Great show Gary! I have been lurking for a while, and this wonderful episode has to make me say hello! Loved it, light, refreshing and a tad silly, as it should be! can’t wait for tomorrow’s! Thanks for keeping it real! Jim

Joanne was as sparkling as the last bottle. Thoroughly enjoyed her. Keep the guests coming, although they should probably be more than annual wine drinkers.

A comely wench, but alas poor Vaynerchuk, methinks she is taller than you! Nice break from the routine — good to see a LADY grace the WLTV set. Need to brush up on my French and replay that early segment.

QOTD: Tea

But seriously, that was interesting. I’m not sure it completely worked. The last half worked for me much more than the first. Joanne was a great guest, but I felt only 50% of the time (I’m sure she’s a great person 100% of the time, I mean 50% as a guest). Maybe wine-related guests work better in the format of the show? Though I’d watch a few more non-wine-related and see if it’s just me.

I’m have to largely agree with Rajiv A and Glenn and KarenP … I love the idea of guests (your father, for example, was fantastic), but the “Hehe, I’m drunk after sniffing it.” approach isn’t something I enjoy; in fact it’s rather irritating. I’d much rather see people who drink wine (at least semi-)regularly and can have fun without giggling the entire time.

Now, to disagree with Rajiv A, I don’t think it’s a European thing. Besides that there are many Europeans who don’t drink wine at all (some areas, e.g., Sweden, parts of Germany, are much more beer-centred), I know many people who are ignorant and unafraid to admit it. Finally, although I didn’t particularly enjoy what Joanne brought to WLTV, I don’t know that I’d call her inexperienced given that she spent a good deal of time growing up and drinking wine in France … perhaps out-of-practice is a better word ;~}

Great episode GV and Joanne! I like the theme here, some of these guests compliment Gary in a way that brings some regular wine folks to the table, makes us feel like we are there more.
QOTD: I have no frickin idea…a bunch of squabling kids.

Don’t listen to the naysayers… I LOVED this episode. It is refreshing to see something different.

Loved the show GV. Gave me some really good belly laughs. You have to let us know if Lizzy was jealous.

Isn’t it funny, just when you decide to lose the sniffy sniff (which i enjoy) you get someone on… that gets drunk just sniffing wine. Hmmm.

She was great. Nice show.

GV, I have to agree with Rajiv A. Todays show was fun and light but I really didn’t get alot from it. I sign on to learn about wine. Bring on guests that will be a little more serious.

Yea GV very different. Lots of laughs. The Finca is a great wine. The Brit was sensational.

QOTD: I think it was a blue shirt.

Interesting episode – looking forward to more guests in ‘08.

nothing sexier than a beautiful woman talking about wine…i’m now on a new found mission! Now, back to the show.

Well, I didn’t catch the question of the day, but the REST of the show was terrific!!

That was really fun.

QOTD: I didn’t catch that…

Joanne is really an angel to the show. Please keep inviting more guests!
(And more of them from Europe!!)

Loves me some Finca! Joanne the British dynamo was quite refreshing. As a matter of fact having a newbie occasionally on the thunder show really gives a neat perspective.

QOTD: Yes I’m quite a fan of fish and chips.
