Gary,

Excellent show, and I love your honesty. Keep it up buddy.

QOTD: to the top 🙂

I enjoyed your rant about the K. Crawford Chard and I completely agree with you. It is one of the major reasons I have gravitated more & more toward Riesling. I can think of an instance that a â??butter bombâ? is a good food match though â?? Vichyssoise!!

QOTD: I’m going to sleep.

I love the jet lagged, tell it like it is G.V. Put these prima donnas where they belong.

I had the Kim Crawford last weekend and entirely disagree with Gary. Good acidity, good structure, maybe a little too much going on in the nose but enough positive complexity in the palate to place it at a higher level. I’ll buy it again.

Oh man, that had to be the worst episode for you in a long time….. Dumping the glass out on the table? Ouch. Now THAT’S getting worked up over a wine. I’d love to hear a conversation between you and someone at Kim Crawford after this episode aired. QOTD: Going out with my parents to Cafe Juanita tonight for dinner. One of the best places in the Seattle area. Been there many times and I cant wait for another 3 hour experience.

GaryV, you swallowed the corked wine at the end? Mais Pourquois?

Excellent review……keep it up..

Tough show. Well, sometimes that happens. First case of (unintentional) heat damage on the show, I think.

QOTD: Onward and upward. Excelsior.

qotd: on the hunt for all the remaining wine varietals I haven't had yet, as well as wines from every country/region I haven't yet tried.
