QOTD: Many many things, but just now, spear fishing Point Loma by day, and singing live band karaoke at the 710 by night.

Bad quality tape… a the whites were a little disappointing… let’s hop the RED episode is better…

QOTD: SeaWorld, what else…?

I was there at the show (one of the quiet ones 😉 – it was definitely loud in the room, but for the most part, it was good chatter about the wines – what we were smelling, tasting… Apart from the poor sound quality in the video, I think it’s a huge compliment to both Gary and the wine world that so many people, mostly young like myself, were excitedly discussing the wines, his tasting comments, and the show. ‘Course, there were a few people being just plain rude, but most people were paying close attention, if loudly.
I thought Gary was wearing some mic, or had one nearby, for the show. Maybe this is the solution… at live venues, use a mic for sound quality, and let the people chit-chatter away about the wines and the show. Best of both worlds, and then the glass would be more than half full for all involved.

Ehhhhhhhhhh, got kind of aggravating with all the background noise. I’m shocked that many people were chatting and having conversations while you were recording the Thunder Show!!!

QOTD: San Diego, it’s a toss up – (1) Anchorman Scene or (2) Chargers.

I like seeing Matt in the hot seat because he picked out the wines. And apparently you’re still balling like P Diddy the way your poured out that Fiano.

QOTD: Jets 0-4 west coast 2004 and of course the movie anchorman. San Diego is german for a whales Va#@na.

San Diego Zoo.

QOTD: RUDE people who won’t shut the (excuse my french) up! My god, tough crowd Gary… nothing else to say they dont deserve much.

QOTD – great weather every day

lots of talkative folks and lack of focus – still fun!

wow that crowd would not shut up thats just rude. if your going to a taping show some respect.
QOTD: San Diago is spanish for a whales vagina. a no it means St. Diago

Did you tape that at Coachella 2009?

QOTD: La Jolla, beaches, county line w/Orange (San Onofre Park)

Hey long time viewer (episode 200 or so) but first time to comment! Love the show and love all of the different wines Gary gets us to expand our palletes with, without him i would still be buying all the same wines and not enjoy the experience nearly as much as i do now

QOTD: Sea world and a trip there as a kid

Maybe they’re accustomed to being drowned out by the airport traffic noise.

QOTD: Aircraft approaches that sear the paint on the roof of the cars below – to touch down at the airport with no Duty Free shop. Harbour full of cruise ships (with Duty Free shops, thank goodness). Lots of public washrooms for tourists returning from Mexico. Oh, did you say the first thing? Balmy weather.

Gary, I could have come out from Phoenix and taped this with a mic, a real camera and real lights. For you, I would have done it for free.

Please consider enlisting the help of your fanbase the next time you find yourself in a dark, noisy room trying to do a show. There are tons of people out here with the know-how who are willing to help you — don’t be afraid to ask!

Great tasting event episode, too bad the crowd wasn’t being so attentive!

QOTD: San Diego… blue skies, sand & surf, seagulls… buncha “S”s

Enjoyed the show apart from the noisy audience. Great job handling them but REALLY, how hard is it to listen for 20 mins. Hate that. If they wanted to drink, as opposed to taste and learn from the great man, they should have stayed in the bar. Still, you kept the show going well. I probably would have started throwing the spit bucket at someone 😉

That screwcap Bourgogne, thats a wine moment there. Amazing and good to see.

QOTD : Visiting the zoo with my beautuful wife when we visited on holidays a few years ago. Reminds me of one of our great holidays touring San Francisco aswell. Happy days.

Great show! I was there with my wife and some friends in the front row, loved every minute except for the disrespectful ‘chatty-chat’ (not to be confused with ‘sniffy-sniff’). It wasn’t us! What a treat to see Gary live.
Go Chargers!

Holy LAugh track Batman (I mean I think you’re freakin’ hillarious but these people laughed every third syllable) … I’m not sure i enjoyed this format all the shhhhh! made me pretty nervous… like when i was in grade school and no one could shut up after recess.
By the way no one laughed at the Oak Monster! WEIRD!
QOTD: Shawne Merriman (and Steroids) Take one of them with ya’ Chargers Fan!

QOTD: people who yell … alot

I love wine! If you ever want to laugh out loud, check out my videos on youtube,com/Beauticiangg

QOTD: I think about my holidays there back in 2001 and feel sorry for my brother because he broke is arm directly after we got back from San Diego.

QOTD: constant sunshine all warm-n-fuzzy . . . shhhhhh . . . and now, constant chatter.

Live shows are, well, live. They are always much better when attended than watched. Having never been to one of your appearances, it was still interesting to get a small feel of the ambiance. Like a lot of wine enthusiasts, the only sure-fire way to get them to be quiet is to make sure they are drinking at the moment. Peace.

This was truly Wine Library…shhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Wireless Microphone !!! Eleviates this problem.

MATT !!! Hook it up.

QOTD – Chargerz
