    Catching up on my episodes still. I haven’t had a bordeaux in a while and it is time to go to the cellar for some pure french culture! Nice episode.
    How about the fantastic deals on 04s still available!!! Just for example, Clinet = ‘04 $75, ‘05 $185, ‘06 $135

    Wonderful stuff. Thank you both Gary and Ronin for allowing us to be a part of that. QOTD: Cant help you there, yet. Im doing my own fruitless search. Maybe if I find me one I cant get her to take a friend of hers with us and we can visit your chateau. ;)

    Great show, very dynamic :) I had the opportunity to taste the clinet 2006 and it was a complete shock for me, never expected a 2006 would be so good. Now i just need to score the 2005. :)

    keep up the good work !

    Excellent show…and the brief video tour at the end was very nice. I wish there had a been a tasting and evaluation of the 2004 as well. :-)

    Awesome show, Doing shows like this helps me remember specific producers much better than just drinking a bunch of wines back in the Jers.

    What a blast – making it real on location with real winemakers. I like this format. When you do a follow-up we’ll have to see the new girlfriend!

    Thanks for your nice comments, and sorry for my HEAVY accent. I am sure I will improve it with my future girlfriend!

    QOTD – Dude, can’t help you with the honey for free. If I get you a girl, how much free wine do I get???

    A European guy with a heavy accent should have nooooooooo problem at all finding an American woman. Trust me!

    I love these shows, Gary. I just want to grab some of that old country air and just bottle it up!

    Cool show. Good luck finding an American girl, shouldn’t be tough, they love the accent.

    QOTD: Too funny.. I was just thinking ‘How do I find a cute French winemaker like Ronan?’ pssst… cute single American girl who LOVES food and wine here! ;-)

    Absolutement un bon show!
    J’aime France.
    J’aime le couture!
    J’aime le vin!
    J’aime les femmes!
    Now in English – Great show!
    Can’t help with the girlfriend!
    But for those people who are not fans of France and the culture, you are missing the boat – they have it nailed!

    Will have to get some 06 Clinet. The 05 I bought and tasted will take forever to develop. An American girlfriend hm. Bet there are some single women who would be interested from this board alone.

    Good episode… Its becoming more and more obvious that I need to try these ’05s. And good luck with the girl! I can’t imagine it will be too difficult.

    These are great episodes. You should do some more in Burgundy, South of France, Germany, Chile, etc… You could put them on the Travel channel or Food Network :)
