    Very good show – nice to see something from off the beaten path. The rock band connection was irrelevant to me. The first thing I noticed on the screen was the artwork, but there was not a word said about it – hope that is rectified in Part 2. Nice wines.

    Gary if you ever get to Colorado, I hope you try out the wines there as well.

    This is a great episode. Gary forgot to dump his rinse and tried to put the wine away without pouring for the guests! I had to laugh. It vacation though right so no problem.

    This is a wine show I can do without the rock star chatter as to who is or isn’t first rate or second rate, it’s all opinions just like wine.

    I am drinking a 05 Zardini Valpolicella Superior tonight and it is very interesting and I like it quite a bit.

    Looking forward to tomorrow’s finish.

    AMAZING show! Can’t wait for the rest! I saw the title & my jaw nearly hit the floor. Tomorrow you’ve got to include A Perfect Circle & Puscifier in the title!

    [...] I always have been, and still am a huge tool fan.  In fact I just bought undertow on vinyl last week.  Interesting that vin means wine in french?  Ok, I am reaching for a connection here, nonetheless it is strange to see MJK in a dress shirt talking about wine and the Detroit Lions.  Maynard James Keenan on Wine Library TV [...]

    Gary, COOL SHOW! I’m an Arizona Bay native and feeling mighty proud right now. I was at an Arizona wine tasting this weekend (it’s an annual thing in downtown Tempe) and it was the best year yet…didn’t get a clunker in the bunch.

    GARY!!! I love you man but you talked way too much over Maynard and Eric. You ask a question and then dont let them finish it. This is a great episode, but please let your guest respond to your questions. We know you were probably way too excited, but hearing what these guys say is half the fun. Kudos for doing a show on wine from Arizona. I will definitely try some next time I see it.

    Hmmm,

    Does it get any better?? Just celebrating the birth of my new baby son, and to top it off, the show I have been hoping would happen for about a year or so, is now a reality!

    BTW,

    Gedddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are two wine junkies that can and do still rock out from time to time :-)

    Another great show Gary! Props for coming out here to AZ.

    I was actually giddy watching this episode, and I can’t WAIT for the rest tomorrow. Tool has been my favorite band forever, so I guess sharing a show with Maynard makes Gary pretty awesome by proxy (j/k). Maynard’s such a perfectionist in everything else he does, I really want to try these wines. It might just be enough of an excuse for a trip to AZ. (I love Arizona, so it doesn’t take much for me to want to go.)

    One slight criticism for Gary, and I mean this with all the love in my heart: STOP TALKING! You’ve got two amazing guests there, and you’re talking over them.

    Fascinating show though never heard of Maynard James Keenan.

    Beard’s about where it should be.

    Great Show!!!

    This is the show I’ve been waiting for since I first started watching about 550 episodes ago. Tool is my favorite band and I’ve been following Caduceus Cellars for the last two or three years.

    Lookin’ forward to Part 2.

    Very surprised by the quality of the wines, esp from Arizona? The labels are very elementary though.

    Looking forward to tomorrow’s episode.

    Wow! Maynard makes wine?!!! That puts a whole new spin on his song “Sober”!
    Definitely in my top 20 favorite songs of all time.

    Great show Gary, can’t wait for tomorrow!

    Finally! I asked for it a year ago! I am trying to find the episode now, but it was on Ask Gary. I think Gary was a little flustered because on the syrah/PS wine, GV poured his own rinse and not one for Maynard and Eric. Then Gary drank the rinse! Rofl! Its nice to see you get excited, G! Great show and can’t wait until part 2.
