    I remember watching you daily somewhere around 150-175. WOW, 500th show was a hell of a milestone. Congrats!!! Thanks so much for giving us an opportunity to learn more and the courage to try new wines. I had never heard of a Gavi but thanks to you we are now expanding our wine horizons. Again, CONGRATS on 500!!

    Congratulations on 500! I noticed on the reserve episode, audio wasnâ??t bleeped out that was bleeped out of the regular WLTV episode. This is just an observation not a judgment. I hope you keep your enthusiasm to make hundreds of more episodes.

    Great show! Congratulations on that.
    Cannot comment on Jets. Sorry! But what I wanted to say is Rioja wines are great, very fruity and powerful. Just got back from there.
    But when we speak about Rioja, we usually think of reds. What about whites? I had a chance to try one Chardonnay from that region. Thunder! The most interesting wine experience for me so far. Very unexpected flavors, well balanced fruit and oak, and it was so creamy and lemony fresh at the same time. Just great!

    no football for me
    I don’t think the overoaking is uncommon in Rioja reds.
    I liked the episode, but I prefer the no-audience format.
    Thanks for so many great episodes!

    Boom congrats, wristband me up.

  • J Crazy

    This was the first episode I watched with my wife!! She loved it. I’m always rappin’ about Gary and how I met him in San Fran and how everyone needs to forget the bullshiz and trust their own palate, blah blah. But after watching this with me tonight I think we have a convert. *I’ll do the Japanese subtitles*

    Awesome episode and Gawdamn if you can’t feel the love, energy and passion that creates this movement of people and love and ideas.

    Cheers always!
