    Very good! I love the new champagne education!

  • Richie

    Awesome episode! Really great guest.
    I loved the sabering-action. Well done Gary! 😉
    Oh and you definitely need to get a QOTD from her. That will not do to have such a great guest and no QOTD from her.

    YES!!! Bring her back soon. I’d love to hear her talk about other types of wine.

    I’ll ask the QOTD. Who is your favorite guest?
    My answer….Jennifer!

    OMG!!!!! I don’t know how many comments I’ve left saying “this is the best episode ever”, but THIS IS THE BEST EPISODE EVER!!!!!! Even better than out in the snow episode. I cannot express how much enjoyment and pleasure I get from watching the 500+ episodes I’ve seen, and it’s shows like this that keep me coming back!

    Incredible episode from start to finish!
    Jenifer was a fountain of knowledge and a total sweetheart!

    That episode was a real “changing the wine world experience”

    Thank You Gary and Jenifer for an outstanding episode!!

    Also I always wondered about the “saber” tecnique and that was an excellent lesson and way to finish the episode!!

    I have learned so much!

  • Gary,
    Love your show, and I really like it when you get such a knowledgeable person as a guest. Master of Wine is a huge accomplishment. You do need to let go a bit and let them take the show. We know you have the smarts and a good palate. Your guest had equal skills and yes, she understood the science of it all but you could tell she loved wine and had a great nose and palate. She was very gracious when you dominated the conversation, and she asked you what you thought and she agreed with most of your assessments. It would be really nice if you shared the same courtesy. Comments like… “The apple notes are obvious.” as if any neophyte could pick that up was a touch condescending. Dude, you are a rock star… let someone else be a rock star, there is a lot of room out there. Good show and will continue to learn on my laptop.

    Nice show, G & Jennifer. I remember J. from her interview in Wine & Spirits and thought her story was interesting then. Really cool to ser her *in action*. Funny to think that some people go to school just as long to become Doctors, Lawyers, etc.

    Keep nerding it up – it helps when people ask me about wine make it seem like I actually know what I’m talking about.

    Nerds, geeks, rejoice with me! Thanks GV so very much for this show & guest. I’ve never had decanted champagne–will buy the accoutrements & give it a try. Champagne sabers: Fabulous, both of you! Plus you just solved a holiday gift-giving dilemma! Everyone’s going to want to try this at my next party, so I’d better start shopping for Multiple CASES of champagne, many more than usual!

    QOTD? Can’t believe you let her leave w/o asking! So, she MUST come back if for no other reason than you can rectify this oversite…

    Sweet episode and I’m definitely “trying that at home!” Only time I’ve ever seen Gary V slightly intimidated by someone else’s wine knowledge! QOTD: who’s the most attractive Master of Wine? AOTD: Jennifer!
