Couldn’t agree more about the horrible packaging on the Pehu. Unfortunately I’m not a P Diddy style baller so won’t be trying it

    Wow… how many episodes did you tape before leaving? You da man GVee.

    QOTD: I’ve had bubble twice in my life. Once on my birthday (someone else brought it and I don’t remember what it was), and at a wedding (never saw the bottle).

  • What’s awesome about all these pretaped episodes is his energy level stays the same even though he probably sat down for 18 hours and banged them all out at once. I can’t drink wine because of an allergy, but I watch just for the passion.

    QOTD: Not a big bubble person. The best is a Piper Heidsieck Brut that I had with family fort Thanksgiving last year before my nephew headed off to Afghanistan.

    Gary, tried a Refosco when visiting Paso Robles last month and would like to see you do an episode on that grape variety.

  • I love Chanpagne— Nicee short episode.

    QOTD: I’ve never had champagne under the Eiffel tower, but the best bottle of champagne was in fact not the best champagne but a gathering with friends which made it special, after finishing school in Spain we decided to buy something to celebrate with and we picked one of the three local sellers and got two bottles of Freixenet Cava and one of Krug champagne which was all the bubbly they had in the store; three bottles, that’s it. As the evening went on we realized it was not enough for five guys but the sharing of stories and just being there as students made the evening immortal.

  • Q: taking the sword to a bottle of Cava out in the front yard on New Year’s Eve and using it as a decoy while I went in and cracked a bottle of Agrapart 7 Crus. Good times.

    Thanks for the drive-by–love the shorts, love the long-info-laden shows, too.

    Have enjoyed champagne; can’t say I’ve ever had any that sent me over the top…looking forward to trying the Pehu (will probably try the Legras also…)

    Thanks again!
