WTH, dude! How come you had to keep interrupting that poor guest? NEW RULE: No more cocaine for GaryV before an episode with a guest. Let the man finish a sentence, fercryinoutloud, quit trying to put words into his mouth and finish his sentences. Man alive…. At least he was a great sport, putting up with your interruptions calmly, cooly, suavely.

QOTD: Alimony, plus 2 kids in college. THAT’S why [not].

Tremendous episode! Brought a smile to my face, no, tears! One of the best shows in WLTV’s storied history! Best prize ever!
QOTD: I’ve been to the Ventoux… and… wait… I’ll save my joy for the contest!

Fantastic episode!! Very interesting. Thanks for not interrupting your guest so much GV — I know you don’t mean to but in the past that has been a gr8 annoyance — anyways just a super episode.

I really enjoy the shows with winemakers. QOTD – I have been to Provence, Avignon, and stayed in Gigondas recently. The area is great for wine, food, and relazing.

Incredible show!!! My wife and I had so much fun meeting Fredrich.

QOTD: Don’t have the flo to make on an international wine tour at this point but pumped about a future opp.

Love the new intro!

That’s all I got.

Great Show. He’s a sexy Frenchman–definitely brought the thunder.
QOTD: Haven’t visited France. Love visiting the USA. Maybe someday I will go to France—but on vacation. Not a working one which the contest seems to be.

Very excited about the Mott T-shirt!

QOTD: I did live in France for 4 months, and now I regret not exploring the wine regions to nearly the depth that I would if I was given the opportunity again.

I want his hair. Great guest, speaks fluent English, handsome and owns a French winery . . . he’s living in my dream world.

QOTD: Been to France, love the country and the people (Sarkozy is a major improvement) and will go back again soon.

à la votre!

C’mon, you gave the Terrasses an 85 … that’s a very good wine, right? Not really panning it all that much.

Thing is, I think that’s the only one of the wines you blind-tasted that I didn’t try, and now I really wish I had. I’ll have to pick one up when I am back in town Friday.

Thanks again for coming out to IA though … thoroughly worth the drive (and yes, I did arrive home safely just after 3 am).

I would deeply deeply love to do the contest, but I can’t – I’m down south that week with the relatives saying goodbye to a member of the family. Thanks anyway, though.

It’s Berzerk, not Berzerker.

QOD: I got nothing, but thanks for reminding me to get a freakin’ passport already. Next time, I promise. Oh, and it probably has something to do with my French being utter merde.

Great episode. QOTD – Cuz I haven’t been to France 🙁 Congrats on Mott getting his shirt!

QOTD: The euro conversion sucks…..Paris was expensive enough…..

Holy crap an intro! Indeed RIP Carlin, my earliest memories of my father laughing were watching that guy on HBO.
QOTD: Never been, always wanted to go to France, but I guess the passion wasn’t there…yet. More on that in the contest. Thank you Gary for rocking me out of my chair with the thunder!

Love the show. Love the t-shirt. Love the ending. Love the winery.

I was listening to this broadcast in the background as I am writing and trying to get this crazy website going…and the thing that catches my ear is:

wireless internet… in France…

And I wonder if my American computer will speak French WiFi? When my housemate was here last year (an intern from France working at FFC in Sonoma), her French computer didn’t speak American WiFi.

And how’s that for a public-three-dimensonal-neon- capital “L” over my head.

Fredrich is completely charming, what a great guest (and show)! Please don’t wait 3 years to invite him back!

And YAY! Finally! Mott has his shirt. It is about time! I am most pleased.

QOTD: Because when I was young and had the means and the time, I was ignorant of the regions of France. Had I gone then, I might never have come home… 😉

Go Mott. got to get the shirt.
Just got back from Iowa City and saw much of what you saw and some of the flooding in Indiana as well. Wish all of those people well. I second GV here give what you can. This was a slow moving Katrina.
I love the south of France but haven’t been to Pesquie winery and vineyards so I should go.

QOTD: Because while I have had the pleasure of seeing Frnace in person, I have never had the time to explore the wine world.

Gary and Fredrich,

Great Great show. Way to bring the thug nasty thunder today. Freaking amazing contest. I almost crapped myself.

QOTD – Due to insufficient funds, I have yet to visit France, but it is on the to do list of world travel and Winery touring.

qotd: I haven’t been able to see as much of France as I would like because of money and time restrictions, but I would love to see the Ventoux. Every year at this time I make an effort to drink plenty of rose wines from that area, but I have found some of the reds to be very nice as well. Thanks for another great show. I agree that it’s better not to score the wines when you have a guest who represents them in some way.

Gary, gary gary, you need to rethink your Revision 3 editing. I just watched the show on Revision 3 and was not entirely impressed. I love WLTV and Revision 3, I thought the pairing would be amazing. Your personality just didn’t shine with that edit. I come to WLTV and Revision 3 for the content but also for the personalities. I recommend the show being posted just as it is on WLTV. If you have any control over your content there lets make sure they know how to properly view the thunder!

Great intro sequence, really professionally done. The show just keeps getting better.

QOTD: I haven’t been because this is a great big world and I am only 33!
