Where are the jets going to be come January? When the Steelers are in the Super Bowl you know you are going to root for them and be that guy that says, “at least the Jets beat the Super Bowl champs.” J-E-T-S S-U-C-K

QOTD: Well, Thanksgiving is not really celebrated where I live but if I were to go to a Thanksgiving dinner, I would bring a Louis Jadot Moulin-a-Vent Chateau des Jacques.

Cline is a lot like Bogle, very loyal fans, you know, kind of like being a Jets fan. QOTD: Scheid Vineyards sent me a Petite Sirah and a Gewurztraminer that I will start out with then move on to some Chili wines from Marques de Casa Concha (they like Oak so you may want to pass) thanks for the French discoveries, wish I had a better supplier out here in California.

Nice episode GV. Will probably go with the Seghesio Prati Zinfandel that Brandon W recommended. May also start off with some Prosecco before the meal. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I’ve taken enough abuse about the steelers today(my partner is a patriot’s fan). I will seek out the rhone blends.
QOTD I planned on the secret 4-pak for T’giving. Plus I’ll bring a 2005 Amisfield Pinot and Orin Swift 2005 The Prisoner

Great episode. I have had both the Triennes and the Cline before. I really enjoyed the Triennes and while I couldn’t say there was anything bad about the Cline, it just didn’t really catch my interest.

QOTD: Here’s what I picked out for my Thanksgiving Crew in no particular order. Some of them I have had before, some of them I haven’t. Since, I’ll be dining with people who like wine, but aren’t really into it, I decided to go with stuff they probably haven’t had before to makes things a little more interesting for everyone.

Freixenet 2003 Brut Nature Cava, Spain
Scu Do Prosecco, Italy
Rudera 2005 Chenin Blanc, South Africa
Three Saints Winery 2005 Syrah, CA
David Bruce 2005 Petite Sirah, CA
Luzon Verde 2006 Jumilla, Spain
Dr. Konstantin Frank 2006 Dry Riesling, NY
Tres Picos Borsoa 2006, Spain
Quinta Do Noval 10 year Tawny Port

QOTD: I’m still trying to put that together right now. Definitely some Biale, maybe Zappa or Royal Punishers PS. And some P/G for the Aunts. And probably some pinot, and other zin. And that last bottle of Domaine Fontsainte Gris de Gris Rose. Happy Turkey Day to all!!!

Great show Gary, I am going to see if I can find that 2005 Leocadie Les Clauses.

QOTD: Not sure yet?? I am thinking maybe a Zin…maybe Franks Family

I am not sure what I am drinking as at least some of it will be from the secret thanksgiving pack. We missed it on saturday so I might have to stay home tomorrow to be sure we get it before the day. We are excited to get to drink with you Gary on turkey day!

Great show as always.

QOTD: While cooking I will be sipping on one of your recent reviews, the Prosecco.

Donhoff Riesling (GER)
Beaux Freres Pinot Noir (OR)
Turley Zinfandel (CA)

and, of course, I will gather everyone around to taste your 4-pack.

Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S. Thanks for the victory over the Steelers. That puts the Colts alone as the #2 seed . . . for now.

I won’t know what I’m drinking until Thanksgiving day when I open my pack. And I’ll be sporting my new WLTV wristband in Cancun if all goes well!

Very excited to see what we’ll be drinking – I had faith Gary – I hope you come through big time!

Cause my Mother-in-Law doesn’t have any wine!

I don’t know, I’m at the mercy of the relatives and I hate surprises. I’m still wondering whether to slip a few bottles into my luggage in case of emergencies.

For the contest, does it have to be a wine blog? Or can it be a blog about.. say.. cars? Or, can it be a myspace page?

QOTD: 2006 ChÃ¢teau de la NÃ©gly La Clape RosÃ©, and one of two Petit Verdot’s I have.

Oregon Pinot, Deponte of course, (because that is our family winery and it is quite good)and probably Ken Wright. Might do a bottle of Sine Qua Non to spice things up.

Me and my 32 guests will be drinking whatever I feel like pulling out of the cellar Thursday afternoon. Great show!

Did you mention the Triennes is a DRC/Dujac venture. Great stuff for the price.
Blend is
Cabernet-Sauvignon 73%, Syrah 22%, Merlot 5%
I’m an ex-pat in Japan so no T-Giving for me…
