Best moment is when Robert Parker says that we should be making wine more accessible and friendly and GV turns the camera on himself to capture a big smile and a wink.That was a real laugh out loud moment for me https://khosim.com/

    The visual experience of being there was worth the episode. Couldn’t really gain much from it… but again, you took me to a ‘world’ that I surely will never see. Gracias mi Amigo

    QOTD: It would have to be one of the WLTV parties in SF. Good peeps, prizes and schwag galore.

  • SurfCityJay

    Cool behind the scenes look into what you get to do… JEALOUS!

    I understand with it being in Spain and all, but having to sit through all the translation is BORING!!!

    QOTD: Not an event, but a tasting, in 2008 at Jordan winery in Sonoma… tasted great wines, capped off with a 1983 Cab… not one of the 15 in the tasting had ever had a wine that old…

    That..was…SWEET. rioja is the first wine I remember drinking, the wine that started it all…and so it has a special place in my heart. Cool to be behind the scenes, i love these “on location” shows, like you did the Bordeaux trip.

    QOTD: I had “the in” at the Hospice du Rhone but couldn’t make it, so ummm, donno need to go to more events I guess!

    Very much appreciate the “behind the scenes” episode. For those of us who may never have the chance to attend an event like that, it’s certainly interesting. Also appreciate the “to the Jets” toast. It was a welcomed counter to the obviously perfunctory “rioja” of the famous speaker.

  • QOTD: Chateau Grand Cru at Örebro castle in 2004. 15-20 wineagents with 5-10 different wines each and and lot of chocolate, chees and other vendors. It’s easy to get tipsy just walking in that environment 🙂

  • Felt really James Bond, like spying from in your coat pocket. I think this is a great idea and I wouldn’t mind seeing other stuff, if people will let you tape, like a wine buying session etc.

    QOTD: None, unless you count the local wine tastings with my peeps, which rock.

    Ok, it’s hard to get a true LOL out of me, but your pop-off comment about ‘To the Jets!’ got me.

    Thanks very much for giving us this insider’s look into this event. I can guess what this event cost to attend, and so our 15 minute clip probably puts us in your debt for some bank. I guess the least we can do is buy a mystery 3 pack?
