    QOTD: I would look for more than just ‘American’, you could do better as far as girlfriends go :} That is my answer is far as the question goes. Worst QOTD that I’ve seen so far.

    BTW: Love the end of the video when we get to see the vineyards, etc. Good stuff.

    A great Show ! Much better than #500, but not as good as #499. I especially liked the way Ronan grinned when you rated the wines. I really enjoy the shows when you have a guest to bounce off of. You and Kramer were a couple of madmen on 499, but it made for a great show. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching. Oh Yeah, the wines were good too ! 😉

    QOTD: I was joking with a young lady I know, that happens to be fluent in French, about this episode. After she saw Ronan she insisted that I recommend her to him. So Ronan, if you want a knock-out Blonde, just graduated law student from Minnesota, Sarah says her passport is up to date.

    Great episode.

    That QOTD was terrific! I would say that, as a French owner of a Chateau in France who makes delicious wine. he should have very little trouble finding an American girlfriend. Good luck to him!

  • QOTD: Sorry, can’t help you there. Maybe send me a few bottles of your best and that might help.

    Love the change of scenery and the vertical tasting! Any chance of a trip to Chateauneuf-du-pape this year??

    QOTD: Seriously, all you need to do is fly to NY, you’ll have a girlfriend by the end of your first night.

    Mais 26 ans et vous gérez ce vignoble! Incroyable! C’est bizarre…je serai tout près de Pommerol cet automne pour un stage à Saillans avec un vigneron!

    OMG – That is, without a doubt, the most adorable guest you have ever had. If I was not a married 42 year old mommy – I would send my “resume”!!!

    Gary, thanks for a great show. I absolutely love the format, and getting the inside scoop on a terrific small production wine. You are slowly turning me into a Bordeaux drinker despite myself. That’s some serious thunder!

    Happy/safe travels.
