46…that’s how many states I’ve been to. still have montana, idaho and the dakotas to touch. currently CA, via MD, VA and PA. so you got two of my four in the mix of the other 46. this did remind me of my first wine trip to oregon roughly 10 years ago. there was a garage wine that the two brothers were affixing labels to after tasting. could have broken the voga barrier for a sub 46 wine there. and there was another deliverance kind of winery that had an american grape that was just horrendous, something noir…oh man, does that bring back memories of “you know i may get shot if i say what this really tastes like.”

QOTD – CT You seemed a little harsh on the wines…but you were hilarious to watch. You should try some Connecticut wines – Albeit they are mostly hybrids but pretty darn tasty ones! Congrats to you and the Mrs. on the happy news!

Gary, I don’t know if you read the comments for old episodes, but shows like this are the reason I admire you. I can’t think of any other wine critic who would put him/herself out there like you did here. I think it really testifies to your love for wine that you’re willing to venture into unknown territory to try the offerings from such non-traditional locales.

Cheers! And let me know if you’re ever in northern Indiana. I’ll spring for a bottle of The Hoosier State’s finest. Then I’ll buy us a good bottle (ha).

grew up in Michigan. wine sucked ten years ago, but they are doing some great wine up in Northern Michigan now–I guessed that the “good” Riesling was Michigan, but St. Julian isn’t the best of the Riesling.

I lived in California for 13 years, so I became a West Coast wine snob–now I’m trying lots of different wines.

never found a decent Maryland wine, but we found one good winery in Pennsylvania where we live now. i’ve found some decent Wines near Tucson, AZ. Interested in trying some Virginia wine.
