Great show, I love it when the theme is of the episode is non-napa united states greatness. BTW thanks for the Holiday pack, my dad loves it. I had an Idea for a pack from this episode for people new to wine “Gary’s educator pack”. You should put together a pack of wines that have a new world vs old world vs wine you need to put away.

QOTD: No tattoo, especially the barbed wire. Barbed wire is the second dumbest tattoo you can get, number one your initials.

Next year I am going to actually going to keep a cellar instead of letting my friends come over and drink it all.

Hey, dear Gary. This is gooooood.

QOTD: For New year, 2008, I will taste wines from all over the world, as much as I can, and share those nice ones with my wife.

For the new year eve~~, 2 bottles has been settled, while more is still to come. A 1998 Medoc Cru Bourgeois; and a 2005 Bordeaux Chateau Grand Ferrand from Entre-Deux-Mers, which is a 100% Merlot.

Gary you are right~ The 2005 vintage allows a lot of small producers to release nice wines. I tasted Chateau Grand Ferrand yestoday and rated it 85+, the same score I gave Chateau Senejac 2004, the Medoc Cru Bourgeois. But the Chateau Grand Ferrand is just around 7 euro. That is a bargain. And not the first I’ve got from 2005 Bordeaux. Thanks for your suggestion! It is working.:)

Gary…. GREAT SHOW! Like always. I just wish I knew about winelibrary earlier when I listened to wine stewards in stores and bought bad wines. Now, Im in a streak of buying good wines, tasting good and new stuff, and saving money. Really appreciate what you did on the 12 days of christmas, (discounts and free shipping) I really did took of advantage that.
I have two new years resolutions. 1) To try at least 200 new wines during next year. 2) And visit Wine Library at New Jersey.

Another Great Episode. I’ve always felt that Washington State would surpass California.
