Sorry for the spelling error – Sokol Blosser’s Meditrina III is the correct spelling.

QOTD: took your advice and tried an albariÃ±o for the first time recently (from Rias Baixas). Loved it! will certainly search out some more now.

QOD: I was very surprised by a wine my wife has been drinking on business trips while dining at Ruth’s Chris…Sokol Blosser’s Metrina III. I opened up my mind to an Oregon blend and was glad I did.

For some reason, this red appeals to women who typically only respond to whites. It may be the fruit, it may be because Sokol Blosser is run by women, who knows.

BTW…Go Jaguars !!

I tried making Strawberry wine, mostly because I can get California strawberrys in Az. but I can’t buy California wine grapes here. It came out pretty well but it’s not Cabernet

Anchovies. I don’t like anchovies. or…. DIDN’T like anchovies (preconceived notions?)… but I was in Costa Brava… in a seaside cafe… with $5 bottle of Cava (speaking of bargains)… with my honey… does it get any better than that?

GV at his most charming. Fine ep.

QOTD: A trip to Hawaii in January. Have never cared for tropical environs, The eastern slope of the Sierras and Rockies is in my DNA. Gotta find out what others see in those islands.

Gotta try new things; just had an Emilio Moro 2001 Ribera del Duero Tempranillo. I’m weak on Italian wine experience, so this bottle was an eye opener. I just kept smelling it and diving the nose into the glass. I finally got around to drinking it and I’ve become a big Tempranillo fan due to this bottle. Black cherries, vanilla, forest floor. Nice stuff for a $20 bottle. Now I have to figure out what to try next since this bottle was probably just a starting point.

Gary; respect. Loving the show and sharing the love.

Oh, and I WANT to try dolcetto soooo bad, but I can’t find it in Syracuse! I’m so bummed!

I totally agree with your assesment. Drink it when you want, listen to nobody

QOTD (cont’d): Oh, and the biggest of all – WINE!! I never liked wine in college.. had a few bad jug reds and thought it was gross… but then I decided that even if i didnt like it, I should learn how to appreciate and understand it (so i at least wouldnt look like a doof giving it as gifts or ordering in restaurants), so I decided to take a course through RIT – Wines of the World. After the first class I was hooked! I gave it an honest try, and now I’m a total Vayniac! (good question Gary)

Keep an open mind people, or you’re going to miss out on a LOT of wonderful things in life!

QOTD: The ‘05 Wolftrap – NEVER would have tried it, but saw you recco. it on a show and happen to pass by it in a LWS and my girlfriend and I loved IT! In fact, just had a bottle of it last night. It has definitely motivated me to try more S.A. wines.

QOTD:Deep fried fish eyeballs. But if you’re looking for wine-related: Gruner Veltliner from Austria.

QOTD: Tough question. I don’t think I’ve thought so long and/or hard about a QOTD ever. Now I’m stalling. I have it…having steaks rare. Very tasty. Has to be the right cut though. I used to be a medium-rare only kind of guy, but now I switch it up.

I don’t really listen to ratings, which is why I’ve really liked this week’s shows – I love that Gary has been saying whether it’s a good wine for the price! I’m poor and can’t afford expensive wine, but I can’t not drink it, so my eternal quest is to find wine I like in my price range… I have my OWN rating scale and I keep my own notes on every wine I try. THOSE are the ONLY ratings i really listen to.

QOTD: non-wine fave new try: whitewater rafting… was a little scared at first hitting some huge rapids on the snake river in CO, but i fell in LOVE with it after the first try! I can’t wait to go again!
wine fave new try: rkatsiteli wine – delicious!

Order 393401 – every item ordered was NEW and most GV endorsed. We love to try new wines. Big Brunello tasting with Guido Orzalesi from Altesino on Monday night. Sponsored by the competition (although they don’t come close to WL). Thanks for the free shipping, that rocked.

QOTD – Recently tried Aglianico for the first time, loved it!

QOTD: This is odd, but fresh apricots and fresh plums. They were too “Squishy” as a kid. Now, thanks to my wife, I love them!!
