    Yes on the free shipping.
    But Gary is there anyway you could
    make the boxes look like something
    other than wine.” No honey this isn’t
    more wine.. These are those business
    books I was waiting for..” follow me.

    Great show I give it a 90 plus.

    I love the free shipping and take advantage of it frequently. Free shipping and NO 8.25% Texas Sales Tax! That I love.

    Free shipping makes me feel guilty. I live so close. So how about you give me free shipping, and I give it back to you in exchange for…. MORE WINE!!!! I like that. Do you?

    Looking forward to the tasting on Saturday!!! Yippee! I’ll be the one with the happy grin. Okay, one of the ones with the happy grins.

    I am saddened by this episode. Having not tasted the WOTY…ever…since I don’t spend 200 dollars to point chase wines, I was hoping that this would be a typical Brunello, exposing the world to an interesting and traditional region, and expanding the minds of the robotic sheep-like American drinking public. I apparently am wrong. How sad that everything that scores well tastes like alcoholic fruit juice. How very sad. I see the change, even in France, every time I go. The wines are loosing their typicity, their “terroir”, their character. But the thing is, its not just the wine. Its the buildings, the restaurants, the food, the people, the popular culture. The world is becoming more and more bland and uninteresting. Why pay 1000 dollars for a plane ticket to experience something different, a different culture, when you get there to discover basically what you left 5000 miles away. Just a horrible thought, but inevitable in my opinion.

    Don’t need to answer what 5+5-5-5 is because I already have muh shirt, but the ComQOTD sounds great…free shipping ALWAYS sounds great per cpmment #16 from Tampa Steve.

    good point Neil (comm. #44)

    do you want Ranch or Bleu Cheese with your 91 pt. jockstrap salad?

    Community QOTD: Yes on the free shipping. Locals should get no tax?

    Does WineLibrary have a “Fruit bomb” label. If I search WineLibrary, will it match. I really like fruit bombs at this point in my wine drinking life and would like to find them easily (guess I’m lazy, too.)

    I think that the other side of Italy making Over Extracted wines and super ultra juicy start to fade slowly…….( I hope so )
    Viva les Traditionalists !!!

    Hurray !

    Yes on the free shipping. Though now I have to ship to my parents house 5 hours away…which sucks. I wish we could change the wine world to allow for shipping to Georgia.

    Still sad in the ATL.

    QOTD: YES indeed – free shipping is good anytime! :-)

    QOTD: Free shipping, yes!

    New World vs. Old World – the golden rule applies here: silver & gold.

    5+5-5-5= 0

    Regarding the 91 rating for Ch Lynch Bages: how can a nose of used jockstrap with salad garner a 91 rating? Perhaps this effort is better off in a blizzard tasting like yesterday.

    Enjoy the show!

    Enjoyable show as always. I don’t think that all wine will eventually taste the same since different people tend to exhibit different preferences. For example, when you rate a wine you address people that like “old world” or “new world” characteristics. As long as people exhibit a distribution of preferences, wines should remain heterogeneous.

    CQOTD: free shipping would rule.

    QOTD: Enough with the free shipping! That’s always the prize. How ’bout something for us locals instead!

    Athletic Challenge: Gary — you won’t get a game off me in tennis. (Although you probably can kill me on the b-ball court).

    How about a WLTV Softball team? There’s got to be a local league we can get in this summer?

    Thanks GV – I hope your “nards” have thawed.

    You’ve done “vertical tastings”, but this summer, you must complete the “thermal tasting”…
    try the same three wines while standing on an hot-asphalt roof in Phoenix in mid-July.

    enjoy London… the fish and chips suck there, by the way.

    I love the Community Question of the Day idea, just don’t let TampaCheapskate get in first again!

    Gary- I agree with #33 because I think there is at least some Old World in everyone. I understand your concern, however, as it seems there are fruit bombs in every price range. I’ve had the Mollydooker Boxer, Tunnel of Love and Two Left Feet and all our over-the-top bombs and fun to drink.

    ComQOTD- Yes

    CQOTD – Uhhhh…. Ab-so-friggin-lutely!!

    5+5-5-5= a big fat zero that is way too late…

    BP…did I tell you the weather in FL is lovely at this time of the year…lolol

    My psychic told me today told me that there is a little something Bordeaux special on it’s way with a bit of age and in EVERYBODY’S price range……

    I vote Yes on the QOTD, only if TampaSteve agrees to stop complaining for at least 2 months! Otherwise he has to retroactively pay for anything he ships. LOL!

    zero!

    The concept is good, but :P on the free shipping or come up with an alternative for us locals. I am tempted with the Le Gay if it just wasn’t for that name!!! I like the fact that there are these old Chats reinventing themselves tho… how does it compare to Lascombe?

    Great follow up to yesterday, glad you came through and gave us some control tastings! How many hits did you guys get yesterday, more than #148?

    It’s bad news that wines are all heading toward one direction, but it will get better. The pendulum will eventually swing toward the other end. As consumers become more expereinced, they will want more exposure to it and whoever is still around providing it, will make a killing.

    I was intrigued with the Le Gay until you compared it with Justin Timberlake.

    Chat Lynch smells like salad in a jockstrap. . . . classic. I won’t be buying it, but classic.
