    QOD: the wristbands because they are free… I already spend a small fortune at WL. I need a frequent buyer’s card to collect points or something!!! Besides it’s t-shirt or try another bottle of wine Gary recommends… guess which wins :)

    Josh - that wasn’t a mohawk, it was a fauxhawk, but it was a good one. You’re right - I’ve never had any of these three wines. Do you think it would be possible to put a list of all grape varietals on the site somewhere or a link to a place where such a list exists on another site. The Tannat sounds crazy, but for $36 I don’t think I can take the plunge. Can you find us another Tannat about half that price that is just as good - there’s a challenge for you!

    Nice episode. Actually, I’ve had Arneis and really liked it. I’ve had Tannat in a blend (Cahors?) but this one really intrigues me. I’ve never had the Black Muscat (or whatever it is called) :-)

    QOTD: Favorite schwag? Gotta be the original Vayniac Tee-Shirt!!

    Tannat, nicely done and much love for the Monterey area.

    Question de la dia: Who can F with the Oak Monster? Anyone?

    QOTD: I really like the red WLTV shirts. Very cool design and logo. Unfortunately, when I went to order, Maryland doesn’t show up as an option to ship to. :( Maybe I’m doing something wrong… If I have to talk about schwag I have in possession, has to be the very cool wristband.

    Left a comment on iTunes for ya. And you’ve been dugg.

    I’m so late commenting this so perhaps it is not even worth mentioning the best dessertwine there is.
    Gary, I’m sure you would absolutely adore the Ben Ryé Passito de pantelleria, from Donnafugata (”an estate with a jazz rythm”! http://www.donnafugata.it/). You know Pantelleria, this tiny island halfway between sicily and Tunisia. Wine made of zibbibo, their own clone of muscat d’alexandrie.

    Oh by the way, i’m just a happy consumer
    Come on, lets share a wine experience.

    I’ve had the Arneis at a tasting, and enjoyed it a lot. I figure seafood, sushi or vegetarian, so I bought a bunch. Have it a little chilled, which makes it shine.

    I’ve got the wristband, so I’ve got to find the right time and place…

    Gary, I loved the review on the tannat based wine and I will be buying one on my next visit to WL (HUGE drak cholocate lover here, goes great with a nice bourbon). I did have one question, you mentioned later in the episode that Armagnac is made from tannat grapes. I know Armagnac is typically made from the same grapes as cognac, but from the Armagnac region of France. I have never heard of the tannat grape being used for production of Armagnac. Mostly ugni blanc, colombard, folle blanche, and bacco 22-A. Maybe it’s an approved varietal in Armagnac, but I don’t think it’s very prominent.

    It’s way easier to leave comments now, thanks Gary and team! Trying to ruin my lurker status by leaving more comments:

    You send me a wristband, I’ll totally send you a picture :) Heck, I’ll send ya one if you’re out even!

    Been a while since we’ve seen a compilation of pics, I’ll bet people still aren’t sending them.

    Just got back from Spain. Cool to see $.50 table wine there, and then drink $6 Albarino and get blown away.

    I had a Ch Bouscasse Madiran 2000 wow the wine was soooo young and mean not a nice bottle. tannat is jaw buster… visited Rosenblum last feb. did try the black muscat in the tasting room. wine was o.k. I found it lost in the world of dessert wines. loved the people at Rosenblum what a turnaround from napa love the zins maybe over the top to some.

    QOTD … I have recived any schwag….yet…!

    I gotta dig the wrist band. it’s the only thing that i have, so far. it really brings people together. what thats it. youre bringing the wine world together.

    over the years have you been more and more dissapointed in the rosenblum label? that is a decent wine though.
