I always get roasted strawberry from grenache, usually with a kick of white pepper depending on how prominent it is in the blend. Awesome episode, tight, focused, and clear.

    Bought a 2005 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe CDP “La Crau” before it hit the top ten in WS Top 100 of 2008. Can’t wait to try it in 10-20 years and see how it evolves.

  • Dang! 4 and a half minutes and we’re out! Even in these first three episodes, I can see you getting more comfortable in front of the camera and more of your personality coming through. Very cool!

    A very short episode. Good enthusiasm, Chateauneuf du Pape almost always brings the thunder…!

    on the jorney throught the oldies..Gary you said “new wave” (not new world)..u must of being listening to the radio before you went on..no big ass glass yet, one of the few benefits of this recession is that one can now afford a CDP as a weekend wine as opposed to a very special ocassion wine, before I had to be contend with Cotes Du Rhone wines which were a fraction of the price to come close to the favor profile. http://www.winelx.com

  • wow, if you would start your show today like those one we would all be scared that you are in a deep burn out !!! ;-). For me Chateau-Neuf-du-Pape is to wine what the Yankees are to baseball, what Montreal Canadiens are to Hockey (I hope Gary that you know the Habs history since you're now the NHL savior!… and Oh… first thing you need to do to get hockey popular… Get rid of Bettman right aways… You'll save a HUGE amount of time and you'll become the most popular guy up here in Canada!!!) Cheers!

  • CDP, what can you say? Thunderesque wines, almost always. And still some of the greatest qpr's of the wine world… Nice show, a little short.

  • Jeremy

    I learned about Chateauneuf Du Pape mainly by watching your show. This is a wine that will definitely be going on my wish list. You brought the thunder big time in these early episodes!!! Great job, and I can?t wait to watch the next 899 episodes. I can see the current Gary coming out in this episode a little. “Let’s give it a whirl.”

    Did Gary’s twin eat him?

    Love CDP, but usually I drink more Gigondas or Vacqueyras because they’re more affordable, good info on the producer, you seem to be coming back to this format recently and I like it, but I also love the lon-ass episodes.

    Just calling it like i see it….. I noticed with these first 3 episoded that you seem to “enjoy” wine more. what i mean is that you are significantly tuffer in recent times!

  • John__J

    I have that same star wars cup in the background there.

    The irony of being recommended a wine only 2 retailer’s in the country carry doesn’t escape me.

  • My dad loves CDP. Come to VT!!!

  • CDP is definitely one of the best wines ANYWHERE! Very nice to see it featured and looking forward to drinking more at the earliest opportunity!!

  • Why were there so many VT comments and requests during these early episodes? Just wondering… was it a campaign to get Gary to come there? And if so, did it work? Maybe we can try the same to get GV to come to Hong Kong 🙂
