    Hey Gary, great show — but it was kind of hard to hear Ronan… I’m going to see if I can snag up a couple of bottles of the ’04 Clinet.

  • Petty lurker reporting.
    Don’t know if I help by posting this but it was little distracting listening to the cameraman (Ian?) breathing, he was kinda too close to the mic.

    Other than that I have only praises, great show.

    This is the type of episode I really enjoy. Not only do you get to (virtually) taste the wines, but the particular wines that you are enjoying are put into perspective, i.e. the particular winery & region. Great stuff; keep it up Gary V.

    This is definitely a hard QOTD to answer. Maybe he could have Kevin Rose if he and Gary ever break up. 😉 Kidding… much love.

    Good fun, I think I’ll really anjoy these Bordeaux shows. I really like the ending shots of the vineyards, it’s great to see them and get a sense of the terroir. I’d welcome more of that.

    Great show Gary! I would love to see more shows that include the winery owners and wine makers. Great insight! That being said, I wouldn’t want that to happen at the expense of the shows from the office where you really break down the wines. Those are the shows where you bring the true thunder.

  • Bordeaux, gotta get me some.

    Good show, I can’t wait until I have the money to grab a couple bottles of really nice Bordeaux. Right now I’m stuck in that $40 and under price range and honestly most of the time they are under $25 a bottle. I’ve been able to find some good stuff at that price point though. Probably why I like California Zinfandel so much is because the California Cabs and the French reds I’m drinking aren’t good enough examples of that particular varietal or region. Ahhh yes, interesting indeed Daniel son.

    LOVE the Bordeaux episodes but I’m not totally sure that the French are quite ready for you.

    QOTD: Son of a Bitch! My sisters are way to old for him and my daughter’s happily married and pregnant. I just can’t catch a break 🙂

    For a percentage of the Chateau, I’ll be your girlfriend. That aside…….why are you conducting the show inside a very large oak barrel? Pretty hard to hear you’all. Really enjoyed the tour of the winery. Could use more.
