Very somber episode. I’m sorry for your loss, Gary.

Gary,

I am sorry for your loss; we can never have enough friends. I’m sure that Mr. Verlin appreciates your hoisting a few in his memory.

Gary —

Thanks for pushing through an episode when your thoughts were obviously elsewhere. It not only demonstrates the respect you have for your viewers and your show, but in this particular case, the respect you have for Steve.

It sounds like he would have appreciated the salute.

Keep up the great work…

I’m sure that was a tough episode for you to do. I’m very sorry for your loss.

A tip of the glass to Mr. Verlin and to you for remembering him.

Gary-
So sorry about your buddy Steve Verlin.
I am sorry I didn’t get a chance to meet him.
I am glad you decided to do the episode despite your loss.
I give you a 90 on this episode.
You FINALLY liked some bordeaux’s! Simply Shocking!
Keep up the good work!

props on the episode obvously not one of your easier ones to get though.

I am yet to be a bordeaux fan, I have tried a few none over $30 that may be my problem, am just not a fan of the bordeaux flavor profile yet. Maybe in time.

I rate the EP a 91 full bodied, dry, complex.

Gary – This is my first post, and I will simply say that I love WLTV and I will raise a glass to Steve the next time I open a Bordeaux.

fast people

Sorry Gary! Thanks for doing the episode.

Sorry Gary! Thanks for doing the episode.

So very sorry for your loss, a lovely tribute.

sorry for your loss

Gary:

Nice tribute to your friend Steve!!

Nice tribute Gary, sorry for the loss of your friend.
Gary, I was very surprised with the thumbs down rating of the 2003 Chateau Haut Beyzac in this episode. You had tasted that same wine back in episode #23 with descriptors such as â??huge classic noseâ? and â??extreme elegance”. In this episode you said it had almost no nose. Are we talking the same wine here. How could there be such a drastic difference in 2 different episodes? Maybe a bad bottle?

My condolences….but remeber..it’s the memories that count!!!!

Great episode. 93 points. Good inexpensive Bordeaux is always a great treat!

Tony…don’t be so hard on people. Some people (me included) love what technology has done and commetning first from all the way across the country is rather exciting!

Great story about your meeting Steve and his contribution to the world. I love it when you bring the wider world of wine, personalities, restaurants and business into the show.

Gary,

That’s a 100 point episode. Way to push one through during a rough day for you. He was a great client of ours here in Chicago and will be surely missed.

Take care man, see you tomorrow.

Gary, I’m very sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.

Thanks for the tribute; I’m sure he would have appreciated it.

I’m with Steve on the Haut Beyzac. I bought several bottles on your recommendation in episode #23. What happened to “Chocolate, cocoa puffs and licorice”, “extreme elegance”, and “extremely silky”?

Are we talking bottle variation here? Taster variation? Heat damage? (Notice how I got that subtle hint about the heat episode in there? Pretty sneaky, huh?)

Gary, my condolences on the passing of what was clearly a good friend. Very classy to tip your glass.

100 pts. on this one – enough said. Nice tribute!
