QOTD: 1997 Fontodi Chianti Classico Riserva “Vigna del Sorbo”

Single-vineyard reserve. Unreal. Have two left.

Great show boys

QOTD: It’s interesting how many people haven’t bought a case of wine before, one of the great joys is watching a wine change over time … Anyway if I had to buy one case it would probably be ‘Grosset Polish Hill Riesling’ – probably the greatest value wine in Australia and a drink that ages and changes remarkably with time (which is what your looking for in buying a dozen bottles to age …)

QOTD: 2003 Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc Reserve To Kalon Vineyard I-Block

I am a wine lover and I live in MD. I hear Dave’s plea and will e-mail the Gov! Can’t get my shipments from wine clubs, have to send them to DC or VA. BTW, favorite wine by the case, Geyser Peak Sauvignon Blanc, it’s the perfect appetizer wine in the summer and it’s a steal at $9.99. Love the Thunder Show!!!

QOTD: I’ve never bought a case of wine

qotd: never bought a case of wine… still trying to figure out what i really love : )

Great show. DK should be an annual guest on WLTV.

QOTD: I never purchased a case of wine for myself, but I did enjoy the following wines enough to buy 6 additional bottles:

2004 Desert Wind Ruah Columbia Valley ($10.00)
2005 Bodegas Arrocal Ribera del Duero ($12.00)
2006 Earthworks Cabernet Sauvignon Barossa Valley ($9.00)
2006 Te Kairanga Pinot Noir ($16.00)

Wonderful show. First case was very recent. 2000 Columbia Crest Walter Clore Private Reserve. Picked it up for $19/bottle, a steal.

QOD: Sutter Home Deaver Vineyards Lot2 1970
My wife bought me a case of 1966 Dow Port of which I have one bottle left.
It is now rose in color – light pink in fact with loads of dark sludgy sediment. It’s been interesting seeing the development.
Have bought mostly ports and sauternes by the case because I like them and they have the history of long age. Have 1977 Taylor, 85 Graham, mixed case of ’94s, 1983 Rieussec 1/2 bottles almost gone, 2001 Rieussec, Suideraut, d’Arche and a few others.

QOTD: 2000 Sansonnet

WOW! What a show G-Man! DK rocked the thunder show. You cleary have someone who could sub for you on sick days, vacation, etc. Not sure if any guest will be able to measure up to DK.

QOTD: About a year ago, I bought a case of the Vin Lobos, Crocodillo Cabernet, Paul Hobbs effort in Mendoza, Argentia. Otherwise, I usually stick with mixed cases for near term consumption.

Thanks again, for another great show.

Gary was very, very good — as usual.
Guest was very, very annoying.

Great Show. Way to give Gary a run for his money.

QOTD: Green and Red Zinfandel. Only full case I’ve ever bought. It was sad to see the last one pulled out and enjoyed.

Great guest – spirited with sense of humor.

A whole case: Chateau Pesquie Terrasses, love it.

QOTD: I have bought cases of several wines but then a gain I have a problem…. 😉

I bought a case of the Vina Chocalan 2004 Gran Reserva=it rocks!!

I buy cases at least 3-4 times a year.

A must every year is the Buehler Zin, great value for Napa.

Nipozzano Ghianti – another great value wine.

The Cotes Du Rhone of the season, this years is from WL Domaine Brusset Cotes Du Rhone Villages Cairanne

I will also mix in another case or two of value wine. I learned my lesson years ago, when I came across the 2001 Castle Rock Zin that was $10 an brought the Thunder. I turned around and it was GONE! No more, get a bottle or two, taste and then immediately start your hunt to bag a case or two. Even if you do not have a cellar, you will amaze your friends with your find.

Great show! Great job, DK!

I too have only ever purchased an entire case of the same wine at one time: the 2003 Seghesio Sonoma Zin because I was pissed that I did not step up and get a case of the 2002, which really rocked, and the 2003 was pretty good too.

i am a little late… but his ravens got beat by my MIAMI DOLPHINS. lol

That was awesome. Great job DK.

great show! DK did a nice job. great QOD… I’ve never really bought a full case of one wine. I recently bought a 1/2 case of Altano Douro reserva 2003.

Last case of wine I bought was wild bunch red, because a bunch of my friends have been “wild bunch” members for over 20 years playing softball together. For a $10 wine, not bad.

DK! Epic!! Epic!! You ROCK! Nice job! Seriously, I live in Ohio and until the Supreme Court ruling against Michigan and New York, we were stuck in a similar position. I mean, what is wrong with Maryland? I think I read that it is actually a FELONY to ship wine to Maryland. Come on! FREE THE GRAPES!

QOTD: The first wine I bought a case of was the 2000 Chateau d’Armailhac because it was the only 200 Bordeaux that got decent reviews that I could afford and get in Ohio at the time (summer of 2003).

wow- that guys insane, but i love it.

I don’t roll heavy in case buys – I am a 3 to 6 bottle buyer.
However, several wines I have bought by the case:

Elderton Command Shiraz
Windmill Old Vine Zin
Pillar Box Red
Four Vines Naked Chardonnay – thanks to GV
