QOTD: only mike up when you are on the road “on location”. In the office, just change Mott’s name to Mike.

I think is time for another breakout show like the expand your palate one, temp effects, cooked wine one, etc… you’re too much in a groove with the last 3 shows. Gotta shake it up a little.
Maybe a show to test bottle shock myths (letting a bottle settle before drinking – i.e. ship one to yourself and compare it against a control one you already have!)

QOTD: No mic works fine, keep doin what ya doin

P.S. You’ve been crushing it lately with the shows Gary V, don’t let up!

No, thanks you Gary V!
QOTD-When you are by yourself and in your office, no mic needed. When you have guest, they should have the microphone if they are quieter than you (which is just about everyone), and if you are on location you should both be wearing one as it will help make your voice stronger over the hustle and bustle of what is around.
and of course the Espora is out of stock 🙁

yes

No! I really meant no but for some reason said yes!!

No, thanks to you GV !! You are Great and doing your job well.

QOTD: No Mic. I hear you loud and clear.

Thanks for reaching out to us by saying… Thank You.

All the best to you and Liz.(Baby too)
And Family.

QOTD: I think probably not, but have not heard a comparison to better base a decision.

I hyave really enjoyed discovering some of the little know and under-appreciated wine regions of the world. Some really delicous stuff!

QOTD: No. Did someone say that you are too quiet? I mean… has anyone ever told you that you are quiet?

How about a blind tasting of Burgundy, mixing in expensive with cheap?

no mic

Hey thanks for reading the comment on-air…I was hoping you would pick up on the slight bouquet of sarcasm and the palate-in-cheek flavor…
Thing is, like a well made wine, the Thunder Show just keeps getting better.

I’ll have to do some more research about where to find the Esporao in Vermont (or go out of state)…I usually scour the Portugal sections but have not seen it before…does not come through any of the distributors that I am acquainted with here. The impotradores page at http://www.esporao.com does not seem to be giving up the goods…any way to get to the importer through your distribution contact?

QOTD: no mike in the thunder seat, you project just fine…tell the guests to yell a little to keep up. Definitely consider the wireless mike on location especially with a rowdy crowd lik eyou had a couple of weeks ago.

Nice show… will look for these wines here in SoCal…

QOTD: No mic…

QOTD: No, because I think a compressor microphone would do better. Set it up under the camera and point it at your face. ‘Nuff said.

Something like this, although it doesn’t need to be this mic exactly: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SM81/

Gary,
When I was in Portugal locals told me that they mostly drink wines from Alentejo and Estramadura since they are cheaper that the wines from duoro and dao.
I discovered wines from Bairada region. They have floral qualities not unlike Barbaresco. I heard people comparing them to Barolo as well.
Looking forward to drinking more Portuguese wines.
Keep bringing them!

NO MIC!!! It sounds far better as is than those couple of micd up shows a while back

The peace was like a beautiful calm refreshing oasis

Hi Gary I was wondering if you spoke any other languages than English? I assume you speak Russian with your family background, but do you speak French, Spanish, Italian? One way or the other how does this affect your involvment in the wine industry?

I’m proud to be Portuguese.
Keep up with the great show and the surrounding concept about wine.
When do you’ll visit us?

All the best.

Love you Gary; your getting a bit weird at the moment as I think certain things are on your mind in regards to fatherhood! but that;s cool; keep up the good work and many more episodes. QOTD: No mic!! Please!! it just doesn’t work.

no need for a mic in the office where it’s quiet. a mic when on the road would be nice though (see episode from qwest field).

Gary V., you rock!

You have been on a roll lately: the format, the subjects, the energy…keep it up!

Wow! a quite moment on WLTV, a first! (hihi)

I share your appreciation for Portuguese wines. I love Touriga Nacional based wines (the Port varietal).

QOTD: a) Try the mic for a week and see the results. I have no issue with the way you are doing it now.
b)try a better angle with the white paper and the wine. Maybe better lighting would help.

Good luck with the coming of child!

Cheers!

Gary,

Mike it up to improve sound quality. Still waiting for a Mott cam/mirror?
Best wishes on your upcoming delivery. Hope you give him/her a wine-themed
middle name?…Still hoping for a Canadian appearance.

Gary I loved the show, specially because I do know these wines here in Brazil, however, as a portuguese speaker I’m so sorry for you pronunciation. LOL

The correct pronunciation in english would be sthg like “aa-len-te-jow”.

still the white show be tried chilled, I do know you don’t like it, but, it’s how the winemaker intended it to have it drunk. It’s hoe you gonna take out of it the best experience. You have to expand your palate and make a show on chilled x non-chilled whites, think about it.

about the reds, Portugal is the country with the largest number of autochtone grapes, that’s why it impresses you so much. Portugal is flying under the radar, and make really seriuos stuff.

congrats!!!

PS. you show have the red Pera Manca.

QOTD….6:30PM EST on May 20th, and no show posted for this evening? Could it be that Gary is a daddy? Congrats…take the rest of the week off.

QOTD:

No mic on the main set. However, use one when you’re on location somewhere (restaurant, cruise, live show with a crowd) – in those situations, it would help to cut out the background noise.
