TREMENDOUS!! Even the birds are on fire every day! QOTD: Incidently, two australian shirazes. Last night, Yellow Tail Shiraz The Reserve. I found a word for it: Popular. Not ordinary, but popular. Showing the obvious somewhat artificial and sugarfied characteristics. The previous wine was the Slipstream shiraz/grenache blend. Cherry cola and peppery.

Hi, Gary. Great line of shows you are doing this week. This is what make WLTV so GREAT – helping us to fine bargain wines that are excellent values. Although I know your views with respect to wine scoring, some of us have a lot of respect for your palate and, I for one, would like you to continue scoring the wines you taste.

In that regard, I’m looking for a good QPR Pinot Noir. I went through the WL listing of the 100+ Pinots you have in stock and found the you have only rated one that is $48 bones. How about doing some more?

Great Show

A timely question my good sir as I just enjoyed two great bargains that would certainly come under the $13 mark.

Gruner Veltliner Traisental 2006 – amazing grapefruit thing happening.
Par Preignes Petit Verdot 2004 – Beziers giving real PV bang for the buck.

Take it easy,

GARY– I was an intern on the Ellen show last fall, which was when I started watching WLTV… this is huge news! Can’t wait to watch, and I’ll talk to my peeps over there to see if I can get to see your show (probably taping it on Thurs of this week or Mon of next).

QOTD: Well, my room mate bought Gallo “reserve” Cab (yeah, right) for celebration of my new job, and it was ok. Could’ve got something comparable for half the price. BUT, I also had my first Alsacian Chasellas tonight (AT my new restaurant job), and it was fantastic, with similar Alsacian gewertz or riesling minerality and GREAT acidity.

Thanks for the value wine episode. Bargains are very interesting. On the other hand, my last wines have been at the more middle area: last night with a visiting family from France, we contrasted a Chateau Talbot 2000 with a Penfold Coonawarra Shiraz 2004, bin 128. Pretty amusing with the new vs. old world contrast. I don’t have to tell you which one my Antibes friends liked better! Actually, I agreed as the Talbot really had a lot of interesting flavors to play out. Tonight I went out alone and enjoyed a couple glasses of Girardin 2003 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Epenots with bruschettas. Really smooth with a dusty finish. Nice wine from the Beaune area. A memorable evening, but back to $8 starting tomorrow: Promise!

Love that you are doing value wines. Last two wines: 2001 Chateau Tournefeuille Lalande de Pomerol; 2005 Matua New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. I am always looking for good wines that you can pick up for less than $125/case. Can you combine all of your “value wine” picks into a nice spreadsheet or link for us? Great show, I’ll have to YouTube your Ellen appearance next week. Have fun in Cali!

I’m Digging these value wine reviews, and starting to buy cheaper wines lately. Just tried a Gnarly Head Zin and Irony Pinot last week, the Gnarly Head came out on top.

I gotta admit, I’m liking the lack of point scores so far. Though it would be nice to not have it mentioned every so often what you *would* have given a particular wine that has impressed you, GV. Consistency is cool.

I’m really liking the pass/fail system as to whether or not the wine you’re tasting is worth the declared dollar price. It drives home the fact that scores are indeed rather irrelevant in such a subjective field like wine tasting. As a person who buys wine when my budget allows for the luxury, I’m more interested in getting a good value for my purchase rather than a sample of mediocre and overly-hyped wine.

And I’ll STILL be willing to try out any wine that is given multiple Z’s, if only just to see for myself why it got so many of them.

QOTD: ‘03 Ciccio Zaccagnini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo; and coincidentally ‘06 A to Z Pinot Noir.

Thanks for the preview on the A to Z pinot gris…I love the noir, and always hesistated on trying the gris. Maybe now I’ll take the $11 plunge.

congrats on the Ellen show and on another great WLTV episode. keep up the god work!
glad you tasted the bogle pinot noir. i had it 3 days ago while at a pinot / red burgundy tasting, and I actually thought it was very pleasant. yes… a bit light compared to alot of the super extracted new world PN’s, but i found some nice fruit and none of the eucalyptus notes you mentioned. it was one of the crowd favorites and a great deal in my humble opinion.

Folie Ã Deux Menage Ã Trois Red is what I drank before the show, and a Napa Valley Vinyard’s white something (Chard?) was what I drank last night. Both of which I reviewed on Corkd.com, the world’s greatest wine website. Shameless plug for ya.

Gary…cmon…lighter than you’d like to see in a Pinot? Check a few Burgundies for comparison.

Gimme a break…..you are kidding about this wine.

BULLSHIT….this is not even close to Yellow Tail or Little Penguin
