    Good episode. I don’t remember very good wines when I lived in Arizona. Glad to hear they are making progress. Looking forward to part 2 and QOTD.

    Hi Gary, It was such a thrill meeting you at Books Inc on Saturday. Did you get a chance to try the Riesling from Mt Tam Vineyards at the opposite table, how about a shout out for my birthday (12/4) when you get back to Wine Library? If you’re thinking of getting a place in SF, consider the Richmond District where pickles are taken seriously and they’re familiar scents of a Russian neighborhood.

    Great show today which makes me look at Arizona differently. Always love a story about wine’s connection with mining history.

    Interesting first half, pretty big name, but I don’t think this is the greatest show ever. Hopefully I will be proved wrong tomorrow.

    QOTD: A Perfect Circle is better anyway.

    I didn’t even know who Maynard James Keenan was until I searched him on Google. I thought he was just a wine maker who was famous for making popular wines. It’s cool that you got a big rock star on Wine Library TV Gary.

    OMG you got Maynard from Tool on the Thunder Show. Wow! I own a DVD of their freaky videos. Good for him for getting into winemaking so seriously. The Malvasia does look interesting.

    QOTD: ?

    You know you’re getting old when you don’t recognize a rock star’s name or what band he is/was in.

    People who count off what space they are in the comment line bug the crap out of me. Anyhoo- cool show- I’ll definitely be sampling a lot more from Arizona- can’t wait to see part 2!

    Dude! You haven’t been in my inbox for like a month! Did I accidently unsubscribe, or do you no longer find me to be vaniac-worthy? Any-who, glad to see your still around…

    Lots of catching up to do now!!

    The color on that second white was incredible. Cool guys.

    YES!

    I’m a huge fan of Maynard, both his music and his wine. I’ve been waiting for this episode for a long time, never thought it would come though. I’m surprised you didn’t link up his Caduceus website, which has Maynard’s very interesting wine journal… so I posted it as my website, so click my name people!

    Scoring wines in the best circumstances is subjective, but to do it in front of the wine maker is absurd. From KISS came Tool. Rock on!

    Great guests! Wine nerds are the best. I have a little desert (high desert) community I think could use a vineyard or two. Malbec anyone?

    Been a huge fan of Maynard since the Opiate album, been following his career ever since.

    I knew about his wine enterprise, and ever since discovering WLTV, I’ve been wondering if you’d ever have him on.

    Thanks for this. Very very awesome.

    Nice! Gotta try me some Tool wine. Something strikes about Maynard as not being your typical rock star…
