“Don’t be scared of the brownish hue- embrace the brownish hue.” GV, I don’t think that can be said for much other than wine!! And what’s this with not shaving until the Jets win. What does your wife think of that? Did she have a say in it?

QOTD: Never had a Barolo, although I’ve had a few wines made with Nebbiolo from Piedmont.

Recently (3 weeks ago) had a 1997 Giovanni Manzone Barolo Le Gramolere Reserva-it was like being touched by the hand of God–or some higher epiphany deity of your choice! Love barolos, and like burgundy, seek them out in the wine stores every day I have off work. Great show-thanks for trying some big hitters of a vintage that I spent too much on, but have been patient.

Great show and some fantastic advice for up and coming wine geeks; I am one and (thankfully) was told of barolos ten years ago…have been collecting and drinking them ever since…

I have had, I think two, Barolos until I had the one that got me hooked….2001 Principiano Ferdinando Barolo Boscareto. Usually sells for about $59 at one liquor store by me. They had it on sale for $43 a few weeks ago……NICE. Haven’t seen it at wine libary though. I thought that was the bomb until I got a 1999 Azelia Barolo San Rocco…even better. Barolos has to be my second favorite type, second to amarones.

QOTD: No, not yet. I do have a Langhe Nebbiolo in my rack that I’ve been waiting to try, though. I know – not the same, but it’s the closest I’ve got!

No i have not and i am sad. I have had some amazing Brunellos some amazing Super Tuscans but i have never been able to get ym hands on a barolo. GV i think you should hand out Barolos for FREE. haha

I had one recently that was a bit young – a 2002 – at Saffron Mediterranean Kitchen in Walla Walla, WA (on a whim). My boss asked 3 of us, Barbera or Barolo? – I immediately said Barolo, to which he replied, “you have expensive taste.” But he got it anyway! I have had one or two others – not recalling any names right now. . . when you work in a restaurant in wine country people offer you wine to taste all the time. Anyway we should have decanted it, it was tasty, but not life changing.

QOTD: 2000 Ca’ Bianca Barolo — yes, Gary, I’ve had a Barolo– my favorite wine.

How you like Thomas Jones now, at 1-7???

Love barolo! It is tough to find barolo under $40, though so I drink a lot of other wines in between barolos.

I prefer to cellar them and have not opened a 2000 yet.

Thanks for the show

Never could afford good Barolo in the US, but tasted several on a trip through Piedmont, fell in love with it. Would love to find the 2000 Oberto, but no one in NOVA carries it

QOTD: Corino 2000 and Damilano 2000 (the only two I’ve EVER had.) Mmmmm good!
I’m keeping one bottle (remaining) of each for more bottle aging for some future special occasions.

QOTD: Last night I went to wine dinner featuring Vietti wines. Had a 2004 Barolo that was really good. I actually liked the Barbera they make from the Barolo region just as much, and it costs 1/3 as much.

QOTD- I am doing my best to drink a lot of wine to get up to speed (the journey is fun) but I have never had a Barolo. I think it may be my Christmas present to myself.
