Wuu…tough crowd huh?

Nice short one Gary. Too bad the W wasnÂ´t up to standard this time around. Maybe in the next episode?!

All the best from Denmark

Groovay, I wish I was in Washington this spring. Is that a chalkboard in the background? What is this, the 20th century?

So now your dragging Mott around all over the world. Waiting to see the rest. Only two good white wines from this group so far. Assume the rest will be reds.

Wow, day 2 and I am still in the top 100. Sad!

Gary, I am not sure if I like the live format. I know in the end that you are still telling it like it is, but you seem a bit tentative. Must be very difficult to judge the wines when there is a winemaker staring you down.

Looking forward to the reds later today.

A 13 minute show that has to be continued….and without a QOTD? Love Washington reds, hope they do a little better in “Washington WLTV III”. I’ve had a few WA reds (and whites) on my blog over the past year, most have been well received.

Interesting episode! Like the live format, sounds like everyone is enjoying the tasting although I was a little disappointed in the white wine choices…there are better ones…hope the red-wines are better ….GV, love your honesty even infront of the wine producers….those wines wouldn’t bring the thunder for me at all…even the viognier.

Seriously…what is going on with iTunes? How come the shows aren’t making it over there anymore? This is seriously cramping my commute!

Hey Gary–I haven’t even finished watching this episode, but your sincerity from the get-go is overwhelming. I’m a big fan (have been since day one)–and it is shows like these, where you talk about how humbling this all is (having even one fan), that makes me misty-eyed! You bring the thunder 24/7–for this we are the lucky ones! And the wine, yeah, that too is only secondary to the bigger picture! Cheers from OH-HI-OH (let us Buckeyes know when you are coming this way!)

Hey! I like this format! It’s fun to know that the audience is tasting along with Gary. Ballsy to have the winemakers there to hear the big pazzzzz.

QOTD??????
What would you be drinking right now if you had no obstacles?

He, He; Looks like the flipside of voting day â€“ the East slumbers while the left coast provides the input.

QOTD: No, I’ve never had a Washington state wine. What am I waiting for? Dunno. This episode I guess.

Great 1/2 show Gary, I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

Your personal database of so chock full of sports trivia however do you find space for the vast catalog of wines in your head? An enigma wrapped in a mystery.

Hey GV one out of 3 ain’t bad, right ? Oh well, let’s hope the reds show a bit better. I like the live format though, that’s fun !

My own QOTD: who picked the wines for this taste off ? I can think of 5 other Washington white wines that would kill !! It’s all good though ~
