It is now!

Another great second part, she is adorable and very interesting.

Great guest! Great episodes! Personally, I thought the interview style was fine. There is some time limit for the show and an interviewer needs to direct some of the conversation.

QOTD: I look for a wine to teach me something new or interesting. I like to be surprised by wine. Balance is important too.

QOTD; Elegance. A good story.

I like that lady… she’s very sweet. Haven’t had too many of those but I’m a big type of wine guy so.

QOTD: I look for wine that moves me….. 🙂

Thank you for these two shows. LdH is my favorite winery and it was an extraordinary treat to see Maria; how utterly charming. And for once, Gary, you didn’t over run your guest…okay once when you asked her a question and then starting talking to Mott…but her passion and energy were equal to yours and so the manhandling that you did of Kermit Lynch and Peter Wygant, for example, was in check. Don’t get me wrong: I like your show a lot but I always cringe when you steamroll these exceptional quests. QOTD: I look for wines that speak from the soul of the producers. It is clear that LdH does just that. Thanks again for this extraordinary interview…and who could not be in love with this delightful woman.

What a fabulous guest! Especially like the historical perspective. I must fine an aged rose to try. QOTD: I want something with character -the place, the grape, the approach. Not wine for the masses.

Spectacular guest. So charming, honest, and passionate. Definitely in my Top 5. I totally want to go back to Spain right now. Beer FTW!

QOTD: Balance, not only in the wine itself, but to bring me back into balance, as days can spin or twist all of us in different ways.

Great episode. I’ve been drinking LdH wines for a few years and I especially like the whites. It was very interesting to me to hear more about the winery from Maria Jose herself.

QOTD: I look for all sorts of things in wine depending on my mood, setting, or whatever, but the one consistent thing I like is perfectly integrated medium high to high natural acid structure. I quickly lose interest in wines that don’t have this.

sorry for the steamrolling 🙁

train, not far!

Nicolo thank u!

😉

Gary, best 2 part ever. Great guest!

QOTD= Balance, with good mineralality and acid. A sense of the earth it came from.

Coming from a Latin background I have to say this is one of the best episodes ever made, I love your passion, I love your enthusiasm and the interview style used says a lot about how you care. My father is a wine maker in Cuba and most of the influence and inspiration in his art comes from Spain. All my teenage years I grew up around his craft. What I look in a wine is the character and have a tendency for semiseco

But don’t let that stop you, in the end is energy what moves this world

isn’t life slow enough in Canada … 😛

I was just talking to my husband about you at dinner (your show) and thought I’d check out your show tonight. And here you are with a super awesome lady from Spain (were I grew up). SUPER FATE!

QOTD: I am new at the wine thing, but have been looking for a red wine that leaves a sweet but bold after taste. I’ve yet to find a red wine I can say OMG BUY A CASE!! But again, I’m new and maybe Total Wine is not the right place to start with so many options. I am going to try your wine of the month club and go with YOUR gut instead.

Aymee- I would be thrilled to help you with your quest. I will find your wine from someone in your area (no matter where) or find a store that has your “dream wine” and will ship to you. Please email me, aaron(at)winelibrary(dot)com I would be more than happy to help! Thanks, Aaron M

First post after watching a bunch. Great guest! Maria represents everything that families are missing these days.

QOTD: An experience. Something that removes me from the current time and place and takes me elsewhere.

YEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!!!! 😛

when I went there for the tasting on 7/10 I emailed Kmurph and she gave me great directions accept for from the train to the store. Google

QOTD: Personality, character, individuality, and balance of structural components all describe what I look for in a wine. I like a wine to have fresh acid regardless of red or white to start, but a wine that really gets my attention makes me really think about what it’s giving me. In other words, interesting, unique aromas and flavors that set that wine apart from just any other fermented grape juice that’s been put in a bottle. If a wine simply tastes like berries and oak, then it could have been made from grapes from anywhere and put into a $1500 barrel of French oak by anyone with the money to do it. Wine should have a personality and individual character that makes it an experience that can never completely be replicated. Of course, the circumstance in which it is consumed, including with whom and the occasion, is often the most important part of the experience. Good company and good wine, in that order of importance.

Gracias Maria
QOTD: a good taste, a smooth feeling and a happy face

I read where NBC is developing “Vines”, a supernatural drama set at a winery in Napa Valley.
It’s Falconcrest meets X-Files.
I hope the Oak Monster will make an appearance.
