    You know you’re getting old when you don’t recognize a rock star’s name or what band he is/was in.

  • OMG you got Maynard from Tool on the Thunder Show. Wow! I own a DVD of their freaky videos. Good for him for getting into winemaking so seriously. The Malvasia does look interesting.

  • I didn’t even know who Maynard James Keenan was until I searched him on Google. I thought he was just a wine maker who was famous for making popular wines. It’s cool that you got a big rock star on Wine Library TV Gary.

    Interesting first half, pretty big name, but I don’t think this is the greatest show ever. Hopefully I will be proved wrong tomorrow.

    QOTD: A Perfect Circle is better anyway.

    Hi Gary, It was such a thrill meeting you at Books Inc on Saturday. Did you get a chance to try the Riesling from Mt Tam Vineyards at the opposite table, how about a shout out for my birthday (12/4) when you get back to Wine Library? If you’re thinking of getting a place in SF, consider the Richmond District where pickles are taken seriously and they’re familiar scents of a Russian neighborhood.

    Great show today which makes me look at Arizona differently. Always love a story about wine’s connection with mining history.

    Good episode. I don’t remember very good wines when I lived in Arizona. Glad to hear they are making progress. Looking forward to part 2 and QOTD.

    Finally! I asked for it a year ago! I am trying to find the episode now, but it was on Ask Gary. I think Gary was a little flustered because on the syrah/PS wine, GV poured his own rinse and not one for Maynard and Eric. Then Gary drank the rinse! Rofl! Its nice to see you get excited, G! Great show and can’t wait until part 2.

    Wow! Maynard makes wine?!!! That puts a whole new spin on his song “Sober”!
    Definitely in my top 20 favorite songs of all time.

    Great show Gary, can’t wait for tomorrow!

  • Very surprised by the quality of the wines, esp from Arizona? The labels are very elementary though.

    Looking forward to tomorrow’s episode.

    Great Show!!!

    This is the show I’ve been waiting for since I first started watching about 550 episodes ago. Tool is my favorite band and I’ve been following Caduceus Cellars for the last two or three years.

    Lookin’ forward to Part 2.

    Fascinating show though never heard of Maynard James Keenan.

    Beard’s about where it should be.

    I was actually giddy watching this episode, and I can’t WAIT for the rest tomorrow. Tool has been my favorite band forever, so I guess sharing a show with Maynard makes Gary pretty awesome by proxy (j/k). Maynard’s such a perfectionist in everything else he does, I really want to try these wines. It might just be enough of an excuse for a trip to AZ. (I love Arizona, so it doesn’t take much for me to want to go.)

    One slight criticism for Gary, and I mean this with all the love in my heart: STOP TALKING! You’ve got two amazing guests there, and you’re talking over them.
