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…

  • QOTD 1: Gary’s pretty cool.

    QOTD 2: Samantha can go anywhere she wants. 🙂

    I actually like travel shows that focus on cities, getting to know the people, history, and food, maybe not so much the touristy stuff. I’d agree, too, that spending some time in the US might be cool – my wife and I try to take 2 vacations a year, one to a beach or island or something, and one to a US city (so far, Chicago and New Orleans are our two faves)

    Fun show! I love Samantha’s laugh and sense of humor!
    QOTD: Egypt, because there is so much more to explore than King Tut and the pyramids (which is what most westerners think of when they think of Egypt).

  • I agree with Rob in Vancouver.
    I’ve done some wine tasting in the Okanagan, and you NEED to do a show there (sepecially since you’re a white wine drinker).
    Quails Gate Chard – AMAZING!

    QOTD: Iceland. Fascinating landscape and the extreme daylight/nighttime would make for (even more) interesting TV.

    Great show. Loved the difference in taste preferances and that we can all just get along…

    Great show with a lovely guest.
    And also some nice wines.

    QOTD. Come to Belgium, more precisely to Bruges where we have fab restaurants and great wine lists.
    Town is small but very nice.
    And if you are bored, Paris is just a walk away.

    “nice” show, and thanks again for bringing some new wine to the table. I’ll be looking for the Uruguay wines in the future.

    QOTD: I not sure where you have not been Samantha, so I’ll through out the country South Africa as the place to travel. Both the wine and the country is upcoming. Enjoy, and thanks.

    I have seen 700 of these and this is the best! No offense to Dick Vermeil, Gretzky, or anyone else (VaynerDad)…

    It was the Simpsons reference that did it..

  • Awesome guest. Its always good to see someone with enough personality and sass be able to keep up with you. Never seen her show, but I may have to tune in.

    QOTD: not sure if she’s been there already, but It would be cool to see her go to Samoa, or some other small island nation.

    Great show, one of the best guests ever. May have to check her out on Travel.

    QOTD: Sam, if you haven’t already (and because of the South Am influence of this show) El Nariz Del Diablo train that you ride on the roof from Riobamba, Ecuador. Take some good wine and enjoy!
