    QOTD: Working, working, working . . . Finals comming up too quickly. I have tried the past versions of the Panarroz and thought them to be fantastic values with a burt component. Look forward to trying the 06.

    Working this weekend mostly. I love your descriptions GV. That is why I watch and listen. That more than scores tells me whether or not I will like the wines you describe since none of us can taste as much as you can. that being said nothing about this episode sounded that appealing.
    Why do you even haver a Strawberry Shortcake bucket? That seems wrong on many levels. Kind of like your fascination with Pat Benetar. Haven’t hearf that one from you in a long time.

    Kosher Cuvee

    Hey Gary, I entered your widget contest but I don’t have a blog, just a kosher wine list. Is that OK?

    I would love to be able to go out to eat (kosher restaurant of which there are many in Manhattan) with you and drink some great kosher wines. I’d really like to see what you think of them live. My brother (google him, Neill Schutzer pictures) takes pictures of celebrities in L.A. How would you like to be in People Magazine?

    QUOTD:This weekend I’ll be observing the sabbath from sundown Friday night to sundown Saturday night (as usual). Sunday I have to bring my computer to Fry’s to get it fixed.

    QOTD: Happy hour Friday night… saw a buddy’s band (Cordova)… sat around Saturday watched movies and drank some good PA wines (Blue Mountain Bri’s Blush, Clover Hill Niagara)… shopping on Sunday in the snow.

    I’m hesitant now about Robert Parker’s (& Jay Miller’s) 90 point fruit bombs, especially from Australia. While I know they will appeal to the mass US market, those wines just don’t do it for me. The fruit extraction can be amazing, but often gets boring after 1 glass.

    You shouldn’t tell people to trust their own palate and then say you’ll be angry at someone who likes the earth cab. I do agree high scores are being thrown around a little too much. People shouldn’t follow them solely but they are a great guide for those of use who can ill afford to spend $20 on something we’re going to pour down the drain.

    I know it’s just a mix-up, but nobody seems to have commented on this. I’ve watched it twice and twice it has irked me…

    The Barossa Valley does not produce California wines. That should be in Australia. Sorry to not-pick on this one. Especially for a Kool-aid cabernet.

    FWIW, we had the 2004 Panarroz, which I think WA also gave a 91. Your description of the 2006 sounded similar, however – no electronics in the 2004. We agreed w/ WA on the 2004 call of 90 pts – it was a solid effort.

    QOTD: Hit the slopes at Copper Mtn today for a bit of snowboarding & skiing; A few inches of fresh, but only 4 runs open on man-made snow – we need some more snow out here in this part of Colorado. Tomorrow, we are getting the Christmas tree.

    I actually have to admit that I really enjoyed the Earthwork 2005 Shiraz, great Blueberry syrup flavors with a little “earthiness” to it. I also must admit that I do enjoy a good “fruit bomb.” I was not impressed with the 2006 Shiraz however & I have not yet had the cabernet.

    QOTD: Mr. Mom for the weekend b/c my wife is working Saturday & Sunday. I am going to be drinking 2003 Glen Carlou Grande Classique, a really nice South African Bordeaux style blend that was only $13!

    Putting up the Xmas tree and then working Sunday afternoon.

    Speaking of wine under $10, drinking Cartlidge and Brown Pinot Noir.

    Mmmm grape pixie sticks…delicious. But not in a bottle of wine. Thanks for the warning GV!

    QOTD: Wishing I was at Crushpad. But instead I find myself in snowy, cold Wisconsin. I ended up decorating my house and cooking for tmrw….because we’re finally going to taste along with you for the Thanksgiving 4 Pack! So pumped to try them out…and no worries- Lindsay’s decanting the pinot beforehand!

    Fried electronics … That makes me think of the time I plugged a U.S. CD player into a European plug (accidentally …) and smelt that more intensely than I ever have before or since. I *loved* that CD player, so it’s not a smell I’m particularly fond of, but in a wine? Maybe intriguing. Something new, at least.

    QoTD: This weekend — and I apologise to everyone who’s jealous of all the fun I’ll be having — I’m going to be getting my ass over to a café and writing a 25-page paper … In fact, I’m on my way back there in a couple minutes; just stopped home to have some quick dinner and watch WL :-)

    Great show, I just opened a Rhone Rebel GSM, a $6 bottle. On top of that I just got back from buying a bondol and a few other bottles.
    QOTD- Going to an Eithopean Restaurant with my mother-in-law, then finishing the Rhone Rebel.

    Gary- Thanks for trying those wines so I don’t have to. I’ve already tried the Panarroz and it just didn’t do it for me. In technical terms, it tastes terrible.

    This weekend is a snowstorm, the first wave of holiday parties, and the Giants v. Bears.

    Gary – I’m a little confused with the 100 point scoring system. Should a “Fake Flavored” wine like this score 50 points or less? I’ve tasted it, it’s a fruit punch. Fruit juice + alcohol it’s a beverage, and that’s ok, but let’s stop calling it wine. Regarding Jay Miller, you are absolutely right. This guy is throwing 90+ left and right. I don’t dispute Parker’s palate, buy I do question his judgment selecting his partners.

    Gary I find that I will buy a wine because of the score, but that is just to try it. I don’t buy wine just because of the score. I prefer to buy wine that I have tasted, but you can not always do that. I even will buy a wine from your tasting reviews. I just think everyone should keep an open mind on wine and trying a wine because of a score or from some ones recommadation should not be bashed if that is not the only way to buy wine.

    QOTD We are haveing some friends over for desert and a 1977 Warre’s Port.
