    QOTD: Selvapiana Bucerchiale Chianti Classico Riserva 2003, I bought it because of you Gary. Thank you. I probably should buy more, but with a baby on the way in 9 weeks my wife has curbed my wine spending!

    QOTD: Not yet, but hoping to try some of these Ribero Del Duero’s.
    especially the exploding basil bombs.

    On Sunday we opened the 2004 Gravity Hills Tumbling Tractor Zinfandel that you did for a Thanksgiving episode last year and it was fantastic. We had it with homemade BBQ chicken pizza, which was a great match. Of course now it’s sold out almost everywhere I’ve been…I should have bought more!

    Domaine du Banneret 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape

    Had not really been my style, but it brought the thunder for me. Liked the cherries and sun dried cigar. Not a cheap cigar, a good dark honduran.

    QOTD: GV, did you recommend it? no, but I was walking the store hoping to pick up some fresh veggies and noticed a box of this lying around the wine section and I thought, oh crap, the 2003 was suppose to be nice but bought too much and ended up giving the rest away. But GV popped into my head, try new things, try NEW THINGS!! Alright! OK! I get it! So I bought a bottle, took it home and was happily impressed, drank it over 3 days and it was still, yes, bringing the thundah!! Thanks GV – your inspiration was well…it was inspirational. 2006 Two Hands Angel’s Share Shiraz (my score 93+)

    QOTD: 2000 Antinori Tenute Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva. Totally opened up my eyes to wine. Redefined my perceptions of what wine was (this is chianti?), the idea of old world vs. new world (i love dirt), and the idea of wine and food pairing (it’s even better with the red gravy).

    QOTD: Innocent Bystander Shiraz/Viognier 2004 (episode #295). Everything GV said it was (though I somehow missed the “green colored croutons”). It has me very curious to try Cote Rotie. BTW, the InnoBy 05 just arrived here. Curious to see if it still rocks.

    I’ve drank 2 bottles I’ve seen on the Thunder Show, and they were if the daily drinker variety, nothing that brings the thunder.

    However, one of them was the 4 Vines Naked Chard, and it has made it into my rotation.

    The Teira Zin was decent though.

    Looking forward to drinking some of the higher rated ones.

    Hey Gary!

    Happy Holidays…in from the left coast today going to try and stop by the shop! The Clio 2003 was the one that you turned me on to and got me into exploring more wines from Spain other than just Rioja and Priorat! I will definatley come in and buy at least one case today!

    Best,

    iTunes downloaded Monday’s steak episode again, even though it was titled #373. Anybody else run into this?

    What’s up with the creepy boy on the Urban Ribera label? Last time I saw something that chilling was at the end of Blair Witch.

    I have no idea what was the last wine library wine I drank. I have a poor memory for such things. I’m struggling to remember what I drank last night, and I didn’t even topple over unarrested and wake up with blood crusted on my lips and chin, or suffer a blow to the skull from an improvised blunt instrument. I did though eat some herring for breakfast this morning.

    QOTD: Clos des Fées Cotes du Roussillon… AMAZING stuff.. Of course, you need to willing to spend like 50 euros on a Cotes du roussillon, but it is a true gem!

    QOTD: 2006 Willakenzie Pinot Gris. Helped me remember how satisfying cheap white wine can be.

    Great show as always G! Always appreciated as it helps me through boring work days!

    QOTD: Tohu Sav Blanc 2005

    QOTD-Four Vines Naked Chardonnay 2005 from the Naked Show. This show and this wine have changed the way that my wife and I look at Chardonnay. She used to hate it and we would have to always get a Sauv Blanc or a Reisling which are great, but now we can vary the selections even further. Thanks for expanding our horizons.

    QOTD: The Riondo Prosecco you had on the show is an all time favorite of mine now. GOnna get me a TEE shirt now! Glad you did the Spanish episode, I’ve found them to be a little hit or miss, but will continue to seek them out!

    QOTD: Selvapiana Bucerchiale Chianti Classico Riserva 2003 really brought the thunder for me with pizza one evening a few weeks ago. It’s no wonder that it was one of WL’s top 5 of the year.

    2001 Pinino Brunello di Montalcino with La Tur cheese.

    Enjoyed very much, but not cheap!

    This is a kick-ass episode! Interesting! love this region of Spain and the wines that come from it. Very, very good QOTD! my answer to it is: 1999 Chateau Musar, from Lebanon. Loooong transition, amazing wine. 95 pts in my book. Gary Vaynerchuk you HAVE GOT to try this wine on the show!!! It’s a treat, very french, half way burgundy and bordeaux. Concepcion, my son Eduardo and I love you too!

    QOTD: I have had a lot of great wines over time. Even a few that were featured on the show. Sadly, I don’t feel like I have any had any that REALLY brought the thunder, but I will keep looking…

    Mahi Francis Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc. This quickly became a favorite of a group of us that share a bottle of wine after a long day of rock climbing in the Texas heat. Fortunately, I bought several bottles. Unfortunately, Winelibrary ran out of stock quickly and I couldn’t find it anywhere else.

    I’ve found many good wines by watching WLTV–here are some:

    Falesco 2004 Vitiano
    The Little Penguin Shiraz
    These brought the thunder:
    Corte Riva 2004 Merlot
    2003 El Nido Clio
    2005 Frédéric Mabileau St. Nicolas de Bourgueil Les Rouillères

    Cheers

    Forgot to Answer the QOTD. The Thundershow has inspired me to try wines from countries and regions that you don’t hear much about. For example. Vallone, Salice Salentino, from Puglia, Italy. Great Stuff and relatively inexpensive too.
