A good guest and a good episode to see, I love Alsatian whites.
I’ve had the pinot blanc from Albert Mann and it was fantastic. I’ve had some really great Chasselas from Alsace too, which I don’t see in stores very much.
I think that aged Alsatian pinot gris and riesling are so fantastic when aged at least 7 years that it’s almost a sin to drink them earlier.
qotd: Anyone in his crew-Mott, Ian, K Murph would be fine from time to time, but Sasha or SIR Gary would be my top choices. Actually to see Sasha on WITH SIR Gary together for an episode would be insane. Just to see Sasha’s reaction. I’m not sure I could handle it.
Qotd: I feel like I’m almost obligated to say vin jaune. So not nearly as mainstream as the rest, a bit unique, astringent at first and an accquired taste, but once it’s been breathing for a few hours and especially with the right food it’s great.

QOTD1: Only if it was Vaynerchuk Senior!

QOTD2: White wine. Smooth, balanced, in its prime. Nothing extravagant, but with a fun kick of citrus. No oak.

Gary,

I just re-watched this episode and loved the way you interacted with this guest. i really feel like you had a perfect amount of balance between keeping him on track and staying focused on the wine, but also letting him talk and not interrupting him. Great job. Thought I would give credit where credit is due, especially because you sometimes get some heat for interrupting guests.

Great guest! I'm trying to find a job in a wine store myself…

QOTD: No guest hosts, wouldn't be the same!
-2: hhmm definitely a white wine…really bright on the nose, has a sweet front and a decent finish but could definitely use a couple more years

Lol @ 0:37 “…a little bit about, what you're… about!” Like Austin Powers “Allow myself to introduce… myself” classic!

No offense to anyone, but this is the GARY VAYNERCHUK show, that’s what it’s about as much as the wine. NO GUEST HOSTS.

Part 2 is harder. I am looking for richness in wine, I guess is a good summation. Whether white, red , sparkling, it has to have substance.
