    An amazing trio of artifacts that sum up Garyvee’s life…

    I have not had a petite sirah yet but I had seen the earthquake and I was thinking to myself “Well that’s a little self assuming”, so it is nice to get someone’s opinion on it…BALLBUSTING and BALLSY (sweet)!

    QOTD: Totally watching it live!

    Gary, great episode, keep scoring the wines, I don’t want to be told a wine is 90 points only because RP said so.
    QOTD- Congrats on the Conan show ! However I will be setting to Tivo as soon as I leave this comment, I get up at 3:30 am so staying up that late is rather hard on a work night. Keep bringing the thunder!!

    After watching this and being told that a $50 Petite Sirah was “very good” makes me even more excited that I pazzzzzzzzz-ed on it.

    QOTD: I will be getting home from work shortly before Conan comes on, so I will be catching it as it airs…pretty cool stuff Gary.

    Welcome home GV. I agree with you, new world wines seem to have a narrow quality range despite the wide price range.

    Congrats on the Conan show – no, I won’t be watching. No cable TV in my house and I don’t miss it.

    QOD – I like scores. Yes, they can be very misleading. And yes, people (including me) will shop by score, buying the 90-point wine before the 89-point wine. But I’ve found that reviews without scores make for very difficult shopping. A review for an 88-point wine that you really like can sound an awful lot like a review for a 95-point wine. The score helps pin down just HOW much you “really like” each one. A great example is reading Terry Thiese’s reviews. What the hell does it mean when a wine tastes like a quartz crystal with cherry glaze??!! But if you tell me that and then give it a 94-point score, well that means something. I say keep the scores. They’re mis-used, but what data isn’t?
