    Quite clear at this point that youre feeling the alcohol and the fatigue… But still bringing the humor! Love it! QOTD: I havent drank a lot of old world style of wines, so by default Im a bomb.

    QOTD - I guess I’m a dirty bomb too!

    Time & place for everything. Props for mentioning the Pillar Box Red, currently my pick for best QPR in the new-world fruit-bomb world.

    That said I had a nice inexpensive Cotes-du-Rhone with dinner tonight (Paul Jaboulet Aines Parallele 45 ‘06). Drinking dirty & loving it. Time & place man, time & place.

    Cheers!

    Gary,

    I went looking for the Villacreces (WL was out) and found 4 bottles for $24, Once I have had a chance to give it a taste, I will post back with some feedback.

    Thanks for the heads-up.

    How the heck did you get through all of those. Hopefully someone drove you home.

    QOTD: I think I’m in the middle. Dirty Bomb

    Way to go, Gary! I wasn’t sure if you would make it through all of the episodes. Thanks for sacrificing your day for us. We really do appreciate it. And they were all very good shows. A shame about the 2003 Villacreces since it was supposed to be the 2004. So I went and just ordered a case of the 2004.

    QOTD: Dirty Bomb, dude! (Maybe a tad more Dirt than Bomb?)

    Hmm how about a blackcat firecracker encased in some fresh loam. Not too dirty and not too bomb

    Picked up a 6 pack of the Villacreces 03 and I’d have to politely disagree with your 94 pts. It was good to start but after 30 minutes, it got disjointed.
    Does not have the lasting power of the dominus. Compared to the dominus I’d stick this around 88. Keep up the cool show!!

    QOTD: GV……I am the dirty bomb…tasted the Jeorge Ordonez profile yesterday. It was Re-donk-ulous! I had to literally sit down with the 2004 Clio and sort out my mind…great show.

    Dirty, as in back to mother nature. Like the kind of thing that goes well with a charred filet mignon!

    QOTD: Dirty but once in a great, great while in the mood for bomb!

    I can’t believe you’re still tasting. Nice job and thanks again for going the extra mile.

    You know it’s the sugar that’s the issue not the fruit. I guess I would be a Dirty B. as those fruit bombs (though tasty) tend to give me migraines. I tend to go for the dirt. Herbs and vegetables.
    Thanks also for bringing up “manipulation”. Yeah the “chemist monster” is a big turn off. I like the surprise of earth and weather rather that what they can do in the lab.

    Dirty bomb Fco. coming through! (That sounds like it should be bleeped out). But in all I consider myself lucky. I have friends very into old world wines and others that are very open minded. So I kept an open mind myself. I think, like you say, there is a time for each sort of wine and I am able to appreciate the differences….except I am new to the game so that could also say that I do not know what the eff I am talking about.
