  • Now when I think of New Zealand Meat Pies I think of Flight of the Concords. Almost anything baked in a meat pie is great. I like Shepherd Pies that are meat pies also. but you need a New Zealand Pinot Noir for those.

    This is just like the old Mickey Mouse Club Show when I was growing up–Friday is Special Guest Star Day. Eric is a great guest. Ask him back again sometime. QOTD: Sort of a Greek thing, with lamb and eggplant and onion (moussaka).

  • William Bedard

    QOTD: You know, a lot of things taste good baked into a pie. I’m just as big a fan of all the “fruit” pies that are our there as I am of the mincement and various meat “pot pies” that also exist. It might be easier for me to think of something that I -wouldn’t- want to see baked into a pie (which would probably sound gross, anyhow…). Agreed, great question.

    G-V-N-C: Gary, a couple of comments. First of all, I have to agree with previous comments, the shows with visitors are very good. I like the conversation as well as the different take on whatever wine is being sampled. I definitely wouldn’t want a visitor during a “varietal” show since I really think it would break up the focus on the wine. However, for those types who think you’re “obnoxious” or whatever the “Gary-haters” are calling you these days, I think it breaks it up a bit and might make you a bit more palatable for those types. I like you fine the way you are. Second comment is about scoring. As you well know, drinking wine is a very complex sensory experience. One of the things that I like about your show is how much effort you put into trying to describe exactly what your smelling or tasting at the moment. However, no matter how hard you try, we can’t read your mind to know exactly what your experiencing. By scoring a wine (and more importantly, being in touch with how a particular reviewer tends to score a type of wine…), it helps us to better understand the degree to which you’re enjoying some of the more subtle aspects of the wine. If you (and everyone else…) didn’t score using a reasonably standardized system, that extra information from the review simply wouldn’t be available.

  • QOTD:
    I could be wrong (probably am) but Asagio, maybe a spicy pepper, and Andouille sausage?
    (eh,, why not)
