Gary,

Stumbled upon your website today for the first time. Really like the refreshing, not stuffy, but very informative way you talk about wines!

Greetings,

Keep up the great work!

I love you just the way you are, Gary. All the “serious” wine snobs that get upset need to take a reality check or get the hell out. Never had a Brunello, or much Italian wine for that matter. I have enjoyed them though and plan on buying a nice Barolo in the future because my family and I are going to a nice Italian restaurant in a month and might buy one on the list. QOTD: I dont use that word that often, but I think of something that is real. Of course when someone uses that word its almost a sense of their own opinion, like “this wine is legit,” or “that baseball player is legit,” so you have to take it for what its worth.

Hey Gary, it WAS a good show. And I liked that it was less than 30-40 minutes (you had a long string of those in Feb/Mar).

mini-QOTD: Yes, I like when you intersperse other wine info and experiences during the show. I do, after all, watch the show because of wine. So these little “off-topic” meanderings are fine with me.

QOTD: Legit? I think of LeBron James!

I love the variety of input on this episode. Peachy Canyon makes great wine. Have you tried their Port? It is fabulous!

i enjoy brunellos, especially the ones that are bargains. 40 bones is a bit much, but if it shakes the thunderdome and gets a 94 point score, then maybe this is something to add to the collection for a special occasion. do a show on bargain brunellos that rocked your socks off…..

side comments: i really enjoy them as long as you stay on point and don’t digress too much or lose focus.

QOTD: lots of movies have that stuff in them. BOTTLE SHOCK was one of those movies that while it was interesting, it was glamorized and Hollywood-ized to make a more intersting movie, and paled in comparison to the book and the real account of the Paris Wine Tasting.

Great show…I’m going to have to try some Brunello’s. I like the abstract comments like you did today w/Peachy Canyon (I love that vineyard) so keep it coming.
QOTD#1: Road to Perdition
QOTD#2: MC Hammer & those parachute pants. Yikes.

Brunello’s are killer wines and a beautiful area to visit to those looking for a wine holiday. QOTD: MC Hammer.
