    I need to make a serious suggestion on the order in which you taste the wines…at least for the Italian ones, please taste the youngest ones first, then work up to the older ones, or taste them in order of alcohol content, lowest to highest. Just a suggestion to give the wines a fair chance.

    Whats this read head studio pierri azzardo thing? any more infos on this producer? I would like to taste this shiraz, but it seems like wine library is the only shop on earth which sells this wine?!?

    reading the comments about producer bonazzi i think it would be interesting to compare other (i.e. non-amarone) ‘appassimento’ wines from the veneto zone! masi has it’s ‘grandarella’, quintarelli has his ‘alzero’… im sure there are others!

    Gary, Fantastic. Bit slow with the first couple of bottles, but fantastic finish. The metaphors and imagery were great- just jumping out. Laughing out loud good.

    Taste this! I’d love to hear your opinion of it.

    Molnar Family Vineyards Pinot Noir. My newbie palate determined that it had ‘an old world nose with a new world flavor.’

    Keep up the great work!

    QOTD - Pick what you think has to the potential to be the most outstanding QPR red to be found at Wine Library.

    BTW, Maybe I missed this somewhere along the way, but what’s the countdown all about ???

    a couple of favorites.

    I found the comment by wineaddict interesting. Are there good non-alcohol wines?

    QOTD: Domaine La Barroche Chateauneuf-du-Pape Reserve. WL has the 2004. Either that or the Vieux Donjon CDP 2005. I’ve heard good things about both of these but would love to hear your opinion.

    I feel like Gary keeps a note pad next to his bed at night with quotes that pop into his head, like chubacka and his friends or something… and then unleashes them onto us. Maybe i’m wrong, but maybe i’m right - and only gary, and mrs. oakmonster know the truth. 3 wines for friday… Moccagatta bric balin barbaresco 2001, siduri van der kamp 2005 pinot noir, AAAANNNNDDDD ummmm, ummmm…. montes alpha cabernet - something readily available could be cool. (And G-man, if you do these wines, no that’s making it up to me ;) )

    You’ve really got to be in the right frame of mind for Amarones. By the way, you guy’s only have one ripassa/ripasso in stock! Always seem to be light on those.

    How about a Priorat? The cool thing would be one made from three kiick ass Rhone Producers?

    Something to seek out, and another one to add to the big Wine list of things to try.

    QOTD:
    Okay, Reds Reds Reds seems like that’s all you’ve been tasting lately and what others are asking you to try, how about doing some whites of odd sorts..

    How about something for the Non Alcohol Drinkers, they’re a lot of Vayniacs out there that can’t drink alcohol but enjoy watching your episodes and they need something to try.

    QOTD- Any mexican wine you can get, “Vino de Piedra” or “Icaro” are awesome; and do a spanish manchego cheese! “Flor de Esgueva” is great…

    Gary,

    What’s up with no show today? Come on, you got delayed flying commercial from SF to NYC? Shouldn’t you have your own Gulf Stream by now? I saw the Time article….$50mil (US Bones) a year in sales at Wine Library! Your killing it!

    QOTD: Back in Episode 79, you said Champagne is your favorite wine (I think you’ve claimed several others since, but who’s counting), so why not indulge at our expense:

    Krug Champagne 1995 - http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=7166

    Another option, I can buy $30, $40 wines and taste for myself. Do something I can’t buy right now - A 99-100 pt Parker - Chateau Rayas Chateauneuf Du Pape 1990 (http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=31445)

    Thanks Gary!

    So, wondering what the “brash, young retailer” was doing out there that made him have to blow off todays gig?

    Deaf ears in the IL state HR, man…or maybe just too much payola.
