Fanatastic show today Gary. Jeffrey was great and the interaction between the two you was terrifc. This was a show for “Wine Geeks” and I’m pround to say that I be one!

QOTD: It is a rare red that I don’t decant and some whites.

Oak is like makeup for a fine wine – GREAT taste analogy!! Great ep. GV and John, really enjoyed this. Very educational.

Great episode!!! Keep the guests coming, especially people like Jeffery. Great knowledge and the interaction was right up there with you and your dad.

QOTD: Decant whenever time and memory allow. Always regret when I forget.

Several people asked where to find inexpensive decaters. Crate and Barrel and Amazon.com are the best deals I have seen, but you can probably find them at Target too.

Gary, as a budding wine-nerd I thank you for the show, Jeffrey speaks so softly but with such authority and confidence. I especially liked the way he was totally unfazed by your peculiarisms (spinny spin?) and your P-V tangent! 8)
QOTD – Yes. Will do, I am pretty sure I don’t decant enough and have been thinking that each bottle of red I’ve had recently tasted better the next day.

I agree… I would have liked to hear what he had to say more. I did enjoy the show though. I would have used the rocks for a display case for that wine, rather than giving them away, but hey, you’re a generous guy!

QOTD: wasn’t really a question as much of a request, but… I started decanting less than two months ago and it made a BIG difference. Used to be that by the time half the bottle was gone the wine was finally showing its true colors. Now we get a much better impression from the beginning. But that isn’t the question, is it. Why not? Because you’re at a restaurant and they don’t decant. The question should be, why don’t restaurants decant?!

Wow! very informative and fun.
Prob decant 40 percent but know I should more, especially if I can find a couple of those plastic decanters Dave was talking about

I thought you were going to make him jump out of his skin with your opening!

Mr sato, you arnt going to the right restaurants.

re: Lindsey’s comment: “Only complaint would be the volume. Ever think about using mics?” If you’re going to add mics, upgrade to HD also.

QOTD: I don’t decant yet. I’m waiting for Santa to bring me one this year. & if Santa didn’t get my hint, then I’ll be buying one on Dec 26th.

QOTD: Why not decant?, time. Hello New Year’s resolution decant, actually a Christmas 4 pack resolution

Great show, as always. I really enjoyed Mr. Daniels as a guest!

QOTD: CKC’s generally don’t have decanters because they are always in danger of being used by roommates for inappropriate reasons…or the RA thinks they are drug paraphernalia.

Just kidding. But seriously, I don’t have one, though it’s on my Christmas list! Hopefully someone notices…

Great show GV. Really enjoyed JD’s comments and insight. I will break out the decanter for the holidays and give my reds a big swirl and some breathing room. Thanks for the suggestions.

Have a Merry and a Happy.

that guy was full of info. spoke quietly but swings a very big wine stick. his QOTD: don’t have a decanter yet…but hopefully under my christmas tree this year. in the past i haven’t partly because i can’t and partly because i like to see how it changes the longer it’s opened in the bottle.

Big shout out there for Michigan and Virginia wines – way to go Gary!

Nice show! If I could go back to college all over again and change careers, I’d move to Cali and study viticulture…inspiring.

QOTD: I’ve had a decanter now for 2 years, and always use it at home! Love it.

Great show and guest! I have very little experience with French wine so I enjoy the continued education.

QOTD: I just bought a decanter in Sept and have been using it quite a lot with very positive results.

Hey Gary and Jeffery

QOTD: I think we decant about every other bottle. I would decant every bottle if I had time. Usually we get home from the gym and start fixing dinner and pop the bottle that we are having. If I have the foresight to pour it into the decanter before we go the gym we would decant all the time.

GREAT episode.

great episode, very interesting

QOTD, too lazy to clean the decanter

Wow! This was a very educational episode. Awesome guest!

Right on regarding wine being all about the experience. Wine is a living breathing thing so it only makes sense that we relate to it in the context of any other experience.

Why not decant?!?! I don’t have a good reason, so I guess I will.

Awesome show and a most informative guest. Thanks for the decanting tip.

Wow, what a gentleman. Guy knows his stuff. I am going to check out some 2004 Bordeaux and try to find some hidden values out there.

this is the greatest show. i really love it~~
a little story about soil and a winemaker will make me understand the wine better even if i wouldn’t have to like it. thanks for the great show gv and jd…

qotd: sure i will. that’s what i do always…

Am I the only one who thought the guest represented the wine world that Gary is trying to change? I enjoy some variety and all perspectives so this was nice, but thank goodness Gary was able to spice is up some by being, well, Gary.

Wow Jeffrey is a great guy you can feel his wine… vaynernation

Gary I want to be you… in a way
