While the personal stories can be fun I would like to see more talk about the wines. I want to know about the notes and everyones opinions. Some wines we hear nothing about. I thought the purpose of the show was to educate about wine? I feel like I am left hanging at the end of each show.

I agree with the previous comment. Sure, create that sense of table talk but don’t lose focus on the wine; that’s why I’m watching.

the third wine was the winner for 20 bucks, but did not catch the label info. It was a 2003 Rioja. Please provide the vineyard. I am anxious to pick up a bottle
thank you.
