Between the Guigal and the St. Cosme you forgot to rinse the glass, just thought I’d throw it out there (It obviously did not matter). Good show, Ill look for that variety in the future.
QTOD- Being a Caps fan, making it two rounds, going to game 7. That was eye opening!

Most French wines have been a crapshoot for me and my friends. I have had so many bad ones (30 or 40) that I’m normally afraid to try any more. Thanks for showing us a couple decent ones. You were obviously surprised yourself finding 2 out of three good ones. My luck is 1 out of 30ish. Bad qpr! The Sainte Cosme is 60 bones here in Cali where I feel lucky to find it, but can’t afford regularly. I want to expand my palate but it’s very expensive and often very dissapointing.

Another super show…when you are by yourself, the 16 minute pace seems right on, and when you have a guest you need the extra 15 minutes or so for their intro and interaction…even shorter ones for the mobile flip cam work as well. It seems like after 678 episodes you are really getting the hang of it.

Looking forward to when you are doing baby food reviews in several months.

QOTD: Went to a distributor’s pinotpalooza tasting of US west coast pinot noir…my first chance to sample higher up the food chain…the Cristom Vineyards stuff – holy moley!

Wow Gary, these are the shows that I love to watch. Funny that you forgot to rinse between wine 2 and 3, then immediately picked up a little of the previous wine’s characteristics. That last wine would’ve been great to throw to the Wine Club B peeps (yeah, I’m one of those). The one Gigondas I’ve had before was big, montrously big. Wish I could swing $50 for the Valbelle. Keep up the awesome wines, and throw yourself some priceyer wines more often.

QOTD: The economy.

QOTD: Nobody’s going to do it for me but me (though my wife is a huge help).

Ciao from an American viewer in Italy, Gary! Almost never post comments but had to say it was a great show. I LOVE when you introduce the Vayner nation to new value regions, and for me living in Italy the wine world is so Italy-centric here I struggle to open up my palate to new regions of France, Spain, Portugal and New World! Appreciate these tips.

QOTD: Meeting my future husband and how important love is in your life! Thought I would crush it as a single girl…

Gary, great show, love gigondas, can you do a show on wine from coteaux du layon and all the wine dessert of loire….could be nice….jo pithon ….bonnezeaux…..moulin touchais….huet etc…..

Hi Gary

I am new to your site… do you review new zeland wines, or have you?

Mike

i am a gigondas fan, and i hope that prices dont go up.. but no hate mail from me as of yet, maybe when i cant afford them anymore i could blame you. lol kidding.

QOTD: walking away from finance and entering the spectacular world of wine.

Once again great show..I have a question for you!! so your cheeks decided to text you “thank you” does that mean your tongue will email you comments about the wine? 🙂

QOTD: Because i’m in detroit..Chrysler’s Bankruptcy has been the biggest eye opener this year.

Great show haven’t watched in quite some time, but good to be back. I would love to try more Gigondas, but like you said it limited.

QOTD Passing organic chemistry this semester, finally had the courage to chec my grades today and it was awesome to see that “C”

Yeh, I’ve drunk the Gig’, there’s enough around here in the UK, but ain’t had anything spectacular. Down in the Rhone, you, me and Randal all know that Cornas is a really great play. QOTD – just watching folk make their moves is always thought provoking.

Hey Gary, up here in Quebec We have roughly 20 to 30 different Gigondas at any given time. I have tasted the Tardieu – Laurent Gigondas vieilles vignes 2006 and the Laurus Gigondas 2005 from Gabriel Meffre lately and they are quite good. Another region that brings the thunder is the Cote Rotie, although pricier it can reward you with some GEMS! I know you did a show a few years ago but I had the Delas Seigneur de Maugiron Côte Rôtie 2006 and I must say it is presently SPECTACULAR. You should try this out…loads of Jerky and Bacon with some pepper, quite delicious!!!

Again a shout out from the great white North, Shefford near Montreal, Quebec!!!

Gary — it was awesome to watch you describe that last wine, you were fired up. I would love to give that wine a shot some day.

QOTD: I almost got hit by a car when I was walking across the street after work last week!!! It was not cool!!!

The biggest Eye Opener I’ve had this year is that no-one should ever work for a company run by old women that don’t keep up with technology.

QOTD: Mixing chocolate and katsup is horrific.

Still no mention of the Weekend Wall Street Journal wine article. You are the “V” in their alphabet. Big ups to Gary V and Wine Library TV.

Qotd, had a kid, end of story

After that “spectacular” reaction, I’m gonna be on full alert to find that last wine.

QOTD: The biggest eye-opener this year would have to be when I looked at some computer code (I’m a game programmer) someone else wrote. It’s very similar to what I’m working on right now, and was one of those moments when you sit and think, “I may think I know what I’m doing, but this is impeccable. I still have so much to learn.” My co-workers make me think that a bit from day-to-day, but that person’s code forced me to live it since.

QOTD: That the Brewers are the best team in the NL.

This is a little lengthy but it’ll be worth it. Just to rachet up your birthing angst and make you laugh. My last child was born in April 11yrs ago. Towards the end of March my wife’s Doc says guess what,your baby is to term(due date April 14th but as I always say they weren’t there when it happened you what do they know) and the baby is in breech position. The chances of her turning around are basically zero so time to consider a c-section. Over dinner and a nice Amorone (for me) she said let’s do it. Call the Doc to schedule. Doc says she can’t get her team together until April 6th. You don’t tell a full term pregnant woman to make that kind of decision then tell her it’s not possible for two weeks. Me, being my brilliant self said “do you have any objection to April 1st?” She thought it over and said no. Off to the phone and guess what? Who in their right mind would schedule their child to be an April fool. NO ONE! Therefore green light. Off to the hospital on the 1st. Being considered major surgery multiple things have to happen in preparation but none so important as the LAST person to enter the room: the ultra sound guy. He works around the rest of the mess and turns on the machine and proudly announces the baby is head down and in perfect delivery position. This unfirtunately cancells the whole program because now insurance won’t cover a dime since we would now be “electing the c-section”. We pack up and go home and wait for nature to take it’s course. Now it’s April 12th Doc says time to consider inducing labor. Wife says OK. 14th off to the hospital. Unpack, start the briefing with our appointed birthing staff and as the annoucements procede my wife says “I didn’t know this was involved or that wasn’t what my Doc told me”. Pack up go home. Six days later my wife says “I don’t care what it takes I want this baby now”. April 20th off to the hospital we go and 10:30 on April 21st my daughter was born. Now that she’s old enough on her birthday or sometimes as a reminder in discipline situations she is retold the story of what she put us through. But she always wins because through unborn willpower she decided not to be an April fool and there was nothing we could do about it. Talk about crushing it! All the best and be sure to share this with the Mrs. Kitch

Hey guy I like the short shows also; 15 minutes is perfect. Gotta get me some Gigondas! QOTD: my weight.

QOTD: that life does not wait on you. nor does it have any compassion. it is all on you.

Great show Gary, like the pace! Enjoyed the texting from the cheeks joke. You seem incredibly happy and it probably has nothing to do with the 2 good wines you just showed us. Mazel Tov on your baby.

Mixing Wine Library with the show is a bad idea. You and the show will sacrifice too much credibility. Both are spectacular in their own rights.

Good show, the south of France is full of wonderful wined still unknown to most of the world.
QOTD: I have been reminded how temporal our time here is.
