qotd: how do you pick 1, how do you pick just 100? My fav at the moment would be Jean Bourdy. Because I’ve heard amazing things about his wines, they are not easy to get, and after a VERY long time of looking, I got a vin jaune, and his is supposed to be the best.
Love that you are tasting wines from you’re library. I hope that that is not an alwayd absolute however. That seems like imposing limitations on yourself with all the 1000′s of wines out there.
So Gary, how about tackling a vin jaune episode?, and on eon tasting different charbono’s?

QOTD: Gotta be Trefethen, appropriately enough, given the episode. I generally like Trefethen wines, but the reason I like the winery was because the people there were so nice. We were the only ones there, so they took us on a guided mini-tour. They had a basil garden out front and we were just chatting about how much we like making our own pesto and how nice it would be to have a big plot of basil like that instead of a tiny little box on our deck. So they told us to go pick as much as we wanted. Super friendly people.

Honorable mention to Sebastiani vineyards in the Sonoma valley. The carved casks are gorgeous.

Favorite Winery: Messina Hof. Why? I am a die-hard Aggie, I bleed maroon, and this winery is in Bryan/College Station TX (Aggieland). I would love to see you do a show on Messina Hof wines. Maybe even a show on Texas wines.
