    Not bad, GV’s got the nuggs to downplay someones wine right in front of them!! I think that’s what makes me enjoy him so much, candid and honest on every show. I can’t imagine what he’s like when the reps come to the store!

    QOTD: None, What the H?

    Top 30. Heck yes.

    Nice episode, GV. Wish I could’ve made it to this, but I’m going to the one at the Davenport Hotel in Spokane. I’m looking forward to seeing the reds in part two.

    No QOTD for us here at home? Bummer. Thanks for getting this video out to us, though.

    Good ep! Always interesting to watch GV rate wines in front of the wine makers and winery owners. Looks like a great event.

    Another good show. Glad to see you brining us more episodes from the road.

    Thanks GV

    PS
    The name card on the table… as if people don’t know who you are.

  • I really enjoyed this episode; I think it demonstrates how this kind of format could seriously work for you. A live studio audience… it’s fun, and brings a new life to the show. I’m putting in a call to Food Network. 🙂 Yeah, right.. I’m sure they’ve been calling YOU, begging for such a thing.
    and a cliffhanger to boot…. sassy!

    Good effort – showing little love for the home crowd this go round but ya call it like ya see it. BTW what’s up with the wrist bands? I need to get one ASAP. Doin half a dozen wine tastings a month and I need to pimp the V band.

    I’m loving these live shows, even if the wine didn’t seem that interesting. Looks like you’re having a fun trip, and you have fans everywhere! The pink Jets bucket is still pretty funny.

    Am waiting with baited breath for Pt II. The reviews sound like some wines one might expect to come out of Washington (DC). Hopefully tomorrow you will find one that will actually be good enough to drink. Cheers to the West Coast!

    Nice stuff, Gary. I like hearing the reaction of a live audience. It would be interesting to more about the aftermath when you pan a wine. You’ve alluded to a lost friendship, but I think it would be revealing to find out how winemakers react to you.

    G-Man did you get beat up in the parking lot after that? I’m praying for your safety.

    QOTD: No I haven’t had a lot of Washington state Rieslings and Chardonnays. Will definitely try more. Cheers Washington.

    I feel somewhat bad for Gary – that seems like a very akward situation.

    Pssst…GV….enough with the “my fans” discussion. Don’t get vain on us. Still, I appreciate the on-the-road show and enjoy the sounds of glasses in the BG giving it a “whirl”.

    Gary – thanks for having the guts to call it like you see it even when your looking at the whites of their eyes. If I was stuck in a fox hole under heavy fire I couldn’t think of another person I’d want covering my back than you.

    Definately a short and awkward finish for a show. Get Mott his shirt and maybe he’d be inspired to orchestrate a more refined and balanced finish.
