Spectacular episode. What a great guest. Well done!

Too bad you didn’t taste the Cesari Mara. That is a Ripasso Valpolicella that blows my mind. Incredible complexity and length. I sell alot of that wine. $25 OH retail. Beautiful stuff.

QOTD: Horribly weak dollars that means the end of under $30 European wines of any quality. Fred Franzia owns 50% of the vineyards in California. (I hope I’m joking.)

Interesting episode, thanks!

QOD – Most likely a big damn mess.

Hubert is amazing. He looks really great. My mother is one year younger and has more health issues, but she smoked and broke a hip.

QOTD: I hope that the future will include Henry or more people like Henry. I, personally, am trying to live in the present as much as possible.

Love this guest. I hope im that sharp at his age!

I didn’t get through this yesterday, but boy am I glad I saw it today!

Absolutely delightful. Great guest, great questions, great history and viewpoint.

Thanks again Gary, for a wonderful show. How’s your knee?

God Bless.

liked the episode, felt like i was watching my grandfather on WLTV…now if i can only look as good as he does when i’m 93 i’ll be happy

QOTD: underwater

Great guest. Amazing to listen to someone that was around for the growth of an industry AND many of the historical moments of the 20th and 21st century.

QOTD: I hope to be happy and healthy with my family and friends all around me.

Hell, 93 years old. I wish. OPICI is a fourth generation company which recently celebrated 75 years in the business. Fourth generation businesses in the US are about 3%,

Thanks for a great show and the great way you conducted yourself. Cheers

Loved the guest. What a life! He should get a biographer to write his story, that would be a good read.

QOTD: I’m only thinking dire things in the light of global warming and mass slaughter of animal life. Hopefully we can get our act together and start caring about the wellfare of our planet and the other creatures on it. If we care about our families, especially our children it should be easy to make the changes we need.

Winelibrarytv Rocks!!
Great guest!

QOTD:
Either a really scary place where multinationals control and own everyonething…or a really beautiful place where we evolve into something better and become more progressive in our thinking.

I could listen to his stories all day. Mr. Opici is a living history book.

QoTd: According to the Mayan calendar we only have until 2012, so live it up until then, and if we last any longer I predict WLTV Stadium, Gary owns the JETS, and we have a dynasty for 3 or 4 years.

What a change the wine world has been through!

QotD: I hope the world will be full of happy, loving people in 25 years.

Great guest… we need to listen to our elders more, that is for sure! Also, you were very respectful Gary in just listening, nice work! How did the surgery go, by the way?

QOTD: In 25 years we will be one small step closer to utopia. What can I say, I am an optimist!

Great episode and guest loved the stories.

Keep up the good work Gary.

awesome.

Classic episode. Gary gets another heavy hitter guest who knocks it out of the park.
God bless you Mr. Opici.
My grandfather who is the same age, and HIS uncle (who is a few years younger – big Italian family) always have a jug Opici in the cellar. In the summer we add some ripe sliced peaches or nectarines when they are in season.

QOTD: there will be fine wine coming from countries and regions that we never before thought possible…

Oh yeah…and bump the Jim Cramer episode and add Mr. Opici to the favorites in its place.
Thanks.

This was another great episode. Love the history of the industry, heck I just love history.

QOTD – Probably more of the same. This place will continue without all the predictions of disaster and doom. May not be utopia but nor will it be as bad as many predict.

A nice classy show

qotd: my 25 year outlook is not rosy, we will just leave it at that. Better spend that money now while its worth something

Makin’ interview skillset progress my man. Well done.

QOTD: Spherical.

as always, a serious treat to hear the life and history. Seeing the jug wine takes me back to being a kid in the 70’s with my grandmother drinking rhine wine. Not sure if I can find it in IL, but worth a try.

QOTD – hopefully leaving me as happy and enjoying of my life as Hubert is today

Keep ’em coming!

Fascinating interview – the historical perspective this guest supplied was incredible – keep it up! I must admit I loved seeing that jug – I suppose I was drinking that size Carlo Rossi when I started, but hey, it got me into wine…….

Great show!!!!!! I would never have guessed Hubert is over 90, except for the fact that the idea to make Zin 91 came about on his 91 birthday.

I love the Mara Ripasso and wished you would have tasted it on the show.

QOTD: Hopefully a better and more sustainable place than it is today.
