    Right around 362 or 363. I found a clip on YouTube of Gary tasting MollyDooker wines and then ended up here. Wish I had discovered it sooner.

    QOTD: I started some time in April or May, and I’ve retroactively watched a buttload of episodes.

    I might add, I wouldn’t miss sniffy sniff. I’m indifferent to it. Bring back the SAS!

    Ive been following the show for only a few months. Winecrazy Glen told me to tune it and watch everyday! So I did!! 🙂

    BTW..That movie was great..but yes Pinot Noir went Hollywood – But its still my favorite!

  • Mandy

    Gary â?¦fun show today. I started watching about 6 months ago! Iâ??ve been hooked ever since.
    Just a comment about the Breggoâ?¦ the little town in Anderson Valley where the winery is located is called Boonville ( great beer too ) . Back in the day the locals had their own language called Boontling, Breggo means sheep in Boontling â?¦ Fun fact for the day !!

  • downtnmark

    QOTD: I started watching from episode 330. (I had to check the archive for de-ja-vu’s to figure that one out.)

    Nice bit on the Pinots. I tried an excellent one in the same price range on Friday: 2005 Gary Farrell Russian River Valley
