GREAT idea 🙂

Congrats’ Gary, on reaching this very defining point of WLTV’s history.

I was VERY surprised and happy to see such an icon on WLTV. Her Oxford Companion to Wine is a great tool, which use weekly – if not daily.

Thank you Mr. V, for getting a wine-legend such as Jancis Robertson a bit closer to the global wine-community.

(P.S.
More champagne and port shows – please 🙂 )

Love Ms. Robinson! And loved, loved, loved(!) her reaction to Gary’s slider reference. Just thinking about sipping some Manzanilla while the turkey is roasting has my tastebuds tingling.

Awesome show Gary! One of the best episodes ever.
When is Parker coming?

QOTD: Fantastic idea to be on the show Jancis! Always great to hear from and learn directly from such a respected figure in the wine world.

Gary, I hope you keep bringing such fantastic figures from the wine industry on your show!

It was the right decision. Great show! Thank you,

Great idea and you should come back too.

QOTD: Very good to have you Jancis.
Gary it is good to get very high profile wine persons on your show. It is good to put a voice to the name and face of such high profile wine persons.

Thank you so much, Jancis, for appearing on Gary’s show! I thought it was great.

GARY: I’ll keep harping on these two points: 1. Please get another spit bucket for the guest when you have one. 2. Let’s have a Madeira show with a nice vintage Madeira at the end.

WOW! One of THE most awesome shows ever! It absolutely was a great idea to join Gary on Wine Library TV. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing knowledge with us all!

One of the most profound shows ever on WL!!

GREAT move by JR to come, it shows how broad the audience for wine learning is, wine is about conviviality and this was the best example of it!

QOTD: B E S T I D E A E V E R ! ! !

WOW!!…what a show, I don’t see how you can top that. Who’s next Oprah?

Appearing on the show was a fabulous idea Jancis. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Marvelous episode GV.

It’s always a great idea to listen to Jancis Robinson: Gary you are now major league!
But here’s an idea; if like me you guys out there sometimes think it would be great to have a short break or holiday, but at this time the credit squeeze deters you, try watching an episode of ‘Jancis Robinson’s Wine Course’. A marvellous two DVD series produced by the BBC. The combination of wonderful scenery (mostly French)and music, accompanied by Jancis’s honeyed voice is all that’s required. And, if you really want to pig out Gary, follow it with a snatch from ‘Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot’. That’s a holiday in itself.

Great show GV! I’m sad to say I had never heard of her before. But am so glad to meet her through your show!

Much better interview than Randall!

QOTD: It was an awesome idea!

QOTD: It was an awesome idea!

QOTD: One of the best shows. Definitely made the right decision!

QOTD: It was a great idea. I’m here to learn and I learned plenty.

Like Gary, Jancis isn’t shy when it comes to self-promotion. Great endorsement for Gary that an important old-timer seeks a bit of updating by appearing on his show. Loved it.
Spain came over as another big winner here.

Great show!

QOTD: Yes! Right decision, please do it again. Have Gary visit you and do a tasting from Europe the next time he is tasting over there.

Great show, perhaps the best WLTV I’ve seen! Both Jancis and Gary were fantastic. To answer Jancis’s question: great idea to be on the show. It worked wonderfully.

On a side note, a couple of quick clarifications about Sherry. First, the lot #s on the back of the bottle: usually when they’re of the form “L08044” that means day #44 of year 2008, so sometime in February (not April as was guessed). Also, Jancis hinted at this, but wasn’t explicit: it’s only for Fino and Manzanilla (the two dry, light types of Sherry) that freshness matters. The other types (Amontillado, Oloroso, etc…) are already deliberately oxidized and will last a long time in bottle. Sadly, it’s really hard to find properly fresh Fino or Manzanilla here in the US, because (a) it takes a while to get them shipped over here, and (b) most merchants end up keeping it on the shelves for a while because it doesn’t sell quickly and because many of them don’t know how critical freshness is.

I loved to see Jancis. It is refreshing to have a European connoisseur come over and not have a stuffy attitude.

wonderful to have more information about Sherry.

Great show.
