    QOTD: A Beaujolais. Paired it with beef bourguignon (yes made with a real Burgandy *wink*) that was fantastic. They both complimented each other very well.

    great show, though I disagree with you about the nouveau. not about the quality of the wine, because that is up to the individual palate. but about what it does for the wine world. it may be a shameless marketing scam, but it is something a lot of people look forward to each year. it is all about community for me. I get a lot of joy knowing that around the world people are doing the same thing.

    QOTD: You tried the Colome Malbec, which I haven’t had, but I saw their Torrontes and gave that a try. One of the most aromatic wines I have ever had!

    QOTD: would have to say the Razon from episode 98. After that episode, I made my first trip to WL. Wish I had bought more.

    I watched your episode where you tried Four Vines Naked Chardonnay.
    For the price point and your enthusiasm, I went out and found it.
    It is now my “house” Chardonnay - the one you always have 4-6 bottles of in the event someone drops in.

    I live in Michigan so, I chose this episode to show to my sister-in-law (who was visiting us) your show. Her 6 year old son was in the room and watching as well. We had just finished watching the segment on ‘Coume Del Mas Schistes’. Next thing you know he took a sip of his Knudsen Organic Lemonaid and said, with the corresponding hand gestures, “this is incredible,WOW, I love it, this is serious!”

    We laughed like crazy!

    Great review on the Beaujolais my wife and I were engaged in Paris 4 years ago, we landed the Friday morning after the release of the Beaujolais, Drank it all during our trip and even got hammered on it a few times. We buy it because of sentimental reasons, but it sucked the last 2 years.

    Just had a customer at the store return an entire case of the 2007 Deboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau and lots of reports that our customers are not liking it. Take that for what it’s worth.

    Good show again, Gary. I appreciate you reviewing the Nouveau. I’ve been wondering how this year’s was going to be. I haven’t had a decent one for several years at least. I’m with you, I don’t understand what the big deal is.

    QOTD: Petite Verdot and Malbecs. I’ve been looking for them and trying them since I heard you recommend them.

    QOTD: I would have never ventured into Italian wines without WLTV. For reasons I can’t understand, I was always intimidated (still am a bit).

    I agree, it’s great to see a Michigan wine. North west Michigan is some of the most beautiful wine country you’ll come across. Well worth the trip. Most wineries make a very nice Riesling. Also worth seeking out are the Penninsula Cellars Gewurztraminer Old Mission Peninsula Maningold Vineyard, the sparkling wines from L. Mawby Vineyard Leelanau Peninsula, and wines from Chateau Fontaine. For years I’ve dismissed most reds from Michigan, however, the 2005 Brys Estate Pinot Noir was a very, very nice effort.

    QOTD - White wines from Campania (especially Greco di Tufo)

    Awesome episode. QOTD: Albarino- It is just fantasic. Bought the Black Pig that you showed a few months ago & it blew me away. Have had 3 other albarino’s as well, but the Black Pig was by far the best.

    The beaujolais nouveau sounds a lot like this very sour 2002 pinot noir from Romania that my grandmother and I opened the other day.

    Grandma also makes blueberry soup, ironically, especially in the winter and whenever blueberries are in season.

    lit match aroma comes from sulfer, matches have sulfer, and you are detecting sulfer from bottling. It will fade with time, so I’m told.

    I want a big glass, but people see it, and they all want one too, do you ignore their wants, or do yo rub it in their face and just show your superiority via over the top glass ware?

    Blueberry stew, call it macerated blueberries.

    I see you have a fear-the-cop complex, what have you been doing?

    The free shipping for insiders, it’s very gangster, I like it.

    A wine show that I watch on the internet sometimes, but it is so much more, how can you rate the influence you have had on my wine lexicon, you have opend this book that was so forbidden until now.

    I’m drinking the wine right now, it smells like jersy frizzed out super hair, strawberries, and bananas. It better with chocolate and I bet you could pour it on ice cream. Drink the shit, it’s Tradition damnit!
