    i just started getting into wine a few months ago by a friend, he also showed me winelibrary.com and it drive him nuts that i'm always on your site researching and buying wine. i love watching your past episodes while trying the wine at home. i have gotten my whole family more into wine by giving tastings of wines they never heard of. watching this episode gave me a better sense of how to be tasting the wine and going to be trying this experiment…… some of them. thank you for making it easy for me to explore my new passion and hobby.

    p.s. cloves were once used as a nova cane for tooth aches and arrowroot it a thickening agent and isn't suppose to have flavor haha

  • johnboyerfan

  • ncellington

    Awesome commitment, we're trying to replicate this with about 500 students here at Virginia Tech

  • ilovevirginiatech

    Gary! You've inspired us to do this in my Geography of Wine class this semester at Virginia Tech! You should come and join us! Your videos are awesome!

  • boyerrocks

  • love4garyv

    Hey Gary, Love your wine knowledge. You should come to Virginia Tech and share your thoughts with some young winos.

  • whitelaw

    I love WLTV and Virginia Tech!

  • hokiewino

    Gary I loved the episode and we ARE trying to do this experiment in our VT wine class but I noticed you left out cat pee even though I've heard you use it as a descriptor a few times….what's that about?

  • Joe

    Gary we're trying to do this experiment on a grand scale at VT it would be awesome if you were here for it!

  • leni

    Love this, my mind is blown! Off to eat some dirt…

  • Kevin_hokie

    Looking forward to trying this at VT in Boyer's class. Come show us what you know!

  • hokie_fan

    you are very knowledgeable. Come share this with students at Virginia Tech.

    Gary, you are freakin crazy man! Come to Virginia Tech and build your palate even more with 500 students!

  • HokieNation2010

    Four words: Balls to the Wall! Come down to VT and you can try some of our Hokie Stone.

  • Hokiehi08

    Dude. College Tour. Virginia Tech. We would completely fill Burruss Hall which seats 3000. There is a massive wine drinking population in Blacksburg. And Boyer is the man….

  • Matthew

    Did I see grapefruits? New Zealand SB…. I am not sure I saw coffee, vanilla or plums, but if I missed, I will go back. Petrol would be good, sort of – maybe not. Cardboard… pencil shavings/graphite…grass….a few others I am thinking of…great shows thanks…

  • VTwine-o

    Love this episode!! Come to VT PLEASE!!!!!

  • hokiegirl88

    Crazy video Gary!! We would love to learn more at Virginia Tech! How much do you think the bill would be for 500 students?

  • tonezpeconez

    Virginia Tech… that is all

  • Boyer Rocks

    Come to Virginia Tech! 🙂

  • vtlovesthewine

    Gary this episode is crazy and awesome! Never would have known I could be a better wine drinker by eating my favorite cereal, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. You are the man sir so keep up the good work. You are making learning about wine fun and exciting for the young crowd! You've got me hooked!

    Boyer is the greatest prof at Virginia Tech and a big fan of yours. you need to come to VT now!!

  • mattlox

    Why didnt you sniffy sniff all the food prior to tasting them. Shouldn't we training our nose and palate at same time?

  • Jessy

    We're setting this up for a 500 person class at Virginia Tech. You should come and partake in it– we're getting everything, tree bark, dirt, etc.

  • forthewinelovinghokies

    I would love for you to further your taste profile down at Virginia tech 🙂 come visit! john boyer is awesome 🙂

  • blueberry is always a blast.
    weirdly i think lindenberry is a distinction for anyone.
    and they have the crepes at ihop.
    and there's upscale jams and jellies, obviously.
    pickled tomatoes.
    not hard to get, but a message that is strong like lindenberry.
    whether they are prominent notes in wine and perfume, they create lines of demarcation that later serve.
    opinions are like A@#holes.
    mine included.
    also, real cacao, not even the upscale chocolate bars which still have dutch process, which changes the taste from cocoa to cacao.
    dig it.

  • cuteyyi

    Gary! you are my new idol!

  • Knud… Wine=Newbie…

    Gary you are the best!!! I'm just getting turned on to the wine world and YOU are the guide i've been looking for. Great energy! Great information! and you even bring my other hero Jim Cramer on!?!?!? I'm hooked… I'm in the neighborhood of rock hard (in a hetero getting into the wine scene way) to watch all your past episodes and expand my knowledge… Please keep the great episodes coming. You're the shit!!!!

  • Jennifer

    I just found you because of Mutineer Magazine and LOVE your episodes. Especially this one to help me improve my palate. A couple of friends of mine are going to have a wine tasting with these foods… because it seems fun 🙂 Do you have a list of the foods that you did and ones that were recommended to add? I am making one of this list but don't know all the other recommendations you received. Thank you

  • LOVE …. wait for it …. IT!!!!!!!!

  • corkscrew

    Interesting episode..nice eating dirt… QOTD-try allot of different foods… http://www.winelx.com

  • Mike Mahoney

    I have watched alot of your newer stuff, but this one was CLASSIC! (literally and figuratively). If this was the first video anyone saw of you, they might think you were the Rainman of palates! Keep crankin' 'em out man.

    I just heard a rumor the JETS are going to be on HBO Hard Knocks. UH OH! Get your Cap'n and Reisling ready!

  • Betty

    Who are you?! I just saw you tasted your SOX!!!

  • George

    Gary try some pure white stevia extract!

  • I'm 18, and really more interested in watching your show as a medium for changing the world. Don't really think I'll ever drink alcohol on a regular basis, but you have inspired me to feel my palate out. You definitely bring the thunder!!!

  • Geo

    Amazing, keep the thunder coming!!!

  • BryMcK

    Nice work Gary. Loved every moment of that video. And that's from someone who doesn't really like wine. Or more accurately I don't like any of the wines I have tried.

  • David G

    Wow! After those last two minutes, I now know you are an expert in this field! I have been blessed living in CA and have ready access to all the fruits and nuts – that's all we have here anyway! Thank you for all your work – I really appreciate your show and now routinely look to try wines outside my normal few. I found a French Chardonnay just yesterday and hope to see what a Chard is like without the normal Oak Monster.

  • Tanya

    OMG! Jalapeno Pepper, & dirt. You are a brave soul. I enjoyed the video. My friend mentioned your site. Quite interesting topics, I am tuning in to see what crazy thing you will do next. By the way, what is your favorite wine? What region and Why?

  • sethsethy

    wow this is inspiring!¡! i wanna do this with a whole bunch of people haha.

  • waynegusmanjr

    Brah, this is my all time fav ! ! ! I was feeling a lill down and by the end I was rolling in laughter. Thanx, you are a true inspiration ! ! !

  • You kick so much ass! I'm trying to watch the recent shows and the favorites to catch up, and this one was awesome!

  • Tholmz

    GV, you are nuts and I love it. I am still getting caught up on past episodes after finding you earlier this year, this one is insane. I drank the Three Miners last night that I got off of Cindy…and was not a fan. But couldn't tell all that I was tasting so I watched this one to get me pumped to do my own palette exploration. I think I will leave out the jalepenos though….

  • alexlinsley

    Awesome Gary. Love the episode. Am going to introduce some of this crazy at the beginners tastings I run 🙂
    Big Respect, Alex

  • Great video! We wouldnt pair our chocolate with dirt, but we have made dark chocolate goji, cranberry, ginger, etc… Located in Northern New Jersey! Keep up the good work! Would love to meet you and/or have you sample what chocolate 'should' taste like 🙂 -Wendy @EnjouChocolat
