I agree Gary, and I hope that wines stay true to their roots, and not all start tasting the same.

a wine that tastes really unique you havent had on yet would be a vin jaune

i’ll kick joey’s ass at bowling…hehe. I’m with you gary, I hate that wines from all regions are starting to taste the same. I’m a huge lover of wines such as brunello and it pisses me off when i drop $75 on one and it tastes like a freaking shiraz fruit bomb. When a wine is made well it can retain its terroir and still have profound jammy fruit. Keep up the great work.

Yo, I’m in Japan so how about a WLTV Ninja league? After a “match” who’s ever left living will get a case of wine or “something”. Shoot, that’s a “fantastic” idea. I feel ya on the all wines moving to the same taste tip. But homie, oh don’t you dismay cuz there are tons of heads like all us Vay to the Niacs that are down for trying different tastes. We’re the new generation (well at least the coolest part of the new generation) of wine drinker that will change the market. Right now everyone has a woody for oakyfruityvanillyfruityfruitfruity in a bottle so all the winemakers hop on the band wagon. So, you get a bunch of homogeneous wines that please the masses for a while but in the meantime the “cooler generation” starts drinking wine from India, China, Texas, my mom’s bathtub and all these interesting places and we can put those places on the map. Two hopes I have for the wine world: more organic/biodynamic/ecofriendly wines and fewer people insisting to drink wine with food that really is made for beer. Wine and french fries…nope! Wine and fried chicken, c’mon.

Sign me up for hoops!!!!!! I can play point guard or shooting guard and can be a shut down defender on whoever is the hot hand on the Total Wine team. Is it just a wine store leagu or will we play the 7-11 guys as well? I will be there with bells on. Let me know about tryouts.

Sensei,

You kind went off track on the Casanova di Neri and did not give it your rating? I am sure your not going to agree with WS if you do not think it tastes like a true Brunello, but still curious what score you would give it? My Sweetheart bought me three bottles of the 2001 Casanova for Valentines Day. (god I love that women!)I am pretty excited about owning them and putting them into my collection. You sounded like it was a very good wine with great flavors and silky?? Can you also give me your opinion on how long I should wait before popping one of these?
