QOTD- My “pal” is going to learn to embrace Old World style wines. It’s getting a bit burnt out on many New World wines. Also going to embrace harder to find varietals.

Gary,

Vivian’s video was so great. I also have to admit when you put the glass to the camera I took a WHIFFY WHIF!

QOTD: My PAL in the next year will be gettin’ funky!!!

When I see all of the current, high tech creativity that is happening today it makes me wish that I were 30 years younger and more adept technology wise. Great video! Vivian is a star. Super idea and narration. You must be pretty jazzed to know that you inspired all this.

QOTD: I hope that it will continue to become more global. Interesting note. I was in three different chain grocery stores here in California today and realized that their wine aisle(s)contained about 80-90 % California wine. Any way you slice it, that’s pretty parochial.

Great show again GV! I am going to try and find that espelt saulo somewhere here in London (too bad you don’t ship to us directly 🙁 )

QOTD: My palate should be somewhere where I can actually smell past the alcohol and “wine smell”… I still feel a bit like AJ in his B-day episode… I’ll get there, just keep making these great shows man!
