line of the day (after guest catches knocked over glass) – ‘Tell me your athletic background. Well, I played for the Jets’

Solid show although the guest let herself down a bit with the QOTD which was all about her rather than wine or the Vayniacs. Admittedly she was caught off guard but even so…

  • Nice, nice show featuring some interesting wines. Chilean SBs are the hiz.

    QOTD #1: Yes, Gary is the coolest.

    QOTD #2: Kahuna had the best answer but since he took that one I would go with Tasmania since they are producing some wonderful champagne-style wines.

    Cheers!

    P.S. Just saw the Pats spank the Jets. Sorry 🙁

    Go Colts! 10-0!

  • Suzanne

    great show, she is so adorable and I really admire her travels
    GARY!!! Torrontes is not pronounced Tor-Ahn-Tes, rather Tour-Own-tes
    You gotta work on that accent if your gonna play with the Argentians

    Great show!!!!
    I’ve been a fan of Samantha Brown’s work. She’s fun and her shows are informational without being boring. This is definetly one of the top shows for me personally (including the fact that south america is the go to place for my wine choices right now)
    Next you should get Adam Richman (from man vs. food) on the show!

    qotd: I’m nt sure where Smanatha hasn’t been, but i’d like to see the new Asia stuff.

    You should go to my house…my wife and I are big fans of your shows. You have a great personality and are very witty. I just saw the episode where you camped out over night with a group of women…too funny. We’d love to hang out and drinks some vino.

  • Oh Canada

    Samantha, you are so worthy and a delight. I waited to view #772 until after the Jets humbled the Patriots. Samantha, you, Gary and a three glasses of Achaval-Ferrer were the tonic to turn around a bleak November day. As they say in Uruguay; muchas gracias por su auxilio.
    QOTD: South India but don’t eat the dirt or anything raw, and boil the water.

  • When the bland meets the bore.

    Samantha asks “Do you know where the Casa Blanca Valley is? ‘Cause Chile is sort of a string bean….”

    Gary says “Yes. It’s right on the coast. It’s coming right off the coast, so you’re getting a lot of those cool winds. It’s a really beautiful place. And what’s really interesting is the terroir is extremely fascinating.”

    For the love of god. When great minds meet can knowledge be far behind? Yes. Vaynerchuk truly is the Miss Carolina of the wine world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww

  • Lovely guest. I get the feeling some people commenting don’t know how famous she is. Which just goes to show how humble she comes across as. Loved her honest opinions.

    QOTD: Have you been to Antarctica?

    QOTD – Myanmar…… please try to shed some light on a place that has such a shadow over it. They also have some local vinyards, although they are still in it’s infancy!

    Samantha was great. I was actually impressed with her tasting skills. She is very causal and funny. I never realized she was born just up the road in NH.

    I think this is the first time in 772 episodes that someone used the term “expectorating”..
    Fun guest. Good choice GV. I think she also used to only visit Disney resorts before the Travel channel let her go out further.. Was that her?
    QOTD1: Not as cool as he thinks he is. But cool enough.
    QOTD2: Oklahoma. Why? Why not. I’m in Boston, just thought it would be funny.

    Great great guest ! We all love you Mrs Brown.
    QOTD #1 Gary is the coolest. Next to Mott of coarse.
    QOTD #2 Camden NJ
    Gary if you could bag Michael Rolland that would be funoblular.
    Then the Burg Hound.

    QOTD : If you have not been, please go to Greece, It is a historic wine region and has so much history to offer.

    EXCELLENT episode. She should come back. She would be a good candidate for the reappearing guest with a different palette I spoke of. Plus, you have good chemistry. I think Gary, Samantha and the dude from Wine & Spirits would make a great trio tasting.

    How’d you land a celeb like Samantha Brown, you lucky dog. She’s good on the Travel Channel. The wines today, eh, seemed OK but I’m not rushing out the door to jump on any of ’em. I think the fact that you had “nice” wines put you in a weird place GV. You probably like the extremes cuz it gives you a reason to get wild!

    QOTD: How about Africa? You should team up with those guys who do the Planet Earth series…awesome!

    This was a very good show! I’ve watched SB on the Travel Channel and am happy to see that she’s a “regular person” who can hold her own unscripted without re-takes.
    QOTD: Japan. I know SB has been there, but how about a Japanese wine (real grape wine, not Sake) episode?

    in keeping with the host as the guest theme, you should have zane lamprey from three sheets on.
