It was a great idea!! although we can read a lot from Jancis, I don’t think we get the opportunity too often to see her as casual as here. Thanks to you both, great show!!

It was a great idea. As a wine neophyte (regular Gary watcher now since May of this year), I did not know who Ms. Robinson was. Now I not only know who she is, I know where I can find even more opinions and information about wine (on her web site). I’m sure Ms. Robinson just harvested a whole bunch of new wine enthusiasts from this patch that has been lovingly sown and cultivated by Mr. Vaynerchuck. Kudos on the NYT piece, by the way Gary.

It was an excellent idea. Thanks, Gary.
Jancis, you are charming and passionate.
Thank you for the shout out to the $8 – $20 category of wine.
This was a very informative and enjoyable episode. Could have been a few hours longer.

That was a great show with two of the top personalities in the wine world. Really enjoyed the conversation about Sherry and the general wit and intelligence that came out of Gary and Jancis.

I’ve been saving this file for a long time until I had the forty-five minutes to devote to watchig the ep and yes, Jancis, this was a good idea. Easily, the best of the more than 700 episodes of WLTV. The back and forth between Gary and Jancis was engaging, a lot of excellent info was imparted, a love of wine was affirmed and the time flew by. Would that you could have her on annually for an update.
Every wine enthusiast should see this show. Congratulations!

Hi Gary

It was a great idea.The british need to get out of the box and just the writing about wine.The internet has opened new areas for people to learn and love wine.The british need to get into video blogging more.Th is is the new media and yes writing will always have a good market but video is very powerful.

This was a show that brought definite thunder to me. Mrs. Jancis Robinson is an outstanding guest and person in the wine world. She really knows her stuff. She is also quite witty, with her typical brit humour. I just love that. To me, this is much more the type of guest i like than those two college humour guys. Again, like Gary says, It all about expanding your pallatte and having fun doing it. I love also the more zany shows like 2 buck chuck episode or the outdoors in winter tasting show, but to me, and that is just me, shows like this one and one of the last ones with the winemaker for Mersault are absolute gems. I will absolutly try a Sherry very soon, wich i’ve never done.

QOTD:It was a great idea and i hope that everybody who go on your website think it is too.

I think closing in 500 replies proves it was a brilliant idea, and honestly I’d love to see her on the show as often as she wants.

Way late here but it is funny I have been reading the oxford Companion recently and finding out about Jancis too. Shocked to see her on the show and very happy to listen in to some serious geeks talk!

Great idea to come on and great to here your thoughts and views of, well, just everything!

Thanks Both!!

QOTD: It was a great idea, the wine world needs both the serious side and the out of the box side, both sides are passionate and are appreciated!

Yes, it was a very wise decision to come on the show. This is my new favorite episode. I wish I’d seen it earlier!

We have some wonderful cheese here in the states! Being originally from Wisconsin, I must say that the cheeses there are fabulous! You’re right, though. Why do we Americans go right to the cheesecake????

Stellar Idea!!!! Watching this a bit after it was aired, but just watched today’s episode (Okanagan) and heard the reference and was so excited that I figured out a way to give 45 minutes to see my two favorite wine personalities together. Big huge THX to you both, this is a moment in my own personal wine history!!!! (god I sound like a cheesedork!)

Great show.

loved the Yank and the UK differences and thought the selection was interesting.

P grigio is over. look for many different options everyday.

Note: the Ridge zin is being made by Nephew of controversial Chef/ writer richard Olney (a guru/ friend of wine importer Kermit Lynch, chefs James Beard and Julia Child).
