Enjoy the show. All blind. No price range. No area (like Napa). No grape type hint. That would be fun.

Gary,

Excellent show! YES, you should go blind all 2009. I enjoy so much your Napa cab shows, I hope you can do Neal, Goldshmidt cabs in the near future.
Hello from Mexico!

Yes, I would say go blind, but only go for maybe two or three days of each week.

Also, it would have been very interesting to have included the wines featured on the last two Napa Cab shows in this blind tasting.

<– lurker – have watched about 8 WLTVs. First comment. Go blind sporadically- sporadic – the Gary V way… Would love to know more about the rare grape ANSONICA and would love to see more white wine shows.

Great show Gary, YES! Blind tastings are awesome. Allow Ian to mix up the next cabernet show with two cabs from Napa and two from the left bank. Two US merlots and two right bank. Then two right bank vs. two left bank.
