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: best idea ever!

  • That was great!!!

    QOTD: Thank you Jancis, it was a total pleasure…you did a good thing coming to visit the Vaynernation!

    Best show ever. Been a fan of Jancis for decades. The Jancis Robsin wine course aired on PBS years ago. Sorry GV, you “gave it a go,” but you’re way, way out of your league.

    qotd: Great idea. Only a snob would think otherwise.

    GARY!!
    OMG!! Jancis Robinson is brilliant and to see her here only makes me a bigger fan..of WLTV, YOU & JANCIS! I own her book “How To Taste”. Outside of my family & select friends, Ms. Robinson was the only “educator” of wine that I referenced or sought-out. Her style of not dictating what to drink and when and why…is much aligned with your philosophy. Thank you for bringing her!!!
    QOTD: ummmm…hellooo….. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Gary, you know how you have “Our Favorite Episodes” on the far right of this page? Time to add another!

  • Dr T from N. Carolina

    Gary — a great show, a great guest (don’t argue with her about sherry!) I think it was a great idea and thought this time the difference in approaches worked well

  • Dr. Dan

    WOW…WOW…WOW. You weren’t kidding about a major WLTV guest. I just bought the World Atlas of Wine last week, and added it to the other big, fat wine book in my collection of two.

    QOTD: It was good for US that Jancis appeared on WLTV. I can’t imagine that there’s anything that Jancis could do to damage her cred, even schlepping over to Springfield NJ. Not only a fabulously talented wine writer, but Jancis seems to be a very genuine and charming person as well.

    outstanding show!!! QOTD:When is part 2??

  • brorjace

    When I first loaded up the page for today, I totally did a double take! Jancis is huge with me, I have read almost everything she has written (Including the whole Oxford Companion), so it was an awesome show for me. She handled herself very well, and definately kept it interesting. So yes Jancis, it was a great idea to come on the Thundershow! Hopefully this will get even more people to listen to your wisdom, you are one the best in the world!

    My first experience with Jancis was a show she did for TV Food Network when it debut I believe in 1993… that was a great a show and I always wondered WHY she would spit out the wine! What a newbie I was… 😉

    AWESOME show… GV, how are you going to top this…?

    QOTD: It was a SMASHING success and we have been HONORED… It’s a bummer we could only hear her discuss 3 wines (actually 4 with the Pecorino… did she like that or what?)… SHE HAS TO RETURN!!!!!!!!!

    VV … u ROCK!

    Wonderful show, it was great to see a guest with so much knowledge and passion for wine, even American wine, from the European circle.

    QOTD: Jancis, I think it was a great idea for you to come on the Thunder show, your blog is going to explode with lots of new readers. (even though us Vayniacs are a little nuts)

  • Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet show Gary V!!!

    I knew the name, know I know the face. Way cool. And, I must say, your interview style here versus Randall Graham was SUPERB! Great give and take, Jancis was a joy, and the whole show was one of my most favorite.

    It was DEFINITELY a monster idea to have her on the show. Hopefully the people from her world enjoyed seeing you as much as we enjoyed seeing her.

    Cheers!

    qotd: It was a very very good idea, mad or not.

    Thanks for another terrific guest. I loved all the info about sherry and its shelf life. Also, who knew it encouraged the appetite at a big meal? Very useful.
