    Happy Holidays. I couldn’t wait until tomorrow. I had to tear into the wines now. Great show and very very educational. THANKS! Here’s my take on the wines:

    2006 Callac Blanc – I definitely picked up on the grass and lemons and even the banana peel. I confused it with pineapple at first, but it is banana. I detect a hint of ethyl acetate (nail polish remover). Creamy smooth on the palate just as Gary described with buttery lemon. Most interesting white I’ve had in a long time.

    2005 Lavagnac – YOUNG fresh fruity nose of cherries and raspberries. Nice fresh young fruit attack on the initial taste. I like the woodiness and tannins of this one. Slight earthiness on the roof of my mouth in the mid palate is nice. I wish the fruit hung on for just a little bit longer, but for $9 I’m not complaining.

    2005 Moulin de Lavaud – I got cherries meet strawberries on the nose. Soft tannins and medium bodied. I couldn’t get the red pepper out of it. I enjoyed the floral woody spicy finish.

    2005 Callac – Nice dark purple color. BIG nose of red plums, anise, and raspberries. You are spot on about the red fruits and roses. What a nice experience. Ends with a tannic dry wood that I like.

    Thanks for the experience. Great selections.

    Merry Christmas Gary + Mott + Crew!

    QotD – Actually I don’t twist anybody’s arm to watch this…i used to make my Fiance watch it, but she’s into CSI Las Vegas, so I just watch it by myself.

    Wishlist Comment – A WL in Los Angeles or Orange County CA

    Congratulations Gary on a fabulous 2007

    Never underestimate what you have acheived this year and what you alone have done for bringing wine out from its elitist hidey-ho and giving it back to the people.

    I wish you all the best for 2008, carry on doing that thing you do! Your friend,

    - Sarah Newton
