    I came upon your vlog from Mike Steinberger’s article posted on slate.com. I am always extremely interested in hearing from a normal person on their opinions of wine. This vlog was great and very informative and plan on seeking a few of the wines you had tasted, especially the Concha y Torro Chard. I plan on coming back as often as possible to get some more wine tips…Thanks!

    Darn it to hell! I beg for more viewer choice Fridays and then I wait until Friday to watch Thursday’s episode. Go figure. Loved the Conan show…he’s by far my favorite late night guy and now combined with my favorite wine critic for lack of a better description. Anyway, hopefully you get the chance to check these out before you start taping today:

  • Great show. finally saw it in the Viddler version. When you offered Conan your sock with the rolled up asparagus I spit my Pillar Box halfway across the room. Still loving the Pillar Box. There is a Sauvingon Blanc I believe is Apex from France that my local wine guy has started carrying that is listed as yes $500 per bottle. Anyone ever heard of it and how does a Sauvingnon Blanc end up that expensive? I would love Gary to taste this and see what about this wine makes it so desirable.

    Cool, I had a bottle of that 2005 Marques de Concha lying around, so I popped it and tasted it together with you while watching the episode. Butter and tropical fruits indeed, even though I couldn’t exactly pinpoint the mango/papaya mix. Anyhow, nice chard, I’m enjoying the rest of it now with a nicoise salad, great combo!

    QOTD: like I said last time, Dr. Loosen Bernkasteler Lay Riesling ’05 or ’06. But you don’t carry that at WL (you should though!).

    Gary,

    Great show on WLTV, great appearance on Conan and really not a bad article on Slate.com. Keep it up! I keep coming to the store anyway.

    QOTD- probably too late for real consideration but my choice would be:

    I haven’t been able to watch today’s episode. I’ve been in Brazil this week so I missed the show.

    Is there somewhere I can watch the full episode and not just the 4 minutes that are on both the NBC and YouTube links???

    I’m interested in how some of the producers other than Rosenblum and Seghesio are doing with Zinfandel. I would love to hear your thoughts on this wine:

    I haven’t tried it. The winery description sounds great, but don’t they all.
