90/100

I expected the worst when i found out that the guest was a commenter on the show…but it turned out that there was a great chemistry between him and GV so it worked pretty well.

  • Don Simpson

    You are a machine responding to the comments on this episode, its awesome! Keep it up and we might see a 1,000 comment episode! (Has that ever happened before…?)

  • winecrazy

    Well, it's the only show I was on and I asked a question so I look for the answers every now and then and I try and respond to the commnets because I feel if I'm asking an opinion, and people are going out of their way to give it to me that's the least I can do is respond and thank them.

    I just can't believe how many people commented and liked the show. It's like 100% of the people loved it. I think there was one guy who said something negative but a girl commented on him fast and then he said yeah ok, sorry…or whatever. I wasn't going to respond to such an ignorant statement but I'm glad she did. The guys name was winepro if you know of him. I don't……but I think the only thing he's a pro at is ignorance…lol His comment proves that if you go back and look. I guess there's one in every crowd and out of all those great comments he stands out like a sore thumb.

  • winecrazy

    Opps….I meant he is FOR sure…lol

  • Ah, Helen, of course! Who was I thinking of??? 🙂

    But really, try the Shirvington!

  • winecrazy

    I will. Thanks

  • Hey Glen, I'm a lurker from Vancouver. I loved the energy, enthusiasm and passion that you brought to the table. I hope you are on again for the July PARTY episode. 🙂

    I don't have any great selections for you because I'm such a new wine drinker. If i suggested something I thought was bombastic you'd all probably laugh because I'm so green.

  • Barstool

    Glen – but, I like lurking…
    seems your tastes run to the sunshine state – so for big and juicy with some added interest, I suggest Pride's Cab Franc.

  • winecrazy

    OK I'll give it try thanks!!!!!!! No Zin's or Syrahs??? Pinots???

  • WesMcAllister

    Glen you are in the top 10 of guest of all time. Nice work bro. I just realized how cool it would be for some one to go on and complete disagree with all of Gary's tasting notes. he does it to everyone else.

  • Prince of Darkness

    Nice episode. Time to get a little diversity on the show!
    See you guys on the 7th..

  • winecrazy

    Thanks alot!!!!!!!! I was just happy to be hanging with the G man and the Mottster. I like the big wines and Gary likes the more balanced ones. Top 10 huh….COOL!!!!!

    You have to write Gary and tell him that. Maybe he'll have me back on the show. 🙂

  • winecrazy

    Wish I was there. I had a party at the shore which came up unexpected and an old friend I haven't seen in years so….but I will be at the next one.
