Hey Gary,

I always enjoy your shows and I am generally a lurker, but none the less, I think the shows are great. I wanted to invite you to Lexington Kentucky next week for the Kentucky Wine and Vine festival. It is the largest annual festival in Kentucky, and my company is also one of the corporate sponsors. You have many fans and I am certain you would be warmly welcomed. If you are interested, I will gladly send all the information for the three day event.

Hey

QOTD: Don’t know, but I’d say A LOT judging by the amount of draft Presseco on sale in Hong Kong.

This sounds like a great idea for a restaurant.

New opening logo. I like the graphic, but the shrinking effect is a bit odd. Keep the logo, but start with the whole logo on screen.

My QOTD would be…
are serious wine producers seriously going to go this route?
Obviously that has been the case with the screw caps. We’ll see.
Thanks for pushing the envelope yet again.

Gotta think outside the bottle – different formats, that’s the future of wine. Cool stuff.

Kegs! Italy – 150K

Didn’t look it up. I thought the screw cap was a shocking development! Man this is totally nuts. Belly wash wine for 10 bones shows you the cost of doing the Keg though. It is an expensive investment to buy those things and you aren’t going to wait 30 years for your payback!

The 12.99 for the bottles is a red herring if I ever saw it. They don’t want to sell bottles. I wish Gary had tasted the bottle wine too.

great show. Like you said GV, THIS guy IS changing the wine world. thanks for bringing this to the group. I could see my Dad going for a keg ‘o the red, but he’d rather have the 2 buck chuck Shiraz version for $30 bucks. Make mine a good old vine Zin and you’ve got a customer.

I like seeing new stuff (to me) like this. This is “strong” for a party, I may use one for July 4th!

QOTD: 1 million

DC is out!

Interesting show – interesting keg concept. I just want the keg!

J Crazy
awesome!! I saw a bit about Mas in Wines and Vines a few months back and thought the idea was brilliant especially for sports bars where, if the keg is displayed, they novelty would definitely help sell it. I’m glad GV asked them to push the quality, too. Let’s get some big time ballers together throw some Romanee Conti in there are have a tailgate royal style.

QOTD: No f’in clue.

I got to get me some of that!

Cool idea…I’m like you, though GV, I would like to see a little bit better quality wines going in. OR… have a wine keg that will allow you to add whatever wine you want to it.

QOTD: 3000

We live in San Francisco and have enjoyed MAS wine by the glass in several restaurants locally. It’s consistently good, well priced, and in a very cool package. SF prides itself on being cutting edge and green, and MAS wine fits the bill in both cases.

It’s a cool concept for partying and restaurants. But for home I’d rather do the ritual of opening a bottle, cutting the metal cover, pulling the cork, pouring a glass…
QOTD: No idea how many kegs are sold… not too many I guess

Gary, I gotta say that I was proud of you for being willing to dis a wine despite having the guest. That’s a tough situation, but you found a (legitimate) way to praise the guy without pretending the wine was perfect. With that said, this keg is a really great idea, and I agree that it would be a big plus for restaurants selling a lot of wine by the glass.

QOTD: I have absolutely no idea.

I find it amusing to watch you pan wines when the winemaker/salesperson is standing next to you. He took it with grace. It has been said by others before, I think its better to not evaluate wines directly infront of anyone who has a vested interested in them.
