90/100

Line of the day, Sasha – ‘I nailed it’ Gary ‘No – you agreed with Robert Parker’

Good show – I like the way Gary has so much more knowledge and insight into the wines tasted but doesn’t make Sasha feel bad for not knowing so much. Classy

    Not that king. I’m talking about King Kenny of Anfield. The greatest footballer to grace the earth (some of you may call the game soccer).

    Awesome show. I love a good California Cab.

    And I was even more stoked because I was just in Napa a few weekends ago on vacation with my girlfriend and I made a point of doing a tasting at Caymus. I now know what the heck you’re talking about when you compare a Cab’s style to their wines now.

  • Finally, the whole episode everyone is thinking “Get pops some damn food.” You could tell he was not happy to be without it. Great episode.

  • This is definitely one of the best episodes ever.
    Very interesting to see two completely different personalities working together.

  • {Heart} Sasha!!! Best show, so good!! Mouth watering over #2.

    Love Sasha!

    Thought Green Bay, rooted for Green Bay!

  • Love the Sasha shows!!!!!

    Good banter and decent wines by the sound of it. Gary would you call these wines ‘good value’ for Cali Cab they don’t seem too over the top in price. Also windering about the cellaring potential, how long these wines normally go for?

    QOTD: Well can’t make a prediction after the event, but I had a great time watching it.

    Cheers

    Great show GV!
    I like Pops on the show. OK now I just finished watching this show. Now I missed all 3 of these Wineries on my trip to Napa last summer. But Since I have become a Cab drinker.
    QOTD:Funny you both Nailed the Winner.

  • I believe their chocolate lava cake is the best dessert in the entire world. I will admit, their 7 layer chocolate cake is HUGE! And yes, they make a pretty good steak as well. Pair it with DeLille’s D2, which they usually have by the glass, it’s pure ecstasy!

    your Dad is smoother and much more restrained than I thought< how did he produce such a oddball akward raccoon son Gary? its great this show.
