Maine.
I liked the double blind format. It would be cool to see you do this with more “traditional” wines — maybe some that you’ve had and liked? I’d really like to see you do that Portuguese wine you were talking about. Could you at least tell me what it is? Thanks for another great episode. I am growing increasingly disappointed (especially when you do such obscure wines and categories) that you haven’t done a Madeira show yet. I’d like to see that with a vintage Madeira (hopefully something nice and old — someone can always bring it home and enjoy it in the weeks to come) at the end.

Madeira. Please.

Excellent show Gary! taint no way I would ever be able to figure the odd variatels….and maybe that’s why it was so bizarre for you? afterall, you did say it was fun for you , educating your pal. Maybe, for example if you tried several different Norton/Cynthiana efforts, you would begin to appreciate and distinguish the good, the bad and the uglys. i’m just saying. I am VERY interested in these offbeat varietals (maybe some time try a Lemberger, no not the cheese..or Zweigelt?) and was glad to see you putting them out there, thank you.
qotd..is it obvious…Kansas!

This seemed like a slow rolling disaster. I rep Virginia and New Mexico both wine producing state.

Next time try triple blind- with a blindfold on. Then you can have even more fun by guessing the color!

QOTD: Florida! You haven’t lived until you’ve consumed grapefruit wine. The interesting thing is that it’s typically superior to the wine made from our grapes.

Always go with your first thought on that guess.

Shame the Norton blend did so poorly today. We love our Nortons here in the Show-Me State.

Why would you do that to yourself!? Maybe next time you can guess fuel octanes by taste. Oh, Germany for now; MI forever!

I am here in NY State the lovely borough of Queens. I don’t drink but enjoy the show because it at least gives me some understanding of what the fuss is about.
In the 80’s my friend Marina and family (orig. from Yugoslavia at that time)grew wine grapes in their backyard and crushed them in the basement (yes w. their feet). We’d drink it out of little juice glasses w. dinner. It was just the most delicious drink I ever had. Not overly sweet, smooth no bitterness, and I think the feet gave it a nice earthiness. Me, the non-drinker, could handle it w. a slight & pleasant buzz but my boyfriend(s)(I was young then) would always get sloshed. I have never matched that experience.

Congratulations on baby Vee. What a fun family to be born into.

Dear Daddy Thunder,

I live in one of the fearless three (NY doesn’t count here) home of the Mariners and so many other teams you love & hate, anyone? anyone?..yes, that would be WASHington. Columbia River Gorge, our nations 1st National Scenic Area, Stevenson to be exact! Pop, 1236. I live on the north bank and OR E GON is on the south bank of the mighty Columbia So many GREAT wines north & south! Come on out for the annual Walla Walla (3 1/2 hrs to our east) spring Release in May and blind taste a few of the freshies of our great state. We stop along the way at the most scenic wineries too. F.U.N.!!!

Thanks for the double blind, double fine!

QOTD: Minnesota.
It’s -22 this morning and hasn’t been above 0 for almost 4 days. If we’re lucky we get 12 weeks of growing season here. How does anyone expect to grow grapes here? I applaud them for trying just the same.
