Hey Gary love the live aspect!! I also enjoyed seeing you sit there thinking of ways to not offend the $100 bone wine, lol…
QOTD: Family, Friends…

I think these might be be my favourite WLTV’s ever…it’s a close call between that and the Voga!

QOTD: Too many people to list

Couldn’t ever get camera 3 to come up for the blending session yesterday. This has been an interesting set of tastings. Not sure how I would feel as a winemaker putting my very expensive product up to be tasted live and then getting somewhat of a pan. 100 bones is way too much to put out for a flyer to me.

QOTD: My husband and two girls! Wow, had I known you were in Seattle, would have made an effort to come see you.

Thanks for the Boudreaux review. I took the gamble and got the Reserve. I’ll definitely cellar it for a few years. Agree with you that the regular cab is outstanding….have a heathly stash of that. I also tried the ‘04 Merlot recently, tres yummy. Overall Newsome’s wines show such amazing structure. I’m a fan too, and can’t wait for the ‘05 release…bring it on!!!

QOTD: My wife!

After seeing a few of these I really like the live audiences, though I do think it’s a little odd to have the winemaker in the crowd, for either a positive or negative review. But otherwise, Gary plays well to a crowd.

Boy that would be tough if you are a winemaker and you hated my wine. Cool idea though to have an audience.

Loved seeing the final blending session yesterday! It was really interesting…and great to hear that the juice is awesome! Hope you have a good trip back GV.

QOTD: My family of course.

GV: love the Gotti pull…I just bought 6 bottles of the Boudreaux 05 normal cab and I’m hoping for a better showing at 50 bones than the reserve you tasted at 100…but I think it will take a few years to get there.

QOTD. Mrs. Sassodoro. No question.

Good show, Gary. I know it can’t be easy to be less than enthusiastic while looking in the face of the person who made the wine. You were honest and tactful, and that’s a great combination.

Great show GV! Liked the live-format…sounded like everyone was feeling the thunder…missed the laid-back Friday. Part 2 was better than Part 1.

QOTD: My family.

Great show. I like the live audience.

Great video, good work with the live audience too!

You should get over the Australia and review some killer wines down here.

qod: interesting thing, noone has said they love themselves the most. You know yourself the most and hopefully try to make the most out of yourself. Also, if you can’t love yourself ‘to’ the most, how can you give the most? I think most people think they are selfish if they feel this, but I feel they should think on it.

Nice roadshow format, although the Qwest field show had more scenery.

QOTD – Sarah of course, but she only just pips my mother & father into a joint second.

QOTD: easy enough… My father, my mother, my brother, my best friend, and then my grandparents. you&me, we are the freaking wine world.

BTW Erocia drinks like Kool Aid, very easy drinking wine and I love it. I think you were a like hard on it, but true the QPR is ridiculous for this type of wine. Great Reislings coming out of Washtington, but the Cabernet Sauvignon are a bit pricey and fruity. Alexander Valley has the corner on Cab.

Great new locations for the show. In anser to your question: my wife, best friend, dompanion, lover it is no contest and I wish I could stay home more with her to be with her, but unfortunately the Social Security System takes out so much from my check that it steal hours away each day that I should be with my family and enjoy wine with them. I know this is not a political arena, but the government “do take a bite” and it interferes with what life is all about: relationships and that is what wine is about – relationship of terroir to the final product – wine. Keep it coming, you are doing a great job of educating the wine drinking public.

Gary,
People in the wine bizz love feed back (i mean real feedback) and you gave it to them, that is outstanding. America needs to chill out with the crazy prices. Napa is out of control, the rest of the countrty should start low than slowly rase there prices.

QOTD – Easy, My wife without her I would be in a gutter somewhere. She is my muse.
