    Great show. I’ve got to find some Chateau Clinet 2005. I am relatively new to wine (less than 2 years)and I have been truly enjoying both Bordeaux and Southern Rhone. Too bad the Euro is kicking our butts which prices many French wines out of my reach except for special occasions. Still looks like some Bordeaux futures should be in my near future.

    QOTD: Let me introduce Ronan to my 28 year old daughter, she is a dish, a spitting image of her mom. Unfortunately she does not drink wine, but I would gladly drink her share.

    I Love this type of Episode! Good interview. Great insight to the wine maker and what he was thinking, very cool!

    QOTD – I have a great friend living in D.C. who is not freaking intellegent and very also hot! Ronan, you email me back and I’ll get you two in touch, I think she may even be traveling to Spain soon on business, and your are only a quick hop,skip and a jump from there…;)

    Unbelieveable episode. I’ve never been to France, but Gary has taken me there. I tought there was supposed to be some big surprize at the end of the episode, but maybe that’s coming later.

    QOTD: You can’t have my daughters.

    Ah, Bordeaux, you are lucky Gary! Great episode, and thanks for the look around the vineyard. I’ve heard that in some parts of Bordeaux the vineyards have been passed down so much that there could be hundreds of owners in a few acres of land.

  • This “kid” runs a chateau? Please . . . and he’s looking for a girlfriend? Stick with the wine my man, it’s much easier on you, trust me.

    That aside, a great show. I lovvvvve Bordeaux and it doesn’t get much better than this.

  • Hehehe… Sorry, I can’t help with the American girlfriend request. 🙂

    Great show!

    Was the show uploaded incorrectly? It’s supposed to be #502, but the opening was “Episode #503”.

    Looking forward to seeing more!

    Interesting show. Full of info. It’s good to have a winemaker share his knowledge about the background of wine-making. Drinking wine, a lot is taken for granted…A lot of work goes into producing a fine product. Makes you wonder about all the made-in-China crap most americans (and quebeckers) are overly used to.

    Great shout-out to all the people involved in wine-making that go unnoticed and unheared of. Next time we open any bottle of wine, we should thank the un-named…

    QOTD: I’m too old. And I’m married. Good luck.

    Good show.

    We bought 2005 Bordeaux but no big names. Nothing very expensive. Hopefully it’s good enough for our palates.

    Gary – You are living large. You are a rogue and a rapscallion.. or so says Sir Gary. And where is he? We need a dose of chastisement as only Sir Gary can bring.
