    Nice guest, I like her personality and down to earth attitude for someone who has accomplished so much in the wine world. She certainly breaks the stereotypes. More like her!

  • Seriously a saber? What wine dork said… you know what knowing everything there is to know about wine isn’t enough. I need to open mine with a sword. Hilarious. I can’t wait to go home and open a bottle of IPA with my new beer pistol.

  • Probably my favorite guest in WLTV history. She didn’t just show up and taste some wines. She brought the Thunder with passion, crazy knowledge and charisma! Watch out for your job GV!

    OMG!!! That was redonkuolous!!! How exciting! I so love the bubbles…have them every Sunday with my love to celebrate our life together!! We should all have champagne at least once a week or something sparkling! Gary you amaze me + you swallowed the champagne instead of spitting it out!! Awesome on the nerd scale! Would love to sit in on one of her seminars if she does that.

    Hi Gary,
    I was wondering if you place the decanter on ice to detain the cold will it work as well with regards to aeration?
    Love the show!
    Thanks
