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.

    Brilliant show!! It was a great idea. I will probably now follow Jancis’s blog. Her stories were great and Gary, you really tamed yourself from the last guest appearance. Kudos. Loved the questions from Gary posed toward Jancis.

    QOTH: Good?!…I would say absolutely *inspiring*. Really a fantastic show. Through 550+ shows I have never seen Gary so awestruck and excited.

    Congratulations Gary, WLTV has really come to an amazing place to have guests such as Jancis (and recently Randall Grahm and Charles Smith) appear almost regularly. Also, you’ve got a great balance between shows with guests and solo. Thanks for all the work.

    Thanks for reminding me to dust off some Ridge for T-Day. It’s almost as much a ritual as the bird.

    QOTD: Like anything to do with wine, it’s always a good idea to try and do something different.

    Thank you both for sharing the knowledge.

    This episode was hands down the best in the history of Wine Library TV. Jancis is the supreme goddess of wine and we should all grovel at her feet.

    QOTD: Yes Jancis, it was a stupendously good idea to grace WLTV with your presence. Please promise that you’ll make another appearance.

  • Pebbles

    QOTD: Excellent idea. Jancis Robinson really adds credibiity to the show.
    I love it that she loves Ridge Montebello. Very fresh, immediate, and vibrant approach to wine. I’m sure Jancis will get some new viewers for her show.
