Big shout out to Mott!! I loved the slow mo of Gary V spilling the vino. You need to do more slow mo shots in the future. I laughed so hard I almost popped the button on my shorts. Thnaks Mott for everything you do, and you too Gary :).

Go Zin! I agree on the value.

Try Wine Away for the wine stain. We bring it with us tasting because it works so well.

Pretty sneaky putting that blend in there. I like the blind tasting format. I trust you to review the wines honestly but as you said with the Simi, there are obviously preconceived notions that can come into play.

Hope the shirt’s alright. I enjoy Zins. The last I had were Dancing Bull and Ravenwood. Good show…Maybe the Primitivo vs the Zins would make a good show

Really a great show. Add my thumbs – up to the blind tastings. Keeps me on the edge of my chair until the results are in.

You should try taking up juggling 4 open bottles of really dark wine for your next act.

Enjoy the Golden City by the Bay, and go see the “Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill.”

I have really started to enjoy the red Zinfandels lately. Oliver Winery here in Indiana makes a pretty darn good one actually.

I enjoy the blind tastings every now and then. Keeps it spicy. Now about those fourth gen wrist bands… I think the street team should have dibs on some of those 😉

Zin is my favorite red! Great show – love the blind format.

Hey Gary.. you forgot the QOTD… so I’ll just answer that we had a killer Mauritson Zin the other night. More than $15, but really great. Great show, but having your mom take care of the stain on your shirt? Just sayin…..

Great episode. New territory to explore. Thank you so much for the direction. So many wines, so little time.

Great show, except you should have just sucked it up and kept going. Does this mean you are a neat freak? What a pregnant pause!!

See you next week as the Wizard.

great show gv you have cat like reactions.. like when you caught the glass that blew of the table. But the flying wine adds a nice dimension.
Mott next time you get to ad lib throw us a couple Gary stories..

Kick Ass Show, GV! I’ve often thought that blends tend to outperform 100% varietals… especially when the blend is dominated by one varietal b/c it provides identity (in New World wines). I can’t wait for you to come to Cleveland, it’s gonna be Hott!

Very nice – real life – I spilled it, I recovered it, I need a new shirt! Very very funny. Glad you didn’t start over! I love Zin’s – one of my fav’s. I even make some from wine kits to great success!!!

Always enjoy the blind tasting. The Seghesio Old Vine Zin is a lot better but cost $10 more. I want the next gen wrist band!

Love the bind tasting, Gary. The more, the better, and $15 is a pretty good price point. Enjoy S. F. How did you like Book Passage? It’s a great, independent store, holding its own against the chains.

you seem more into the show during the blind tasting shows. Please keep doing them.

Hey Gary! Having spilled many a red wine on my crisp white shirts back in my server days, let me just say – a 1/4 cup of bleach with a splash of club soda.. blot it on and the stain disappears! I’m tellin ya, it will look like the wine was never there. Something about the fizzy bleach action.

Great show by the way.. I’m loving these blind tastings! Can’t wait to see what the next special gift is for the 2-bookers! Just used the free shipping code to buy 4 bottles of varietals I’ve never had (including carmenere and tempranillo!) Thanks for helping me expand the PAL!

brown paper bags. i want to run out to the liquor store and get a 40 and drink in public! great episode. really really enjoy the blind battles.

Great show GV, love the blind tastings! Also, I am about half way through the book and really enjoying it.

Q-????

Love the blind tastings!

Good ep.

Great show tonight, one of my favorites in awhile. Keep up the good work.

Don’t worry about the wine, I think you doing better then 99% of us… I have caught just about ever show and the count is only 1 broken glass and 1 bottle of spilt wine. Pretty impressive
