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

Tell me your thoughts, opinions, on how I can increase readership. And if you don’t well then I know your not really worth the HYPE. Also, my broncos, defeated your Jets. Go Cutler, in all is glorious mediocrity. Peace and much love

    Thanks for bringing Maynard on WLTV. I have some friends that are big Tool fans and I’ve already emailed them the link to the show. BTW, if you haven’t seen Tool in concert, it’s pretty crazy/awesome.

    Awesome show can’t wait to see part two!
    I’m a huge Tool, Puscifer & Perfect Circle Fan… I’d love to try some of Maynard’s wine!

    Gary any knowledge of being able to get some of these wines up in Canada?

  • Totally rocking show Gary Veeeeeeeeeee!!!

    I don’t know much about TOOL except that they are a really hard, heavy band, but it is cool to see another intelligent, well spoken rocker doing great and unexpected things in the wine biz! Great guests, and it sounds like the wines are nice, too. Keep it up!

    What rockin’ AZ episodes with MJK and Eric. Being a Phoenician its good to see us getting some good wine press. You were right these guys are working the state hard. It just so happens that they are signing bottles at Whole Foods in Chandler tomorrow.

    It’s funny that you had these shows since I just sent three bottles of AZ wine to you to feature on a show. None of them were from these guys although I think Eric does some work with Sam Pillsbury who makes one of the wines I sent you.

    Really enjoyed the shop and I will check Maynard out tomorrow at Whole Foods.

  • Thanks, Gary, for another great show. This has been very interesting and educational so far. I’m kind of glad I’m a day late so I don’t have to wait for part 2 now.

    Hey Gary. This was a most excellent show!! What a coincidence that I should come back from AZ only to find out that you were there at the same time.

    I’ve been out to Page Springs a couple of times and I would have to say that they make some very good wines. I have always been a fan of Maynard’s music and when I found out that he too was interested in and made his own wine, I had to check it out. It was great that Caduceus and his mentor’s project Page Springs didn’t disappoint. I’m excited to experience Caduceus’s first all AZ wine. I admire both of their enthusiasm in bringing AZ wines to the world table.

    Keep up the awesome work Gary!

    Awesome – I stumbled upon Page Springs winery while camping in the Verde Valley with my son, it’s a totally hidden gem! Great wine, locally produced, and a rock star to throw in…you’d never think this was grown in the wastelands of AZ, I’ve totally had to rethink my opinion of Arizona wines…no more cactus juice!

    QOTD: GREAT episode, and I know these guys! I’ve served Maynard twice at my restaurant in LA, the second time was with Eric after they did an event at Whole Foods down the street to release their wines. I had them try a few things from my list that they had NEVER had before, including an Australian Verdelho and a dry Douro red. I blind tasted them on the Douro red and they were STUNNED! I only wish that I knew you had pre-taped an episode with them ’cause I would have mentioned how long I’ve been a Vayniac! Cheers.

    Thanks for making wine fun!

    I grew up worshiping maynard. He is a responsible for a large part of my creativity and curiosity. It was extremely neat to seem him in a situation that is, essentially, exactly opposite to his usual public persona.

    thanks Gary!

    Normally, I could care less about wine or wine tasting. What I do care about is Maynard. I will buy his wine, not drink them and pass them on to my kids. The story about his grandfather doing the same thing is remarkable
