Fun guest and a good show. I want to keep pounding home how much I love guests and live shows, reguardless of the wines bringing the thunder or not. I adore it all. QOTD: I either grab some bread or water.

Gotta be careful of the wine woots, the cheap stuff they sell from mywinesdirect is definantly garbage. Much better to buy Gary’s picks from WL.

That guy is pretty cool. Woot will be a website that will go into my daily website rotation. QOTD: I like the palate clense. Definitely when trying a bunch of similiar wines to diferentiate them. I go old school with the oyster cracker.

Is it just me or is the mic’ on your camera getting less sensitive? – the sound quality is awful.

Good show though, even if I can’t Woot.

QOTD – Typically none of he above, very occasionally a swirl & spit of water.

QOTD: I often don’t cleanse my palate at tastings because there really isn’t anything there to use. Water helps some for me. I think a mild bread or a unsalted soda cracker works best.

QOTD: I don’t typically cleanse but if anything I might have a water cracker or some water.

I don’t typically clense my pal, but if I do it is usually jsut water or crackers if they are out.

QOTD: Water is best but I often just wait between samples. Sometimes a SMALL amount of a neutral cracker or piece of bread – not too much butter or salt.
I think a bigger deal is what you rinse your glass with. I like that Gary rinses with the next wine. Too many wineries rinse with water and most don’t give as generous a sample as Gary uses in his tastings. Therefore the wine gets significantly watered down (could be 10% or more!). When you do the “rinsy-rinse” please use wine and not water!

I always like the shows with guests because the interaction is fun!
QOTD – I usually reach for something very neutral tasting, a saltine, a piece of bread (baguette), a cracker of some other sort.
I typically only do this between whites and reds, not as often for various styles of reds.
