Super content! Thank you!

Leave the mic off, it would feel like your spitting on us when you say “most “P”assionate wine “P”rogram”! I think we can hear you just fine. Except maybe when you are on location, then it would probably make for better sound.

White page doesn’t do much from this end. Better stick to reading the comments.

The esporao has me very interested.

2007 Esteva Douro (Casa Ferreirinha) Red. One of the best wines I ever drank from Portugal and the price is incredible low. Anyone knows where to find this great wine here in the States?

Gary – these wines are crushing it, you’re on a roll this week! I had a Chilean Merlot last night that knocked my socks off. Montes Alpha 2006 Merlot Single Vineyard (Colchagua Valley). It had TREMENDOUS amounts of tobacco on the nose and delicious cherry on the palate. Smooth finish too.

QOTD: No mic. Sounds perfectly fine when you’re in the Thunder Saddle. Also, I liked the amount of objects thrown at the camera today, I didn’t count but I think you had at least 4.

GV – I agree w/ David T (@ONUMello) who posted above me, you should to do a Vinho Verde show! My girlfriend enjoys them quite a bit so I’d like to get some recommendations.

QOTD: No, you move too much for one 😉

You seemed a little off your game compared to yesterday….BUT always great that somebody does this for free almost every day. Unbelievable. It’s very much appreciated.
Oh yeah, and the wines. Awesome, thank you!

First half of the show you seemed a little out of it, but you really crushed it after the first wine. The quiet moment was like the eye of the storm on the thundershow! Cracked me up.

QOTD: No mic Gary! You seemed a little quieter this episode, perhaps it was because you didn’t want to explode our ears with your Passion(emphasis on the P) amplified by a mic. Sometimes you appreciate an explosion in your ears though!

Yo Gary! Keep up the great work.

No lav mic. It will probably peak too much when you get excited and since you are indoors you don’t have to worry too much about nat sound.

*********IMPORTANT*********

Flip cam episode from the hospital?

****YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST****

Rob “give me props” Abel

QTOD….Mic? Why? You’re not moving around that much? Maybe when you have a guest? But why make it more complicated than it needs to be right? Sounds good over here in LA. Thank you! No, thank you.

I agree. Also here in the UK, I think Portugal offers the best value for money. I’d love to see you do an episode on Sardinian wines.

QOTD: I don’t think you need the mic. for your office recordings, but yes when you are are on location, especially where there’s an audience.

Showing the wine against the white paper is good, just needs more direct light.

Hi Mate,

Shirt mic not an issue. Is High Def and option for the recordings? I’m sure MOTT would love some new toys.

Pre-congrats on the bubs!

Hope to touch base with you when I move to the US in June.

Best,

QOTD: You sound ok with or without the mike, so I’m on the fence 🙂

QOTD: No, audio is great already.. also the novelty of the close up sucking and spitting sound wears off pretty quick.

ps time for another blind tasting?

Ben

QOTD: please, no mike!!

BTW: just learning Portugal for my WSET-Diploma-studies and regularily getting mixed up with all the “new” grape-varieties.

Cheers from Germany!

QOTD: Gary this is simple. when you are at Wine Library no need, when you are anywhere else a most definite yes.

Best comments EVER! Great show! Killin it with the passion for some serious grape juice. Free shipping for everyone!
Shout out to Brandon! His 10 bone Merlot is killing it.
Can’t wait to try the Big Ass wine from Portugal.
RSS doesn’t seem to work with yahoo. How am I gonna know if you have a baby orsomethin?

One more time with emphasis.
YOGURT? Strawberry…….,,,yummmmmmmm
Good luck with the Baby. Thanks for the Passion.

First time I’ve commented… been watching since the low 300s
QoTD: No Mic

Random suggestion: Episode on Mead. Was at a meadery a little over a year ago… found it interesting and different from most everything I’ve had before.
Thoughts?

Yo GV, what the hell? You were totally out of it in the beginning of the episode, it’s like someone just told you a close relative got into a car accident or something. Then you got a little of juice in you and thankfully snapped out of it. Love trying new regions that blow your mind! The Esporão, I purchased for the list I do the wine buying for, about a year ago and it’s just disappeared amongst the 1200 other selections the restaurant carries. Thanks for reminding me why I bought it in the first place! Will definitely be recommending it to my guests again!

Hey Gary

Wireless Mike – Not needed.

You seem to be as hung up on Portuguess wine as I am on Chilean (here’s to the un sung hero’s)

Q.O.T.D = When the Thunder is there why do we need to ampliphy it? If it is not there, who want’s to hear it?

Love your work – Kepp the storm coming!

Hey Gary,
Really like your show. Would appreciate seeing more of Spanish wines, especially from some of the ‘new’ regions (Somontano, Montsant). As for Alentejo, why don’t you try ‘Corte de Cime 2005 – Vinho Tinto’. I find it a great wine for its 12EUR, has some personality.

Keep up the good work!!!

QOTD: no need. you do fine without

QOTD- NO, like the “personality” without the mic. it just sounds like we are there while w/ the mic, it sounds too studio like

note OTD liked the show a lot today. i am living in switzerland right now and the portuguese population here is amazing hence there is a lot of portuguese wines an produce here. no one seems to take them seriously though. thanks for the info
good luck with the next few days. it is like a beautiful time bomb that can’t get turned back…. enjoy

Sup GV. Great show.

QOTD: Yes Microphone. I have to crank up my volume for WLTV on my laptop while most other audio is considerably louder.

Keep up the good work.
