so far, so good. so curious about the last bottle with the fraying label. ragged label means old bottle = wooohoo

No spit bucket in sight, and on cooool guest that will NOT hold back from spittin’ some knowledge.

GARY!!!
Ive been to Washington Park AND CRU…Nick& Tony’s in East Hampton, Gramercy Tavern & Babo…I didnt meet my future husband BUT, I did enjoy the time… 🙂
I’ll be in NYC tonite…should I go to Terroir?

I LOVE that you asked about “wine by the glass”…
Overall, I believe restaurants, and I dine out a lot, can be criminal in their costs of wine…and I KNOW I have spent a riDONCulous amt. of moolah to enjoy wine when out w/friends…

GREAT episode, awesome guest..cant wait to see Part II.
xoxox

That was a great first part. I’m looking forward to the rest. I’m with you on St Aubin. I also think there are some great values coming out of Rully, even though some of those wines are pretty oaky. Thanks, guys.

now that I had the time … that wine list is insane!

Hey Gary!

I saw the wine list and it looks ridiculously great! I can see it s a serious restaurant !
looking forward to part II

AMEN to the fact that there are values everywhere in Italy, even the “big names” of Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello, etc. In Barolo, $60 – $80 will get you a big variety of 95+ pt. wines, it’s incredible. The only downside is I hate waiting for them to mature. Boring.

Can’t wait for part 2.

You guys are like two little kids talking about a brand new toy! I can really feel the genuine passion that your guest possesses. Great episode and can’t wait for the Saturday part 2…

excellent

great interview

you seriously need to do a barolo show with him. serious.

Thanks for linking up Terroir as well. I just looked at their wine list — a half-hour of good reading there. Would love to visit both places next time I’m in NYC.

Great Show!!!! Can’t wait for second part

sup dude, great show… i like what this guy has to say more than the last guest. he seems real and into what the everyday buyer has to think. i like that. looking forward to part II.

You guys are killing it. Cant wait for part two!

A great show…it’s nice to see some spotlights on a high end restaurant with some history on the person you are sitting beside. You do a good job of keeping it all in check and still letting him talk too.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!!!! Looked like some BIG TIME BALLIN’ in da Cru!!!!
How come Ya didn’t invite Moi??? 🙂 Lookin’ forward to Part Deux!!

great stuff. gonna book a reservation immediately. see you on saturdays episode!

GV: Very well done, really found the guy interesting and entertaining. Hooray for a Saturday epi for all of us in reatil who work the weekend.

YOU BOTH KILLED IT in episode 637! Way to come hardcore this episode. Dissecting the wine word with the passion and the knowledge. THIS is what the Thunder Show is all about. Psyched for ep.2!!!

Great show! Nice to get outta the office and into the real world. You’re getting much better at the interview thing, too. Looking forward to part 2!

CRU’s winelist is indeed sick. I realize these are the best wines in the world and that this is NYC, but c’mon–who in God’s name is going to order a $12,000 bottle of wine with their pasta? If I had Bill Gates’ checkbook in my pocket, I would be embarrassed to do so, knowing full well that money could feed hundreds of starving people for a year. Even in the best of economic times, it could only be called pretentious.

Great show GV! Robert’s passion for wine nearly matches yours! Disagree with the previous comment from Dutch….if you got the cash, enjoy the stash!! Cant wait for part 2!!

Great cliffhanger! Can’t wait for part two and I am making reservation at CRU. I love that I just moved to NYC and now I know the places to go with the people who really care about hospitality and wine.

Fantastic, a little over my head at times, but it just inspires me to learn more. Time to whip out the Sotheby’s wine encyclopedia.

GREAT guest this time Gary. He really knows his stuff!

Thank you, Roy Welland and Robert Bohr, for sharing with us your winelist and inadvertently exposing to Main Street exactly what is wrong with Wall Street:
while thousands of Americans are losing their jobs, those responsible are eating spaghetti and sipping four- and five-figure bottles of wine(can your wobbly tables even hold a Jeroboam?).

I’m sure you two are nice guys and all, but perhaps you should get out of NYC a little more. Do the world a favor–screw the hedge fund managers, auction off your most pretentious offerings, and donate the proceeds to charity. Just think of the tax write-off!

Nice start to a 2 parter… Serious wines with some serious stemware…. I wonder if they use those glasses for everyone that comes through the door?
