Enjoy the shows on the road, particularly in France.
I have the 2000 Latour-Martillac laying down in the cellar.
I bought it for $20 per bottle in 2003 while traveling in Europe.

QOTD – visited St. Emilion in 2003, would love to make it to Graves as soon as I can.

Enjoyed the interview with Tristan. He kind of restores my faith in what I hear the French people are all about…….which is, of course, themselves. A knowledgeable and proud producer. And yes, his father did design a boss label. While I don’t drink much French wine, I know it is my loss, but the price point sets up a few barriers. QOTD…………..Unfortunately, no time soon, as I’m still trying to pay off my wife’s visit to England last month. [If Tristan is indicative of the French people, I need to start saving now].

Hey Gary, can I be your best friend? I would love to take my wife to Bordeaux and Chateau La Tour Martillac. You are insane! And I am a psychologist…a functional friendship made in heaven!

Now I am sure I need to get some Bordeaux Blanc. It has got to be so good, and so overlooked right now.

I just love the characters you bring on the show. You disarm them, and so often we see their humanity which is so much fun.

I know it is hard and you make it look easy. Which is why your show is so addicting. Keep changing the wine world!

gary, why are you so reluctant to let your guests use the spit bucket? they make concerned faces and flail a bit. if you donâ€™t like moving it around, get a second one for that side of the table!

also, is there an episode in which you’ve talking about the cellaring process? i’d love to know some things like whether a real cellar set-up is important if you’re only storing the wine for two years versus twenty, and whether the little wine fridges are really worth the money. thanks!

Long time lurker first time writer,

Love your bordeaux segments also love when you have guests. Interesting to hear you discuss older wines.

QOTD: I’ll be in France next week

Wasn’t going to comment, but couldn’t sleep last night, bothered by two questions:

1) Are these Messrs. Kellerman tied financially to the purveyor of the ubiquitous Kellerman bargain wines? If so, no wonder they hop around in choppers.

2) What _is_ the French for “jerk-off”?

This was a very enjoyable episode for Bill and I. Unknowingly I picked up a half bottle of Chateau Montaiguillon, Montagne Saint-Emilion 2004 which we lovingly sniffed and swirled and sipped while watching Tristan and you enjoy the Graves wines. As my grandmum’s maiden name was Graves I feel a certain connection with this region and we would love to join up with Tristan for the Fete des fleurs or harvest at Chateau Latour Martillac. Thanks for enhancing our wine experience.
