    Working on New Years eve- so no vino.

    Thanks for going outside the box. How about the Jura sometime?

    Did Mott fall asleep there in the middle?!

    QOTD – It should be a sparkling entry into 2008 I have some Pink Prosecco, some Cava and some Champagne (yes, “Growers” even though we don’t use that term over here) all ready to open.

    You’ll hate me for this but since New Years Eve is my fiance’s birthday we’ll have her all time favorite which is the great Martini and Rossi Asti Spumante. Just to switch it up though i’m definitely going to be enjoying one of my favorites, the 2002 Laurona Monstant. The way these cru beaujolais have been described makes me think they would be perfect for me so i’m going to go seek one out. I have to admit that sugar water swill is all that comes to mind when I think of those wines.

    People like shiz…deal with it. It’s the way of the web. Nice shout to Stand By Me…one of my all time top 10 movies – a classic!

    Shut your mouth when you’re talking to me! Couldn’t help it.

    QOTD: Kind of steppin’ on your buddy William Rhodes’ toes with that one. But it is New Year’s after all, so multiple questions are understandable. I haven’t committed yet, but we are going to a well known steak restaurant so probably a bottle of 2002 Hourglass Chardonnay, the Argyle bubbler I mentioned before, and maybe a nice Oregon/Cali Pinot…or a Washington Syrah.

    QOTD: I’m not sure what I’m drinking yet. I really do wanna get some type of sparkling wine which is out of the norm.

    QOTD: Gratien and Meyer Cuvee Flamme. No clue what it is, but one of our friends has given it to my dad the last two years, and we’re afraid when he comes over he’ll see it on the shelf AGAIN! Also a 2001 Chateau Filhot I send my parents from WL!

    I’ve been in Mexico, sans internet, and not being able to watch WLTV made me saaaad. However, getting to watch 5 new episodes in a row was pretty cool! Merry belated christmas and a happy New Year!

    New Year’s – bringing a number of wines for a formal tasting at the party. Leaving the bubbly to others, but they have taste, so I am optimistic.

    QOTD: we’re going around the world of sparkling wines. we’ve got a magnum of cava from albet i noya, a magnum of prosecco from drusian, and three bottles of grower’s champagne: NV Philippe Gonet Rosé Brut, 2002 Leclerc Briant Rubis de Noirs Brut, and NV Michel Arnould & Fils Grand Cuvée Brut Grand Cru. once it gets late, we’re turning towards the Gary V QPR wines: black pig albarinos and all of the rhone rebels.

    Great episode Gary, I must say that my first real intro to red wine was Beaujolais and we paired it with some strips of steak that we cooked on trhe grill with my wife’s secret recipe for marinade. It was the hit of the party that night. Every tasting we have done since it has been the most requested item. I have never had a Cru, but I am definitely going to seek it out for our next tasting.

    QOTD: Not sure what I will be drinking. Probably will go to the store today and walk around for an hour or so and then find something that I will try.

    QOTD: GROWER CHAMPAGNE!!! HOW could I have missed suggestion after suggestion about where the quality and value is in the Sparkling and Champagne category by now?

    QOTD: grower’s cuvee!! sparkling rose from Henry of Pelham. that’s for apps and possibly first course depending on how well it stands up. Serving it only mildly chilled I want to dive into it face first, love it hug it squeeze it george. For into 08, I picked up a vintage huet. I’ve been a strictly top of my budget JP, cliquot, moet guy for awhile on new year’s, thought I’d change things up a little. no I haven’t seen sideways, i understand there’s some vouvray connection there – WHATEVER. still deciding on what will go with the lamb best.

    No way!! Steak with a white? must be pretty good. I know what you mean about finding new and interesting pairings. Thanks for the info, I’ll try it.
    What am I drinking on New Years, it really doesn’t matter, could be Christalino @ $6.00 or Dom P. I’ll be with family and that’s the important thing. Have a safe one with yours and again, thanks for all your hard work throughout the year.
    Sincerely Al

    QOTD: I’m going to a multi-course dinner so we’ll be drinking a whole host of wines but my recent find and an excellent QPR is the Lucien Albrecht Cremant d’Alsace Brut! Killer great bubbly for $15 bones.

    I appreciate the review of the Matassa. I am definitely interested in trying that type of wine. I only recently tried Viognier and more recently noticed a viognier/muscat blend in the store. I will go back for it. As for what I am drinking on New Year’s Eve, I had not thought about it, but now I want to try some Grower’s Champagne. Thank you for tonight’s show!

    QOTD

    Not sure yet, maybe an agrapart NV blanc de blancs terroirs, or a drappier zero dosage 100% pinot noir, or maybe I can convince my wife to let me buy something new…
