Hmm – David – funny the remark about Aussie bombs not lasting. Many years ago I was a member of an Australian wine club. I often got 10AUD (5 US$ at the time) bottles which were 10-18 years old, and they were sublime. Gary’s done it himself on this show with the Clarendon Hills. Recently, Penfolds did a show in London, and had an original bottle of Koonunga Hill (About ’76??) which had lasted beautifully – and this is their entry level wine. Nice theory – it just doesn’t hold up as anyone who has experience will tell you.

QOTD- What did he say??? I didn’t catch a word of that!!
I’d answer it if I knew what the hell it was! haha

That was a hilarious combination- Gary & Jim!
They’re both so crazy! (The good type of crazy)
Amazing Episode!

Incredible episode! You two MAD MEN brought the Thunder!

That was exhausting! Forty three minutes of double madness…
Been trying to convince people in Britain about port for seven years and nobody has been listening to me! As you said Gary, buy 77 and 85 for investment, but also look at Oporto bottled ’70 from Taylors, Dows and Grahams (but not Warres) for drinking. They are better than the ’77 for drinking now and are stupidly cheap.

QOTD – I didn’t understand a word of that!

FUN SHOW!!!! Hurry with the California value show

Never saw the money guy’s show – what a neat dude!!! Got to TIVO him! He is a HOOT! You need to hire him! hahahaha. He needs to hire you? Well, ok, Mott should buy you both as a future investment. snicker. Maybe Jim should have eaten prior to the tastings? hee-hee.

GR8 show! GGGRRRR8888! Just as Johnny Carson had a person on the couch, you might best shine when you have Ed on the couch!

Can you have him back for a $10 wine tasting? I’d love to see his eyes when you talk about $10. smile.

Great comment over Yellowtail, very clear focus on what you are all about. And what I enjoy – trying things. I am monogamist in marriage, but a WAY wild swinger when it comes to wine. hahahaha.

QOTD: ugh?

Maybe I misunderstood your comment about the Cali-Cult wines making a mistake by shutting themselves down thru mail list, but, I for one am kinda glad they do. It would really kill me if some Saudi Prince and gobbled up every last bottle of Screagle or Harlan only to take it back and not appreciate it. They don’t need to be branded worldwide….they’ve done that at home where it matters most. Let Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the Rhone have their fame worldwide…I’m cool w/that. Just stay out of our backyard and we’ll enjoy what we have on our terms. It’s not like it’s going un-sold.

AMAZING!!

GV–Ridonculous show today…my fav of all time. Jimmy C is the man and is a perfect complement to the show. Thanks so much for doing this everyday!

Great show!! You got me very interested in investing in wine. Just a couple questions. What’s the best way to store it and where would I sell it in 10 years?

WLTV Classic! Great Show 🙂
QOTD: easy…..NV Franzia

Wow! an educational Abbott and Costello routine – this is a classic!

Pretty fun episode!

QOTD: 2006 Vigna Rionda – Massolino Barbera d’Alba

Fantastic Show!!! The Passion Bucket is overflowing!!!

Two of my favorite people to watch, combined into one show again.

Amazing! Amazing!! Amazing show!!!!!! Super fun!!!! Love it love it love it!!!

I have to agree that the two of you do make a SUPERB ON AIR DUO!!! Thanks!!! 🙂

43:22? I could have watched for an hour and 43! Great show. Booyah for Jim and Gary.

I know I am in the minority, but I have to say I really didn’t feel the show. Maybe it was the hype and I was expecting a big time wine guy/maker or maybe it was all the talk of trading commodities. It was just not what I was expecting from the Thunder show. I think you will do well on his website and you two had chemistry and the energy was great, but it just seemed the episode dragged on and on. It was entertaining, but I would have trouble putting this show anywhere near the top 50.

I think my monitor asploded.

QOD: no idea what he said. But then again I’m more interested in drinking it than investing in it, so.

Great show! WLTV and Mad Money are probably the only two shows that I watch every day, and it was great to see Jim on the show today.

QOTD – Maybe white zin or those fruity wine cooler things?

This will be a super classic episode for sure down the line.

I wish I had money to invest in some 1st growth Bordeaux…maybe one day…

QOTD: I didn’t understand what the question was so Im gonna have to leave this area unanswered.

Can’t wait for episode 500!

–RH

Instant-classic! Kramer + Vaynerchuk = gold.

It was fun watching this one-upsmanship contest of olympic proportions!! Too much yak and re-yak and not enough focus on the wine for me; but interesting as a change of pace. Personally I never buy a wine I don’t plan to drink myself. Not to say than I’ve never sold wine – because I have. It’s just not what I buy wine for.
QOTD: Wines don’t go down, dude. Except when a recognized brand prices on its rep and proves to be a dud and they’re left with a bunch — but then — why would you want this wine?
