    Hey Gary.

    I’m from the DR and i truly have to say It’s been 3 hours since i’ve seen the 500 Episode and I’m still happy I saw it. Best one I’ve seen so far. It’s got everything, the good, the bad and the ugly line up, the guy that’s throwing up in the back, the guy that’s so exited or boozed up on wine that makes a mess at the back, the girls in the front waiting for a complement or a shot at the camera or a shot at the expensive wine.

    Oh! and don’t forget, special effects.

    I got to say it’s the crowd pleaser show.

    Question of the blog.

    Ever tried a chinese wine?

    Finally! Episode 500. Congratulations and what star quality Gary possesses! I have had hits and misses with Riojas, but I do like them when the are good. As for the QOD, the Jets’ score will probably be 49 times what SF scores…or am I being too much of a kiss-ass?

    Awesome show, you should do all your shows with a live audience!
    One comment though….No bleeping. Some of us like off-color humor with our wine!

    I was lucky enough to attend the taping & it was so much fun. Thanks to Crushpad for hosting such a great event. Crowd was a little obnoxiously loud during taping due to the fact that there were like 300 bottles of wine being drunk beforehand. Gary was great in dealing with the crowd tho–you should definitely do more live shows. Thanks for making wine more accessible & less snobby. Congratulations!

    Oh, yeah, totally agree you should try Twisted Oak. In general I think the whole El Dorado/Amador area is under-appreciated.
