I love Havens, and my GF. In that order only when there’s a bottle of Havens Merlot open.

This guest didn’t kick any knowledge; what gives?????

P.S. When is Darth Vayner gonna make an appearance?

Hey Gary,

I liked the guest from the point of view that ‘he was having a go’at breaking down the characters of the wines… Not everyone is an expert!!! Kudos to Roger. Had a cracker of an NZ SB on Friday night…Montana 08 SB…..Entry level..I just love the passion fruit/cut grass and bell peppers. NZ SB’s beat the crap out of our Aussie SB’s

QOTD…..Go out for a nice dinner, she’ll have a sweet white wine (moscato), whilst I have a SHiraz…but importantly have a serious conversation over a nice meal and enjoy each others company….then head home and watch a dvd

I don’t know what to suggest.
Can’t wait to pop that Havens in 7 yrs. or so.

hey GV, does some of this hate make you cringe?

it makes me cringe.

and BTW, did you read Kahuna’s screenplay?

It’s been a while sine I last posted anything…..

QOTD: go to a play at American Conservatory Theatre, then go to a local restaurant, Antica Trattoria, and the bottle to be popped: Reverie ’04 Reserve from Diamond Mountain. I can’t think of anything better unless the play sucked and all I can do is pan the performance..at least then we’ll have a nice dinner with a great bottle of juice.

Good episode! I wish every guest were as into the experience of trying new things as this person. Nice!

Hot in the back is always a good thing! Great show =)

All the Best,

One of my favorite guests…I appreciated what he had to say. Nice to see that Cinderella wine, Thanks for the show!
QOTD: A long delicious dinner for sure.

Not my favorite show of all time, maily due to the guest. (no offense)

Havens wine you had on I’ve had, and it is simply spectacular. I did not realize you loved it as well… how long did you decant? I had mine open for 2 hrs and that sent it into the stratoshpere (positively speaking)

QOTD: there’s nothing before I pop the bottle… that is what get’s the night started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QOTD: It’s all about cooking dinner.

Nice lesson on what you look for tannin-wise for a wine with the ability to age.

QOTD: If popping a bottle most times it at home more wine for the money without the markup.

What was the deal with the edit when Mott was talking about the wifey power washing the deck?? I don’t see many comments about it.

QOTD: Cooking something on the BBQ. I’m not the greatest chef, but the motto in our house is that everything tastes good on the grill. We also frequently say that “this is a great wine for BBQ”. Maybe a crisp white on the deck before grilling and maybe a nice rhone blend with the bbq.

QOTD: Our date nights usually revolve around wine in some way 🙂

Great guest and you knocked it otta the park GV!

qotd: alone with the mrs talking and relaxing

I’m a Kiwi and have been drinking the Eradus Sauvy B since its first vintage in 06 – its definite star and made by a lovely couple in the Awatere Valley of Marlborough

YOOOOOOOOO, Da Mottster don’t get NOOOOOOOO RESPECT!!!!! How come his
schtick was deleted/edited from da Show??????? Enquirin’ Minds wanna
know!!!!!!!!

Not the best guest. You pretty much lost me when you said the wines were for people with wedding rings–I guess they are not for me, then, so why bother watching if you aren’t married. I watched anyway, but didn’t find the guest to add much to the show.

Love the timmy love in this episode!

thanks for the show.
QOTD: we date 2-3 times a week, been married for 12 years and still consider it a treat to have her in my life. I cook her dinner. Take her for walks. etc.

I also want to find out about the cut during Mott’s ranking on his better half. I thought you had to cut off the guest a bit in the opening monologue and turn it into a dialog. His discussion of his work went on too long. Nevertheless, once you got into wine he was a good guest. I liked the idea of drinking with non-wine guys because I can relate a little more.

QOTD: Stay at home on the couch with movie or on the back deck with a chunk of cheese and appetizers, otherwise we crack it as we cook.

Good show!

Thanks guys

QOTD: Hey mix it up! There’s a whole lot of exciting stuff to do out there – go for a long walk, catch a film, a good dinner, quite day at home – variety is the spice of love (and love)

Cheers
Andrew
