   Gary, you got somewhat annoying in the middle of the show – it wasn’t supposed to be about you, it was about your guests. But overall, the two part show was very good and very interesting.

   QOTD: I have never been to Alaska, but my wife went there many years ago before I knew her. I’d like to go there some day, though.

   Great guests on the show, Gary. Very passionate and knowledgeable. QOTD1: Have not been to, but would love to some day. QOTD2: Cement is a force we know little about, and once we fully grasp what cement is up to it will be too late. No no, I dont like cement at all!

   …. the show seemed to get a little bogged down in the middle, but pulled it round at the end and finished on a high. Best 2 parter for some time.

   QOTD – Nope, nowhere near. I’d like to say maybe one day, but I have my doubts.

   thanks for all the great comments — Peter and I had a great time on the show and if you are ever in our neighborhood please stop by for a visit.

   One person asked if we have a distributor in Texas. No we don’t but we are actively looking for one and would love any help or suggestions.

   Very interesting show! I have to say that Gary V was coming on a little strong and stepping on the answers of the guests a bit too often for me. That said, again, still very interesting!

   QOTD: No, and cement is great.

   Unfortunately Skagway is my only Alaska experience, tourist city, but I know it to be a great state.

   Cool show concept, but I would have loved it if it was a bit more informative on the blending process and the reasoning behind certain decisions.

   If this show was a wine here’s how I would review it:

   83 – Hinting at good components but lacking focus. A little drawn out in the mid. I like where it was going but needs some concentration. After experiencing it, it’s gone (short finish).

   QOTD: Never been to Alaska, but with (gasp – should I mention it?) ‘Global Warming’ it could be the world’s next great wine growing region!

   QOTD2: which varietal creates that flavor??? =)

   A fascinating show that definately shows the ‘real’/'human’ nature of the US wine industry (something that isn’t always conveyed on an international level).

   QOTD: no, but would absolutely love to

   Cheers

    QOTD: Yes, went to Alaska for a cruise. That state is awesome. Did a little flyfishing during the salmon run — one of my favorite memories.

    QOTD: Haven’t been to Alaska yet, but grew up in LA – way too much cement for my liking.

    QOTD: NO I have not been to Alaska, but I live in LA… and there is TOO MUCH CEMENT TO BE FOND OF IT!!!

    QOTD: Never been to Alaska but really want to go fly fishing for salmon there. Cement is pretty good but CONCRETE is strong to quite strong.

    I never been to Alaska and i don’t like cement. Sounds like a good title for a book or a Johnny Cash tune.

    Very interesting and educational episode. I really enjoyed “learning” about an aspect of the wine industry. I would like to see more episodes of this style. Maybe you could take one day a week or every couple of weeks to explain part of the wine world other than the tasting and retail end. Thanks for all you do.

    As a sidebar, I have to comment on how good the Jet D is going to be this year. Sheppard and Bart Scott are huge additions and if they get Leonhard its all over. QOTD – Never been to Alaska but cement is great.

    QOTD: No I have not been…and I think cement is a useful tool.

    QOTD- Yes, it one of the most beautiful places in the world. It’s nature at it’s best.

    Thank you for a great show, your guess today are awesome. I think the Santa Rita Hills area is one of the best places for pinot noir. The wine, the people are all down to earth. I have had the pleasure to visit the area and it was one of the best places to go.

    Thanks again for a great show.

    Another good show GV. I really liked the blending aspect because I have not been involved in this part of the wine world yet (drank plenty of blends, just not watched them happen).

    QOTD – Never been to Alaska, but I really want to. I thought that she said she went to LA to find “some men”. I think very little about cement.

    QOTD: Never been to Alaska, but I’m a big fan of cement. Its ability to stabilize load bearing structures is unmatched.

    Great Ep!

    Waited to post until the end of the second episode. Very interesting guests and I have had their wines I bought from Wine Library on my trip there last summer and they were wonderful and 3 bottles of Rogue still to drink. I have been to Alaska twice and I have to say the country is beautiful but the cities suck big time. They look like some kind of industrial construction project in the worst Soviet sense plopped down in beautiful country. Talk about cement.

    Great episode. Keep up this sort of educational stuff!

    Alaska is beautiful but too cold in the winter for humans to live in. I would like to visit in the summertime.

    Cement has had an amazing impact on human culture making possible building forms which were never considered when all we had was stones and wood. I bet someone has already written a book on the impact of cement in human culture.

    Peter and Rebecca… Wife and I will work for board and blending sessions for a week. If you’d entertain that, we’ll plan next vacation out there.

    Really nice guests, very interesting and fun show. Recently some friends from Palmer, Alaska sent me two bottles of half blueberry, half grape wine. One was a merlot blend and one was a white zin blend. Both were very floral and incredibly fun to drink! They came from the Bear Creek Winery in Homer, Alaska..wonderful expansion on my pallate:)
    QOTD: No, I would love to though.
    QOTD:#2-In moderation when needed.

    Haven’t been to Alaska yet, and would like to see far less cement in my world.
