   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!

   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!

    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.

    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
