QOTD: we do not have a MD this weekend in germany – so I have to seek out what my cousin serves on his wedding.

Thanks for showing a picture of my Boyz!

1975 ROCKS

QOTD: Not sure but a Langwerth Spatlese and Downing Cab are in play.

QOTD: I have one bottle left of 1988 Langoa Barton. Not after this weekend. 1988, how fitting as I’m typing this Tesla is on the Radio. Long live the metal years.

Gary-
Great Ep !!!!!
QOTD:
Trying to drink more whites!!
Meerlust Chard.

This Weekend

Maybe I’ll pop a ’99 Louis Martini, Monte Rosso Estate cab
Or of of several Chateau Neuf Du Papes,
What about a big Carlo Rossi?
To that I give no props.

Prosecco, Verdiccio and Bellini too,
Should start to satisfy the crew,
Remember to save room
-For Bratwurst and brew,
Or Chateau Pipeau

In the mix of it all,
Remember what Gary said
Live well, be healthy
Realize we’re fortunate

GV the 1975 looks interesting, I wonder if there’s any at WL? what do you think?

QOTD some Opie on another wine board suggested opening something 1995 and older, so I’m seriously thinking of opening a 1995 Martin Ray DM, should be real nice with ribeyes. Will also open some Moscato d’Asti, since my wife loves the stuff.

Enjoy the holiday Gary and gang!!

Too bad about that oak monster. I find that the more my nose and palate are refined, the more the oak monster makes me literally sick to my stomach. That never used to happen when I first started getting into wine. It’s kind of annoying.

QOTD: since there’s no memorial day in France, I’ll probably just be drinking the local cab franc as usual.

I’m Sept. 12, 1975!!!! Whoo-hoo!!! What a great year.
QOTD: Hmmm, that all depends. I may be taking a recommendation of YOURS. 🙂 We aren’t grilling at home or anything, though, and might head out to Malibu for the day Monday, so I may be having seafood and beer for this holiday!! Don’t hate me. 🙂

QOTD
Cuvaison Chardonay
Rombauer Chardonay

Not sure if I will have any reds since this is the Holiday that we think of Summer is around the corner.

Nice episode. I have some of the Cinq Cepage ’02 I have been really looking forward to. But not this weekend. Beer and good tequila for me. A Memorial Day tradition!

QOTD: toss up between caipirihna’s or margaritas…..although with the grilling my Match Vineyard Butterdragon Hill Cab is sounding awfully tempting.

Please send me a wristband baby!

Great episode! Nov. 24 /75 here man! I’ll have to seek that bottle out now for sure. This officially de-lurks me to btw 😛 Been watching for some time, keep them coming!!

What will I be drinking… I can forsee some Margarita’s and perhaps a bottle of white (trying to explore more whites) if the wife sais it’s in the budget. This wine tasting hobby can get pricy hehe.

Hey Gary,

Action figures are cool, but when are you going to get a real ol’ skool wrestler to sit in and co-host? Who’s into wine? Captain Lou? Hogan? JYD? Jesse the Body?

Nice ep Gary!!

QOTD: Umm, let’s see, several Corona Lights, a few margaritas, maybe some rum by the pool and of course wine.

Memorial Day. Start of summer. Summer of the rosé. Some nice Tavel or Domaines Ott rosé this weekend (and probably every subsequent weekend).

Sad to hear about the Cinq Cepages. I have an ’01 that I got in the (atrocious) PA state store. Was looking forward to it, now not so sure.

Hey Gary, how far are you guys from Philly? Road trip!!!

QOTD: Starting it off with a dry gin martini, then go to some New Zealand SB and probably finish with a red from Argentina. And then I may do them all over again in reverse order while gripping cold porcelain.

I’m working my way through the other Red Grape varieties and am still jaded by too much single-varietal Cab-Sauv early on. I haven’t tried any for a while and only have 5 in the cellar, with just one Californian, Jekel Vineyards 2003.

QOTD – It’s not Memorial day in the UK (we have our equivalent in November to mark the end of WWI) but it is a Holiday Monday so wine will be consumed. Not sure yet exactly what, but most likely a Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, El Quintanal.

How about a wrist band?? Thanks!

Good start to the long weekend.

QOTD: My wife is sitting here telling me that we are having ribs with a cranberry-orange glaze for dinner on Memorial Day. I am thinking that we will open a Ridge Zinfandel to go with that. So what are you going to be drinking, Gary? 🙂

QOTD- Probably Sunday Mountain Sauv Blanc (thanks for the rec. Gary- very good stuff) with the appetizers and 2003 Carlisle Zin with the steaks.

Thanks for trying the Cal Cabs Gary, but nothing very interesting.

QOTD – 2005 Bitch Grenache – yum!!!

Don’t say Cali!!! It’s Cal-i-for-nia.
