Gary – I was getting caught up on some of the back episodes and ran into this one. Your brother AJ is awesome!!! You should have him on the show again.

QOTD: I have 2 older sisters, one lives in Maine and the other in San Diego and they are both awesome. My sister in Maine, her husband’s job title is “Chief Lobster Biologist”, how AWESOME is that?!?!

Just watched this and was laughing out loud. I can’t tell you how many people that I know who taste wine and have the exact reaction as your bro. Also, great family dynamic with you two.
Keep tasting AJ, you will soon be hooked

Dare I say classic episode? How fun to watch AJ get nothing on the wines. Im damn sure ( even sometimes today ) the first wine you would have shoved under my snoot I would have said “alcohol” as well. Im happy to see he had a good experience overall and I hope hes trying new wines to this day. Happy 21st, AJ! QOTD: Only child, which is a good thing if you know me.

This is coming about 5 months late, but I just saw this episode and wanted to tell AJ “it’s all good” because I don’t taste all those different flavors in the wines either and I’ve had way more than 4 wimpy glasses of it! No hard feelings! Though I’m sure by now you’ve had plenty of wine-experience, AJ. I guess we need to go lick some rocks and eat some dirt before we’ll be tasting like your big bro. Oh well! Keep trying!

Nice job AJ and hapy B-day.
Intersting that GV picked out a wine with your birth year for just this occasion.
I have done this for my kids and I have 1990 Chave Hermitage, 1991 Beringer Private Reserve, 1995 Insignia or Lynch-Bages, and 1998 Mouton Rothschilde.

QOTD – My older sister Lucy is my rockin’ sib. She is an attorney in NYC with an IQ off the charts. She likes to taste wine and share experiences with family!

GARY: I know you’re always complaining about lurkers, and I’m sure you’ve heard my excuse before (I watch on iTunes many days later [I sort of binge] and thus am always off-time), but I just needed to let you know that I literally e-mailed this ep to my mother and said “get me those first two for July 8th” (my 21st). I’m torn between seeking out sugar cane and all those things and seeing what they smell like beforehand. Maybe I’ll just get with the whole “training your palate” program beforehand.

QOTD: I’m the elder, and AJ, I sort of want to set you up with my sister, who is 18.
