QOTD: de gustibus non est disputatum – i.e. trust your own palate. I *like* the label. It shows some class.

That said, time, once again, to whip my favourite dead horse.

If your *unedited* hour long interview segments, regardless of how interesting the guest is (and Nick is very interesting) were a wine, I’d rate them a PAZZZZZZZZZZZZ (with 10 Z’s). Overpriced (i.e. overlong by at least twice) for the shoddy quality (i.e. unedited, uneven sound [no problem hearing GV but can’t hear the constantly interrupted guest).

After being blasted by the Thunder Show theme music I could barely hear this episode even at full volume.

Edwardo

Nerd candy all day! I favorite was the grape and strawberry box. I could kill 2 or 3 a day.

I am very interested in part 2. Nick is very laid back and funny.

Great Part 1!!

Good start to the show. Nick seems like an interesting guy. I liked his take on various wine areas. Now on to Part 2…

Loved this guy and you two were great. Learn so much about wine – regions and their best wines – will look for Walla Wall cabs!

Great part 1. Now on to the 2nd. I have to find that Sauvignon!

most hilarious guest ever.

ok that was an awesome episode. funniest guest ever is right!

That guy is awesome. I hope he went out and bought some nerd candy after the show. So many Halloweens have brought so much nerd candy to me.

Wow, Nick G. might be my all time favorite guest on this show! I’m kinda disappointed that there aren’t that many comments…. I just saw the episode with the master of wine lady, who I know everyone loved….but the things Nick had to say not only enhanced my growing knowledge of wine from technical perspective, but appealed to me in say uh…blue collared way tremendously (I’m sure that didn’t make much sense). I really really really loved what he said about tasting at room temp. vs. chilled….how despite the fact that you can discern more elements of wine at warmer temperature, a wine served at the cooler/intended temperature gives the wine the right structure! And I hear GV talking all the time about how a certain wine appeals to him at different stages of the wine tasting, yet the structure is hollow, etc.. It was such a pleasure to hear Nick talk about wine, this is an episode that I can watch again and again in the future and still enjoy!

You just pulled a switcheroo on the glasses before the merlot at the end of this part, lol!

Great guest. Awesome show.
