QOTD: Hey Gary, just thought i’d call you out on checking new comments on old episodes, if so please try Leitz (Rudesheim-er) Riesling Trocken and/or De Martino (Maule Valley) Single Vineyard Malbec. You’ve got a few months before i’ll have caught up to the current shows!

That episode was totally worth it just for that last wine! This is why I watch WLTV.

i can drink amarone all my life!!!!!!!!!!!it’s a pity we don’t have such a wide range of them in london;too much australia,newzealand and south africa going on heretely la!!no offence,but maybe merchants need to keep it old school(world) as well!or they don’t wanna make losses on the huge amount of ‘corked’ wines customers send back,so they opt for screw top!!btw gary,i wish u could do an episode on this “corked/not corked” jazz,it’s amazing how people love it here!!

Gary, I just got back from Valpolicella (Carlo Boscaini) where they make excellent Amarone. You’re right, the alchohol content is off the roof but I like it. The Tommasis, there’s also Masi BTW, Alegrinis are very expensive Amarones. You can definitely get those in Valpolicella for 18 Euro from small unknown wineries and beats the living crap of the big timers. In the US, popularity brings money but in Italy quality is numbero uno.

Loved watching this Amarone episode. Im relatively new to wine and started reading the book…its awesome by the way….and oddly enough had an epiphany with the Masi Amarone as well. Great stuff…keep up the great work.

Another 0-4 day? Ouch… at least you wernt totally down by the end of the episode. QOTD: A year too late, but I wouldnt mind you opening a bottle of Petrus. Id really like to see the tasting notes on such a rare and highly reguarded wine.

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.
