QOTD: Papa Smurf – who else could save the day.

On a side note, did you know that Papa Smurf was supposedly modelled off of Carl Marx. THe big Beard. Red Pants. It was often accused of being communist propoganda. Even the smurf village was practically a commune.

should be down at bounce monday night.

Hey Gary,

Just started watching your show last week, and I just love it. Really great work, and thanks for bringing such a great approach to learning about and drinking wine.

I read an article recently about the movement in California where there are more and more negotiant wines popping up. Ever think about doing a show about this topic? Could be interesting.

All the best,
Christian

Gary, great show! How’bout a show down between the ‘99 Chateau Musar from Lebanon and any old world Bourdeaux? That would be an awesome comparison. Regards.

Gary! So introspective! Looks like a lot of restless thoughts are churning in your head. I just got caught up on a week of WLTV. Missed a week of shows because of a heavy work schedule. Seeing a bunch of shows on Sunday is like talking to an old friend (you).

Since you asked about the format, here is my response… mix your pitches! Record short shows and longer shows. Head to heads are great too, just mix it up. The great ones have at least three pitches. Remember Tom Chapin’s show from the 70’s (Make A Wish)? They always mixed things up.

You’re doing a great job, keep it up. Don’t be afraid to challenge our expectations.
