It was absolutely a good idea to come on the show. I love picking up tidbits of info which this episode gave me quite a few.

What a great episode, no offense Gary, you rule, but Mdme. Robinson, I mean come on… she over rules!!!…

I would have loved for it to be a bit longer, that would be my only complaint….

Bring her back soon!!

please, can someone spell the name of that wine blogg they talk about at the end???…thanks!

oh, and one more thing, I am now a purple-pager… thanks to GV for that.

Some nice videos (including one with Gary at breakfast that same day) once you join http://www.jancisrobinson.com

To sum up:

1. We all loved the show. I would say top three for sure
2. We mostly thought she needed (and any guest) their own spit-bucket
3. We praised Gary for showing more restraint than normal, although interruptions are still there (and NOT for keeping the flow of the show, sorry, they are just interruptions)
4. We would love to have her back.

I think in general, Vayniacs feel very honored for a guest of such class, knowledge and stature to visit the show. It must have been wonderful for GV as well. We would like to know (maybe on a show this week) what you thought of her coming to WLTV.

Next UP: Hugh Johnson, Mr. Parker himself, or one of the guys at WS, I’m sure James Suckling would do it…

Great idea to come on the show Jancis! It was one of the best episodes ever. Gary even kept his mouth shut a little more than normal when he has a guest so you know he was happy to have you on the show. Gary, please get an extra spit bucket for your guests; you have not once remembered to offer it to them when you are done spitting.

Ok show. I liked other guests better.

It was a great idea to come NJ! One of my favorite episodes in a long time…AMM

Jancis was great best ever

Bring her back

QOTD Great idea & GREAT SHOW

One of the best. Keep doing what your doing Gary.

Much appreciated. Best of all, Jancis is my age. Ya! 58 rules.

Sorry about that outburst.

Amazing show, just watched in my iTunes subscriptions but had to log on to make a comment. Gary you’re really bringing thunder with some amazing guests in this last while. Great interview and questions. Absolutely fascinating!

QOTD: Wine lovers need to be united. Yes, it was an excellent idea. The bridge needs to be built between everyday wine drinkers and wine geeks.

Recently I went to a lunch for Andrew Will wines, invite only for restaurant wine buyers. There were 12 people total, and 1 in particular stood out to me because of his snobbiness. He acted like he was above everyone in the room, including the rep from AW. That aside, it was reassuring to see the 11 others enjoying wine and treating each other like family.

QOTD:
It was a wonderful idea. It was a pleasure watching, and listening to you talk about what you do. Also it was great to watch Gary react to your opinions. Thank you for sharing your time with us.

Excellent show. I was quite surprised to see who the guest was.

QOTD: Definitely! Would love to see you again!

Really good idea. Nuff said.

QOTD: HELL YEAH.

Really enjoyed the show. GV, you did a little better at letting your guest get a few words in. Love the way she jabbed you with the comment on primitivo.

QOTD – It was an excellent idea for you to come on this show. We are all big fans of wine, just not with all of the pomp and circumstance. Wine should not be intimidating to people. A lot of the stuffed shirts speak of wine at such lofty levels that it can intimidate the less informed. Let’s face it – it is a beverage! It is a beverage that is fun to smell, taste, and drink.
Nice dig on Gary! I look forward to readin your books!

Ms. Robinson –

My answer to your QOTD (question of the day) is an emphatic “YES, it was an excellent and much appreciated good idea to grace Gary’s show with your presence and insights!!!!!!”. Thank you so much for agreeing to appear!!!!! His approach may be rough at times, but the core of his message is truly inspired . . . Trust and expand your own palate. Tast varietals you’ve never tasted before. If you like something, great! Drink up! It doesn’t matter what the critics say.
Gary – Thank you for asking her to appear!!!!!!
Fantastic show! She deserved a two part show as well! Would have loved to hear more about her thoughts regarding the screw-top closure as it seemed like she was hinting at some sub-optimal effects early in the show.
I’ve been interested in port of late, but sherry is another wine that I need to explore more thoroughly.

QOTD: Great idea. GV clearly respects you. It was your show for a day.

Leaving a comment because I am tired of feeling guilty when Gary chides the lurkers….me.

I couldn’t believe my podcast. Jancis, wow. Great guest and a great show. Gary held himself back very well.

QOTD: Whichever members of Jancis’ purple pages were concerned about her visit should be invited to be on the show as well. Isn’t it a rule of the Universe that you are friends after drinking wine together?

I opened and drank my last bottle of Sherry in honor of Ms. Robinson’s visit. I don’t know much about it other than it was damn good. for the true geeks…Apostoles Palo Cortado muy viejo…20 bones when I bought it…..nectar. If it was dull from being in my cellar for a year I am to naive to know.

QOTD: Totally great idea. You are not a wine snob, but a classy, legendary wine expert. It is so important to teach Americans that there is such a thing.

Dare I say my favorite show.

Thank you both for this.

Craig

Incredible show, one of the best. I think the first wine show I’ve ever seen was Jancis Robinson on Wine, and my favorite daily show to watch is Wine Library TV, so the combination was exceptional to me. Jancis, you could not have picked a better show to be on to help as many people as possible get more interested in wine. Gary’s show is a revelutionary and thanks to superb guests like you it will continue to be so. Thanks to both of you for expanding my palate, and many others!

QOTD: great idea, loved hearing your opinions and opening me up to new wines if never had. thanks, come again 🙂

QOTD:
Great idea!
Come back again soon.

This is the finest show yet! I have been a viewer for about four months, and a very loyal viewer. Having Jancis on was outstanding. To get views from “abroad” was fascinating. Between her show and the one with Tim Hanni, what an incredible streak! Keep up the great work. And, Jancis, you sometimes get a bad rap in the states because of your differences with Parker, but I must say that you are quite the Lady. I have always admired your work and you are quite charming. I have become a much bigger fan after watching this show. And, even though some of your fans think Gary is “nuts”, you must admire his honesty and straight talk. Both of you should take a bow!

AWESOME show!! Gary, I am so impressed and proud of you for getting the legend Jancis Robinson on your show!! For this I say to JR, YES, this was a great idea to guest on WLTV… I loved this episode and frankly I am a big fan of you (JR) and have several of your excellent books. Gary puts so much energy and dedication into WLTV and your generous appearance on his will thrill all the “Vayniacs”. Cheers
