    I really liked the 2006 Premiado Torrontes that was in the Thanksgiving four pack!

    QoTD: The Thunder show has kept me interested in trying new areas. The wine that stuck out for me this year was a 2002 Kilikanoon Reserve.

    Nice show Gary
    I must say that before I found you on the web last spring I didn’t know anything about wine. So every wine I have bought since has had your influence behind it. QOTD Selvapiana Bucerchiale Chianti Classico Riserva 2003 with a nice meal with the family. It was very nice.

    QOTD – 2005 Ladera Sagrada Castello do Papa Godello – knocks my socks off!

    QOTD ‘04 Turn Bull Cab recommended by Gary V was out of this world. Silky smooth.

    I got a few bottles of Urbana from WL and thought it stunk. How can JM rate it a 90? Was his palete out for a walk or did he mix up his tasting notes? Not sure what to do with the other two bottles – maybe if I leave it alone for a few years it may settle down some.

    QOTD: I have had several bottles from WL that I thought rocked. Best value – the Ercavio 2005. Deep old world taste – La Vieille Cure Fronsac 2000. Best overall, smooth and delicious – Victoria Dominio de Longaz 2004 – all sold out, getting any more?

    great show.
    BTS (before thunder show) i would have never gotten into white wine. I just wasn’t interested. thanks to your recommendation i now love NZ Sauv. Blanc.
    But…
    Specifically, the last wine I had because of WLTV and would have never tried otherwise and was “radool” was the Aglianico Del Vulture.
    thanks for all your hard work putting out the show.

    QOTD: 2005 Zardini Valpolicella.

    I can definitely be described as someone with a new world palate. The vast majority of my purchases are California, Oregon, Washington, Chile, and New Zealand. This valpolicella, purchased at the recommendation of the show, brought the thunder to me in big way. I have definitely made the decision to start incorporating more old world wines into my rotation.

    I may not be changing the wine world much, but the Thunder Show is changing me.

    QOTD: I watched the episode on Italian wine and was curious, so I bought a Barberra and it was magical. Hey Gary please taste the Tre Donne Barberra ( I know you will read this) cause that is the wine that rocked my socks off!!

    QOTD: 1975 Cabernet. No, not 1975 vintage, but Seventy five wine company Cabernet. Watched an old episode. I thought this wine was great!

    Good show…thought I was going to buy both wines until your final comments on the Aster. I will wait for the show on premium Ribera’s.
    QOTD: ‘03 O’Shaughnessy Cab, really did the trick. Smooth and quite polished.

    Hey GV the 2005 Peacock Ridge Merlot rocked my socks off. Tried it after you reviewed it and just loved it. I just spent a good portion of my afternoon catching up on the last 7 shows, and I liked your tour of NYC hot spots. You should do shows from different cities when you travel; give people a taste of different places to hit up. It would kind of be like the travel channel meets WLTV. Keep it real.

    The Nimes wine from 10-12 episodes back that I ordered and drank up all 3 bottles in 4 days. I’m not home so I don’t have the exact name in front of me.
    Glad you had one red today that got a decent score, Out of the last 6red wines only one good one. Kind of disappointing but I’m glad you suffer through them so I reduce the crapshoot.

    Re-watching the steak show b/c that is what came up in my feed, something go wrong on the back-end?

    I don’t believe you tried it on WLTV but I tried the Benedicte De Rycke Jasnieres 2004. Thought it brought the thunder so I bought a case.

    QOTD: actually, there are a LOT of wines that have rocked my world that I would’ve never even known about if it weren’t for the ThunderShow. Dozens, easily. I have discovered more fantastic QPRs from this show than I could’ve ever found in a lifetime. If I had to pick my favorite, it would be the 2003 CASTANO HECULA (episode 76) even though you under-rated the 2004 (episode 286) even though it still brings me the thunder like the 2003. In fact, all the bargain price-point Spanish Monastrell that WL has promoted (e.g., Alto Almanzora Este; Olivares Altos de Jumilla, etc) has delighted me to no end. I am a Yecla / Jumilla / Alicante FIEND.

    QOTD: 2005 Mano a Mano, because its the one wine I have had both pre- and post- discovery of The Thunder Show.

    The Wolftrap.

    QOTD: Cayuse En Chamberlin 2004. Easily one of my top five wines of the year. Incredible nose, reminded me of Hermitage. Delicious. Wish I could get more. Maybe in a few years I will have waited long enough to actually be on their mailing list. Thanks for the heads up Gary!

    Most suprising wine I’ve tried this year is the 2005 Broc Grenache Dry Sack Vinyard. It really turned me on to grenache.

    QOTD: 2004 Domaine Le Galantin Bandol (great WLTV episode and “eye-palate opener”. Thanks GV.
