QOTD: A Charles Shaw Merlot and a Chateau St. Michelle Riesling.

Being a family on a very, VERY tight budget, when we buy wine it’s generally cheap like the Charles Shaw, and the Riesling was a gift.

QOTD: Just finished the Peller Estates 2004 Cabernet-Merlot (British Columbia, about $14 CAD) – I think by Cabernet they meant Cabernet Franc, ’cause it was all vegetal, dry and astringent (so no, not the ‘good’ vegetal, GV). Horrible stuff.

Just opened the Bleasdale 2004 Langhorne Crossing Shiraz-Cabernet (Langhorne Creek, Australia – about $13) – a good value, but I remember it being better. Sort of fake fruit, cherry cola and cinnamon components with a way-too-hot finish and a smearing of bitter tannin.

I gotta get the lady to tape Ellen for me! Congrats!

I’m with you on the Bogle pinot noir: not a fan. But I like Bogle’s petite sirah a lot. The Heartland Stickleback sounds interesting. Coconut, eh? Hmm.

QOTD: Last night’s wine was Guigal 2003 Cote-Rotie because (1) it’s one of my favorite reds and (2) a visiting friend had never tried a non-Australian shiraz—and I told him, “Are you kidding? Here, drink this!” And now he’s hooked.

Tonight I’m drinking Vinos Sin-Ley 2005 Monastrell No. 4 for the first time. I’m new to monastrell and man, the more of these wines I try (1st one I ever had was the Juan Gil 2005, just 2 days ago), the more I realize how much I like them, especially at these prices. Monastrell is my newest wine discovery.

Gary, great show as always! I feel for you with the Jets loss – I don’t follow football much anymore but I had season tickets to the Seahawks for 7 years back when they REALLY sucked, so I can feel your pain.

Just one note: Oregon is not pronounced Ore-a-gone it is pronounced ore-a-gun.

QOTD: 1. Last evening was a bpttle of Pine & Post 2004 Chardonnay. My wife liked it more than I did.
2. Tonight was a bottle of McGuigan 2002 BIN 3000 Merlot. We had it with a Texas size steak and it was okay after about the third glass for me but this one my wife did not like.

Comment: Gary, A little story for ya. I always swollow my gum also. Everytime I do though I think about my Aunt Ina whom always swollowed here gum for some 37 years and then had surgery to remove a recently found tumor in her stomach. When they sent the tumor off to pathology to see if it was cancerous they found that it was mostly made up of a rock hard substance that they later determined was gum. TRUE STORY….That was at age 42, she died two years ago at age 76. I still swollow every piece of gum I put in my mouth, I just don’t eat it that often. She was my favorite Aunt.

Gary, great show. The Rhone Rebel just arrived, really fun to drink. Coincidentally they are the last two wines that we drank. Thank you for the sentiment (twitter) regarding Michigan’s horrific loss to Oregon.

QOTD: Charles Shaw Merlot & Chateau St. Michelle Riesling, year unknown for both.

Being a family on a very, VERY tight budget, we mostly drink C.S. and the Riesling was a gift.

QOTD: From Wine Library – 2005 A.P. Vin Pinot Noir, Gary’s Vineyard: a wonderful pinot. It reminded me of a cherry compote, or of the cherry sauce I make for my cherry pie – flour instead of cornstarch.
2003 F.LLI Giuliana Amarone dela Valpolicella – I think it was the most fun wine I’d ever had – I added some to pureed strawberries and it was great; then the next day I added some to pork chops in a crockpot – equally great.

QOTD: I had a 2005 Peju Cabernet Sauvignon that was awesome and also a 2005 Little Penguin Shiraz that was ok. I am a lurker that is de-lurking just for you. I really enjoy your show and I’ve learned a lot.

Really enjoying the value shows! Thanks for keeping us “family guys” in mind. How about a new category: SICK (Single Income Countless Kids)? Wine for the “Family Man”!

QOTD: NV PinotEvil Pinot Noir from France, Colheita 2005 “Messias” Aragones 50%, Castelao Frances 50%, from Portugal. Both enjoyable for their “old world style”.

Why does it say “Gary Vaynerchuk sits down with 4 more wines that come in under $13.” when there’s only three wines for today? Hmm?

QOTD: 2001 Trambusti Brunello di Montalcino and 2004 Bodegas AlmanseÃ±as Almansa La Huella de Adaras. That took up a lot of space, didn’t it?
