Gary, stop selling yourself out. You look un-natural somehow… You are the best when you are not pushing yourself to promote things. You are the best when you just talk about things you love. It will bring you money. Dont worry.

LOVE the ’sur place’ show. WICKED. I will keenly await the rest of this ’series’. PLEASE, do more shows like this.

QOTD: My wife might object, but if the wine’s that good…[kidding]

That was a nice episode GV, I really enjoyed it. I need to get back to France to visit more wine country. QOTD: you know it’s funny that Ronan would mention wanting an American girlfriend, because throughout the whole episode I was thinking “I need a cute French boyfriend just like him.” Hook a sister up GV! Keep it real.

A great episode, as most are. I agree that additional tours of vineyards and wineries would be great.

QOTD – Best of luck, my hooking up days are soooooo long past.

This stuff is fantastic. Getting to see a bit of the different wine regions of the world without having to leave my apartment is awesome. However, it won’t be enough to keep me from visiting a lot of them in person!

QOTD: Unless you like guys for girlfriends, I am of no use. I guess I could hook you up… but I’m guessing you will be getting at least 100 offers!

Gary, I hope you slipped Ronan one of Pipes’ cards. I think she deserves to be in a threesome with Susan and Paulie vying for a Dionysian prize. And were he interested, I could probably find that Dionysiac a trio of CC Vaniacs, too â€“ from right here in the Okanagan!
And who was the urbane “Shadowman”; is that what you called him?

Superb show!!

Would love to be drinking that ‘05 right now.

QOTD: He’s a cute guy….however, I’m married and probably 20 years older than him.

What the heck – he is looking for an American girlfriend and I want a European girlfriend. How does that work?: You want what is unique and sometimes can’t have – like 05 Bordeaux first growths.

Gary – You are living large. You are a rogue and a rapscallion.. or so says Sir Gary. And where is he? We need a dose of chastisement as only Sir Gary can bring.

QOTD: I’m too old. And I’m married. Good luck.

Good show.

We bought 2005 Bordeaux but no big names. Nothing very expensive. Hopefully it’s good enough for our palates.

Interesting show. Full of info. It’s good to have a winemaker share his knowledge about the background of wine-making. Drinking wine, a lot is taken for granted…A lot of work goes into producing a fine product. Makes you wonder about all the made-in-China crap most americans (and quebeckers) are overly used to.

Great shout-out to all the people involved in wine-making that go unnoticed and unheared of. Next time we open any bottle of wine, we should thank the un-named…

Hehehe… Sorry, I can’t help with the American girlfriend request.

Great show!

Was the show uploaded incorrectly? It’s supposed to be #502, but the opening was “Episode #503″.

Looking forward to seeing more!

This “kid” runs a chateau? Please . . . and he’s looking for a girlfriend? Stick with the wine my man, it’s much easier on you, trust me.

That aside, a great show. I lovvvvve Bordeaux and it doesn’t get much better than this.

QOTD: Do you like the Colts?

Cheers

Ah, Bordeaux, you are lucky Gary! Great episode, and thanks for the look around the vineyard. I’ve heard that in some parts of Bordeaux the vineyards have been passed down so much that there could be hundreds of owners in a few acres of land.
