Gary,

I’m a new fan. And a huge one at that. Every show tops the previous one – you’re a great inspiration!

P.S. There’s a typo on Nicolas’ name in the video description… No biggie but he was, after all, the grandest of guests…

Cheers from Montreal

Fascinating in the sense that Joly seems to represent an entirely different set of criteria as to what makes a “great” wine – ie, what nature and fate put into a wine are what make it great (vs. whether you actually like the way it ends up tasting?)

I’d put him at one end of a spectrum, but who do you put at the other end? Michel Rolland? Sparky Marquis? What would the polar opposite be, exactly?

Personally, a white wine that tastes like copper pennies sounds like fun, at least in theory–but what on earth do you eat with something like that?

Incidentally, thanks again for a kick-ass event in South Sioux City, hopefully the first of many. Hope flying SUX is easier in the future, too!

As someone who loves to garden organically and also loves wine I can honestly say that this man would be on my top 10 people to drink a glass with before I die. Very very interesting.

Thanks so much for bringing Nicolas Joly on! What a guy. One of the most memorable wines I’ve ever had was his 2002 Le Petit Clos.
Can’t wait for part two.

Although I am American,and speak pretty darned good English, I simply can’t watch Masterpiece Theater on the TV. Sorry……..but have a hard time understanding the English speaking English.
Similar to today’s show. But,
not to be deterred, I shall return tomorrow, as the parts I could catch, were very interesting.
