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

    This was my first time findin’ y’all as a podcast. Absolutely love the energy and the information – thank you *so* much for the effort you’ve obviously put into this.

    Have to admit, I’m a bit sad to not see 600 comments yet- c’mon people!

    PS: Gary – I realize that it is already relatively inexpensive, but can you think of a budget (<20 USD) wine that can approach the glory of the Chateau Puech Haut from this episode? Hard times means less wine and I’d love to be able to enjoy something similar on my tighter budget!

    Happy Holidays!

    Gary. I wish I lived in the US so I could get in on the secret pack experience. I don’t have enough carbon credits saved up to ship to Australia yet. Great show. Hope you had a great Christmas.

    Gary, first time I’ve watched & found it very informative. I always buy wine when I visit my folks & will need to branch out a bit. Pretty much buy the same types of wine most of the time! I missed out on the secret pack – will need to watch more to find out about the secret packs!

    A lurker no more Gary,

    Enjoyable, I?ve been lurking for several months now and it is time to give you your dues. I?ve got to say Gary, you?re somewhat of a George Bailey the way your changing people?s lives here. What a wonderful life you have. 🙂

    What a great show guys. Fortunately I was able to order the secret pack in time to follow along during the show. Being able to taste the wines during the show was incredible helpful. The ability to sample the wines at the same time really brings out the contrast between them. This helps me appreciate the differences and improve understanding my own palate. I largely agreed with you on the wines with the exception of Rhone Rebel GSM. This one did not do much for me.

    This was also the first time I saw Mott so it was great to put a face to the name. Cheers Mott!

    Graduations on 600!

    QOTD – A good friend and colleague of mine came over for Christmas dinner. He appreciates good wine but has never seen the show. It was time for some Wine Library TV Missionary work. After a delicious dinner my wife prepared, we lined up the wines and played the show. We followed along, sampling the wines determining our own take on them and if we had the same opinions as yours. No, we did not hug as you suggested but opted for another glass of wine instead. My wife even sampled two of the reds and really liked them. We had a great time and really enjoyed the show. We ended the wine adventure with a tasty desert wine (2005 Moscato d’ Andrea Muscat Canelli) that my friend brought over. It went very well the hot apple pie and ice cream.

    Feliz Navidad Gary, Mott and Vaniacks

    I’m thinking about all of the wine I’ve discovered by watching WLTV. And I’m thinking about the wines I’ll discover in 2009.
