nice to be able to spell out your tasting process for a more introductory level audiance…gary, way to handle the blonde…roll with the punches.

Great show!

A comely wench, but alas poor Vaynerchuk, methinks she is taller than you! Nice break from the routine — good to see a LADY grace the WLTV set. Need to brush up on my French and replay that early segment.

Joanne was as sparkling as the last bottle. Thoroughly enjoyed her. Keep the guests coming, although they should probably be more than annual wine drinkers.

Great show Gary! I have been lurking for a while, and this wonderful episode has to make me say hello! Loved it, light, refreshing and a tad silly, as it should be! can’t wait for tomorrow’s! Thanks for keeping it real! Jim

Great show! You and Joanne make a very funny team.

I love your new idea to bring on guests!! Joanne was very cool.

QOTD – I have no idea what color shirt, but i’ll bet it showed a hint of red fruit.

Great show today!

OK, I admit it, I’m in love. A gorgeous lady with a Brit accent who speaks French and is that much fun? Wow… Now I know why my GPS “voice” is a female Brit. Man o man.

QOTD: Guinness book of record re: wine? All of us Vayniacs have no clue but I’ll guess . . . German Riesling. Or maybe Champagne, my fav wine of choice.

Great show G-Man!

Cheers! (with a Brit accent)

Good interaction …..great to have guests more often. Although your wife is not going to like this king of sexy guests…..doesn’t matter if says its ok…women are women here, london, or russia….dispite of that I like the idea of showing everybody the idea of being more open at the time of tasting and evaluating a particular wine….spit it out …whatever you think, what ever you smell or taste… great show Gary….I did’t get the QOTD, But the Finca Sandoval wine I tasted from either 02 or 03 did not show the real stuff. Not much of a thunder…. and very fruit foward bomb….ok to drink but pricy for what i got…anyways keep the guests …and if they are sensual like joanne…. great

The QOTD was “What is the current Guinness Book of Records wine-related…” The answer is 42. She has a very cute way of “whirling”; that girl knows how to whirl.

A light episode, & quite extraordinary. QOTD: blue?

Gary, that looked like alot of fun to tape, great episode today and a great guest !!!!
QOTD- not sure

Don’t wanna take anything away from certain novel thunderness that today’s show brought…enjoyed the interaction between you and the guest…yet, I don’t think it was as educational as your normal shows….the analysis of each wine wasn’t very coherent with all the laughter and jokes (which I did enjoy…don’t get me wrong). Definitely a type of episode that’ll allow you to keep things fresh…but I see how it could be detrimental if such an episode were the norm. I think it was a good idea that you selected the wines that don’t have any significant ties to one another (except that the lady mentioned she had certain propensity towards them)…which made the show a lighthearted one…I may have been pissed had it been some cool selection that I would’ve definitely wanted a more serious analysis on.

Great show. Joanne is obviously very comfortable behind the camera. She needs to come back to ask a proper QOTD. Cat Food???

Hey Josh…… Take a pill Dude!

Great Show Gary

Pineapples.

Oh, and please more champagne, more blanc de blanc. It kills me. In a good way.

Big Al, what’s wrong with giving my opinion of the show? I’m just as big a fan of the show as you may be…that’s what Gary inspires people to do…to trust our own judgement… Must I succumb to some sort of peer pressure you’re imposing on me because you think you’re so cool with your “dude” language?

I was a lurker, but now I’m not. The million dollar bottle of wine didn’t do it for me, but this did. Shows where my priorities are at….

I like the idea of having non-professional wine drinkers on the show. I’m still new to the experience. Nice to see people of different wine pedigrees enjoying wine together….

There should be a list of “wines that take EXACTLY like _____”. The person who helped me get into wines always had me taste these “no brainer” types of wine, which gave me the confidence to come out and say things like “this wine tastes like old people”, which isn’t my highest compliment….

My answers to the previous QOTD, since this is my first post. I started listening (and lurking) after the (first) NPR story. Now where’s my million dollar bottle of wine?

I think Joanne should be invited back to a laid back Fri couch episode…forget the bucket. 😉

I’ve got a couple of the 04 Sandoval’s in the cellar…sounds like a winner, I’m just hoping with a bit of age they might show something other than dark fruit and alcohol.

That was a lot of fun! Thanks

This was an episode that I felt could have, and has in the past worked better with wine related guests. I felt that the wine content in this particular episode was lacking. Some great selections, and the show itself was entertaining, however not the usual WLTV that we all know and love.

Current Guiness Book of Records wine related…. births in one year? I don’t know, 14 million?

Great show you guys!!!

Gary, This show was a blast, like a few good friends having a great laugh together. The guest gigs are 2 thumbs up! Bone Marrow and Cat Food, she’s now one of US!

Wow. That episode brought the thunder
