  • Loving the details and gobs of information download. You should decant more often. Best quote (with all due respect): “Wine is wine, you can’t cheat with wine for Christ’s sake!”. And I’m loving his philosophy, great, great, great, stuff. Gold Gary, it’s Gold!

    GARY!!
    So interesting…Ovid Vineyard actually sent a mailer announcing their “experiment” wine. Photo was included in mailer of glass test tubes as if wine is being created in their Lab. (Which in this case…it is..and they are proud of their man-made creation. Just some info…)

    Monsieur Joly e tres interesante!

    Excellent episode!

    Super duper!

    This is by far one of best episodes. I believe in Mr. Joly’s philosophy: “Nature is the best wine maker”. I do not believe this is a trend. Trying to obtain dominion over nature has only brought humanity to the brink of its own annihilation. We are nature, not above or beyond it. Only when we understand this will we succeed as a species, and of course, as wine makers.

    Wonderful!

    Why do I feel like a jr high kid who just sat in on an AP calculus class?

    Good show and I’m looking forward to part duex.

    Also, at one point Nicolas says something in French and Gary laughs, but it never gets translated. Anyone?

  • This guy was amazing! Kudos Gary for getting on the show a man who obviously cares about his wines and our earth. The more I meet Europeans the more I think we Americans really are unsophisticated overweight barbarians who wear swhite neakers. They have been growing grapes at his vineyard since 1130? That span of time is astonishing!

  • Ce fut un grand plaisir d’apprendre les notions de base en matiere de biodynamie. C’est la premiere fois que j’entends parler de ce concept, et votre discussion m’a motive a en savoir plus. Pour cela, je vous remercie beaucoup.

    Finally an episode on WLTV that really had me gripped. Fantastic interview. You can tell by the degree of silence on Gary’s behalf that this was a guest with far greater resonance than usual.

    Perhaps the finest show ever. Nicolas so elegantly described his love of wine as an art, a passionate embrace of nature. Its not surprising that both you and he tapped into similar principles of how wine should be raised, made and enjoyed. Glad to enjoy the moment with you.
