    Nice show, good learning experience.

    I’m hoping when I fall asleep tonight I’ll have a Petit Verdot wet dream.

    Gary, the intro was cool. However 25 minutes was too long. Even keeping the intro in, I could see losing 10 minutes off this show. Shorter will keep me watching all your shows. Have you tried Salneval Albarino or Pirramimma PV?
    QOD: Costco and a myriad of other shops for teeny stuff like a lemon or garlic head………

    QOTD: Willy Street Co-Op in Madison or Jenifer Street Market, which is close enough to walk even in a snowstorm. :-) But I get all my wine at Barriques, where I (occasionally) work. The 10%-above-cost discount for employees is awesome.

    Waiting . . . I guess I’ll pop the Saint Jean du Barroux and see what all the fuss is about.

    Smith MBA

    QOTD: You asked for specifics, Whole Foods on P Street NW DC, Dupont Circle Farmer’s Market on Sundays, Giant Foods on O Street NW DC, CVS on 4th and H street.

    I think that covers most of it.

    QOTD: Trying to mix whole foods, trader joe’s, a little bit of Safeway, and the farmers market.

    looking forward to a Classic! Time to quaff some il Mimo rose.

    QOTD: I do most of my food shopping at the ACME down the street from me. Across the street from them is a Beer Distributor where I get my Bacardi O3’s at. And down the street from there is a Wine & Spirit Store where I of course get my wine and Liquor.

    QTOD- Whole Foods and if I have time, the specialty markets that Chicago has so many of (Paulina Meat Market, for example).

  17. December 5, 2007

    Monstrose

    QOTD: Costco for staples, Whole Foods for things I don’t need by the ton and Marczyk’s (a local Denver shop) for cheese and special stuff.

    Carl

    Trader Joe’s ’cause I work there and get 10% off.
    Try the Warrmang Grand Pyrenees 2002…30%cab/30%cabfranc/30%shiraz. $14.99 great right out of the bottle. One of the best wines we got right now.

    Please no more discussing your wet dreams……..
    QOTD- Whole Foods
    If there is one person that does not need Red Bull it is you, the Energizer Bunny!

    Good to see you struggle at buying wine. We all go through it. You can be very disappointed still buying what you are comfotrable with. I love the Cartlidge and Brown Pinot Noir and bough a bunch of the 2006 to give out for the Holidays and it was horrible. All Rubbing Alcohol and no fruit. Very disappointing.

    Good show Gary. Anyone who’s been watching for a while knows you love Petit Verdot. (As do I.)

    QOTD: I shop for food at three different stores near my house. Allow me to be specific. :D

    Safeway, 6500 Piney Branch Road, NW, Washington, DC

    Whole Foods, 833 Wayne Ave, Silver Spring, MD

    Sniders, 1936 Seminary Rd, Silver Spring, MD

    The sea of wine that is in your library is daunting even to its owner. I now feel much better when I have purchased my three bottles and only one is up to expectation. You stopped and picked up the Sojourn cabernet and then put it back because you tasted it last week. Have you tried one of their Pinot Noirs yet??????

    Malbec has found a home in Argentina. In Chile they feel that Carmenere has a life of its own springing from their soils. Carmenere was a lost grape no longer popular in Bordeaux and was previously mistaken for Merlot in Chile. DNA testing revealed that it was indeed a separate varietal and the rest is history. BTW, recently the entire genome of vinifera has been mapped. We will know more about the history of the vines as a result or if they have committed a crime…..

    Safeway, Lotte and Giant Foods.

    I definitely spend my money on groceries at the local Ashland Food Co-op. Gotta give that money back to the peoples!

    Hi Gary! I’m sure if I went shopping I would somehow have done worse than 0-3. :) Don’t let it get you down, and WAY TO LOOK FOR THE SILVER LINING (i.e., wine is all about trying new things, learning your lessons, sometimes twice)! I love that about you.

    QOTD: I shop mainly at a Market District Giant Eagle, sometimes at Trader Joes, not enough at ALDI, and very occasionally at Whole Foods (their canned pumpkin puree is so much better than anyone elses!).

    Now, if only the damned PA blue laws weren’t so restrictive: I have to make a separate trip for wine/beer/liquor! Very annoying.
