    QOTD….Hard to say, I’m with Sasha I don’t spit so I would guess somewhere around 20 but even on my first glass I don’t have your ability to taste the spectrum of flavors you find in your glass.

  • Smith MBA

    I have done 30 but think I can go higher especially if I am at the vineyards. I think I could do 25 if I was just sitting in an office in NJ.

  • QOTD: I’m in for 30ish or so? Depends on the day?
    I too noticed the cute babbies. That’ll put smile on one’s face while working. 🙂

    QOTD: Usually when I go to tastings I don’t taste that many. But when its super large, I probably wear out around 50 without bread or water, and maybe 20 more if you can reload the palate a little.

    Thanks for cranking out an episode…I know how tiring a day like yours can be. I don’t have the stamina or sophistication to be able to logically break down a wine like you, but I do ok….I think that my palate gets shot between 25-40 wines depending on the day and what type of wines I’m tasting.
    BTW cute baby in the background

    Thanks for taping an episode…you’re right the Vayner Nation is happy!

    And I know today you were exhausted, but is the AskGary question thing (thanks for answering my questions btw) just falling by the wayside on the show? I like hearing other people’s questions! And I tried the Los Alamos Malbec chilled and it was a nice change!

    QOTD: I’ve never been to a big wine tasting. And I think it matters if you’re spitting it out or not. So I can’t really be sure…have to try it out sometime!

    This format was pretty cool. It gives us another view of your office and your mug. Thanks for doing the episode. QOTD about 8-10 glasses.

    Thanks for hanging in there and delivering another great episode… hope you made it home ok.

    QOTD: I can usually make it through the dozen or so wines at my local wine shop’s tastings, but I am really looking for an opportunity to test the limits of my palette…

  • TROC

    I’m Irish so my palate never gets tired, we just have a Guiness and a shot and continue tasting. And none of that spitting or swishing out the glass, we finish the bottle and move on. Hoping to try some of your picks after that marathon tasting, thanks.

  • Grape Expectations

    I think it’s okay to switch the format once in awhile. When you’ve had a day like you had today we should be grateful for what we get. Must admit I was LISTENING to you but I was WATCHING the cuties on the screen saver in the background!

    QOTD: I expect the most I’ve ever tasted was 20 or so wines and that would be spread out over a whole day in Napa. Even at it’s freshest my palate isn’t all that sharp. I’m sure my best wouldn’t even be close to your 140th.

    around 9?

    for thanksgiving eve last week, friends of mine and I had a ‘wine gathering’ next at his apt next to the huge t-day balloons on Columbus Ave. and we had 9 different bottles. the most alarming and obvious nose i got was Fruit Loops cereal on a white wine.

    btw, still a good show gary, and if you’re beat maybe you need a:
