QOTD-Don't remember, generally would not open a wine on NYE unless I knew it was good. <a href="http://www.winelx.com" rel="nofollow">www.winelx.com</a> Like D'arenberg, Marquis Philips (#9), have a bottle of Jasper Hill, have not had it yet (it's resting in the cellar).

I have tasted the 2006 and think it has some of the same characteristics. Have you tasted it, and compare it to the 2004?! Saw your review on the 2004 Rusden Rippier Creek.

Two wines came to mind. One was a Barbera that I can't even remember the name of. Tasted and smelled like corn smut. Also, served Bouvet Brut for NY on ship. Not good, soapy taste.

Bought 2 bottles at WL, decanted for 3 hours, but it tasted like vinegar. Way too acidic. Huge disappointment, but this is what the wine world is all about. 9 out of 10 people did not enjoy it. Way too peculiar. Don´t know what to do with the 2nd bottle... Quick question: when you say "these bottles have been open for 4 hours", it means you guys simply opened them or opened, decanted for 4 hours and put the juice back to the bottles using a funnel ? Thx and regards from Brazil !!! Worst was the 1997 Chateau Musar you tasted on the episode on Lebanon. Bought 2 bottles at WL, decanted for 3 hours, but it tasted like vinegar. Way too acidic.

QOTD I had a nasty Barolo that cost $98 at a restaurant: 1998 Brovia ca' mia. It was all ethyl acetate ie. nail polish remover-absolutely disgusting. Gary-I'd love it if you could explain ethyl acetate and what causes it. Sorry to be posting so late but I was in Connecticut for holidays with family and the internet was down so I fell way behind in my Vaynerchuck-viewing. Glad to be back in SF where the wine is always flowing and the internet access is always working! ~Rachel Wiener(chuck) Happy new year everybody!

I could barely believe how fast that junk went flat. Not pleasant at all. but I have a 2001 DeLille Cellars Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon that I have been saving for an occasion. If you are interested either DeLille Cellars (Chaleur Estate) or Matanzas Creek would make a great focus for an episode, they are both beautiful and amazing wineries that produce some quality vino. in health, Joel On the second of January, I shared in a bottle of Trader Joe’s Blanc de Blancs (Brut) it was like drinking sin, or just terrible tasting and smelling white wine, with a smidge of carbonation.
