  • Good episode, Gary (though I prefer the more boisterous intros). Vouvray has been a hole in my wine experience. I shall remedy that.

    QOTD – Seattle Seahawks! Last year was an anomaly – we’ll be back in the playoffs this season. Good luck to your Jets.

    Long time watcher and first time poster, but I can’t help but take the opportunity to rep the greatest and most wonderful university in the world, the University of North Carolina Tar Heels. As a double heel (bachelor and jd) I have seen the Heels win TWO national titles in basketball and it gets sweeter with each victory.

    Dude, I hope you’re at least showering in between putting on the same clothes every day. Or at least taking breathers to let your palate refresh itself on a day when you record three separate shows.

    I have no experience with Vouvray, at all. I guess it’s b/c I never hear anyone talk about it. Perhaps I will buy a bottle this week.

    Favorite teams – Celts and Sox. And sorry Gary, but I have to pull for the Pats. It’s just where I’m from. I hate the Yankees and Lakers. The Jets are always good for a laugh… sorry!

    Wow….vouvray…..I’ve yet to see vouvray on the shelves at my side but definitely seem quite a few of Chenin blanc. So how do you compare between them since they are the same grape.

    QOTD:
    I’m not really into American football as where I come from we are not really exposed to it but I’m really into the original football aka soccer where the ball is actually kicked using the foot (as emphasized by Phil Oxera in the forum) and my favourite team is Manchester United from the English Premier League…….

    Great show as usual. Have not had a chance to try a vouvray yet but I definitely put it on my list. I’ve been shying away from whites for the past few years but think it’s time to get back into them again. Especially with the blazing august sun overheard.

    QOTD: Arsenal. All time favorite sports team ever. I’m a soccer fan through and through…

    is this your 3rd show filmed back to back?
    I notice i commented 2 episodes ago on your polo and you’re still rocking it. does that mean you read my comment and have kept wearing it, or have you been burning the candle and filming episode after episode after episode? judging by the lack of energy i’ll go for the latter option there.
    still, very informative show. gonna track these babies down. 90 seems like a fairly conservative score for those two wines which you loved and were at a fairly reasonable price point.

    QOTD: Hawthorn Hawks – ever heard of AFL?

    Sports: never got into them at all, i only know who the jets are because of you gary.

    I did not want to leave a comment because it bothers me when people have to beg for attention but I’m addicted to the show (no idea why, i don’t even drink much wine). I subscribe via itunes because it’s just the easiest way to keep track of all my podcasts.

    Mott, amazing job, feel you are stepping it up more, the lighting is getting better and better. just a little suggestion: maybe drop the light source down just a tad and lift the camera up just a tad, it will make Gary look better when the neck is not so prominent and dropping the light down will get the shadows out from his eyes.

    hiya Gary,

    After following the show since eposide 10 or 12 (instant classic quinta da carolina) I decided to leave my first comment. I’m with you about vouvray, it’s spetacular and under the radar. I live in the uk and have been to france 2 weeks ago for wine shopping, it’s by far one of the best values in the world.
    Watch the show day in day out, please continue doing what you do, it is essential to have a show like this. By the way i’m portuguese/brazilian but my team is the great ARsenal
