    I like that he left the stems in- I leave about half the stems in when i ferment grapes for wine then remove about 20% each week for 3 weeks and the rest right before pressing- Adds Tannin and helps fight off over oaking- probably why Gary found it old world-

    Lets see if CP would put you in the National NY TIMES, your space cost about $3421.97 I’ll be looking for the check!

    But seriously he is amazing and how many BLIND wine makers do you know?

    Very nice show Gary. Looks to me like you may have gave up on that “new” camera. Much better picture today, looks like you didn’t use that new camera and went back to the way things were. You will go HD one of these days…wink…wink Have a great weekend

    C.P. quote was priceless “I don’t even know who the Jets are”. I know you were being polite by not throwing him out of there….lololol

    Good Job C.P…..can’t wait to try that “old world” Pinot

    lol Now that is a priceless fact. I’ll be sure to include that when trying to explain to my parents how cool it is that my name appeared in some wine store’s ad. 🙂

    Gary,
    AWESOME episode. I love when you have guests. Please do it more often.
    I think it is so cool that there is a blind winemaker, AND he is making world-class wine out of New Zealand (and not a SB). I am going to seek out his bottles for my uncle who has been blind since birth. He will be psyched. C.P., you are the man. have a great weekend gary!

    Gary, nice episode. always interesting to hear it from the horses mouth so to speak. it will be interesting to see you trash a wine with the winemaker/owner sitting next to you. My question would be about his ability to smell hidden flavor in wines since he is blind. Also i wonder what he thinks about the color of wines. JETS jets jets jets…
