Agree with Neil, Caleb, PJB, RRay and others… music! flowers and freaks. The SF sound, Jimi, Winterland, Fillmore, Avalon… that same wine, (maybe?) with bread and cheese on Mt Tam. Oh yeah, and the Grateful Dead on the back of a truck!

Thanks to that cool cat who “brung the wine” Love the show as always.

QOTD1: ’60s cars. Although the ’70s crushed it, ’60s music was good. (Check out the “Nuggets” box set.)

QOTD2: Can’t make it tomorrow. Have fun!

QOTD: My favorite thing about the 60’s was the revolutionary ideas and political changes. We need some of that spirit today.

QOTD2: Can’t wait!

Nice to see some old wines like those. Too bad I can drink some like that my self.

QOTD: Can’t really think of anything from the 60’s that I like. I’m sure there must be something but I wasn’t born till 80. If I could try that wine that would be something.

No 1966? I feel slighted. That’s when I was born. Must’ve been a bad year!

Nice Show Gary… Very Interesting to see how the older wines aged in consecutive years.

QOTD#1 – My Parents met in the Sixties, so I’m a pretty big fan of that. Plus one of the greatest bands of all time formed and released their first album…LED ZEPPELIN. Simply Magic on both accounts.

QOTD#2 – Alas, as a VAYNAIC from the Left Coast and the GREAT WHITE NORTH to boot… I will not be in person at the Mothership tomorrow in the Dirty JERSEY. But I promise to live vicariously through all those in attendance and wish everyone in the Nation, the VAYNERNATION the most wonderful of weekends.

Hi Gary,

I’m Kent Wah-nuh-may-ker. I’ve been a lurker, now I’m exposing myself! I really appreciate what you’re doing here. De-mystifying wine is so critical to expanding the numbers of folks who venture in. Back in the 80’s I worked in the grape-growing business in California – our grower association did a promotion based on the theme; “The best kind of wine is the kind you like”. That seems to mesh with your mantra “Trust your palate”. The most fun aspect of wine for me is when I travel, I love to get into the countryside and sample the local wines that are made solely for local consumption. Some amazing stuff.

I really enjoyed your show featuring the wines from the 60’s. I’ve got a few bottles from the 60’s in my cellar and pull one out from time to time to drink with friends. Like your experience today, I’m surprised how few clunkers I come across compared to the number that are still holding up, like the little ladies in their hats who cruise the shops and try to appear stylish.

I loved this ep, Gary.

As for QOTD: The internet! ARPAnet was born in ‘69– the 60’s are directly responsible for changing the wine world, too.
