QOTD: My VERY favorite….the ‘67 Mustang I had my first date in. I can still hear that car a half mile away on its way to pick me up. Today, I don’t have the car, but I married the guy who drove it!!

QOTD: The 80â€™s St. Louis Cardinals with the baby blue uniforms Ozzie, Willie, Her, Oquendo, and manager Whitey Herzog. Now that was an old school baseball team.

Long time waiting for an ep like this. Great. My fingers go itchy for the Groffier. It’s way above my budget, but just your discription made my mouth water (I am just awake btw – watching you with a mug of coffee). Was Mothy in this bottle?
QOTD: favourite? Difficult to say. So much I love about old world. Maybe it’s hot chalkiness. Some wines, especially some well made traditional Sicilian whites can just taste like a hot chalky boulder in the middle of an olive yard, with crickets chirruping in the scorches grass surrounding it and some chunky lemons squashed on it. They just carry the smell of the sun. Gorgeous.

Way to show us that good Bordeaux is still rediculously expensive, woot. Otherwise, good ep. Love ‘em nice and stinky.

QOD: Who can forget Voltron? That show owned me most of the 80s. Topps baseball cards. With the waxy, hard piece of gum inside.

QOTD: When me, TJ, and G-Dubs would knock back some madeira and ‘87 d’Yquem (… that’s 1787). If only I’d saved a few bottles with Tommy’s initials etched on ‘em. Sally kept whisking them away.

Gotta love the contrast.. Big fan of salty sweet. Like salted peanuts on ice cream or potato chips on cheese cake (try it)…

What, nobody’s mentioned those ’60s-era Jets uniforms? Like, none more old school than that.

Old world wines!!!! I’m a fan – great episode, GV – I WILL seek out some of these wines. Red radishes were quite popular in my childhood, in the north – my mom still grows them in her garden every summer. We get beautiful radishes most of the year here (way way up north) in the grocery stores as well.

QOTD- Steak tartar made fresh at your table in a wooden bowl by a team of servers in a Romanesque, very expensive steak joint – picture mirrored paneled walls, big chairs, plush silence – think JR Ewing, old school enough for you?

QOTD – A Team, Super Mario Bros and white high tops.

QOTD: Pre-cable TV, when there were 3 networks, and I’d memorize the whole schedule.

QOTD- Football players who just drop the ball in the end zone when they score. Like they’ve been there before and will be there again soon. Like Don Maynard, Johnny Morris, Max Magee.

Parker’s last tasting of the Suduiraut was in 1994. 13 years can do a whole lot it seems.

QOTD: Watches … while a $20 Swatch will keep more accurate time than most $10,000 mechanical watches you have to be impressed with something so small built with hundreds of tiny gears, screws, springs, etc. and they run without a battery.

Love the old school review and pulling out some older wines – 2001, 2000 and 1990! Love to drink some wine with a little age – if the wine can take it, it always adds different flavors – however, not sure I’d be looking to throw down $140 on a wine with a bouquet as you described for the Bonnes Mares.

Alsace truely is old school – when my wife and I vistied there, you see wine producers (Hugel, Trimbach, etc.) that have been making wine since the 1600’s.

QOTD: Gotta love the old school price of the Suduiraut – $33 for a 1/2 bottle of a 17 year old wine. Don’t think it could’ve been a whole lot more than that when it was released. Too many things way overpriced these days on release (just wish a had bought a bunch more stuff way back when).
