Gary,
Wow, how your palate has changed! Now you can’t get enough of the green/vegetable wines (#2). After watching a lot of your more recent episodes and seeing this one where you discuss ratings, how do you choose which rating to use? You always reference one source. Obviously a wine that Parker has rated has also likely been rated by Spectator or Enthusiast, so which one do you choose? The highest? The most respectable in your eyes? Just wondering. Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to see you evolve and get more animated like the Gary V I know.

Hey Gary

Oh I love this, I really love this. First time ratings are mentioned and on we go…

Cheers
Andrew

Ratings are ok, but isn't the “truth”, it's all very subjective. People shouldn't listen only to Parker or whoever… GV on a roll here……..

GV do you ever go back and watch an old episode? Must be huge fun for yourself…. ; )

5 wines in under 10 min. WOW

My biggest surprise recently was having a wine I loved just 3 months ago and I had it again last week and it was really underwhelming, massive vanilla, that’s all you could taste and smell. After the first time I had it, I noticed many critics were raving about it so I was happy to think my palate was on par with some critics, but the second time I had it, everyone who was there did not like it, so this brings me to a question, at what point do you recognize that a certain bottle could be off instead of saying the wine is no good period?

I love the First PSA about scores… so true

89/100

If GV can rate wines on a 100 point scale I can rate these shows on the same scale. This episode was most notable for GV referring to himself in the third person, and calling Robert Parker ‘Bob’. ‘Tough to argue with Bob there.’
