90/100

line of the day – ‘I am actually in the room with Cardinal and Lions fans, people that are actually sadder than Jets fans. This is a tremendous feeling’

Good episode about an interesting area, however the guests are totally eclipsed by Gary

  • Hmmm,

    Does it get any better?? Just celebrating the birth of my new baby son, and to top it off, the show I have been hoping would happen for about a year or so, is now a reality!

    BTW,

    Gedddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are two wine junkies that can and do still rock out from time to time 🙂

    GARY!!! I love you man but you talked way too much over Maynard and Eric. You ask a question and then dont let them finish it. This is a great episode, but please let your guest respond to your questions. We know you were probably way too excited, but hearing what these guys say is half the fun. Kudos for doing a show on wine from Arizona. I will definitely try some next time I see it.

    Gary, COOL SHOW! I’m an Arizona Bay native and feeling mighty proud right now. I was at an Arizona wine tasting this weekend (it’s an annual thing in downtown Tempe) and it was the best year yet…didn’t get a clunker in the bunch.

    This is a great episode. Gary forgot to dump his rinse and tried to put the wine away without pouring for the guests! I had to laugh. It vacation though right so no problem.

    This is a wine show I can do without the rock star chatter as to who is or isn’t first rate or second rate, it’s all opinions just like wine.

    I am drinking a 05 Zardini Valpolicella Superior tonight and it is very interesting and I like it quite a bit.

    Looking forward to tomorrow’s finish.

    Very good show – nice to see something from off the beaten path. The rock band connection was irrelevant to me. The first thing I noticed on the screen was the artwork, but there was not a word said about it – hope that is rectified in Part 2. Nice wines.

    Gary if you ever get to Colorado, I hope you try out the wines there as well.

    Very entertaining and interesting show…they just keep getting better and better. Although I’ve never heard of “Tool” or Maynard I’ll take your word that he’s a rock star.

    Fascinating that wine is coming from an area you wouldn’t think possible. Its all adventure 🙂
