   Great show Gary! I would love to see more shows that include the winery owners and wine makers. Great insight! That being said, I wouldn’t want that to happen at the expense of the shows from the office where you really break down the wines. Those are the shows where you bring the true thunder.

   Good fun, I think I’ll really anjoy these Bordeaux shows. I really like the ending shots of the vineyards, it’s great to see them and get a sense of the terroir. I’d welcome more of that.

   really enjoyed this episode – i will forward it to my sister…she might be interested.

   wow, that would be sweet if my sister married into the Clinet vineyard…

    This is definitely a hard QOTD to answer. Maybe he could have Kevin Rose if he and Gary ever break up. Kidding… much love.

    This is the type of episode I really enjoy. Not only do you get to (virtually) taste the wines, but the particular wines that you are enjoying are put into perspective, i.e. the particular winery & region. Great stuff; keep it up Gary V.

    liked the show, maybe I splurge and try an 06 bordeuax. can someone explain the obcession(sp?) with being in the top 10 please.

    QOTD: Sorry I can’t find one, an I live here, best of luck though.

    Wish I was 20 years younger, so I could age those wines!

    Petty lurker reporting.
    Don’t know if I help by posting this but it was little distracting listening to the cameraman (Ian?) breathing, he was kinda too close to the mic.

    Other than that I have only praises, great show.

    Hey Gary, great show — but it was kind of hard to hear Ronan… I’m going to see if I can snag up a couple of bottles of the ‘04 Clinet.

    QOTD: I will trade you my wife for 4 cases of ‘05 Bordeaux…just kidding…5 cases??

    What a coincidence. Your looking for an American girl and I’m looking for a French Chateau owner. Seriously though, we’d be great together if I could just get rid of my boyfriend.
