Magito is pronounced Ma-Gee-toe.

Great episode Gary….i really love the blind taste aspect. Plus i love red zin so i will have to get a couple of these.

that absolutely was the funniest thing i’ve seen since you poured white pepper into your eye on accident!! ha ha..sorry man but it’s awesome that you don’t cut that stuff out! Going to pick up some Simi tonight. good show!

mindpirate
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’s exactly what i was thinking about! man i miss those things!

very nice, Hey MOTT. you should learn a card trick or something for when that happens. or even better, get a broom and go starwars kid for a few seconds!

Very entertaining, Gary! I was wondering when you might have a little mishap with those wine bottles. I’ve had a few myself just like that.

I like that you preferred the Magito over the other Zins. A few months ago I tried an awesome Zin made by Owen Roe Abbot’s Table Blend of about 70% Zinfandel as well as some Cabernet, Sangiovese and some other varietals which I can’t recall but it was the best Zinfandel I’ve ever tried to date. Hopefully, this one will be a good one to try as well. Thanks for helping to spread knowledge about wine. You’ve inspired me to learn and spread the knowledge as well.

Excellent show. More blind tastings, please!

And another please: PLEASE stop giving point scores to wine. We don’t need them — we have our palates. You don’t need them either. NO MORE SCORES!

Hey Gary, when you get RED wine on something, you can take it out with WHITE wine. (an old trick from my “sky warrier” days of traveling continuously on airplanes…..Club soda works on (almost) everything except red wine, and white wine will work on red wine!)

That was a great show! Love the blind tastings – who picked the wines for the show? Mott?

Blended wines are usually my favorites. The winemaker gets to show what he/she can do.
Good look on the shirt. Bleach works best for me.

QOTD:~
I would soak that shirt in oxy-clean for a couple days.

more Mott less Gary! 😉

The peeps love the blind tastings!!!

Scissors also work great for taking out red wine stains.

Great episode, I’m a huge Zin head and just wish there were more of it here in Japan.

Reading the book, great stuff!!

Took me 35 years to see it, but I have finally seen what a deer in headlights looks like. Nice Mott.

Hi Gary;
Your spirit is infectious-great show! YES, this Magito Zin is all about the blend and spirit of Americana. I could not have made this wine without my pals who grow these grapes for me in all these different appellations. I come from a vineyard management background and so this wine celebrates all the places I used to manage…
I hope the book tour in the Bay area went well for you.
Best wishes, and thank you.
Tom Meadowcroft, winegrower, Magito wines.

Just remembered – those candies that you were asking about were called Bonkers (I think)…

I liked the Seghesio better than you, but let it breathe a bit more. Nice slo-mo on the wine slosh. I wanted to buy the book when you hit Portland, but for a wrist band….

No QOTD? Just had a big 2001 Tenimenti Barolo and it rocked me. Life is good.

Great Zin Ep. I’ve been watching since episode 80 (or so) and have back-tracked to see all of them and it’s ABOUT TIME you splashed some vino unintentionally all over the WLTV set and yourself. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Love love love this format. Don’t get me wrong, I also love when you dive into a particular vineyard or varietal but more blind tastings would make me a happy man.

And the spill. I was watching on my iphone on the train and I just lost it. If the people around only knew I was watching a show about wine.

Keep up the great work Gary

Love the blind tasting. Keep’em coming.
Hope the shirt is ok.

Gary,

I spill all the time. The more tasting, the more I spill. Spay & Wash Double-Action ™ works well for wine stains… Great show again.

GV – Awesome show, best in awhile! The Spill broke me – I laughed for the whole show. Wine-B-Gone works wonders.

Great show!… got the blind tasting thing going on and best yet a value oriented show. Perfect! Didn’t you miss the QOTD? Of course the question would have been, “describe the last time you spilled a bottle of wine. How did it happen?”

Best,

B

I looooove Zinfandel! The spill makes this episode a classic. NICE SLOW MO!! Very nice show. Wild show! No QOTD!! I support scores; they’re a good referrence.
