Thanks for listening! We're always thrilled to hear that people like the show. We've said it before: we're committed to making a program that is so good, you want to keep coming back for more!

First time listener. Found my way here through 1winedude.com. Loved the interview with GV and I'll be back for sure. Adding this site to my blog roll.

This show was atypical in that we had a quiet "live" audience that night on the Talkshoe. We were all over the discussion, but the folks in the chat didn't seem particularly engaged. That's something we hope Dominic can help with going forward, since we'll have someone who can pay more attention to the chat than I can, per se.

Best show of the year!! That was a great combination of new blood, whirlwind energy and a class actl. Add a touch of sadness for the demise of the Radio Wine Club and you have a classic show . The new guy sounds like he may have some kung fu, good mic time with gary V, and one of my favorite past shows was the first interview with August Sebastiani and this show was over the top. The idea of John Burdick guest hosting once a month gives me goosebumps.

Sounds like someone got their punch peed in. Damn the man and let free speech rule, go down in a blaze of Kaz speak. You'll be heard forever on the internet, unless of course you do live in china or saudi arabia or turkey or chile not to mention the really messed up countries like myamar or north korea or... the list goes on. But speaking of chile I found a nice bottle of chilean carmenere, Botalcura Carmenere La Porfia "03. Carmenere, Cab Sav, malbec blend. Big wine, not too hot, Spicy, long finish, good price around $13.00. Great shows, by the way.

The game itself is really interesting. It will definitely demonstrate that it's easy to be reckless and even easier to be too conservative when trying to build a winery. The true challenge is finding the sweet spot where, as a winery owner, you grow just fast enough to prosper.

No kidding, it can definitely be used as an educational tool for people who may not entirely appreciate the challenges of being responsible for all winery operations.

Yeah, the COPIA site being sold certainly sounds promising; I'd be curious to know who the "interested parties" were. Might be time to check in with Lew Purdue...

The game is getting my creative juices flowing. I am buying a copy to see what I can come up with in the way of a learning experience for Constellation employees. Will keep you apprised...

BTW, Napa Register just reported that Copia may be out of bankruptcy proceedings and it sounds like there are a few interested parties in buying the assets, including the property. http://www.napavalleyregister.com/articles/2009...

Dude...another good show, kids!

Kaz's Dog Naming extravaganza:
1. Musty Nose: Must
2. Wet Dog: Corked
3. Vino: Vinny

Randall Grahm's Book:
I deserve the copy of his book because, while he's big on the pun, I truly find his writing a ton of fun and deserved of getting its time in the sun!

I need to win (or buy) Been Doon So Long! because I gotta know how he put the fun in wine, not like the sloppy drunk fun of say Night train or Thunderbird (sorry Gallo) but more cerebral artistic fun of say Sine Qua Non, because before there was art to enjoy there was zin to to indulge in. I need to know does the party continue.

Not really too creative, but I like "sur lie."
I suppose for AKC you could use something like: Fruity, full and fresh from Muscadet....

A few more dog names:

Sonoma Coastal Layer "Misty"
Barrel Heavy Toast "Char"

Listened to the show on the way into work this morning. Couple of items:

Going to the Randall Grahm tasting tonight; we are VERY MUCH looking forward to the opportunity. Good luck getting in Randall. Twin Cities are 30 degrees below average temperature and we were under a winter storm advisory. Should be about 60 degrees this time of year. Today 30 with 2 inches of the white stuff.

Dog name: In honor of Randall Grahm I'd recommend an AKC registered name "Rhone Ranger" with the callname being "Ranger". Doesn't Ranger just sound like a good dog name?

Cheers!

I think that listening this Wine biz Radio and drinking my Reislings wine with Partagas cigars is the best way to feel the real taste and joy. I would love to do this again and again whenever I will get an opportunity to do.

Because I read @RandallGrahm's essay in the wine and philosophy book and thought it was funny

Dog names - what a great Friday brain teaser.

#1 - AKC name: Central Valley Zinfandel
everyday: "Raisin"

#2 - AKC name: Carneros Overseed
everyday: "Clover"

To add a few details to the dog naming give away. I typically do a AKC name/callname pairing so the you have to think a little bit. A few examples:

Melchris Rapid Transit callname Bart (if you are in the Bay Area this is funny)
Lighthouse Pacific's First callname Traz (Alcatraz was the first Pacific Lighthouse)
Woodbine Kaboom Boss callname Rico (See the Madagascar DVD and the Penguin Christmas Special)

I'm trying to avoid callnames that being with R or T. A pattern in my naming of the last 4 dogs.

"Been Doon So Long"
My guess is it's a play on Been do in (doing it) so long.

Hi Randy & Kaz - the show is great, and I love the long format interviews. Maybe there could be some regular segments such as winemaker profiles, CIA chef interviews that specialize in food & wine, and other content to expand the consumer listenership?

Another aspect about this program that has always made me tune in - the dedication to what's happening in the wine industry *today* - it's extremely valuable, and keeps everybody "in the know."

Enjoy your labor day weekend!
