line of the day – ‘Mott, your linking up and zooming in have been legendary’

Mott makes a rare appearance in front of the camera and although we love him, and we all do, he’s a bit of a distraction to me when tasting along with Gary. I just get the feeling that everything he says is what he thinks Gary wants to hear, and if Gary said a wine tasted of Baboon cr@P, he’d probably agree. Nice guy….but

    What up Gary!… Congrats on the big 6 hundo!! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2009. I shared the Secret Pack with a couple of close friends earlier this evening and it was a great time. One of them doesn’t drink wine that much and the other one does but they both equally enjoyed the experience! All three of us were loving the Languedoc with passion and the others in the pack were great picks as well… Keep up the good work!

    Gary, congrats on episode 600. Long time watcher, first time commenter, thought it was an appropriate time to drop you a line. Didn’t have the foresight to purchase the secret pack, but wish I had, sounds like that Languedoc was a keeper. Mott, nice cameo.
    Happy holidays and again, congrats on this milestone, looking forward to another 600.

    Hey Gary,

    Time to say… Hats off to you.

    We’ve been doing blind wine tastings at Christmas; before dinner; For four years now. Inspired by you!! We all share one common observation! It certainly is not easy to make clear conclusions about judging wine in blind tastings.

    This years ground rule was $15-$20 price range red wine.
    Our ratings … California Zin #1, Rosso Di Montalcino #2, Valpollacella Ripasso #3 and French Bordeau #4.
    Also some comments; some of these wines were tough to drink alone.
    Then as we drank them with a roasted prime rib; they all tasted so much better. More fruit and deeper flavors seemed to show through.

    It was challenging but a lot of fun. Already planning another tasting; for Easter.

    So Thanks Gary for making wine tasting & appreciation so interesting. You certainly opened our minds to trying many different wines.

    Congratulations on 600 Gary and Mott!!!!

    I’ve been hooked on your show every since a couple months ago (around episode 550). You have sparked my interest in wine and am enjoying life more because of the experiences I have had drinking good wine with my loved ones.

    Keep it up! Bring the thunder into 2009!

  • I was hurting this year for money, so I ended up passing on the secret pack because I’m new to wine and I was afraid it was going to be to crazy for me.

    Now I’m kicking myself for not getting. I did pick up the Plain Point and Wine Library for a friend about a month ago though.

    I gotta get my hands on the GSM. Maybe a trip to your store a little later today.

Also, thanks to ALL of the great WL folks. I think everyone would agree that the WL Order Department and the entire staff is a 1st class, top-shelf operation. You guys are the BEST.
