I’ve had that shiraz, maybe a diff vintage but i remember that funk and the tar, along with what seemed like a tootsie roll that was dropped in the dirt

    Gary, Great show! It really rocks that you are in India. Can you bring back a few hundred cases of the d’ori for the vayniacs? I would be really interested to try out that wine. New adventures. It’s all good…. Nice laid-back feel in the darkness/

    Gary!

    Back from vacation and am trying to catch up on the past week and a half of WLTV episodes. Great show! Love the energy! Was wondering what kind of wines India is producing and sure ‘nough, you came through!
    Though I’m a Niner fan, I’m actually happy that you’re happy about #4. The Jets certainly are in a better position at QB than the Niners are ๐Ÿ™

    Nice show dude, Iยดm actually starting up a marketing Wineshow next week .. in Europe ๐Ÿ™‚

    Gotta seek out that Chateau d’Ori next February when the family and I find ourselves in India.

    Have you tasted the whites from SULA Vineyards, Gary? They are much better than the red you had.

  • Tony V

    Uh…Can someone please explain to me what the fascination is with being the first few people to leave a comment. Who cares?? Especially if you don’t even leave a comment at all. I guess I just don’t get it.

    QOTD: Good job Gary landing the India trip and #4. But what’s to become of dear ole # 11 ?? Looks like he’ll prob be heading somewhere else…

  • See! I’m always quick to comment! haha

    – Delighted for you, Gary! Go Jets!
    Not sure about the whole asian wine thing…
    just don’t want them butting into the European market, making Bordeaux prices ever higher so that I can never taste a Chat. Latour or a Margaux!

  • finally, a postcard from india. good start for sure.
    i am sure taking into consideration of the size of india, there must be some good hillsides that can do the job.
    the thing that scares me though is a sense of place. why would i buy wine from india that tastes like Ca cab? i want the wine to taste like “india” and no where else

    Good show Gary!

    Your rant at the beginning (about the taxation of exports to protect the local wine market) is the very same thing that was happening in Canada (especially in BC) before free trade. NAFTA opened the country up to much better wine at a much lower price and resulted in *many* vineyards replanting vines from a lot of hybrids to vinifera varieties.

    When “old vines” means planted pre-88, you know you’re dealing with a young wine country.
