Haha, I can honestly say that this episode came from left field for me. I had no idea about any of show or anything at all, so I was laughing both at the idea and your reactions to the “blood”. Very interesting Gary. You do keep me on my toes, that’s for sure.

QOTD: A neg =P

Viewed your “blood” video at 3:00 AM. Thought it was just another nightmare. From Texas to Ohio to India to Egypt to Blood. I hate to think of what is coming next. How about a blind tasting on Montepulciano D’Abruzzo. A great wine that does not get a lot of attention. Another idea, a weekly show on “Best Buy” wines. Please get back to the old Gary that we all know and love. Keep up the best wine show on the net.

Cheers,

And people wonder why the wine world needs such an overhaul…

Awesome show Gary. Keep being you.

QOTD: I’m an AB positive person myself. Eclectic, yet so refreshing.

QOTD: I don’t know! Dammnit!
I have asked my doctor about it like 3 times over the years and he tells me that I don’t need to know. Well I think I do!
What if need to give an emergency donation or something???

Had no bloody idea what you were on about until I googled – I guess we’ll have to wait 6 months or so before we get the show.

QOTD – Universal donor here…. O -ve

wow, this was one of the strangest eps we’ve seen. My husband and I have been watching via podcasts downloaded from itunes starting some time in August. We get caught up on the weekends (we both travel during the week). The last one we watched before this one was the wonderful ep with Gary and his best friends, and watching this one shortly after was pretty weird. But funny. After consuming two bottles of good red wine (between the two of us).

What a great episode – would have been cool if it was April 1st and I almost thought it was a joke but now I’ve seen their website I now know! Interesting idea – I have sampled my own blood (generally by brushing my teeth too hard) not exactly fully consumable.

QOTD: Not too sure – I never remember

Gary, You are my hero. Although I think drinking blood is awkwardly strange, I still think its a creative idea for your show. Keep up the good work.

QOTD: AB Negative.
