    I would be such a hard worker in the vineyard if I could go. Would I get free wine for working there?

  • 11-5? Try 12-4…and you read it here first. J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets! Who has it better than Gary? I think he’ll soon be the one with the helicopter. Bordeaux Tour 2008 is on fire. Keep on rockin’ in the wine world! I’m getting such a kick out of Gary shooting out the lingo and these chateau owners with the dear in the headlights reactions. Classic! Can you say, “lost in translation”?

    QOTD: It’s just silly…Tristan was so far in the weeds and caught off guard, (but a gentleman all the same.) I’ll travel to the Bordeaux region when my artwork starts selling like it should! Leave me a comment at richardritterphotography.com!

    I can only wish to visit such a winery. I’m at a stage in my life where i can afford to rent a power cart when i play a round of golf, but it will be a couple more decades before i can budget for a winery trip.

  • QOTD: I’m hoping maybe for the 09 vintage – most likely it’s going to be the soonest I’ll be able to get out.

    Great show, keep up the great France shows.

  • Gary, I have to say I’m realy enjoying watching you make your way through the Bordeaux. I’m new to wine and all I’ve heard about Bordeaux’s is “get the ’05’s,” “You absolutely must buy cases of the ’05 vintage.” I have bought a few ’05’s but for someone who is on a budget(mostly as a result of the the economy) I can’t afford many of the bottle I come across. And the few that I do have, I’m afraid to drink. What I am getting to is that it is nice to see someone pointing out the other vintages, ones I can buy for a few bucks less, and feel like I can open and enjoy. I start my search tomorrow.
    Thank you Gary, and you’re doing a great job.
    QOTD: If anyone out there is interested in donating a plane ticket, I’ll be there ASAP.

  • La Tour Martillac is great because you can never confuse the label for any other chateau. And it is the only Bordeaux of commune AOC level that I’ve had both the white (excellent) and the red (very good). Can’t wait to see where Gary’s Bordeaux tour takes him next!

    Fun show, again. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if all the Vayniacs showed up at Tristan’s Chateau at the right time for picking?

  • Mike

    Nice show. You might want to give the French guys a little heads-up on the QOTD. I don’t think he ever figured out what you wanted him to ask a question. As always…love the shows with guests.

    The Jets 11-5? They are lucky if they finish 5-11!! Well at least they have 2 easy wins against the Dolphins, but 2 GUARANTEED losses to the PATS.

  • akellner

    The Bordeaux tour looks to be a good one. Guest was a real good sport about the show and you may have converted him to be a Jets fan. He needs a Jets tie or pocket square…

    QOTD: Not soon enough. Need figure out how to narrow the gap between the $ and the Euro
