Malbec is a great grape, i still believe in blending it with cab. sav. as with Amancaya from Barons de Rotschilde in Mendoza

Among my favorite episodes thus far (though Heidi Barrett is best-looking one thus far plus possesses wonderful knowledge and has chemistry with GV). I particularly liked the focus on disintermediation in the wine business, innovation, entrepreneurship and how 3 Thieves/Rebel Wine have succeeded by challenging the status quo from packaging to varietals. It all plays in well with Cindy.com and its tremendous success pushing a high QPR. Makes me want to buy bulk wine and brand it accordingly…

Gary — If you're doing a Fiano show, open up a bottle of the Colli di Lapio Romana Clelia. While the 2008 is a little young (it will taste better the second day) this is AWESOME wine!

Good topic, Gary. I had no problem with this type of show (every now and then). Quite interesting to hear everyone's thoughts.

GV interrupted a guest? I am shocked!
Enjoyed the 1/2 episode.

Support real american wine makers, not these do anything, buy anything negociants. There in it for money, not love.

I remember three thieves – sitting in the CLOSEOUT bin. That stuff was junk. Those guys don't care about wine. They care about making a buck.

Gary,
Interesting show (pun intended). Really enjoyed it. Can't wait to see the tasting and hear your opinion, but I think I'll go buy a bottle of the Malbec and try it for myself before I hear your opinion of it. I do like their Cab. For the price it's awesome.

BTW – I live in Nashville so I'm particularly fond of the label being that the Hatch Show Print Gallery is located here.

Do not mind the business yabbering one bit.
Plus Joel Gott!

qotd:couldnt agree more that malbec is headed for the road to ruin w quick easy over saturation, I'm seein it already when trying to find malbecs to bring into the restaurant I order wine for.

89/100

line of the day – ‘I’m not underestimating them at all – that’s like saying don’t underestimate bald-headed guys’

This episode was passing me by but the line of the day made me laugh out loud and from that point I got into it
