I think our French friend was getting a little tipsy towards the end there!

QOTD: Just came back from Paris and Nice (we took the train between locations) – Paris was great, should have skipped Nice and gone to Bordeaux instead.

QOTD: I will be there when both kids are out of college….

GV you had a typo on the board behind you….it said 11-5 for the Jets in 08…suppose to be 5-11….i knew you would want to know….

Doesn’t get any better than Bordeaux especially the distinguished guests. I hope you are visiting Reignac. That will make my day, no year!

QOTD: I will come to Bordeaux very, very soon after a stop in Reims at Chateau Boyer (Les Crayeres) which has been one of my greatest trips in my lifetime. I’m have begun a new quest for the Chardonnay from Laurent-Perrier that I had during dinner.

Cheers!

P.S. Why oh why did I have to look at that !@@#$% sign about those stinking Jets beating the Colts in 1969!!! It had to be the worse year of my life and you go and broadcast it live! Thank goodness I love ya.

11-5 in ’08? Keep dreamin’

Still not feeling the french shows, guess its just a conflict of styles.

QOTD: Not until I start feeling french wine other than CDP. Plus there are so many other places where the dollar is rocking that has great wine, see Argentinia.

Love the shows from France. Too bad wines are hard to find here.
Don’t know who is better looking, Sasha or Tristan.
QOTD: When the dollar gains some strength agains the Euro.

Keep the tours coming Gary!

Its almost painful to watch your guests squirm when they have to think of the question of the day on command. Maybe you should give them an advance warning. Questions would definitely be more interesting.

Loved how you startled him at the beginning!

Great show!

Another good episode.

Can’t wait to see the rest of the tour! Love the Bordo tastings.

He has a “what have I gotten myself into” look on his face at the start of the show. I was pretty jealous of you getting to try all that fabulous wine though!

QOTD: I’m coming when I win the contest!

Good show. I’m not sure there was a question in that QOTD, but what the hell.

Great guy! I so jealous of your travels.

QOTD: When I win the contest…

Great show. I’m not familiar with the chateau but will look it up. You had to dance pretty hard not to trash Mr. Kressman’s first vintage.

Great stuff! Technically one of the ugliest episodes but the content and atmosphere were fantastic. Way to go.

Hey Gary, this email ends my lurker status. I have been watching for a couple of months and I love your show. I do have a question was the “86 you tried a bit funky? I ask not only because of your comments on bottle variation But you only took one taste and it was the only wine your guest spat out.

Gary V–Great Show! Tristan—Kellen Clemens or Pennington?

qotd: I’m there as soon as I can finagle a first class ticket ( or business…that would be nice). No more cattle cars for me!

I agree with the last respondent. You are so fortunate to be meeting these gentlemen. I would rather shake their hand than any pop or sports star in the U.S. You have to love that European genuiness. Man, I sure I get to do that some day. Scratch that, I will do that some day. Great show.

QOTD: Gimme a time and place and convince my mother. I’ll be there then 😀

Absolutely loving these tours, Gary! Yet another great episode, and what a great gesture Tristan offered up for some Vayniacs! It will be so nice to see some people get to visit, and hopefully get some great feedback from them on the experience.

QOTD: I’m coming as soon as I can!! Bordeaux is definitely on the list of places to visit!

Rivetting – as expected. Again, I LOVE these eps.
My schedule’s free next June…
QOTD: I don’t know exactly, but it will likely be on my next trip to France.

He seemed like a pleasant fellow.

I hope the Jets go 11-5 this season. I may even root for them. But the Patriots will go 13-3, sorry.
QOTD: Hey what happened to that trip to France contest?

Very cool episode. Keep them coming. Love the onsite episodes.
