Hi,

I have just read your post and would be grateful if you could tell me where the information came from ?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi all,

feel free to visit our website and discover 19 Madiran winemakers

The origin of the group is technical, Laplace and cowinemakers ahaving mutualised an oeanolog an approach.

They opened an outlet in the village of Madiran in 2005. I am now the proud shop keeper, salaried by this fantastic group.

If you ever come to Madiran, feel free to come to the shop for a tasting and discovery of 38 Madiran and around 30 Pacherenc du Vic Bilh (White Madiran !!!)

Love to see more Portugese wines....and nice song....

MY NAME IS ROB RYAN TOO!!! but ididnt put up no flyers i would have remembered that and i only started watching the show a month again....So OTHER ROB RYAN...if you are out there say hi to me

Good value show. I need to get expensive wines out of my heads and dive into the little gems. QOTD: Yeah, im messed up. Dont like seafood..... I KNOW!!!

Thanks Gary, I hope to find that Carm Douro.

QOTD - None

QOTD: Fresh scallops from Great Mercury Island (40min boat ride from home, we free dive in 30ft and collect em) fried up with a little butter, garlic and lime juice served with a Peagesus Bay Reisling. Yum!

Great show!
Love the "different wines" from unsung regions.
I think that I have mentioned this before, but I had these mussels on the west coast of France once that were served in a white wine, garlic, and light cheese sauce that were amazing.
Other than that - scallops all the way with a Puligny-Montrachet!

I am the favourite shellfish, wether you like or not!

Gr8 GV!! One of your best. You were indeed on point.
Sorry about taking so long to get around to watching this one, hope my comments don't get lost. I'm with you on the Viognier, most have the problem of falling off on the finish. Your description intrigues me and I'll have to try it. Did you ever try the La Grange Voignier I sent you?
Good info on the Tannat. I'll have to send you a bottle of ours, hope you like it.
Exploring wine is my favorite past time and hobby so this show was a treat.
QOTD: mmmm tough choice since so many are so good. Either lobster or scallops. Probably lobster.

QOTD: scallops. No, maybe lobster. No, scallobster! (scallopster?)

My favorite shellfish dish was served to me out in the western part of France in a town named La Baule. They have a restaurant that serves mussels (moules en francais) in a white wine and light cheese sauce. Finger lickin' good!

I love shellfish...New England Area has the best......

I was of course talking about the wine from the Languedoc-Roussillon.

This wine kind of worries me. I would try it, though. Sounds like it is a little flawed. Hint, too much Brett! The fruit bomb aspect tells me it is a little imbalanced, hence a high pH combined with dirty barrels. Voila! Rustic Wine!

Yes....Derek tried Carm thanks to mioux!!! And I ...thanks to Gary VAYnerCHUCK!!! Awsome wine! Viva Portugal!

There's this restaurant in Sorrento, Italy creatively called "The Sorrento Inn" where, for seven Euro, you can get a mountainous plate of incredibly fresh clams or mussels with an insane amount of garlic. It's pretty much the best thing ever.

QOTD: Galveston Bay oysters fresh off the boat in the middle of the winter. Also love the king crab when the legs are big enough and it is properly prepated so you can get all that sweetness and then counter with a nice Champagne.

Great show. I love learning about all of these under-appreciated wines.

Looking forward to more content in the upcoming eps, school me GV!!!

Q - We don't eat shellfish in Ohio, at least I don't, if it's from the sea it's probably not for me.

Just had a bottle of carm last night thanks to you Gary and it was GREAT..

QOTD: oysters is my favorite.

Great Epsiode; I am looking forward to trying these distinct and different wines.
This episode truly shows what "brining the thunder" is all about.

Nice work GV and CM.

Great episode Gary, i love hearing about wine regions other than those frequently discussed. QOTD: Lobster

GV.....must say that this was a fun episode.....(all the way up to the song.....that was kind of uncomfortable). How in the world did you manage to find 4 wines that knocked it out for this episode. I am headed to our a few of our local wine shops this evening before my b-day dinner tonight. I will try to find any of these four to try.

Grilled shrimp marinaded in lots of fresh garlic, rosemary, olive oil and salt.

QOTD; Must say, kamchatka crab (Russian King Crab) is a favorite. And, as Norway is a major producer of it, it's easy to get superb quality of it:-)

I don't really shellfish, I'd say blue crab if I had to pick (does that count as shellfish?)

THINly sliced and fried abalone sandwich.

Boo... Cracking show Gary.Good to hear that your taking the thunder to the south. I've been waiting!

QOTD: Snow Crab Legs, baby!

Great show.

QOTD: Blue Point Oysters on the 1/2 shell.

King Crab...and I don't mind paying for it after watching "The Deadliest Catch" on Discover.

Whooooooa Gee !!!
Bringin' da Thunder wit' some extremely interestin' QPR Vino !!!
An cool place to explore: SW France & Portugal !!

QOTD: i makes da best Deep-Fried Shrimp !!! Yeeeaaah !!! :)

Late, I know...but I gotta stick up for my Packers! Yes, they do not have a ring, this year. But Favre has one, the team 3, for a total of 12 world championships. Anybody else got that? Nope! Secondly, I would root for the Jets if or when you buy them! It's a shame I can't say the same for the Packers. They are the only publicly franchised team in the NFL. Until Preseason...GO PACK!

Great show!

QOTD Crawfish, followed very closely by Antoine's Oysters Rockefeller. Just had some crawfish with a nice Chambolle-Musigny on Lundi Gras, it was wonderful!!

I love shellfish but being from the Houston area I guess I'll have to go with the sentimental favorite of fried Gulf shrimp. However, I'll never turn down some crab or good oysters or steamed clams or crawfish or or or...

When the show casts Petit Verdot as the smashing agent for the primary bum, then our votes will get smushed into a sort of grape jam with heavy tannic monster

PORTUGAL, S.W.FRANCE !
This is happening this is the thunder!
REMEMBER lighting strikes where you leased expect it!

The king of crab. I know not as flavorful as dungeness, but there is really something to be said for crackin' that leg open and pulling out a huge chunk of meat!

QOTD: Lobstah! Littleneck clams are a close second.

Shell fish not kosher I couldn’t tell you my favorite. Oh and neither is Sarah Silverman. ;)
