Kevin, are you saying that Leigh and Eric spent more time drinking than talking to people? I keep telling them “podcast first, then drink”. Perhaps they reversed things again. You can trust that I will never let that happen to me.

Wes, the customer is always right. So, I am sure you would not want to let Kevin down and hold back 1 bottle of wine for the GR bunch. Well?

Please tell Wes Hagen from ClosPepe that one of your podcast listeners just placed an order on his site for 2 bottles of 04 pinot and futures for 2 bottles of of the SV 05 pinot. Nothing huge that he will be able to retire on but I’m sure I’m not the only consumer out there who has been inspired by your program to do business with your featured winemakers. Maybe you can work him for a free bottle for the grape radio bunch as a referral fee. Keep up the great work.

Oh yea, loved the vegas show too – clearly the wine was flowing that evening. Looking forward to the next episode…

Great show! It sounds like yall had a blast.
I especially liked Anthony Barton’s candor & matter-of-factness.

Cheers,
Collin

Blake, thanks for mentioning that specific point. We tried harder to talk to more people this time than last year. I liked it better myself. Of course, I am biased.

Thank you for a delightful experience. You selected a sufficiently diverse group to interview or comment that I almost feel I had been there…..except, of course, that I didn’t get to taste the wines.
