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.

    I cannot believe it! This was the best episode ever. Gary, congratulations on getting Jancis Robinson on your show- what a wonderful achievement. You did a great job talking with her and the content was really interesting. I am truly inspired.

    QOTD: Jancis, it was a great idea to come on Gary’s show. I have great respect for your work, and thought it was nice to see two very different people come together and talk about wine. Thank you!

  • Kodi

    Great show, great decision to come on as a guest and show that you are willing to reach out to a different crowd. When are you going to start your own wine VLOG so that Gary can come on and shake up your purple Page members?

    Gary, thanks for curbing your enthusiasm with this Jancis and taking heed to the comments after Randall’s interview. I could see you really holding back… it is greatly appreciated and shows you are not too big to listen to your audience – kudo’s to you and all the thunder your bring.

    How about going to Ridge Montebello and doing a tasting and tour with Paul Draper?!?!?! I think the Vayneyacs will be amazed with it’s history and beauty…

    QOTD: It wasn’t a good idea, it was a great idea! 🙂 I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the woman behind some of the books in my wine library, and your dry wit was a wonderful counterbalance to GaryV’s fun in-your-face style.

    Fun episode, and I certainly learned quite a bit.

    Absolutely great episode and this was definitely the right thing for Jancis Robinson to do. Had this same bottling at the Ridge tasting room in February and really liked it. The blend is simply what is grown in that vineyard all together. Now you have me wanting to go to Spain to taste Sherries at the source. I didn’t know they would lose that much as I often keep them for 1-2 years. If you have no way of comparing there is no way to know. Thanks Jancis and GV.

    Good Day:

    QOTD: Great idea. I’m a level 3 student taking WSET and have been a big JR fan for some time. The books and study material have been at bedside for years now. Thanks for all the hard work keeping your books updated as the hard work is not overlooked.

  • Answer: Good idea! I like to see the masters and I like to see Gary with a companion to reveal the contrasts between what people taste and smell in these wines.

    Very nice guest. A bit too much on the interruptions of her tho. I can hear you every day, but JR? Come on!
    Kodi has a great idea about getting Draper on and tasting thru some of the Ridge wines. But let him be the star.

  • Holy cow! My wife and I visited Argyros in Santorini during our honeymoon in May. Absolutely the best wine on the island in my opinion. I am so glad you covered it.

    QOTD: It’s cool that a “legend” like JR was on the program. I think she has a very different point of view which is why I think it was a valuable episode.

    GV, your NOT interrupting too much, I don’t know what people are whining about (no pun intended). Keep it up, barrage the questions, get them out there and as many as possible. That’s what an interview is all about.

    Gary – How can you mention Jancis (queen of wine critics) and Robert Parker (human phylloxera)in the same sentence? For one thing she hates the man (and rightly so). Wonderful guest and a terrific show.
