QOTD: The Guests

QOTD: The Guests

What a wonderful lady on the show. It was a pleasure to hear her comments. You really jumped on her during the Cava tasting) but she took it well, even though she looked a bit surprised at the beginning with your opening speech, after she got used to you fast) My question to you, Gary, why did you choose Cava for the last wine to taste? I would put it 1st, it was a nice Brut to begin with. Plus I was alwasys wondering. You do refresh a glass, but don’t refresh your mouth receptors. I’ve tasted lately Primitivo first & after Negroamaro Cantele. I didn’t refresh my mouth and later understood that it was a small mistake, cause the tannins from the 1st really added some more bitterness to the 2d wine. And later same day at night I’ve tasted Negroamaro again and it was muuch more light on the palette. So whatya think about it?)
QOTD: The most important aspect of a party is the beginning! I work as a sommelier at hotel and have seen loads of different parties) If you impress your guests from the start with some nice new cocktail or interesting pairing of amuse bouche with the wine they will be in a good mood. Than you just have to maintain this spirit with a good service and some other shocking-impressive moments. A nice good-bye “digestivO” (your style:) could be in place as well)
Wish you all best,
Alexey from Ukraine.

QOTD: I would want the party to be an occasion and an atmosphere where people want to be there. And the guests enjoy being there. I don’t want it to feel like an obligation to be there.

really happy that you enjoyed the Cristia CDR, I also have it in my shop and I’m equally excited about it. Another great ‘smack in the face’ wine from that region is Santa Duc (gigondas) which I’m sure you know. The ‘haute garrigue’ of 2007 scored 97+, but they also have some great value wines. check it out G!

Oh and I liked your quote of the month: “That’s the way I wanna see the sniffy-sniff go down” lol
