91/100

line of the day – ‘the Green Hornet, the Green Arrow, and the Incredible Hulk are all in my mouth’
line of the day 2 – ‘tastes like you just ripped the heart out of a panda’

Distinctive unusual wines with Gary on top form as usual. When re-tasting the first wine at the end of the show he says, ‘Yeah, I was right I nailed it.’ Love it

  • I don’t even drink wine and I love watching your videos because because you are so into what you do. That and you are knowledgeable. Keep it up.

    For once I did not enjoy this show. I found the commentaries to be excessively repetitive, almost as if Jim Rome was the guest host. I didn’t find the comments to be very articulate either. The intercom announcements were annoying and intrusive.

    In spite of all of that it was good to see two very nice wines featured, especially the Cava.

    I am hoping the Pats win by 7 points – but would not be at all surprised to see the Jets come through, since they have been the better team as of late. They certainly had a much easier time with the Rams than the Pats did the week before.

    I neglected to mention – unless I am mistaken, there was no commentary in the evaluation of the Cava whether it was produced by the methode champenoise, the charmat method, or in some other fashion. This in my view is a mandatory requirement.

    Every day, I go to work, come home and tell myself that the show tonight can’t be as good as last night and lo and behold, I’m wrong! Great show, showcasing some very interesting wines.

    QOTD: Close game . . . Jets 27 Pats 24 and yes, I’m always a participant in the secret packs. You will be the highlight of our Thanksgiving dinner.

    Happy Anniversary to Gary & Lizzie!

    Cheers! I will raise a glass of Dom tomorrow to you both and the Jets.

  • Sorry G, but to be completely honest, I think the Pats are gonna hand them another loss… I do predict though, that it’ll be a very close, and interesting game….

    Good luck NYJ!!
