Gary, Great segments with Kermit. Educational and thought-provoking. Kermit is true pioneer and icon in the industry that has brought us some of the most interesting wines in the world.

QOTD: The perception that French wines are more expensive stems from the publicity and lofty scores First Growth Bordeaux, Grand Cru Burgs have received over the years. It's a shame that it has kept wine lovers from enthusiastically seeking out and tasting some of the most interesting wines in the world.

Great show Gary!! Your guest was extremely knowledgeable while at the same time ...humble.

qotd: as a young man i recall all things "French" were looked on as sort of upper crust. If you watch any comedy from 50's tv - if some one wanted to impress - they would be french. Some how this old joke has held on as cultural reality...

Answer To Kermit's question:

They don't anymore. People that attend a lot of wine tastings know that French wines are the best value in the wine world right now .  I'll put a $15 bottle of CDR up against any $25 bottle of wine out there!!!

QOTD: I have no idea. : /  i just tasted some french reds recently that were priced over 50 bones, and that's kinda expensive for me.
