I have the basic Sula shiraz, so your description of the Reserve is not filling me with confidence!

QOTD – I am happy for you Gary, plus you made it out alive without getting any serious stomach bugs or mosquito bites (I’ve been to India, that’s no mean feat!).

QOTD: I am very happy that you are out in India trying some local wines…any time our industry gets further exposure it’s great. As for Bret…I’m very happy for you and I certainly hope that you get your day in the sun when they play the Giants.

Indian wine is definately an interesting concept. I am taking your advice and trying some wines outside of the napa valley land scape.
I am currently drinking a bottle of Uriah from spring valley vineyard in Washington. It’s a great bottle, and I probably would have passed if not for the show.
Thanks!

QOTD – Im stoked for you being in India! But sad about the Gov tax issued you bring up…my wife is Indian and I keep telling her we need to move there and open a wine business, but maybe not…
Farve? Should have stayed a Packer and retired with grace and dignity!

It was great fun to watch today’s episode. My husband tasted some sauv blanc while he was in India last Spring and remembers chatting with you about the trip when you were in Seattle. He’s been sending the URL to all of his Indian co-workers, and they’re enjoying it.

I’m looking forward to joining Jeff on his next trip, maybe in December or January later this winter. We’ll have to search for some d’Ori while there.

QOTD: That’s awesome that you are in India! It’s one of the places that I want to visit someday.

As for the Jets and Bret Favre? If you’re happy yay, otherwise I have no idea, I don’t follow the sport =P

Gary – Glad to hear you had a good time in India. It is indeed one of those countries that, if you have an opportunity to go, you should definitely do so. I have never had any Indian wine, so will need to find some around here to try.

Hey Gary:

Pretty cool that you went to India to try those wines. Hopefully, I will get to go there sometime. Bold prediction on the Jets winning the Superbowl. Let’s see if they can get past Miami. It will be a tougher game than one may think. Chad may have his revenge!!

QOTD: I am stoked that you’re in India! I have been working on getting some Indian wines into my shop lately, so this was a great episode to see today. Keeps me on my toes to look for super cool stuff.

Come back to Oregon!

QOTD: Very happy!

Nice show, Gary. I’ve been to India many times, but never had wine there. I’m glad one of the bottles you tried brought some thunder!

It’s hard for me to enjoy this episode after a terrible season opener for the Skins… God, they looked bad. Get the ball in Cooley’s hands.

India!? Wine?! wow. I would not have guessed! Interesting show. Like watching the Discovery channel. haha. No place I’ll be going to, but interesting.

Hey, contact Craig Ferguson and do a show with him. He’s a recovering alcoholic, so will need to spit with you. haha. You two would ignite the skies together!

Come back, Gary , to wines we can purchase !!! smile.
