    Love the Bordeaux shows, Gary. It’s great seeing the vineyard as well, and listening to the owner/winemaker talk about the 2 vintages. Great show. Wish I could find this stuff around here…

    the wine sounds great… can’t help you from the girl front… but if you come spend some time in NYC, you;ll probably meet plenty of ladies!

    QOTD- Hmm.. Help me find an French girlfriend and I try to help you find an American one. Haha. I wish.. Nice episode. I would love to visit wine country Bordeaux or Southern France. Why did you not have the lavalier mics on? You would have not picked you the echo? Anyway.. I would love to try those wines.

  • Gary behaved himself somewhat in this episode, maybe due to the fact that he wasn’t in his own digs. The sound is horrific. Splurge for some quality mics for cryin’ out loud, and quit tourturing us please. I loved that Ronan was genuinely interested in the scores, a good indication of the clout that Gary is carrying in his reviews.

    QOTD: Stay single. I don’t think too many women would pass on the French wine chateau owner thing. Milk it for all it’s worth.

    Great show, especially the vineyard mini-tour at the end. I’ll have to stop at Chateau Clinet if I ever make it over to Bordeaux.

    Gary, Gary, Gary – Math needs work. 2005 100% up on 2004. Coming down 32% from 2005 price leaves the price only 36 pts up on 2004, not 68. (eg say 2004 = 100 which makes 2005 100% up = 200. 32 down from 200 is 136 – 136 is 36% up on the original 2004 price of 100). But I’m guessing you’ve got some good people doing your finances ๐Ÿ™‚ Numbers are of value somewhere, though as you say, not necessarily with assessing wine attractiveness.

  • It’s too bad that 05 has irrevocably raised the prices of Bordeaux, but it’s good to hear 06 is so good.

    But a skilled, charming French winemaker shouldn’t have to make a call to WLTV listeners for an American gf. ๐Ÿ˜‰
