What are you all about man?

Great show so far, but Gary, please DON’T talk over your guests when they’re talking. I do this all the time and it makes my wife justifiably crazy. 😉

Love the guy but please can he let the women talk just for a minute? Geez. Kinda upsets me how he overtalks everyone. Never seen Gary in this position before where someone is more present in an episode then he is xD

I’m 23 minutes into this video & can’t watch any more. It makes me stabby. I probably won’t watch part two, which will be the first episode in the history of Wine Library TV I won’t see.

Great show today Gary Vee! I am excited to see how part 2 goes…I hope the wines are good or things may get reeealllly quiet. But hey, then maybe Carissa could get a word in. LOL. She couldn’t get much into the conversation could she. I think that is more of the 2 other personalities at the table more than anything else though. I mean if you dropped me in there I wouldn’t get much in either. Probably cause I would just have a stupid grin on my face turning back and forth to Gary and Tim looking like I was watching a tennis match.

When I watch this, I think another change in wine is coming – Eric Asimov talks about it in his article on 2007 Cabernet and Gary hints at it here – the end of the Parker fruit bucket wine and start of demand for leaner reds. Interesting discussion, now on the part 2

For that episode I thank you Garry

Ugh… unwatchable. Tim is a salesman to the extreme – and I don’t mean that in a good way. Gary was fine and for the portion I watched (only 10 minutes) seemed to be allowing both of his guests to speak – so kudos to him, although perhaps it changed in the remainder.

One of the very few episodes I’ve never watched all the way thru.

The wine is excellent. It’s one of the few California cabs i am drinking. Its so big though. the two wines that they are going to try are going to need a few years to settle down.

Interesting to see the huge divergence in opinions from the viewers. I knew from the documentary Mondovino, that watching Tim Mondavi can be very frustrating because he has all that great knoledge and history that he could give us more of but selling his brand is so engrained in him that it always overshadows everything else he says. He might be lacking a little humility I think is why a lot of people can’t bear with him.
That being said I wish he would let his daughter speak a little, I don’t even know why she’s there.
He’s trying a little bit too hard to sell his brand which is why he is successfull at what he does but I don’t think that WLTV is the right medium for it nor the right audience for it.

Not sure what I think yet, I’m going to wait until I see part 2

C’mon Tim! It’s Rod Serling NOT Sterling. OK…I agree evolution in how wine is being purchased, enjoyed, and rated is a GOOD THING!

Interesting video and interesting comments. Gary is maturing as an interviewer, one of the roles of the interviewer is to focus and direct the conversation. Not just let a talker talk on forever. The next instructional point for Gary is to directly ask Carissa a few more questions to get her involved in the conversation. She must have a headache by now from that eyebrow crunch.

So why was Carissa there? She is certainly attractive but if this is a Wine Cotillion for her, Tim let the air out of the event. I personally like Peter much more and now respect him more as well, I do not believe that he would dominate the conversation nearly as much.
Having said that, the history lesson was incredibly valuable. $150 bottle of wine, huh, gimme a ’90 RD instead. More lurking comments after I view part 2.

I’ve met both Tim and Carissa on two different occasions, and I can tell you firsthand that they are two of the nicest, most passionate people I have ever met.

I haven’t even watched the episode yet. I can say that these two represent the finest aspects of California winemaking. And the Continuum 2007 is amazing. Big and silky smooth.

Fantastic Show!
I wished I had met Tim & Carrisa while I was in Napa last Summer.
Fascinating People. I do hope to meet and chat with them soon.
QOTD: Single Estate Vineyard would be more of a Statement to the Buyer that the Winery is taking the risk of doing it right. I feel it’s important to know as a future Grower.

Gary I think this is one of my TOP 5 most favorite WineLibraryTV shows! GREAT interview subjects, fun to get the father-daughter Mondavi background, fascinating conversation, thank you so much!

88/100

I think all the interesting information got a bit lost in Tim’s relentless advertising of his new product. GV was desperately trying to broaden the discussion but most of the time Mr Mondavi brought it back to Continuum – (hell he didn’t even let his daughter get a word in edgeways). Shame because obviously there’s a wealth of experience and history that could have made an even better show. I wanted to hear a bit more of what Carrisa had to say. Let’s hope the wine doesn’t suck in part two !
