  • Love Zinfandel and love Magito!!! So happy to see you include it in this blind tasting, along with some other great wines too. Magito has me believing in the power of good wine blending. According to their website (www.magitowines.com) it’s actually pronounced “muh-gee-toe” and the Zin is called Panorama to represent all the varietals in the blend. Zins rule!

    Just got home from a ladies only wine-tasting and guess what I spilled merlot on my white capri pants.It was worth it. The wines paired with food by a reputable chef were Sterling chardonnay and merlot, Canoe Ridge merlot, Moon Mountain cab and a Canadian late vintage. Only the last called CEV was available locally. Nice night, then your show. Life is good! Tomorrow I check out zins here in Montreal.Laundry time, yawn.

  • Long time lurker…first comment.

    Loved the episode. The blind taste is something my staff and I do at work all the time. It’s really great to see what you think of a product without any preconceived notions.

    I also need to give some love to Roboto on the desk. Awesome.

    Love the blinds just about as much as I love zins (which is a lot). The only problem I see in most of them is agebility, but thats okay since it just means I get to drink them sooner.

    Also what is up with two days without QOTDs?

    Somehow I see the spillage a player in the spoof videos to come. Nice shout out to Mom, “hey Mom, check my laundry”! You never know what you’re going to get from the Vaynernation… Mott, you might want to have a plan B ready in case of future unexpected camera time. Gary was sooo discombobulated he forgot QOTD! I love my WinelibraryTV!!!!

  • Thanks for the chuckle, damn that’s funny, good job Mott! Good job Gary reviewing the Zins blind(I hope to use the free/ship coupon before it expires). Good tip up there Kezza – bleach and club soda.
    One time was at a tasting and my buddy dropped an entire bottle on the floor. So no biggie about a little spill. GV was just a little amped (it’s natural for GV).

    Is that Roboto from He-Man riding a my little pony?
    I got to thinking about the candy you were describing, and part of me thinks it was the old Bonkers candy. How great was that?

    That was classic. I LOL when the bottle went over! And the slow-mo replay was great.

    Blind tasting is a great format.

    Great move with the wine flip. Can we call it a wine flip, on slo-mo almost a perfect arc onto the shirt. Don’t you guys use Wine away? Gets it out every time for me. Love Zinds so I go to the Zind fest every year. Thanks for the blind tasting.
