I can’t believe that little wine-gremlin has such control over me that I actually went to some site and voted for which dude I thought was best-looking. If the boys at work find out about this I’m doomed…

QOTD: Beef Jerky time!

Gary- St-Emilion has always been the fave in our house. Something about the merlot/cab franc combo.

QOTD- Wisconsin sharp cheddar cheese and salted cashew nuts.

It’s a close race between kettle cooked jalepeno chips and sharp provolone or manchego and dried meats. I only say that because i can make a meal out of the cheese and meats.

Thanks for the ep, Gary! As a Bordeaux newbie, anything you can tell us to demystify this region is much appreciated! Will definitely seek out the Chateau Larmande!

QOTD: Cheese & fruit (good, sharp cheddar w/ apples, blue cheese w/ pears, etc) – or, if I’m spending an evening watching junky TV & really want to go all out, tortilla chips w/ Tostito’s salsa con queso (gotta love that fake orange cheese color – YUM!)

Question for you (or for any other commenters): I have a 2000 St Emilion Grand Cru (Prier des Jacobins) that I got as a gift. When should I open it? If I open it now, how long to decant?

Thanks!

OH SNAPS you done brought it out didn’t you! Favorite snack? Oh shoot. Well let me break it down internationally for all you heads back home. Jyaga riko, that’s right. It’s a little potato stick, chippy, mixed salad flavored, crunchy, addicting snacks over here in Japan. Also, Triscuits (Original, what’s up with low sodium and thin and wedgey crap…no sir, only the big ol’ fat, cut your mouth up with the hard edges, dehydrate your whole body with one cracker style). Triscuits and Sauternes. How about that for a pairing? You know you all love it!
OK so who wants some jyaga riko, triscuits and sauternes?

Best snack.. Extra sharp cheddar,, the aged crumbly kind, with Stoned Wheat Thins.
how was London? Also lets put things in perspective. At $37 its certainly not expensive for good bordeaux,, but any wine over $30 dollars a bottle should be somethin at least slightly special..
Hey, were not all millionaires, so for us regular joes, this is a pricey bottle.. and should be considered a special occasion wine.

QOTD: Been eating Jelly Belly jelly beans lately as a cheap way to try to work on my wine palate. It’s a great way to try to pick out odd flavors and train yourself to analyze what your mouth is telling you, especially when you just grab 3 random beans and pop ‘em in your mouth.

QOTD: popcorn. I’ll even eat it with a glass of merlot. Two things I love. . . so they don’t taste too great together.
I still like ‘em.

G-Man-
first off, nice ep. i really like the st. emilion wines and find that at comparable prices they are ready sooner than the left bank bordeauxs. so i like buying them at wine shops or off lists more than the left bank guys. although their classification is not as reliable as the 1855 one in my opinion.

QOD1: first off tell eric great call on the spot under pressure for full metal jacket. the first half of that movie is the best 45 minutes of any movie i have ever seen. after that, it kind of falls apart. I would add Saving Private Ryan to that list.

QOD2: dried fruit (blackberries, cherries, cranberries, apricots, blueberries, and strawberries) and nuts (almonds, m and ms, walnuts, pistachio). I like making my own blends instead of buying the ones the markets have. that way i don’t need to remove any of the stuff i don’t like.
