    Nice job with #500, was lots of fun to watch! I had a chance to try the Bodegas Primicia Rioja Reserva and liked it very much; my palate seems to like a hint of poopy poop. Rioja has not been on my radar screen before but that will change.

    GV,

    I leave comments all the time and even sent in for a wristband…still nothing. Help a brother out, yo! Even if I don’t get one, you’re still alright with me.

    Great episode even if the wines were “Meh”. I love CrushPad and the whole idea of making wine for yourself. Jets 21 Oakland 14

    As usual, great show. I think the only thing we were missing was the Junkyard Dog, Jimmy Superfly, and Mr. Fuji.

    So, big congrats on the 500th episode…..loving it! Never tasted the oak monster on my Muga, so I must be palate shy!

    Hoping you are mailing our wristbands all the way to Singapore…..the emerging Vayniak group here is crying out for a wristband!

    Keep up the good work Gary V!
