94/100

two lines of the day – ‘this is like your best friend in the world coming in dressed as the opposite sex!’ and the one that made me laugh out loud: ‘this smells like a garbage truck on fire’

Phenomenal episode. First double blind ever, featuring less well known wine-growing states. All wines panned hard but that’s when the best one liners come out…and this show was full of them. Awesome

    The hubby and I are from OHIO! And congratulations again on the baby news! We’re a little concerned with you teaching the baby to expand it’s palate too early. Keep stuff out of the babies mouth until it can handle solids!

    QOTD: not a state but a province… British Columbia! I dare say BC would fare much better on your show. I would love to see BC featured sometime.

  • Vinacull

    First ever double-blind tasting and I LOVED it Gary! Some reDONCULUS correct guesses on origin, varietal, and price point – Congrats! Overall this is right about what I expected from “Other 46” – some good (on the tasting scale), some bad, and some downright ugly. QOTD: Right down the street from you, but I also have to throw in a shout-out for my state of origin and the winner of this tasting: Michigan (“M GO BLUE!”).

    Great show. I’m from New Mexico, and amazingly there are a few good wineries in the state. I’d love to see a show about new mexico grapes.

  • Wow. This episode had some classic descriptions! “Garbage truck on fire” was my personal favorite. Couldn’t stop laughing for 5 minutes. Although the wines weren’t good, this was so much fun to watch you rock out the double blind “other 46” tasting! You were on the money GV. Wine #6 looked like the same color of Bordeaux claret. Craziness.

    And Sasha was hilarious when he looked into your office. 🙂

    QOTD: Originally a Masshole, I’ve lived in MO, RI, ME, WI, and France. So there you have it.

    This was a strange episode. I think I would rather see you review wines from a state where they have been pre-screened, meaning that there are somewhat strong reviews out there for them. This show made me less apt to go out and try a wine from a random state.

    QOTD: Texas now, but Louisiana born and raised, and very proud! Hey maybe they don’t do wine right yet, but they are on point with the food. We pronounce it Pon-cha-train, despite all of those extra letters.

    QOTD: Illinois – but I have to agree with you I think we are lucky in the Midwest to have MI wines. I have been to St. J many times and the restaurant has a wonderful view + good service! Even got my son hooked on their sparkling wine (no alcohol of course)!

    Congrats again…having a child is truly a miracle that we are blessed with – my boy is 15 and I am still in awe of him each day!!!
