    The only reason I don’t decant as much as I could is to avoid over-decanting.

    But while I’m thinking about it, obligatory stupid question: do you want to put a lid or a cover of any kind over your decanter, or let it be?

    QOTD – Need to do it more. But don’t care for my reds being that cool — seem to open up more, showing far more complexity, at 68-70d.

    Very much enjoyed JD’s comments — but GV, geez, take a downer before you do these guest episodes — your hyper-verbosity becomes annoying with this type of guest.

  • QOTD: I almost always decant reds, no matter what the cost or quality. I almost never decant white wines, but I probably would if I were opening one with a long lifespan.

  • Kelly In South Dakota

    What a show Gary awesome!

    OOTD Decanting for sure.

  • jonomck

    One of the best shows ever! (no offense gary, or is that the Jets? ;-))

    QOTD: I decant every wine I drink always without exception- no reason not to!?

    GV: I gotta agree with Portland above; I was literaly yelling at my computer..”Gary, let him talk!” You are the man though; without your exhuberence we wouldn’t even be watching 😉 Love ya.

    Oh, thanks for allowing me to spend another severall hundred dollars at the Library! 😉

    Great ep g .. A big thank you to Jeffery for his love of wine.
    Decanting is always a great experiment on what it does to the wine…
    Always decant a Pinot Noir … the fruit really comes out

  • Lurker

    For God’s sake Gary! Pop a tranquilizer or two before you tape shows with guests. I’m going to arm Mott with one of them things for knocking out wild beasts. Otherwise, a very eye opening show.

    Big time Lurker.

  • DannInNH

    Decanting is a big part of the wine preparation for us. If we don’t finish the complete bottle, which is rare, we pour it back into a smaller bottle with screw cap to preserve what’s left. We have several sizes depending on how much wine is left.

  • Sonnenuhr

    Gary – Top 10 show – ever. This really rocked!

    brilliant run of espisodes

    qotd: bc i don’t have a proper decanter, and am the only wine drinker in the house so i usually taste it over the course of a couple days during which time it evolves…

  • C-Lo

    GV you all right? Your face looked a little swollen on today’s show. Regardless, that was a cool show. I’ve never decanted a wine; mainly because I don’t own a decanter. Where is a good place for a broke grad student to buy a decanter? Keep it real.

    You should be up for an Emmy on this one GV, really out doing yourself lately! Great guest, Jeffrey Davies tells it how it is, the real deal.
    QOTD: I have no idea why anyone would NOT decant, I always decant my reds, even the cheap $15 wines.

  • KVolk

    What a great show!! I didn’t know of Jeffery Davies and now I do and some more about french bourdeaux which before this show I could spell and that was the extent of my knowledge.

    QOTD: I now have a decanter and I will decant though I am still leery of the whole chilled red wine thing but change is good so we will see….maybe for that Christmas show I keep hearing about….

  • Kristen

    Waaaay solid episode GV! Absolutely awesome…Jeffrey Davies is a role model. I totally want to be that kind of wine expert in the future- living in France, drinking amazing wine!

    QOTD: Don’t have a decanter (yet) but will…I’m a part of the CKC. When I go home, I’ll try it out on some wine that I’ve bought from WL.

    And thanks for the rock Jeffrey…I just ordered a bottle and can’t wait to try it out!!
