QOTD: I was recommended to this site by a worker at Champanes wine cellar in Michigan. Once I realized what a great learning tool this was, I spent most of my free time getting caught up with past episodes. I have shared the site with about 4 of my good friends that are into wine.

What happened to this glass? Did the Riedel people give you the shaft?

GV,
I heard about this place 3 days ago from YouTube, while looking for wine tasting videos.

I told my youngest sister about it yesterday.

She’s the only one in my family as into wines as I am.

Also, I’ll probably tell my mom and other sisters, just because they seem to worship Silver Oak and GV has some less than stellar reviews about it.

Not sure how I missed that you’d already done this (so go right on ignoring my facebook message; must be I searched on “wolftrap” and not “wolf trap”), but I’m pleased to see that you adored the Wolf Trap as much as I did. I rang it up as a 88 without giving any ‘brownie points’ for QPR. If there was some possibility that this wine would lay down for a few years, I can see upping it a point or two, but as much as I wanted to drop the 89 or 90 on this, I couldn’t go that far.

Gary — (friended you on FB a few days ago) — I just had the Wolf Trap last night (didn’t get through you guys, but you’re even cheaper!!!), and wow. Just wow. When I first opened it the nose was berries (the type, I couldn’t tell), rolled in white pepper, but on day 2, it softened to bacon. Finish was a little hot at first, but that softened too. Absolutely a great bottle, I also rated 89.5, and then saw your review, and I feel pretty good that you felt about the same. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

Gary,I have to believe many wines are fake. When I smell or taste obvious vanilla (or is it vanillin) in wine it has become a turnoff. So many low priced wines have this dominant flaw because the actual wine has no character. Hi end wines with this taste(smell)are Silver Oak and Clio to name a couple. Fast food has flavorings to make every restaurant in a chain taste the same, wine seems to be folowing this trend. One thing I used to do to make bad wines drinkable is to blend a low acid, sweet ca. cab. with a high acid, tart Italian wine to sort of end up with a super Tuscan under $8. Thanks for your show Gary, I’m hooked!

I was actually watching youtube.com looking for reviews of Rothschild wine, and was thrown off by the spitting of wine but decided to give the show another chance and I am addicted to it! I love this show. As a person who is just getting started collecting wine, i find the information invaluable. I have told the people at work who sometimes watch the show with me.
