter) about two months ago… and yes I will be decanting over the holidays!

    My question to Jeffrey and you – would you decant a “regular” bottle of wine? Like a Greg Norman Cab or a Raven Wood Merlot??? (Not that you will answer the question – but I have to be a wisen himer too)

    Gary! Great show – why not have more of these??? There is MY QOTD TO YOU!!!

    Cheers!

    QOTD I do not decant all my wines, but do so on the majority of French/Italian wines – and almost all of my wines over say…..$20 bones.

    Great episode, Mr Davies seems like a very humble, nice, all around great guy!

    QOTD: Because my girlfriend shattered my decanter. Do they sell plastic decanters?
