204 episodes in and i’m officially no longer a lurker! Originally stumbled across WLTV while looking for some information on Majella Sparkling Shiraz and found Gary’s video to be really engaging.

QOTD: I tried the Tolloy 06/07 (Alto Adige) Pinot Grigio at a wedding, it tasted so much of nutmeg but I couldn’t find anyone that agreed! Maybe it’s a flavour that is hard to recall, i mean the flavour was just unmistakeable to me.

Found the Baron Herzog Cabernet Jeunesse at $8.99 instead of $10.99 which is almost 20% off…

woohoo, finally some wines i can easily get my hands on. what a shame about the yarden – their wines are usually a pretty safe bet. any chance of some non-kosher israeli wines on the show?

Gary
I know this is an old thread but I was wondering what you think of the Domaine du Castel grand vin, specifically the 02 which was supposed to be a great year.
I had it a while ago and thought it was wonderful, but my friend (who was actually involved in making that wine) hates it. Though Rogov and others consider the castel to be the best israeli wine out there.
Also, the C blanc du castel is excellent as well.

Ok Gary, I’m finally commenting on the old post — I know you’ve been saying for a while that we should be sure to comment on the old posts as well, and I’m finally coming out of the lurker closet.

That being said, I bought a few bottles of the Concannon ‘04 petite sirah on your recommendation, being a big fan of Petite, and was absolutely blown away.

As for the kosher wines, I notice that WineLibrary doesn’t even carry anything by Hagafen in Napa. I know you don’t like the Napa cabs as a rule, but their wines are fabulous. I love the ‘02 cab, and they have a chardonnay that’s surprisingly unoaky and even drinkable to somebody like me who hates the smell of it. They also have some great reserves. Be sure to check it out.

[...] makes a topic I wouldn’t normally be interested in compelling.Â There’s even a whole episode devoted to kosher wines! And today I noticed that Cork’d, a niche social network for wine-lovers, was acquired by [...]

Oy Gary, any of these cool wristbands left?
Nice ep, esp. on the Herzog. In Germany halbtrocken (=semi sweet) reds are still common, mostly from Dornfelder and Portugieser. Often its junk, but then … sometimes, I have to admit wheezily, I like them, when I just don’t wanna think about what I’m drinking, and jus wanne drink on the porch outside, in the sun, without a coke, bit smth sweet, chilled and nice. Still have some Thanisch hb-t Dorns lying around. Try it, maybe a good alternative to the Herzog for your customers.
QOTD: a Freya Vandenbossche wine. Just an extremely dumb girly girl Flemisch poltician I can’t stand.

Shoot, scents that everyone thinks I’m crazy when I say them?! Tatami mats, sweaty martial arts clothing, boxing gloves (but that’s really like a baseball glove, isn’t it.) And my ex girlfriend. That’s about it.

QOTD: Ant-Hills,

Possibly an aroma that many others are familar with however the only way I can describe it is Ant-Hills…. The type of scent that ants secrete, a sharp acidic natural-chemically smell.

Love that “Orange Lipstick Granny”…
