92/100

line of the day – ‘It’s like a bad hairpiece and the guy picks his nose on a first date – you don’t want that guy’

This episode is a lot of fun and features a guest appearance from the Winelibrary wine manager Ian. It’s fascinating to see him and Gary feeding off each other’s informed comments and especially good when they are both dissing two of the wines. Better than the previous circus show!

    Let’s call a spade a spade…Another great show!! It is nice to see some of the Wine-Librarians; I thought Ian did an excellent job filling in. Even with the Wine Uni-brow. That was absolutely hilarious.
    QOTD: It has to be my wonderful wife. Yesterday was our 12 year anniversary and she has been behind me since day one.
    Gary, keep up the good work!

    Good show. I like it when you have someone on who knows how to rate a wine. It revs you up and makes things most entertaining.

    Really good show. This should have been #600. The show is always better with a guest. The interaction is always great. Glad to see you understand that the reality of the ratings from Spectator and Parker do influence the way you order and the way your customers buy. The no BS attitude you have is refreshing.
