Peter and Rebecca are some of my favorite people in the business. I still remember teaching Peter how to sabre Champagne in the wee hours of the morning at his ranch house.

I have to admit I was not expecting too much from the show on the title and opening clips, but I am happy my first impressions were way off – an excellent and enthralling episode and I am moving straight onto part 2!

Great show! Get your guests a bucket. Maybe a Giants bucket!

Seriously though, this is incredibly interesting, especially just seeing people leave corporate America, start a winery and just turn their passion into their work.

This is a great show. I love it when you have wine makers on, I learn something every time. This one is really interesting since we see part of the process. Cant wait for number 2

Very cool – I’ve never seen a discussion of the different pinot clone characteristics before. The blending I assume is coming up in part II should be interesting.

This is really interesting. Great idea for a show.

I have a QOTD for you, Gary. Did you think you were hallucinating when a Danish man in a cowboy hat and a Hawaiian shirt walked into your store?!

This is probably one of my favorites of the more recent episodes. Definitely looking forward to part 2. This is what interests me the most about wine…what goes in to it and how it is made/blended. Would love to try out different clones of certain varietals to see all the differences that can be had.
