I can eat that stuff by the barrel... Nice call on the Landmark! I have had later vintages and felt the same way. QOTD – My favorite flavor in a wine would have to be raw cacao!

Nice call on the Landmark! I have had later vintages and felt the same way.

Most recently, I really enjoyed the petrol character in this 96 german riesling I had last night. Gary, how about putting a vin jaune on the show for something new? qotd wow tough question. thats impossible to pick 1, or even 10.

Gary, how about putting a vin jaune on the show for something new?

Nice to expand palates, but nice to hit the center from time to time, as well. QOTD: For white, I like apricot. Especially in dessert white, but I also like when chardonnay or dry riesling has an apricot component, as well. For red, I don't know that there's only one. If I had to pick a single flavor component, I guess I'd go with vanilla. Not because I particularly like the flavor by iteself, but because it is one sign of a big red wine that has aged. I am much less a fan of astringent, biting wines, and vanilla always seems to be present in one form or another in wines that have had the time to mellow out. Great episode.

I love the nerd-factor and humor you bring time and time again. I could see you actually wrting like this if you ran a magazine. Nice notes on the Sleepy Holly, too. I will have to remember to check them out arund here and see what I can dig up. Love the Duggan references. He was always fun to watch even if he didnt have a lot of techincal skill or a good finishing move... Yes, I am calling out the clothesline! QOTD: Well being new to wines and of course going the sweet route to start with, I think I would have to go with peaches. Gary – Another great episode as always.

That's easy. Oak!! I like the oaky reds. Back in the 1990's I went shopping for my favorite reds from Sonoma and discovered that the prices were higher than I expected. The store people talked me into trying Chile and Australia. I wasn't familure with the concept of "fruit bomb" I just concluded that there was something desparately wrong with this wine and actually went off wine for about a decade. With your help I'm starting to figure out what I like and I even had a fruit bomb that I liked after 24 hours of breathing. It strikes me as odd that you put oak and fruity in the same category "new world". They're opposites on my liking scale. I'm watch the shows from episode one forward. I'm half way to the present.
