Finally opened the 2003 Cougar Crest Syrah Reserve. This wine, 5 months after you reviewed it, may even be better! 94 was conservative. This was truly a 95-96 point effort. Only sad news is: I won’t be able to come up with another bottle of ‘03. The 2005 Reserve Syrah, which was an alltime year for Washington, is still going for $19.95.

Thank you for introducing me to Cougar Crest….my resolution will be to go visit these guys.

Wow! Cougar Crest lifted prices up to 55 $ per bottle! Well, I know someone watching GV! Wht I had on NYE: Chateau des Annereaux Lalande de Pomerol 2000 - which was not as good as the 2003.

Build the cellar. Do the research. Find wines that need to be drank 5 years from now. Oh yeah, and watch my WLTV.

New Year’s Wine resolution, try to watch you in a more timely fashion, usually don’t get to view for a couple of days after the program, and to continue to learn as much as I can.

Great Episode!! No barbed wire tattoo here. Nothing against tattoos, but I just don’t feel the need for one… maybe someday, but it won’t be barbed wire.

QOTD: Splurge (for me), and get 2 or 3 pricey wines (which for me, means >$20). Probably a Brunello, maybe a Cab (Bordeaux?), maybe a Ribera del Duero, but throw some money down on 2 or 3 wines in the $40 range.

My New Years Wine resolution is to visit the Wine Library.
I am not saying this to be funny.
I lived in NC for 6 years and found a real good merchant that nurtured my palate and taught me a load about wines - Wine Merchants Gourmet in Winston-Salem, NC. They had weekly wine tastings, winemaker dinners, wine tasting dinners, etc.
I moved to the greater Boston area in 2006 and I have not found a shop that comes close to my NC wine store. The shops do not have the wide variety of QPR wines that I really like - sort of like the Cougar Crest you mention.

Therefore, I resolve to visit Wine Library to see if I can snatch up several cases of QPR wines!

Peace….

Gary,

I had Grower champagne on NYE. 375 of Margaine with the first three courses of my 6-course dinner. It really worked with the potato foam and caviar for course #3.
