GV behind the camera rather than in front of it. A no no as far as I’m concerned. Pretty interesting interview though.

    Loved this episode. Peter is a great guest. I can’t wait for part II. Responding to John from Boston. I wish he could expand his palate of knowledge. The history of Napa is what made it what it is today. Thats why he can buy the great wines available from california. I think Garys audience is diverse, and some of us ARE interested in some high end wines,, along with the value plays. Expand your palate, include a little of everything, then decide which suites you best. Gary V. is the best.

  • Love the guest shows, and love the historical guest shows like these the best. The Janice, Jolay, Mondavi shows are gems to be saved in a DVD collection. Consider a guest show DVD box set of episodes? I’d buy that.

    I also enjoy the shows where familiar internet hosts guest on the show, they’re fun: Kevin Rose is a great guy.

    I really enjoyed the video format, you really let Peter have the floor which I’m not used to seeing from you, you overbearing bastard. Just kidding, love always.

  • PS, I tried the Citarella soups you showcased on an old show when you were sick, and I have to say the 5 mushroom soup, the split pea, and the Ginger Bisque was legendary.

    Excellent episode Gary. You still need to let Peter answer before you ask the next question but overall, it was a thousand times better than usual.
    Peter clearly has a world of knowledge and experience and I really enjoyed the format. Looking forward to part II

    Hey Gary,
    First time I have commented in a while. I loved the interview style and the great overview of Napa history. I look forward to part 2. I thought it was awesome to hear about the featured guest’s personal story and then move on to the wine tasting. Maybe more of the interviews could be 2 parts.

    Thank

    I love the interview style. When you get wine legends on it is great to get an opportunity to find out what they have to say about the wine biz.

    If we’re going to change the wine world, we’ve got to get away from the Parker is King thing. Gary, lead the way.
    Almost all of your emails quote him or the WS. How about a list of best selling wines under and over 20 bones.

  • Props to Peter Mondavi for not watching television…why would he when the most passionate programming is on the internet! I can definitely see you taking us on winery visits in the future, hooking us up with more heavy hitters.
    Mondavi wines have been a regular at family meals forever and are still one of my grandfather’s favorites at age 92…he’d love to get in on that old timers club in Napa.

    #1 – Mr. Mondavi – a real quality guest. Great family history! Thanks for sharing!

    #2 – Gary – you finally learned to stop interuppting the guest (almost completely) Awesome job today!!!

    2 Part episodes are a great idea for you. Like this, the guest was not rushed at all through the questions and answers while trying to sniffy and sippy.

    Gary, you know you are the ultimate multi-tasker!

    Hope to see more epi’s like this one.

    P.S. I bought your book a century ago and still haven’t received a sniffy sniff wristband. (hint hint)
