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.

    QOTD: Jancis, what a fabulous showing. Your elegance and charm complimented Gary quite beautifully. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and opinions.

    Gary, I just about lost it when you dropped the line about White Castle Sliders….awesome. I loved your clever sarcasm throughout.

    QOTD: Yes. I have a bee in my bonnet about the shows being too long sometimes, but that was 42 minutes and 57 seconds of quality. Gary, you should get Oz Clarke on too.

  • Abso-bloody-lutely fantastic!!! I can listen to Jancis forever (and she’s easy on the eye too!)…..(and we were born in the same City!!!).

    This is a candidate for best episode EVER! That middle section when you disappeared..she carried the show easily!

    QOTD – From a fellow Brit… Good idea.

  • GV – I know I have to catch up – but I needed to watch this episode. Jancis is a wonderful writer, person and guest. I’m reading her memoir now and am smitten. Thanks for getting her on you show. An inspiration to write and think about wine…

  • Sol

    Gary, that was one heck of an episode, one that will go down in WLTV history as being one of many best.

    QOTD: Absolutely, the best idea to get Jancis on the show. This IMO has the capacity to educate more people about the essence of wine. You know what will top it all; having RP in the show. This Gary will be the epitome of WLTV legacy.

    Brilliant show. Best part is seeing Gary all gooey and at his most respectful and least interrupting, with Jancis. Well done you.

  • Cameron W

    QOTD – Great idea. Enjoyed the show tremendously. I don’t see how it could ever hurt to bring two possibly different audiences together.

    Gary – when you have a guest, get two buckets. One bucket is getting really cumbersome.

  • Jack Maxwell

    Oh we liked that, it was the perfect way to introduce my parents to the joys of winelibrary TV. Jancis’s wine program was required viewing at our house back in the 80s and we were suitably impressed at her presence. In terms of the show itself, very entertaining, the grande dame and an extremely gracious host.

    QOTD Of course it was a good idea, you are no wine snob Ms Robinson

  • Dear Gary and Jancis,

    It is so refreshing to find two wine afficionados who are not swayed but what other critics say or what the “trend of the year” is.

    Balance in wine, as it is in life, is the key to happiness.

    To answer your question, Jancis, I think it was a GREAT idea for you to come to Gary’s show, and I hope you will do it again.
