  • @TheTriumphTR2 hey, not sure what Gary thinks but we use the vinturi on all of our red wines. We pour a bit into the glass straight out of the bottle and then a bit through the vinturi and compare. It depends on the varietal and age and etc but the vinturi does a great job of opening up things like petit verdot for those of us that are too impatient to let it decant. I'd say, it's worth trying for yourself.

  • Gary you've helped me "A BROTHER FROM THE HOOD" understand the language of wine..Thank You...

  • Questions.....WHY do supermarket wine buyers palates suck soooooo bad. I mean, its like they don't even taste the wine....they just buy overpriced shitty wine. Why do i have to go all the way to a boutique or wine store to get a bottle of wine. can you please explain this???

  • Yeah. Our first thought was that it was a $40 gimmick, but it does work quite well.

  • Wow, that's quite an impressive difference! It sounds as though it's living up to the hype... Well, time to order one for myself I think! Thanks for the info.

  • The Vinturi does work. We use it in the wine shop I work at up here in Wa. State. We've used it on $10 bottles and $100 dollar bottles. We've guessed that it take from a half hour to an hour off decanting time.

  • Petite Sirah is a completely different grape. One to check out is from Earthquake. Great wines from California.

  • is Petite Sirah the same as Petite Verdot, just different name? or is it two different varieties?

  • Another superb show Gary! Good to hear you've gone mobile with your comments section too.

    I have a quick wine gadget consumer question for you: what is your opinion on wine aerators?

    I've heard a lot of talk about the highly acclaimed "Vinturi", and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on it. Cheers.

  • The Jets made a great run this year!
