OMG! Just had the 04 Delas Herimtage Bessard last night, I have to say that it’s the most balanced and well made wine I’ve ever tasted. The balance is crazy and combined with a ton of subtle lovely nuances it makes it almost worth the price tag ($110 is still quite above my normal range).

  • Gary great show

    Haven’t had any US Grenache, but my favourite New World examples are from the good growers of the Mclaren Vale – Samual’s Gorge is my current passion, you’d love it.

    QOTD: Super what???

    WOW…….I don’t think I have ever seen such a swing in mood as just happened here. The Hermitage to the last P.S. what a swing. Your face said a thousand words. I am not a huge butter bandit guy, but on occassion I can find a creamy Chard that hits the spot. Had one the other day that was buttery, but also full of pineapple. It was a nice flavor combo.

    QOTD: Giants 17 Pats 27

    I feel your pain……as a Lions fan we are used to getting our handed to us.

I sent in a picture of myself with the black one…but would love to have another to flaunt at tastings…

  • Hey there WLTV,
    OK, GV, you have done it, finally brought me out of Lurkerdom. It’s great to see the show kicking with renewed energy as it approaches 400. I watch here in Japan, although I hail from South Aussie. Speaking of which, when I worked in the industry throughout the nineties, the big cult wines of the Barossa V were the Hill of Grace and Grange. I hear nothing of these wines now, what happened do you think. I have loved wine for a long time, and used to work as a sommelier (Aussie style). Just wanted to say, Cheers mate! I have learnt so much from watching WLTV and it sates my appetite for wine talk, because let’s face it, outside of the industry it is an exy hobby! Shame really.

    QOTD: PATS BABY!! (but I’m watching this on Sunday night and am both exremely surprised and depressed by the reality that the damn Giants somehow pulled it off at the end, and the Pats had a crappy game…the kind of game that they have one in every, say, 19 or so games…WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THIS ONE??!! Damn it!)
