Nice show, Gary!

Good recall on the werther’s original flavor. I mentioned that regarding a port the other night in an email to you, so that jumped out at me as a flavor I’d recognize right away. You semi-panned the wine, but I’m still going to try it.

QOTD: No idea yet.

QOTD: Not sure yet. Tomorrow,I will spend some time down in the basement looking over the stock and see what jumps out at me.

Snagged a few of the Les Clauses. Sounded good.

Thank God the Jets finally won again!
Enjoyed the 6 wine reviews.

QOTD: We’re having 3 days of Thanksgiving celebrations. The first one is a pizza Thanksgiving with 2005 Turley California zinfandel, the second is a turkey dinner with Cardwell Hill Reserve pinot noir (we visited them in Oregon), the third is a meatloaf dinner with Prosecco and Robert Sinskey 2002 Proprietary Red.

QOTD. Don’t know yet. I’ll have to see what mood I’m in. One strong possibility, though, is a cabernet franc from the Loire.

I’m starting off with a Dry Reisling from Wollersheim winery in Prarie du Sac, WI, probably my favorite Reisling. Then a little Red Zin from Bogel and Ravenswood. Finish it all off with a sipper of Wollersheim Port, and I’ll be happy for a long time!

Gary…..great episode once again. Still getting my palate to get into some great red wines. Still yong in my wine days.

Will be drinking: 2004 Wente Vineyards Chardonnay Nth Degree, nice wine with great flavors. You should check it out. Probably finish it off with some Pelee Island Late Autumn Riesling.

Hi Gary ! thank you once again for your focus on Languedoc wines. Minervois is just 30km away from home and I know they deserve your comments. Huge work has been done there too ! I totally agree. Let me add your widget on my website and let’s see if i can fly for the first time to America… See you in a couple of weeks :-)
faithfully

I’m serving my turkey *in* a pickled jock strap, so maybe I’ll get that Burgundy to go with it…

QOTD: Actually, we’re having a bunch of Gary Farrell wines my folks picked up when they visited the winery a few weeks ago; Allan Scott 2006 Pinot Noir; and with dessert the 2001 Chateau Nairac Barsac. Oh, and a half bottle of 2003 Suiduraut in case we finish off the Barsac.

…and hopefully someone’s making martinis before dinner!

After 2 unsuccessful attempts at picking up the Markham Zinfindel from those lovely PA Wine and Spirits Shops, I’ve decided to go with a Rhone wine from my stash. I’m thinking E. Guigal Cote du Rhone. MMMM…Rhone.
