94/100

two lines of the day – ‘this is like your best friend in the world coming in dressed as the opposite sex!’ and the one that made me laugh out loud: ‘this smells like a garbage truck on fire’

Phenomenal episode. First double blind ever, featuring less well known wine-growing states. All wines panned hard but that’s when the best one liners come out…and this show was full of them. Awesome

    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.

    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).
