Ahhhh…so now we see where the black bucket came from. It’s fun to see the “old” gary. Oh, and (QOTD) the “BEST” cabernet I’ve ever had…..2001 Teachworth.

The most surprisingly awesome Cab I had was Cyrus 1998 Alexander Valley. It was in the cellar till summer of ‘06 and we tasted it with Justin Isosceles 1997 (95ws) and it kicked the Isosceles all over the place. Maybe it had something to do with the Cyrus being unfiltered but what a gem it was. I may have opened the wine at its very peak. Never had an experience quite like that with a bottl I payed $25 for. Keep-it-up Vay-ner-chuk!
Looking forward to see when they announce the date of the Steelers-Jets game.

Drool … wish we had something like WL over here.
QOTD: difficult, I not really into Cab. Sauv. (I like it though). Let’s go for OW then, because NW is hard to get. Mmm, 1990 Sociando-Mallet? Maybe yes.

Best Cab based ever would have to be the one that hooked me. 1959 Chateau Lafite Rothschild “Double Magnum” I was fortunate enough have this one at a family reunion about 12 years ago.

The best i have found in my price range however is the 1992 FERRARI-CARANO “TRESOR RESERVE”
I also really enjoyed the 1998 Leeuwin Estate “Art Series” Cabernet, but can’t seem to find them anymore. Gary thanks for everything and keep up the good work. Jtk

I’m a little late with this but…..Wow, some interesting LI bashing on this board. There are over 30 wineries on the east end of LI and sure, some are not so hot, but do yourself a favor and try a few others. Shinn is making great reds. Jamesport makes some great reds, whites and blends. And Channing Daughters and Wolffer, both on the South Fork, are 2 of the best wineries out there. Also try Lieb (whites), Macari and Roanoke. If you just go to the Pindar’s and Bedell’s you’ll be missing out.

Old World 1971 Leoville Las Cases by far.

new style 1999 Harlan the Maiden

Keep up the great comments.

Gary, another awesome episode. I have watched from the 1st (Verite) and you are now Humming with the show. I haved been going to WL since 1999, and it was interesting to reflect back on how small WL was then while watching you run through the place now. I have all my family and friends visiting WLTV now.

My best Cab experience was the 1978 Chateau Montelena Estate consumed in 2000. The longest strongest finish I have ever experienced. It was still youthful. Montelena must of loaded that wine with Stems and seeds back then for it to have so mcuh life after 22 years.

thanks for all you do for us.

New World:
JP Insignia - all good, but best I have tasted so far is 1991. I have newer vintages in my collection, but I like to wait till they are really ready to drink.
Old World:
Pichon Longueville - Lalande. 1989 is the only one I have tasted, though I have other vintages in my collection.

gary,
how do you have a ny episode without finger lakes rieslings? I know you have some Dr. Frank’s rieslings in stock, and you used to have a wiemer riesling in stock. Hopefully you are just waiting until you have a better selection of finger lakes wines before you feature them in an episode?
also, I hope you include a dominus in your cab tasting because it seems like a high-end wine that the critics (rp and laube of spectator) have been dramatically split on for recent vintages.
-thanks

I love Cabernet Sauvignon (and Cab-based) wine. While I have enjoyed several outstanding ones from all over the world, the one that stands out in my mind was the 1997 La Sirena from California. My wife and I drank it in 1995 (6 years in bottle) and it showed lush black currant fruit, lightly toasted oak, sweet spice and minerality and ripe tannins. A well balanced wine!
