Now on to the show.

lucky 7 woo who

NICE HOODIE GARY! Just come from the gym? Love’d the show!

Hey Gary keep it up! numero 8!

Top 10 again (just)!

Cork’d … WTG Randy!!!

Looks great – love the extra long shows – will watch tonight!

Hi Gary,

I think you should lose the guests. Not only does it break up the flow of the show, in my opinion, but since you don’t edit, the audience, and probably the guest, can see the faces and body language that you sometimes give that say things like, “I’m not all that interested” or “what the hell is this guy talking about?”

My guess is that if Randy weren’t on the show, you would have rated his ’06 something much lower than 90 pts. and would have hammered him on the price points, but maybe not. I do dig that Randy is out there with the peeps in the forums etc. getting to know his customer. I like that a lot.

Thanks.

Kevin.

I thought Randy seemed very sincere so I have no complaints with him as a person. As a “Vayniac”, and I use the term lightly for him, it was so Busch that he didn’t know about the QOTD.

But because I have an answer… QOTD: 2005 Atecca Armas.

QOTD Gary never reviewed it but Burgans Albranio. Super cheap and amazingly good.

Awesome! Can’t wait to see the show!

(it’s been a while since a real vayniac was on. None of this “huh? question of the day” BS)

Great show!You seem to have new energy which is awesome at #640.Thanks for keeping it fresh, entertaining and informative. Web site had house cleaning.

QOTD;Mencia

Great show guys, I am a BIG fan of Napa Cabs so I think I should add Match to my seek list.

QOTD: 2003 Taja Jumilla Reserva

Gary,

You did a great job with Randy, you allowed him to express his thoughts fully but kept the program moving. Match reminds me a lot of the single vineyard producer, Pina, which is near St Helena. Same price points loaded with extraordinary fruit. I will get a hold of some Match to try.

Genothevino

Gary – It was great to see you pull out some big scores for some Napa Valley Cabs and that Match has mostly decided to leave the oak monster at home.

And then on further thought – great, another Cali Cab that I can’t find in any store and can only obtain through a special mailing list. Imagine if Angelo Gaja, Chateau Ausone, or half of the 92+ rated producers in Barolo decided to only sell to subscribers on an email list.

Oh, Randy, tough question to answer! I’ve only tasted one he recommended and it was only ok. . . .

Oh goody I thought we were going to miss a day when it got to be past 5 on the east coast.

Sorry to post before watching I will continue after.

Would like to say that the last episodes have been well worth seeing.

Thank you Gary V.

Good show. You nailed the oak play on the third wine.

Hey Gary! I frequently visit corkd.com and love checking for the wines I buy to check my thoughts against other “regular joes”. The only thing… the search engine sucks. I can never find anything and there are always multiple entries for the same wine (Ones without any vintage or with a partial name) and then I can’t find what I’m looking for. Fix that and I think many more good things might happen with that sight. All said, I still check it out and appreicate it’s existence. Screw the naysayers.

Great guest. Randy seems very personable. The names of the wines are awesome, imaginative and near and dear to the heart. If only people would only go that way instead of naming things like “The Bar” or “This is my Station”

QOTD: Try the 2007 J&f Lurton Rueda White ;P

(hopefully you’ll watch ep #639 b4 you buy it)
