line of the day – ‘my professor of video is Chris Mott’ in reply to Jancis’ – ‘my professor of sherry is….’

Loved the show. I found the chemistry between the two really worked. It was nice to see someone totally confident in their observations no matter what Gary thought, and you could see Gary really enjoying the knowledge Jancis brought to the show. I laughed a lot during the episode, especially at Gary’s winks to the camera and his ‘Bee in my bonnet’ comments. Superb.

  • Monday’s child is fair of face.
    Tuesday’s child is full of grace.
    Wednesday’s child is full of woe.
    Thursday’s child has far to go.
    Friday’s child is loving and giving.
    Saturday’s child works hard for a living,
    But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
    Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

    I’m a Monday…just really good looking.

    Great show, Gary. Best interview of a guest you’ve ever done, in my opinion. I’ll run out and buy the Ridge zin.

    I’m a Tuesday. What is “grace” in modern parlance? 😉

    Awesome show! Jancis was far less Eurocentric than I expected. She showed well. I’d give her a 19 on the European scale. Is Michael Broadbent from Decanter still alive? Do you think he’d come on?

    Love the Santorini wines. My wife and I were there in September and fell in love with the whites. I smuggled back a late harvest Nykteri – fantastic!

    QOTD – Brilliant, Jancis! You just earned yourself a whole new fan base.

    When you think about it Jancis was the original Gary, of course in a much more refined way 🙂 But you both are QPR seekers and wine lovers, not snobs. Well buddy, it’s all down hill from this week 🙂

    QOTD: It certainly was THE BEST for all of us. Hope it was good for you too.

  • Wow! Great show Gary! I have one of her books!

    Ridge is a powerhouse when it comes to zins. Always a safe bet when I see it on a wine list that its going to be goooood.

    Thanks Jancis for coming in the show!

    QOTD: Yes Yes Yes! A great idea!
