Sad but good ep GV. QOTD: Although I’ve had some good to great wine in recent months, it’s been some time since I’ve had a truly profound wine.

Gary,

Way to go on the Boudreaux today. The 2003 is a great wine. If you ever get the chance you need to go visit Rob when you are in Washington. It is the only winery I know of that is completely off the grid and self powered. Check out “On Deadly Ground” with Steven Segal, they used Rob’s house next to the winery in many scenes.

QOTD – 2003 Boudreaux Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon “RESERVE” (From barrel sample). Rob only made 50 cases of the stuff. Got to try each of the barrels seperately and then he blended the two samples in my glass. It was a mind altering experience.

Your sign off today was the hardest I’ve laughed at WLTV in a long time. Great stuff.

QOTD: 2003 Rubicon – now I will spring for some expensive wine now and then

I’m going to YELL at you!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Num-Nuts!!!!!!!!!!! You just tripled the guy’s price so even if we were successful at getting on their mailing list, that probably leads to a waiting list, we wouldn’t be able to afford his wines anymore

QOTD
1. 1970 Charles Krug Vintage Selection Cabernet (Drank the last one in 1985. Still the best cabernet I’ve ever had)
2. 1985 Lynch Bages I’ll have to agree with Mr. Cruse that that bottle opened my eyes to Bordeaux and I drank mine 10 yrs ago. Really looking forward to drinking my 1989 next year.
3. 2005 Hewitson Private Cellar Shiraz/Mourvedre I drank one bottle and realized that in 5-7 yrs this could be phenominal. I realized that Australia can make some very serious wine.

QoTD: On impulse, I bought a bottle of the A to Z Pinot Gris that you tasted the other day … and I loved it. Was it the greatest bottle of wine I’ve ever had? No. -but- It’s (literally) THE FIRST bottle of white I *ever* bought, and, more importantly, it’s the first white I’ve ever actually enjoyed drinking Now, there’s a whole new “colour” to explore! Wow.

A lot of us are sad on this Monday. Mets. Monumental collapse. Enough said. Good episode. QOTD a 2000 Bordeaux (Beau Soleil, IIRC).

Great finish, with the understated “sig-line” sign off. And nice props to Ray Lewis, who despite the Ravens’ embarrassing chokerama yesterday (are you listening Dominus?) is STILL the closest thing to LT-hood or Butkus-hood this league has seen since LT.

QOTD: Rhone Rebel Cotes du Ventoux. Not an outstanding wine by any means (nowhere even close to the Mocali Brunello di Montalcino I had a few weeks ago), but it opened my eyes to the possibility of finding wines for under $7 dollars that aren’t garbage. I had thought my choice was to drink uninspiring (or outright terrible) swill at my price range, or always cringe when I spend at least $15 when I craved something good. With your help Gary, (and Cork’d), I’ve discovered I can have my cake and eat it too, even at my price range.

QOTD–1997 Clos Pegase Cab at a wine slide show by Jan from the winery. It showed me what smooth could be. A close number two was a 1997 Chimney Rock Cab, tailgating before a Moody Blues concert, out of plastic cups. Mind blowingly awesome!

QOTD – Gotta be Pintia 2003…this has got me into Tempranillo and Spain in general. Thanks Joe G!!!

QOTD: The Edmund’s St John “Rocks and Gravel” I had earlier this summer got me to discover a California producer that I really like, which is actually good for my overall wine experience. I got into wine a year and a half ago while living in The Old World, so my preference is decidedly Old World which has kind of kept me from getting into New World wines very much, but the Rocks and Gravel experience has started to change that.

I can understand having a Jets spit bucket — a perfect metaphor for what most of us have always thought about that team. If only you had a Yankee’s bucket — that would really be great to spit in, on and wherever!

Enjoyable episode. Would now like to see an episode comparing WA Cab blends in the 18-25$ range.

QOTD — Too many to recall, too long ago. However, most recent – ‘05 Belle Pente PN Reserve, underlining what a quality PN can bring.

2004 Chateau Angelus. What an elegant wine. Even at the current price it is a must have.

#1 – Boudreaux & the Devil

Boudreaux died and was on his way down to Hell. In anticipation, the Devil turned up the thermostat to make it extra warm for Boudreaux. When Boudreaux arrived, the Devil asked, “Hey Boudreaux, how do you like the heat down here?”
Boudreaux says, “Mais, it’s just fine. It reminds me of Bayou PonPon in July.”

That made the Devil mad. That night, he turned the thermostat up all the way it could go. Man it was hot! When Boudreaux woke up, the Devil asked him, “NOW how do you like it down here?”

Boudreaux says, “Mais, it’s fine. It reminds me of August on Bayou Lafourche.”

As you might expect, that made the Devil all the more mad. Well, that night, he turned the thermostat down all the way it could go! The whole place frosted over. Icicles started forming from the rafters. When Boudreaux woke up, the Devil asked him, “How you like it NOW, Boudreaux?”

Boudreaux, shivering, through blue lips, says, “Mais cher, I’m one happy Cajun!”

The Devil was infuriated! He yelled, “What do you mean you’re one happy Cajun?!!”

Boudreaux, still shivering says, “The Jets done won the Superbowl!”

(Just a joke. I’m sure the Jets will recover from their slump)

QOTD: The transition wine for me was the Chateau Lynch Bages 1985 that I won at auction recently. Now I GET why many people literally spend fortunes on vintage Bordeaux! I could spend a ridiculous amount of money to chase this flavor. In fact, it was so good I wrote about it on my blog: http://drinksareonme.net/?p=37

QOTD – Transition Wines: Two come to mind. It was a 2002 Sebastiani Cabernet Sonoma County. I had two bottles, held on to one 1/2 a year and drank it and then drank the other one a year later and I was almost (almost…) speechless. Also I just drank a bottle from Cadecues, a small winery in Arizona…and it really made me think about wine and what I drink it. Loved it!

I want to bring WA State wines to Japan so this was the perfect episode Gary. 96+?! Amazing. Sometimes you get excited about a winery, region, or wine and are disappointed. Not this time.

Wowwww, gotta find some of that Boudreaux. First though, my team (Colts of course) went through some very hard years, 2-14 and the like and you need to stick with them though it is sooooo difficult. Maybe, just maybe, you and your team will suffer so much to choose high in the draft and pick up a franchise QB because we know, Chad ain’t cutting it. BTW, your reference to Raty Lewis . . . they lost to the lowly Browns yesterday. Not stellar in my book.

QOTD: Easy one, long story but I’ll keep it short. Nearing the end of a holiday party, I was tapped on the shoulder to join a group of wine aficionados, i.e. geeks to try some wines from the guests’ cellar. He brought up an ‘88 or ‘86 Dominus. I was awestruck as you can tell by my handle and my car’s vanity tag is Dominus. Nuff said.

Hang in there, great show and GO JETS!!!!!!

Cheeers!

P.S. Hope the Pats lose tonight!

Gary, sorry for your loss, however we have not seen you get that excited about a wine in a long time which really put the thunder into todays show.
QOTD- Insaitable Chardonnay, cheap and easy to drink and I now look at chardonnay in a different light.

QOTD- 1978 Beringer PR

Interesting that the high scoring wine of the day was “smooth”, kind of a vague descriptor for Gary.

QORD: 2004 Clarendon Hills Kangarilla Grenache, definitely expanding the envelope.
