Definitely need better sound. Or maybe subtitles. Or at least titles naming the wines you are tasting. A digital version of GV “tasting notes.” And more close ups. Esp. on the wine labels. And maybe leave your discussion soundtrack in place, but edit in some shots of the vineyards and winery. Or leave as is, and everybody will still watch anyway, so it doesn’t matter. Great job on the Bordeaux videaux. Thanks for bringing le thunder!

Wow, blending along with Derencourt … you were damn lucky. Just great to see how important 1-2% can be. This part was even better than the first one. More of this please …

I really, really, really liked both of these episodes. Thanks for taking us along.

QOTD: I agree with those who have suggested subtitles. Especially when you’re busting through several bottles in a row. But everything here is great.

To clarify…not subtitles on every word. Just the vintages and blend information. Thanks.

Gary! you drank from the same glass as the winemaker at Chateau Sansonet

QOTD: My answer would be better sound quality. Also, for some viewers a bit of editing for dead air. (personally, I enjoy the details of “uncut” footage)

Enjoyed this trip, hope to see more travel vids. Thanks again Gary for being out there- T

GV,

Just scored three bottles of the 05 Reignac! Thanks for the episode and the comments. Great help.

Thanks!

Great job, Gary. Once again I loved the behind the scenes action. QOTD: Maybe sound quality for the other people talking to you, and how about a ratings of the wines you tasted posted at the end of the episode? I bought a 2005 Reignac Bordeaux myself and happy to see you enjoyed them. 2018, here I come!

I just watched this episode out of the archives, and so far, I like it even more than #500 from Napa. Seeing the process of assemblage with M Stephane Derencourt was, like Gary said, simply a humbling experience. The more technical the commentary, the better the learning. I would love to see something similar with Michel Rolland if that is available too. And I hope to try all three wines – especially Ch. Sansonnet.

I’ve been watching a couple hundred episodes, now, and this set is by far my favorite. I just learned a ton about how wines are made, how they are shown to buyers, how they are blended, and how they are brought to market. This is the “must watch” series.

Wow, Gary. Thanks so much for taking us along on this amazing journey through the pinnacle of wine country. Fabulous, fabulous episodes!

So much value in these two episodes!
Loved the blending bit.

Nice to actually see life inside those wineries, thanks Gary

would be great to see have a vin jaune on the show one day

Have Sansonnet in the cellar..interesting video http://www.winelx.com
