  • She’s cute and smart, what more to ask?
    I’m a big fan of champaign even more than traditional wine, so I just loved the episode, and felt like I was missing something when it stopped…
    I cannot wait to see the rest of it!

    Gary and Jennifer,
    Great, great, GREAT show. This is the kind of guest I have been waiting for from you Gary since the beginning.

    You and the wine Jedi are the poop!

    I don’t care what everyone else says about short shows. I like long ones. I also like the crazy cork throwing obnoxious guy. Definately keep the nerd factor up though. I love entertainment and education together.

    P.S. Where the heck is part two?!!!

    Very excited to see part deux of this one. Jennifer is way over my head with the chemistry right now, but I am loving the level of geek coming out of this show.

    I had no idea that my favorite decanter of all time was made for bubbles.

    Wow! This was the best episode ever. What a fascinating young lady. As a pharmacist to hear that someone else is interested in the flavor chemistry of wines is a huge validation. Wish I had 6 years to devote to the MW. Looking forward to part 2.

    Gary, you still need to learn when to just let your guests talk. Learn from Leno and Letterman perhaps. Now that you have advanced to a level where you get guests who are more knowledgeable than you are, (But still less enthusiastic), you have to just let them speak. I know it is hard for you not to interrupt, but it appears so rude, and you often disrupt their train of thought resulting in a less complete expression of ideas. When you have an awesome guest, just shuddup!

  • What a treat today for the Vayner Nation. Gary, you were interviewer extraordinaire. Great job.

    Your guest is lovely and so knowledgeable. Brains and beauty perfectly matched and her grasp of the French language is exotic. I could watch and listen to her all day.

    Great nerdy show. We loved it. Looking forward to Part Due.

    Cheers!
