    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    Gary!! So great to meet you in person. Enjoyed being able to attend a live taping of your show – very cool. ๐Ÿ™‚ Thought you were right on with your reviews of the whites. Disappointed that they didn’t present you with a better array of what WA has to offer! I look forward to seeing the reds portion of the show. Hope you get back to see us again real soon!

  • Hey Gary,
    Sorry I missed you in Seattle. I am trying to open the tasting room in Prosser, WA and getting married next month back in Kansas City. TOO MUCH on the plate. Well you know what that is like. Great shows as always. You mentioned Albarino. Obviously you didn’t forget I mentioned it. Next week we will be planting 7 acres of it in a real sweet spot in the Yakima Valley. Very excited to start making some of this. Been a fan for years. Will definitely send a sample in 2010 from the tiny amount we get on second leaf.
    Have a great weekend.
