Great job Randy! I love Match wines and am glad to see them appreciated.

Ha! I wondered why every other time I go to add a new wine on Cork’d, there’s a damn server error or the screen just plain freezes up! This has been driving me nuts!!!

QOTD: GV gave the Montenovo Godello 2007 serious marks, but he may only have the slightly more expensive and unrated (on WLTV) 2006 version in stock!

Oh, and I disagree with Gene (below). I know you’ve been working on allowing guests to have more camera time, and do less to get in their way, but this was the first show in a long while where I noticed you stepped all over the guest (I didn’t think the Crudo episode was bad). I’m sure Randy wasn’t bothered by it, but it seemed as though you finished every meaningful sentence he had to say for him. I’ve never busted your chops for this, but when you watch it I think you’ll see what I mean… Keep improving, and you’ll have your own network gig before you know it!

Gary, Good Show, No go for me on $75 Napa Cabs. This is a bad play. The dirt is to expensive and wines, cult producers and all ho hum. Think of what you can buy in Bordeaux right or left bank and even some of those under the radar Barolo’s you have be discussing. Cali wines are a joke. May be for the uninformed wine buyer with no sense of QPR. Tasted just one Bordeaux and your never looking at Cali again!

Thanks, guys, for a good episode. 4% doesn’t sound like much, but I wonder how many cases/gallons that adds up to and how much comes from the central valley? I think I’ll look into that. I hope to try your wines at some point, Gary, but I’m not going to buy any soon, unfortunately.

now what the hell did I do with that Match Vineyards Special Referral Order Form?

Didn’t watch yet – bartending right now.

Qotd – Can’t see the link to the archives, but maybe a Jorge Ordonez white?

Good lord, I don’t remember the names of those Spanish wines… Fun show though, I’d never heard of your wine either, so I’m pleased to know now!

Nice seeing a vayniac on the show for a change.

QOTD: Haven’t really tried that many of GV’s recommendations, but I presonally enjoy the Grenache Blanc from Spain, Odyseuss is one of the labels I enjoy.

Nice show Gary,

Randy sounds like a pretty good bloke!!! Not sure about $75 cabs….just a little steep. Loved the passion Gary…nice job

Excellent guest..these wines sound great!!

I don’t know if it has been in the last year but I like the 2007 Burgans Albarino. Greay with sea food.

Great show. Thanks for doing it.
Qotd – Valdesil Godello 2006

what the Hey, I got a 404 error on that first link Mott.

ewww now you got me thinking about what the inside of that bucket looks like.

hey you did it again! you said dry = tannic! stop doing that. we all know that tannins dry your mouth out, we get it, but dry means low sugar, and if we cant change the meaning of wine terms, than neither can you.

woohoo Gary read my comment! Thanks! I got the feeling that you were really censoring your opinions on his wines just cuz he was there, kind of lost the authenticity of the wine scores. How about you tell us what you REALLY think on the next episode when you read out the comments?

hey the page changed!

how will i know if gary is streaming live on ustream anymore?

i dont like it

QOTD: I don’t know if it’s the best, but for QPR the Finca Albarino was enjoyable.

Thanks for another great guest. More low key, but it was interesting.

Hey Gary, good show. This really seems like an interesting vineyard that makes great wine, but I have a question about it. Not having a lot of experience with Napa, do you think its worth paying $75 a bottle to try a Match Cab or am I better off going with Turnbull or Soujourn from Sonoma which you rate higher for half the price? I’m not trying to bash Randy because he seems like a nice guy, but is his wine experience worth the price tag?

Great to see a forum member get some love. Great jobs guys!! Oh, and I am a forumite who watches and posts almost every day. If you put forth the effort, so will I.

QOTD: From an interesting standpoint: 2006 Jose Pelacios Petalos, Bierzo; Easy to find and good qpr: any vintage Juan Gil, Jumilla; Delicous and reaching cult status: El Nido Clio

Great show! Randy seems like such a real and great guy.

Great episode and great guest. You continue to get better and better with your interviewing skills.

QOTD – The Albarino he had in the secret pack a few months ago.

Gary, I gotta shoot you straight and I don’t think you would have it any other way. I think you need to loose the guest. Randy was a great guy, no doubt about it but.. the passion and the thunder is just not there. Your personality and your personality alone is what makes the show. I also don’t think where getting the straight scoop that we would if it was just you and Mot. By the way Mot, good call on moving the bottles.

Gary, at first I thought Randy was going to bore me, but I was pleasantly surprised! And although I cannot ever see myself spending that kind of money on wine (even if I had it), it was very interesting to learn about his wines and insight. Oh, and you were fun to watch too…

I can’t keep track of all the recommendations, but there have been a few Albarinos that I loved!

ps I am now convinced you will be the father of a girl
