If I could find the 2003 Serafin, I would definitely buy it based on your resounding recommendation. Too bad my “no ship state” has only marginal wine stores and an all too powerful alcohol lobby.

QOTD: Honestly, not interested in pro football. Sorry.

Mmm, how can you go wrong with Gevrey Chambertin? Love those wines, can’t drink them often enough.

Please, keep reviewing French wines, don’t listen to the evil Australians.

Oh, also, agreed about tasting more $15 and below wines, that would be great.

Read into my last comment as much as you like. I find Gary’s pallet is favoring old world styles and gives them too much credit. This is causing an in-balance in your reviews. My personal opinion. Red into that what you like.

Gary… You have become one of them. Way too focused on French wines. I find your opinions and views are very typical of an American wine critic. I find friends professionally and personally in the wine industry who aren’t American are quite put off direction of American wine pros.

Great episode. I’ve only really had a handful of bordeaux and burgundy wines, and so far I’m much more inclined to explore burgundy.

Hey Gary great show! but where is all the DRC haha. Not even a cheaper grand cru like their romanee st vivant? lol I’m just kidding. Hey i like the buzz cut and I think it is the cowboys that will coast. Hey I’m fairly new to the show and i’m a big fan, your take on the wines and approaching wines in general is refreshing and you descriptions are very original and innovative. Keep up the good work.

QOTD: the mighty mighty dolphins!

I like the episode 212 hairstyle by the way, but don’t listen to my opinion.

Great show Gary. GC is great. You should try more of the 2006 since the 2005s are going fast. You should do a show on the other vintages from 2005 since they are shutting down and people will need to wait years to drink these bad boys.

Fantastic show!

I hate to break it to you, but the Dolphins will be the upset of the week.

Interesting show Gary. I like the longer hair better, but that’s just me.

Side Question: Short looks good. QOTD: The Pats aren’t going to lose according to my hubby.

I like a little more hair. Interesting show, I haven’t found a PN that I even like, but the last one sounded superb.

QoTd
The NFL will have to survive without me.

I,ve not had a Chevry-Chambertin…yet sounds interesting…

The hair looks okay Gary, but I must agree with Mott, a little longer would be better.

Nice show, but a little depressing that the extraordinary one was $124.

Hey, put a couple of skull tats with that buzz cut and you’re good to go.

QOTD: Vikings, and I don’t even know who they’re playing. I’m best when I don’t overthink these things

Your hair! ahhh. Get a hair cut! Don’t get a lamb one! NOPE. don’t like it.

What happened 1:37 into it? Mott cut out your harsh words?
Secret Packs! yes! Cruise ticket in it? wow. amazing. Even a 50% discount!

This is interesting wines, I need to reach out and find some. The white Burgundy were amazing from your show. $50 for a Pinot Noir? phew.
Where do I buy the “big ass glass”?

We want more $10 wines. Even $15 ones. thanks.

$124 wine? OMG. i stopped at 16:48

I really, really wish I could afford Burgundies.

Excellent show. People need to learn that pinot noir is all about Burgundy, and that new world fruit bombs, by comparison, are flabby expressions of an otherwise complex grape.
