88/100

line of the day – ‘if you get your whole nose in there you’ll get a much higher level of sniffy sniffness’

Thought the format worked pretty well and GV handled the tasters very nicely…but the wise-guy in the hat annoyed me (for several reasons; a/ butting in, b/ the smug smile and c/ the hat). Also the sound was non-existent when GV went around the table for opinions. Hope the rest of the week turns out better

    QOTD: You say New York City, I say LIVE FROM NEW YORK, It’s Wine Library TV!!!

  • Craig Hamlet

    I liked the show Gary. You’ve been talking ad nauseam about Portugal lately, so it’s good to see you finally taste some of their wines. QOTD: when I think of NYC, I think of that episode of Three Sheets with Zane Lamprey where he did an international pub crawl by limo on New Year’s Eve. That looked like fun.

    Had the villa santa a few months ago and hated it. Probably one of my least favorite wines of this year. Maybe I got a bad bottle but it was incredibly thin and lacking. On the other hand I still remember the taste very clearly so I guess that says something. Not for me! Normally I’m a big fan of the portuguese wines but this one just wasn’t working. I do agree that this one had some serious terroir going for it but it wasn’t necessarily a good thing in this case.

    QOTD: Not as great as chicago!

    Good show, Gary. It was good to see a show focusing on the non-Douro Portuguese table wines. I like Portuguese wine but I have not ventured far from the Douro yet.

    QOTD: Pizza!

    Great episode and nice to see if air earlier in the day! The guy to your right in the cheetah print hat was so G-D annoying all he did was make dumb faces and slurp down too much wine. Great show and can’t wait for the next one this week!1

    Interesting attempt to shake up the show’s format a bit, but the guy on your right was a talkative prat and the sound quality for the other guests was rubbish.
