The sound still isn’t that great, although it has improved over the week. Somewhat disappointing show, but what did you expect from a French wine that actually says “Chardonnay” on the label like that? Sheesh!

QOTD: My favorite flower is probably the lilac, although a lot of tropical flowers are more appealing to the eyes. But lilacs smell great.

Makes me want a Beaujolais right now!!

QOTD: The fuschia flower. My mom works at a greenhouse. It always the neatest flower she would bring home.

Hey Gary,
Speaking of Kermit Lynch, what a dream interview that would be. Any chance?

First comment, officially no longer a lurker… QOTD: I’ve always liked the adjective ‘orchidaceous’ to describe something intricate or fascinating. I’m going to have to go with: Orchid.

QOTD- My favorite flower? Gotta be the Grape Hyacinth. They hang like grape clusters. Common here in good ol southern New Jersey.

French episode…. kinda disappointing. Beaujolais is definitely an under appreciated, under estimated, and all around just looked down upon region. You get into the cru’s and you can get some serious stuff that surprisingly ages nicely.
Thanks Gary

These shows have been interesting to see the multiple reactions and disparate palates, but I would not necessarily advocate doing this on a regular basis…it makes for kind of a disjointed presentation. Nice novelty though, and a fun format to do with friends. We just had an end-of-summer rosé party on the river bank Friday night…almost 30 different wines (Old world, New world, and local Vermont & Quebec). Great to see who liked what best and why, there were no reject wines, and not a drop was left.

“Michele”, take your pretentious crap troll attitude and get your own blog. The whole point of this show is tasting for regular people, no extensive wine education is required. It does not matter what is “right”, only that we try. GV, don’t waste any of your precious time trying to get that one back, leave the space for someone is open to the opinions of others, and willing to learn from them, even if they do not agree.

QOTD: Seeing the color of the Forsythia first thing in the spring, lifts my spirits and gives me feelings of great hope, but the intoxicating aroma of Jasmine may win overall.

Gary,

I subscribe to your pod cast so I don’t comment very often. I just thought I’d drop in and say “hi.” Heard you were coming to the SF Bay Area in October and I’d like to promote your appearance with an article and video on “Adventures in Wine Tasting” (http://erikwait.blogspot.com/).

If you can send me some more info I’ll spread the word.

Cheers!

good show gary! the conversing went smoothly and the feedback was good and interesting. they’re getting better as you work out the kinks.

QOTD: that’s a tough question. from the very few flowers that i know, sadly, i might say some sort of geranium. like a stork’s bill. you got me thinking though, and now i want to go out and smell and look at flowers to see which one i like best. thanks gary!
