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…

    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!

    I’m not that big a fan of wine and I LOVED this episode of WLTV. Samantha Brown is such a sweet, beautiful woman. You were very lucky to be seated next to her, Gary! Keep crushing it!

    FANTASTIC SHOW!!! Loved every second – I loved how Samantha was not afraid to speak her mind. Finally, someone who will just give a personal reaction to the wine and not worry what Gary might think! A woman who can hold her own… and she stuck to her guns when she did not agree. Have her back on again. Most definetly my favorite show.

    QOTD – have no idea – how about somewhere remote that no one has really heard about – maybe Samantha can start “changing the travel world.”

    Great guest!
    QOTD: I would like to see you explore some out of the way places, small fishing villages on the coast of . . . you name the country, or small, remote mountain towns with amazing vistas. I think you have done most of the big cities and main tourist attractions.

    Hey Sam… I’ve been following your shows since you came on Travel Channel. Loved Great Hotels. You should travel to south india – tamilnadu – the place to go for one of the best cuisines in India. This part of the world hasn’t been explored much but the travel channel.

    AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME SHOW!!

    QOTD: I’d like to see a show on the Canary Islands. They’re kind of like Europe’s “Hawaii”, but you don’t really hear a lot about them. I lived there for a while and there are so many different things to see and do there – great people, great food, incredible scenery – and every island has its own unique cultural flair. And they make some pretty nice wines, too! It would make a great show!

    QOTD: Definitely NEW ZEALAND
    Sam, You will love it! Great wines, great scenery, lots of things to do…absolutely stunning country!
    Actually, Gary, you should go to. The world’s best Sav Blanc and also excellent Pinot. I’m from NZ (now living in Jersey!) and can give you the inside scoop on where to go and some locals you need to meet 🙂

    Great to see Sam Brown on your show Gary. I’m a huge fan of her Travel Channel shows. Nice surprise guest!
