Hi GV!! Welcome back!! We missed a lot your wine insights this 5 years. Being an original Vayniac, and thru all this years asking for you to come back, its very nice to see everything changed for the best. Hope the family is very well, Sasha, AJ, Lizzie and Misha (a little baby when you stopped WLTV)! I myself, have a lovely couple babies at home, 30 month old boy and 8 month old girl. Hope WLTV is back to stay!! QOTD: 2012 Quinta Maria Izabel tinto, Douro. Great wine!

    More episodes with winemakers and even vineyard managers.

    Double blind tastings, so your reaction is not biased by brand recognition (as all of ours is).

    Good show…I hope that you will not do 100% of your shows blind next year. I think that is placing a limitation on the quality of the information you can or would put out. As for what I would like to see next year…more on wine education. Think Verticals, Horizontals, and maybe a few visits to wineries talking with wine makers. I’d like to see you hit Walla Walla, Oregon, Finger Lakes, and Cali…it would be fun to see Charles Smith back on as a return guest…and I’d like to see you go visit Jim Anderson and Patricia Green in Oregon to talk about their 2008 vintage. Just a few thoughts…

    Loved this episode…and the free shipping!

    Nice to see Mott get down with the sparkling stuff. That sold me.

    In 2010, would love to see more episodes…just in general. Double blinds are pretty cool, but that could get old. I dig getting some of the lowdown on the wines before and during when you’re tasting. More Mott in 2010, too.

    While each of the wines were well over my self-imposed price point, I did again, enjoy your presentation and evaluation. I know it’s my loss not to partake, but I will be satisfied watching you being satisfied.
    QOTD? I’m coming up empty pockets.
    I enjoy the current mix you now have…..
    the blind tastings, guests- (serious wine drinkers or not), the shots from your hotel room, the local bar, etc. It’s all good stuff, to which, I could only ask for more.

    Gary, at least you’re not a Chiefs fan! You want to talk about depressing..ugh! In 2010 I would like to see more domestic wine tasted. From Cabs to Sparklers. I’m struggling to find one show on domestic sparkling wine, I think that’s a travesty. Thank you for all you do and Happy Holidays.

    I would like to hear from the winemakers themselves and what they are thinking when crafting their wines and or blending. Do they target a certain market or are they true to a style.
