Brilliant show. Best part is seeing Gary all gooey and at his most respectful and least interrupting, with Jancis. Well done you.

Thank you, Gary, and thank you all for your very kind words.

Gary, that was one heck of an episode, one that will go down in WLTV history as being one of many best.

QOTD: Absolutely, the best idea to get Jancis on the show. This IMO has the capacity to educate more people about the essence of wine. You know what will top it all; having RP in the show. This Gary will be the epitome of WLTV legacy.

GV – I know I have to catch up – but I needed to watch this episode. Jancis is a wonderful writer, person and guest. I’m reading her memoir now and am smitten. Thanks for getting her on you show. An inspiration to write and think about wine…

Abso-bloody-lutely fantastic!!! I can listen to Jancis forever (and she’s easy on the eye too!)…..(and we were born in the same City!!!).

This is a candidate for best episode EVER! That middle section when you disappeared..she carried the show easily!

QOTD – From a fellow Brit… Good idea.

QOTD: Yes. I have a bee in my bonnet about the shows being too long sometimes, but that was 42 minutes and 57 seconds of quality. Gary, you should get Oz Clarke on too.

QOTD: Jancis, what a fabulous showing. Your elegance and charm complimented Gary quite beautifully. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and opinions.

Gary, I just about lost it when you dropped the line about White Castle Sliders….awesome. I loved your clever sarcasm throughout.

Great, great show with a legend no doubt. She’s quite the elegant lady.

QOTD: Hands down, yes, it was a phenomenal choice for me.

Cheers!

Gary – How can you mention Jancis (queen of wine critics) and Robert Parker (human phylloxera)in the same sentence? For one thing she hates the man (and rightly so). Wonderful guest and a terrific show.

Best show EVER!!! The best 42 minutes I’ve spent in a long time!

QOTD: You betcha!! It was a fantastic idea to do WLTV. A resounding YES!!

You should have done the show as Sir Gary.

Fantastic show. Great to hear a true legend share her knowledge and expertise with us on WLTV. Way to go Gary:-)

QOTD: Such a good idea to be on the show.

QOTD: It’s cool that a “legend” like JR was on the program. I think she has a very different point of view which is why I think it was a valuable episode.

GV, your NOT interrupting too much, I don’t know what people are whining about (no pun intended). Keep it up, barrage the questions, get them out there and as many as possible. That’s what an interview is all about.

Holy cow! My wife and I visited Argyros in Santorini during our honeymoon in May. Absolutely the best wine on the island in my opinion. I am so glad you covered it.

Very nice guest. A bit too much on the interruptions of her tho. I can hear you every day, but JR? Come on!
Kodi has a great idea about getting Draper on and tasting thru some of the Ridge wines. But let him be the star.

Very enjoyable guest,loads of knowledge. It was nice that you let her talk. 42 min show went by in a blink of an eye.

QOTD: Great idea, you should come back soon.

Answer: Good idea! I like to see the masters and I like to see Gary with a companion to reveal the contrasts between what people taste and smell in these wines.
