Ack! What a tease!

BTW, I’m so NOT a fan of stemless wine glasses. But then again I do drink a lot of white wine, and generally drink them chilled, so you can imagine why I prefer traditional glasses with stems.

tastes like lasers
I have to agree with Eli2Tyree: forget the price range on the blind test. Its fun to see a cheap wine do some damage since thats pretty much all I can afford )

WHAT?!?! A cliffhanger? Now I’ll have to watch tomorrow’s episode for sure…

I agree with others, the idea of doing a blind between $50 and $15 wines would be very interesting. Thanks Gary!

You know that feeling when you are trying to remember the name of a song or a movie and its just out of your mental reach?

This episode was like that.

You’re killing me Gary.

Something is definately up. I’ll guess that Gary was on the right track with #4, and that none of these are actually Cabernet Sauvignon.

I like the blind tastings. It just makes the show more ‘real’ d.o. double g.

I hope there wasn’t a fire drill or anything of that nature. I do look forward to hearing about it tomorrow though. Mad ups to big Mott-ster for the sing-off.

How about having Gary and Mr. Mott BOTH sit and do wine tasting every once in a while. We’ll get Gary’s opinion AND a less experienced wine drinker.

Great show, also I don’t know if you have tried it yet but there is this California wine people call it “2buck Chuck” it is a Charles Shaw wine that you can get at trader joes for 2 dollars.

DOH!!!! I am interested to hear the reasons. I am looking forward to seeing you Gary at the American Express wine thing at 4pm on Thursday.

Hey GV, not a Cab fan so the final verdict isn’t too important. However, I’m afraid that the stinker of the show is a BC effort. Not too many decent reds worth mentioning from the north west that you have available to you.

Buying the book tomorrow, a groovy wristband beats a cab any day of the week!

I was really looking forward to the unveiling, but I guess I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see Yellow Tail unveiled as the top wine. I’m kidding, but it would be high comedy if it happened.

dude…those stemless glasses drive me crazy. They get all covered in fingerprints and that makes me feel all grubby. If you’re eating appetizers with your fingers those glasses get nasty looking.

And since we couldn’t see the unveiling today I’m thrilled to have Mott’s gorgeous face the last image of the day!

Oh, man! You guys were either being stinkers or you ran out of space on the memory card (or charge on the camera battery…)

Fun episode. I’m looking forward to the unveiling (hopefully) tomorrow!

I’m happy to see you using the stemless glass. I use stemless for everyday- harder to accidentally tip, and you can toss ‘em in the dishwasher. If my hands were hot enough to change the temperature of the wine in the glass (as the wine-glass snobs claim), I would be suffering from a life threatening fever & would belong in the hospital, not in my living room relaxing with a glass of wine!

Classic epsiode. Gary going through the wines and giving us some good tasting notes for wines we can all enjoy. But he couldn’t finish it off! I’ll have to check back when the results are on the SS.

QOTD: I like the old format.
