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

    Might as well add a comment here to help us get to 600.

    Gary, you should do a tribute to Ehren Jordan sometime and taste Failla, Neyers, and Turley side by side — same guy, such different wines. (Good timing, too: SF Chronicle named him Winemaker of the Year.)

    Found a liquor store in my city (Chicago) with some crazy older wines — bought a ’97 Edmunds St. John syrah for 16 bones: singin’!

    Thank you so much, Gary and Chris, for all of the great episodes. I liked that Chris made such an appearance on this one. It seemed fitting to me. I didn’t get a secret pack and now I kind of wish I had.

    Great to see and hear from the Mottster! Would have sent a secret pack to Illinois for the big family xmas, but state law prohibits. Maybe Blago will fix this in his final days in office 🙂 Best of luck on your next 600, and keep ’em coming!

  • Gary’s probably watching this right now to see it hit 600… I am just hoping he doesn’t ask for 1000 next year.
