    Ah..well..maybe you will get one someday! Dream BIG! 😉

  • Cubatobaco (Ray)

    See, that’s what I need around here. I have one wine shop that’s pretty cool, but most of them tend to have stuck up sale associates that watch you like a hawk. Damn shame! If I ever get to Berkley, I’d love to go visit.

  • Dominic C.

    look forward to seeing this later, so first?

  • benkearney

    Lynch Rocks!!

  • ONUMello

    3rd… I'm going to LOVE this 2-parter, I've loved every wine of his I've ever had!

  • cellarrat5

    bring on my WLTV fix, too bad I will be moving barrels around with the forklift all day… more later…

  • johnfarrin

  • winecrazy

    Great show…… I have no idea what it was about……but it was great!!!!

    I guess I have to watch the show tomrorow now….. except I'll be in Cancun so I'll have to watch it at night because you know I'll be on the beach all day …… 🙂

  • Gio

    Nice cliffhanger there…

    Have missed quite a few recent shows, but returned because I'm a big fan of Kermit Lynch.

  • Max Kogod

    Couldn’t have asked for a better guest in the world. Yes, even Parker takes a back seat to Mr. Lynch in my book.

    First case I ever bought: 2007 Pallieres Gigondas Racines
    Second case I ever bought: 2007 Pallieres Gigondas Les Terraces de Diable

    Bring on episode 2!!!!!!

  • njc2o

    haha what a cliffhanger

  • Mr Taz

    Simply outstanding!

  • scottEJ

    Cool..from what I can tell, I've had that Rhone White and remember being quite solid. Paired w/Indian food and it stood up very well. Looking forward to the review.

  • Loshie

    Had no idea that KL was from San Luis Obispo! Makes me like him even more..

  • jylferris

    Great show today. Interesting story.

  • ONUMello

    Can't wait for part 2! So far this has been one of your best interviews ever.

  • orangebottle

    Wow, Kermit Lynch. that is so cool. I started going to his store when i was in UC Berkeley.
    He has a great store, it is like a Disneyland to me and my cousin. He has everything and everyone are so friendly in the store. Love it!

  • mattgmann

    Cliffhanger!!! Not QOTD, so I'll fill in.

    QOTD = What is Kermit about to reveal about how California let him down?

  • mattgmann

    I'm guessing that maybe he got arrested and California wouldn't bail him out and made him spend the night in county.

    Or maybe Kermit didn't like Terminator and got really pissed when Terminator became governor.

    My last speculation is that his old lady left him for California. Bros before hoes California!

  • The New King of Pape

    Kermit Lynch is a huge get.
    plus a shout out for Tempier.
    I cant wait to see part 2.
    I cant wait to get back to 1605 San Pablo Ave

  • johnfarrin

    WOW! Two guests in a row like this. Have you been holding these tapes for a long time thinking, “So they thought that was good, did they? Well, let's see what they think of this.” Part two better be longer than 15 minutes 🙂

  • Just Jack

    MOTTTTTTTTTTTTT. What a place to break it lol. That's like just mean.

  • mattgmann

    Hey G, what are the wines on the table? I'm going wine shopping tonight, and wouldn't mind picking up a bottle to taste along.

  • Mott

  • orangebottle

    Ha Ha, what an ending.. you are getting so good at this. Mott!!! Great show with a cliffhanger. you can be on strike for a few days and we'll be in front of our monitor waiting for the episode to start. NICE!

  • RANDINTHECITY

    Ray..
    Its a timing thing! (I still havent seen the ep. yet tho..)
    You want me to call you the second I see a new show posted?
    🙂

  • JDF from NYC

    DO we really have to wait until tomorrow for part II??

  • mattgmann

    Thanks Boss!

  • Cubatobaco (Ray)

    Most definitely! Haha!

    I have to wait until I get off work to watch the episode. Too many people in my office to distract me from my important lesson of the day.

    I'm mad that I didn't get the “Sniffy Sniff” wristband….

  • Cubatobaco (Ray)

    That sounds like a place to be desired. You get cut the tension with a knife in some of the stores around here.
