89/100

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…

  • 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.

  • QOTD: I’ve never heard of this lady but I did love how she couldn’t come up with a travel question! I think, if she’s been pretty much everywhere, maybe a stint in Papua New Guinea.

    Nice to see a showing from Uruguay on the show, thats the first on here from Uruguay right?

    Good mix of wine, v.informative, liked it.

  • Really good show. I love Samantha Brown mainly because I like her voice and she usually wears bikinis on her show, but still, good guest.

  • nice show to come back to after a short absence…the satellite is slow so this is the only one I’m going to get in tonight, from a several episode backlog…
    No TV for several years but we’ve seen Samantha when we were traveling and had hotel tv. super down to earth and that counts for a lot.
    I hope you poured her another glass of whatever she wanted.

    Keep your eyes on the northern valleys of Chile…the Limari and Elqui.

    QOTD: maybe debunk some questionable destinations like Scranton, PA?

  • Infms40

    They forgot to rinse the glasses on the last pour. I mean I would be tempted to keep pouring wine for Samantha too in that situation but that has to alter the tast of the wine greatly. Mot the 89 pt score is bogus! “When was the last time GV forgot to rinse the wine glass?” that should be a trivia question!

    When I think of wine from Uruguay, I think of Tannat or Torrontes. I’ve had nice Tannat blends from Uruguay.

    PA sells a Trinchero Petit Verdot which is pretty good.

    QOTD: Some places in Europe that you haven’t visited yet.
