Cool, another Viking invasion from Denmark! Only this time their bringing wine. Let the party begin!!!

I was just going to look this up, Thanks! 🙂

Really great to see such a legendary guest on the show. I would of loved to hear more from his daughter’s point of view–he seemed a little overbearing in this first 30 min. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Thanks!

Watch Mondovino and you will learn a lot. They are made out to be the wal=mart of the wine world. But most of that happend after their IPO in 1993.

Less talking, more drinking.

Brevity is an asset.

Thanks, very much appreciated

LOL!

Great show! I love it when you get special guests with such a HUGE wine legacy!

While Michael’s wine is called “Continuum” the Winery is called Folio Wines, you can read about them and see the video on California Wine Tasting Adventures:

I like it so far. Things like ‘the eastern side’ are interesting insights, as well as the people doing the work. I really hope Carissa will be allowed to add her insights as I’m sure Mr Mondavi hoped to do when he was growing into his roll in the family history. Wines at that price point I will only be able to ‘taste’ for a reference, and then unfortunately not in proper context to appreciate it. I understand good marketing but still appreciate the guests taking the time with Gary, and us. This makes it much more personal. All the best to you all.

I want a star next to my name!

When you get your own show you can do that.

Been on the mail list since the beginning when Carissa answered the phones and love the wine. Having Tim sign the Magnums is a special treat. QPR for this wine makes sense to me because the “Q” is sooooo damn large. When I saw that their dinner tour was going to bring them into your neck of the woods I had hopes that Tim and Carissa would drop by for a visit. Can’t wait for your tasting in PII. I can’t believe you didn’t get in on the ’07, the ’06 is very good but the ’07 is MAGIC!! The ’08 is on it’s way to me and it is the first vintage with the estate grapes playing the dominant role very exciting.

Serious thunder! Excellent history – excellent guests. I am pumped for episode II

amazing history interview. REALLY liked this. Could be my #1 appreciated show you’ve done. He did get a little full of himself about “no find veggie in my wines” – but that’s ok. Once Global warming is done with Napa, they’ll be growing cotton. hahaha. Just kidding. It was a great show! Can’t wait for part 2 – does she talk more in part 2? snicker.
I’m expecting QotD to be a tough one, better not be an easy one!

Probably one of the most interesting episodes ever. Hurry up with part 2! Come on Mot!

I would like to see a ban on guests bringing their own wine. It would be way more interesting if they brought a couple bottles they liked, or meant something to them. The interview/sales approach sucks, and listening to wine makers brag about their own creation sucks.

If they want to promote their wares, they should have to send samples to the viewers, because who on earth takes the makers word for their own products quality?

This is an example of the the history and legacy of wine. A GREAT episode. Looking forward to part 2 only it will be next week before I can view it. Thank you so much for having these folks on the program.

Wow. AWESOME episode. I can’t wait for part 2.

Thanks Gary

Very enjoyable so far. Yes, it’s a lot of talking, but I like these history episodes (like when you had Mr. Lynch). Thanks.

OK…Why are there three seats?? C’mon GV! = )

Awesome ep! Loved the interview! The Mondavi family “is” Napa Valley. Can’t wait for Pt 2.

Wow I gotta say Tim really rubs me the wrong way. Im especially aggravated by his inability to let his daughter talk. Wish you could have done something about this Gary, her frustration was palpable. Suggestion to Tim, if you are going to use your children to help promote the wine, let them have a voice!
Sales pitchey seemed disingenuous and pushy.
Ok- getting off my soapbox now….

I liked this show quite a bit for the most part (Tim’s story is a great one to hear and the history is enlightening) , but I also agree with points below that Tim’s inability to share the microphone with his daughter (the next step in his celebrated “continu”ity) was just bizarre. We know what to expect from GV, but it’s like Tim was afraid that the key point wouldn’t be stated properly unless he made it himself… and right now! … Back off a bit dude.

Great interview. Funny to see a guy who likes to talk as much as you go toe to toe with you Gary! Why not put part 2 up at the same time? Some of us have plans for friday!
