    The last two wines I had was Red Flyer 2003 California Red Table Wine and 2003 Rosemount Estate Mudgee Hill of Gold Cabernet. Really like the inexpensive wine shows. We should get real crazy and do a box wine show.

    QOTD: Last two wines I had: 1) ‘05 Enguera Dis Tinto (50% tempranillo, 50% Syrah) – surprisingly yummmmy; and 2) ‘05 Altano Douro – simply maaahvellous, my dear! Spain & Portugal are seriously kicking butt…and they’re most affordable, too!

    QOTD:1. 2005 – Domaine de la Garrigue “Cuvee Romaine”, Cotes du Rhone
    Pazzzzzzz! Thin, bitter tannins, the type of wine that (to me) gives grenache a bad name.

    2. 2005 – Lirac Alain Jaume “Clos de Sixte”, Rhone
    Very nice and I think it will be even better in 2-3 years

    QOTD: 2004 Pio Cesare Barbera D’Alba and 2004 Carmen Reserve Carmenere-Cabernet.

    QOTD: 2005 Winery at LaGrange Meritage (Virginia), 2005 Chateau du Gris (Bordeaux). The VA wine was actually better than the Bordeaux but it better be for the price point.

    Forgot to tell you yesterday that I loved the Lurker T. I’ll have to get a bunch for all the folks I know who are lurkers. Did I miss something about why you’re not rating wines this week? It was obvious you were in a much better mood.

    Maybe you have been influenced by Hollywood you over extracted pinot man!

    QOTD: 2001 Ruffino Tan Label Chianti & 2003 Pacific Estates Petite Sirah Paso Robles

    Hey Gary,

    I have to ask – after swallowing that much gum do you blow bubbles when you fart? (sorry for that).

    Congrats on Ellen.

    Glad to hear us small order Vayniac cab customers have a shot at the blending!!

    QOTD –

    2004 Plum Creek Riesling from Colorado. You should see about getting wine from this producer. Fooled everyone at a blind tasting who thought is was a Mosel riesling. Bought it in Winter Park, CO. Really nice.

    1998 Teo Costa Monroj Barolo

    Thanks for doing the budget wines this week – those of us who don’t have expense accounts (i.e. the self-employed) really appreciate it! Not that I don’t like to splurge once in a while…

    QOTD: Tegernseerhof 2006 Zweigelt Rose (from Kremstal, Austria) and Ipsum 2006 from Rueda, Spain (60% Verdejo, 40% Viura) – both were new varietals for me – yay for exploration!

    Unfortunately, nothing in the last few days – have a nasty cold which prevents me from smelling much of anything…

    What i had tonight probably doesn’t count:

    2006 Allagash Brewery Musette Oak Aged Ale

    so the last 2 wines are:

    2004 Dos Cabezas Wine Works La Montana
    2004 Francois Cazin Cour-Cheverny Cuvee Renaissance

    QOTD – I’ll give you the last three
    Strub NB Kabinett 2005 – rich, peachy, but not enough acidity to cover the sweetness
    Vionta Albarino 2006 – Crisp, but with weight on the mouthfeel, without the oakiness. Has a slight bitter nut skin flavor. Good deviation from the standard whites.
    Bogle RRV Pinot 2005 – Pop & pour. Average, not bad, not that smooth, kind of thin. Not up to the hype. Maybe would have improved with air.

    tomorrow – making a Thai dinner, having Christoffel UW Spatlese 2005. That will be some good stuff!

    “Not atrocious” – high praise indeed. Better leave the Bogle behind when you meet Ellen.

    Kevin from Queens

    QOTD: 06 Susan Balbo Torrentes, 06 Cht St. Michelle Dry Rose

    No shaving until the Jets Win- I like it- good job GV

    OTD: 1 – 2006 Alamos Malbec – actually pretty good first night, better second night. Slightly mollified my distaste for Malbec. Will try the ‘05 Pascual Toso Maipu Mendoza next.

    2- Friends brought a Gray Fox Chardonnay ‘06. I shuddered, but was quite pleasantly surprised. Not what I’d call oaky, label makes no mention either way. We all enjoyed it, so all’s well.

    Another good episode, I like the topic, being in the CKC and all.

    QOTD: Simon Hackett 2004 Semillon – quite forgetable

    Concha Y Toro Xplorador Central Valley 2005 Carmenere – I really enjoyed this as well as its price point

  19. September 11, 2007

    QOTD:
    2005 Riff Pinot Grigio
    2004 E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône

    OMG, you’re gonna meet Ellen DeGeneres and make her eat dirt and sweaty socks? That is awesome! Tell her I said “Hi!”

    QOTD: Duval Leroy Champagne and A to Z Pinot Noir

  21. September 11, 2007

    Ferrigno

    I HATE WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOW GUM!

    QOTD: Château de Nages Réserve 2004 (Appellation Costières de Nimes Contrôlée)and the Moulin-á-Vent from Jadot 2001.

    QOTD: I had some Tailgate Re from HolyField Winery (a local place here in Kansas) last night and tonight was Alexander Valley 2003 Cab with my steak.

  23. September 11, 2007

    QOTD – Los Lirios Malbec from Argentina and a Petite Sirah from Rosenblum – I think Heritage Clones or something. Oh actually a Valpolicella that will remain nameless because I always trust Andy at Cafe Emelia.

    So happy to hear you will draw names for the trip to Cali for the Vayniak Cab thing. A very cool gesture.

    Congrats on the Ellen show!

    QOTD:

    2004 Montesecondo Toscano Rosso: an awesome wine for ~$15. Very nervy red fruit flavors of cherry, raspberry, and cranberry. Great with food.

    2005 Barmes-Buecher Cramant d’Alsace: a very interesting sparkling white made with Alsatian grape varieties. Not at all like Champagne. Apples, earth, and sweaty/oyster mushroom charateristics with a creamy mouth-feel.

    No longer a lurker!

    Chateau St Jean Fume Blanc 2005 Fume Blanc
    Chateau Beauchene 2005 Cote Du Rhone Villages

    enjoyed both immensely. Fume blanc one of my favorite wines of the summer.
