Hi from Australia. I found you via facebook page “Top Australian Wines”. I’m a novice wine lover and I appreciate the encouragement to get to know my own palate. Heading to the Barossa this weekend to start doing just that. Thanks.

    Good episode. Appreciate Gary’s clear distinction of old world – new world, fruit bomb v. real wine (IMO).

    Everyone is trying to get it now, so things are slow. I clicked and walked away. Now, I’m watching and lovin’ it.

    My goodness, WL’s price for the ’99 Penley Cab is 20-30$ CHEAPER than what I am finding at west coast — and other — sources. Too good to pass up? My wife is going to kill me. Hope the wine gets here first.

    No one referred me to WLTV…I was already a WL customer.

    And about Gary’s late night emails….he just emailed me at 2:09am last week…he was just responding to a simple question in the comments section…I honestly wasn’t even looking for a response.

    Go Gary.

  • Cameron P

    Gary, thanks for answering my wine website question with an abundance of suggestions (nice music to accompany them too). You’ll always be #1 by far, but thought I’d get a feel for what else is out there too.

    QOD: I had signed up for the WL mailing list (don’t know how I heard of it, I live in Cali and don’t order much online, but anyways) and I got the email blast about the first episode. As a young wine drinker (22), this embrace of modern technology really appealed to me, as it seemed no one was doing it at the time. No one is really doing it worth a damn besides you even now. I checked out that first episode, and have watched every single one since. Hopefully your example prompts some other folks to step into the 21st century!

    My boss recommended this site. I bit figuring I could score some brownie points and found a gold mine instead. My wine IQ has gone up, my wallet is lighter (but not as light as it would have been buying somewhere else where I have seen consistently higher prices) and my palette is happy. Thank you and hope it’s Cowboys – Jets in the Superbowl. Anyway Justin ’03 Cab is out of this world.

    Just 45 minutes…referral came from a Google search I did to learn about cabernet sauvignon, which I had been focusing my wine making efforts upon. WL came up and in reading about one of the wines, I caught the video link when reading about the Twenty Rows Cabernet Sauvignon. So, i guess I referred myself.

  • Ken

    Trust your own palate. Great advice. The best advice.
    But how to nudge that along with a more general wine education for the consumer? Perhaps you could explore specific appelations, from Finger Lakes Rieslings to New Mexico Cabs; From Idaho whatever’s to Washington St. Syrahs; From Michigan Sylvaners, if such exist, on to Arizona bubbly. Perhaps go on location. Might be strange, even awful at times, but you belong on a national stage. It’s only a matter of time.

  • Jim Kay

    Found the site last year through wine-searcher looking for the 2003 Domaine Tempier. Getting any 04 in?

  • Francis S

    WOW! This was as good a show as you’ve done. Nice job. Maybe you could think of just drinking on Fridays instead of spitting. For me, it just sorta goes w/ the day.
    QOD: I got the tip from a guy on another wine forum. A good regular kinda guy. I forget who though. It was somewhere in the middle of July.
