Gary, kudos!

Super episode. No gimmicks, videos or cute photos, but the best description you have ever given as to what many of us feel WLTV is all about. This is why many of us who have been into wine for many years, and participated in other internet communities, are here.

In my experience, bottle variation is a definite issue, and it extends to many large production wines from Europe. For a big birthday a while back we popped several cases of the same wine, one of the wines we served was a Spanish wine for under $10, another was a California white wine and the last was an Australian Shiraz. The California and the Australian wines were consistent, but the Spanish wine was a different wine from bottle to bottle, with different varietals taking the lead. At a blind pinot tasting a few months ago, two people brought the same wine, and no one even came close to picking that up. (They were hugely different due to storage)

Have a great weekend. I don’t follow golf, so I’ll pazzz on the prediction.

Nice Friday episode. My wife was talking about Barolo a few months ago, we asked at our local liquor store and the wine guy there had never heard of Barolo (small town). I ordered a 2001 Barolo featured on a past episode from Wine Library and have not opened it yet, I am trying to wait until 2008.

Oh yeah, I gotta get me some Prunotto. I make a rockin’ mushroom & red wine risotto. Maybe that is what I’d serve if I win the contest!

QOTD: Arnold Palmer will win with his celebratory shot! In other words, I have no idea….Mikelson, maybe?

TDP – I am still hung over too…but drinking all the good juice last night was worth every minute of head ache today!

Gary,

You need to give us the specs. on that cheese so we can try it!!!!
QOTD: Tiger is only 4 strokes back… how can we not say him? However, the brits want a masters win this year and they are fighting hard… I would have to give a nod to Justin Rose for the win. What do you think?..let me know.
