92/100

line of the day from guest – ‘the only thing I like is fishing for Tuna and drinking Spanish Wine’
line of the day from Gary – ‘the first time I met you I rated you an 87, but the 2nd time in Spain you were more like a 94’

Great episode, a little like Laurel and Hardy at their best

    Great guest, I have been wanting to learn more about Spanish wines and this was a great show to expand my knowledge. I will definitely be buying a Spanish wine the next time I go to the liquor store.

    QOTD: I had no clue.

    Argh. Everytime you interrupt him when he starts to answer a question, it makes me want to puke. 🙁

    Yup, I knew that, but I’m a big wine nerd. Great to see Jorge on the show, I’ve been a huge fan of his wines and have been selling them for a while now. And as far as Spain goes, you know that if you grab a bottle with his name on it, its going to a)great tasting and b)reasonably priced. Great show!

  • QOTD: I did not know that but I really hope I can try that second wine you tasted. That description sounds right up my alley.

    Great episode Gary. Mr. O was very informative. I like the way you kept yourself in check and let the guest impart his perspective…
    Didn’t know the fact about Spain prior to the episode….

    Great Jeprody (sp?)question.

  • Yes. More olive groves too. So glad to see Ordonez on the show. I loved the two selections but a couple more would have been good too. Mr. Ordonez, when are you going to hire me? Mott is the man, but thanks a lot for the belly dancing image Gary.

    Awesome episode – I’m addicted

    Gary and Senor Ordonez-
    Muchas, muchas Gracias!!!

    I’ve been a huge advocate for a number of years, and just had the privledge of pouring your wines for the Fabulous Food Show!! Paso a Paso, Vina Godeval, and Volver -all were recieved very well.

    My faves have been all of the Finca Luzon, Juan Gill, Nora, Basa. Love ’em!

    Yep. Wine geeks know – Spain has the largest acreage, but the restricted yields is a great part of why so many great wines are produced.

    Keep up the great work!!

    Hey Gary: I’ve been watching WLTV for about a year and this was the BEST EPISODE YET! We learned so much in a half hour. This guest was terrific and you let him talk long enough to get so much info to us. Your questions were well thought out and his answers went far beyond the initial question.

    What was gtreat was that he did not represent one vineyard but expounded about many areas of Spain and several producers. Keep up this kind of show!!

    QOTD, No.
