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…

    Very good show. Can’t believe I didn’t comment on it last week when I actually watched it. I haven’t seen Samantha’s show, but I’ll be sure to try to check it out. And I love that she was not at all intimidated by you or the wine-geeky setting. She liked that the wine disappeared, and that’s just how it is. Perfect.

    QOTD1: Significantly cool, but in a non-conventional way. He makes wine-geeks think *they’re* cool, and that, my friends, is a gift.

    QOTD2: Haven’t seen her show, so I don’t know where she’s been. How about anywhere above the arctic circle?

    QOTD: I don’t care where YOU go, but I’d like to see Tanzania and Mozambique. Actually, if you go there, Samantha, I’ll get to see it on TV, so it might as well be you and that’s the spot.

    GREAT guest. I’ve been a fan of hers for quite some time. She make a great co-host! She’s has a different palate than you and is not afraid to say it.

    QOTD – He’s cool when he gets more “nerdy”.

    QOTD #2 – Where ever you go, let me know ahead of time so I can meet you there.

    Great show, Samantha Brown (aka stealer of my dream job 😉 was an interesting, fun guest. Liked that she stuck to her guns, stayed true to her own palate.

    QOTD: So many places I’ve never been, and since I live vicariously through Samantha, I’d like to see her to go to Africa (esp. South Africa, great food and wine) and Australia.

    I am a big fan of Samantha Brown’s and of her shows. This was one of the better guest shows Gary has done. Usually he talks over guests (Dr. Vino) or kisses their a$$ (Heidi Barrett or Wayne Gretsky) but Samantha held her own. Great job!

    QOTD: what about Samantha Brown’s Passport to Wine? She is already in all the great locations of the world anyway why not sample the local wines while she is at it? That is a show I would watch. Samantha, just remember where you heard the idea;-)

    Hi, Gary. Great shows the past couple of weeks. I’m anxiously looking for you to taste the wine I gave you at Watchung Booksellers a couple of weeks ago. Here are some additional details about the wine.

    Domaine Cordoliani?s La Perle Noire, 100% old-vine Carignan from Corsica. The June 2008 Revue du Vin de France rannked this wine #1 under New Discoveries. The purchase price was $17, giving this wine an amazing QPR in my opinion. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

  • Wowza. I’ve been off traveling and I come back to find a Samantha Brown ep! You weren’t kidding when you said you had some great episodes in the works! Strong work, Gary. There was enjoyable chemistry between the two of you.

    QotD: I don’t watch Sam regularly, so I don’t know where she hasn’t visited. But I think it would be very cool to have her visit some of the great places of Russia.
