line of the day – ‘a flabby lame duck that went 70 yards’

I’ve loved every blind tasting that Gary has done. How many other major wine critics in the world would be happy to do ‘one-take’ blind tastings? My guess is less than 1. Phenomenal

    Great show Gary, YES! Blind tastings are awesome. Allow Ian to mix up the next cabernet show with two cabs from Napa and two from the left bank. Two US merlots and two right bank. Then two right bank vs. two left bank.

  • brook

    Blind is good. Nice job

  • Yes…hands down you should taste all your wines blind in 2009…it would add a fun factor to the shows for us as the viewers…

  • The blind tasting was awesome! My vote is YES for going blind during all of ’09 (woah, that rhymes, haha)!

    Have a fun time in AZ! See you soon! 🙂

  • Jolie Elman

    Yes, I would say go blind, but only go for maybe two or three days of each week.

    Also, it would have been very interesting to have included the wines featured on the last two Napa Cab shows in this blind tasting.

    Gary,

    Excellent show! YES, you should go blind all 2009. I enjoy so much your Napa cab shows, I hope you can do Neal, Goldshmidt cabs in the near future.

    Enjoy the show. All blind. No price range. No area (like Napa). No grape type hint. That would be fun.

  • Blind it up!
