    Almost a year late, but just watched the episode. Don’t know what I’m drinking tonight yet. Having a friend over that I deployed to Indonesia with for six months tonight. I’m making rack of lamb and he is bringing the wine. Looking forward to it.

    Just tried the 2000 Chat La Vieille Cure Fronsac along with a 2003 Châteauneuf du Pape Clos du Mont Olivet “Cuvee des Papet” last night. Both were a little fruity with soft tannins and low acidity. The Chateauneuf of course had a more layered herbal nose, but for almost half the price, the Vieille Cure was pretty good!

    nothing special, just a basic 2004 Sterling Vintner’s Collection Cabernet Sauvignon. Tastey though!

    QOTD- Last night I drank Braut & Sistra Cab Sonoma 2002.

    I am still in the first yers of drinking wine but am turned off just by the description of those Bordeaux wines. I tried the Chateau Cantelys that you raved about and thought it smelled like garbage and dirty feet. Maybe that was what they were going for but I thought it was gross. This might be a region that I need to stay away from which might be better for my wallet in the long run. Any that you could suggest that are a good blend between California and Bordeaux?

    “smells like dirty socks and laundry that has not been cleaned for 3 months???” No wonder why Henri Lurton will not sell you any ‘96 or ‘85 Brane Cantenac….!

    dirty sweaty socks. fungus, cellar floor. mustiness. Bordeaux.

    I am glad the world is chasing these attributes as I am finding the wines I love easier than ever. (hint; not Bordeaux).

    The Pavie family are so against the Bordeaux grain. The guy has California and American consumers on his mind.

    Good episode.

    Going for 1,000 comments? Great show on Bordeaux; I can’t wait until you open up the 2004/ 2005’s! What am I drinking tonight? A 2001 Artadi Vinas de Gain Rioja; it’s drinking well and it’s a great value. Just like Wine Library TV!
