    So glad you’re putting up videos of your Bordeaux trip GV! This really makes me want to get to France ASAP- can’t wait for my internship now!

    QOTD: Désolée Ronan, je n’ai pas des suggestions…les américaines, c’est surfait je pense. :)

    Mais 26 ans et vous gérez ce vignoble! Incroyable! C’est bizarre…je serai tout près de Pommerol cet automne pour un stage à Saillans avec un vigneron!

    Love the change of scenery and the vertical tasting! Any chance of a trip to Chateauneuf-du-pape this year??

    QOTD: Seriously, all you need to do is fly to NY, you’ll have a girlfriend by the end of your first night.

    QOTD: Sorry, can’t help you there. Maybe send me a few bottles of your best and that might help.

    That QOTD was terrific! I would say that, as a French owner of a Chateau in France who makes delicious wine. he should have very little trouble finding an American girlfriend. Good luck to him!

    QOTD. Ummm.

    QOTD: I was joking with a young lady I know, that happens to be fluent in French, about this episode. After she saw Ronan she insisted that I recommend her to him. So Ronan, if you want a knock-out Blonde, just graduated law student from Minnesota, Sarah says her passport is up to date.

    Great episode.

    HI G.V. –Lovely show as usual. Being a not yet betrothed woman, the QOTD is awesome! Single, 32, available in Columbus, OH, and loves great wine. Did I mention my winning smile? :-) Feel free to pass along my info.! Cheers.

    A great Show ! Much better than #500, but not as good as #499. I especially liked the way Ronan grinned when you rated the wines. I really enjoy the shows when you have a guest to bounce off of. You and Kramer were a couple of madmen on 499, but it made for a great show. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching. Oh Yeah, the wines were good too ! ;)

    Nice show. Loved the insight into the ‘06 and ‘07 vintage.

    QOTD: I would look for more than just ‘American’, you could do better as far as girlfriends go :} That is my answer is far as the question goes. Worst QOTD that I’ve seen so far.

    BTW: Love the end of the video when we get to see the vineyards, etc. Good stuff.

    What a cool show!!! Great guest! I am so jealous of your trips to Bordeaux.

    Q-I know plenty of chicks that would like to meet Ronan.

    It’s too bad that 05 has irrevocably raised the prices of Bordeaux, but it’s good to hear 06 is so good.

    But a skilled, charming French winemaker shouldn’t have to make a call to WLTV listeners for an American gf. ;-)
