    Loved the description of tanat GV! I’m gonna have to search that out! sounds like it’s up my alley.

    P.S. This is the greatest day of my wine drinking life! I just found out that Wine Library actually ships to my state! Oh man you guys totally have a new customer!

    QOTD: LOBSTER!

    Great show GV thanks.

    QOTD: Lobster, without a doubt.

    Dude, Please, please, please don’t make that the theme song to winelibrary TV.

    GV,
    If you want to try some good Tannat that is produced in the good ole US of A, try Tablas Creek out in West Paso Robles. They are the sister winery to Beaucastel in the Rhone and make a lot of single varietal bottlings that are really good including the aforementioned Tannat.

    Scallops …with Cuilleron Les Chaillets Condrieu. Oh. Sorry you didn’t ask with what wine – I guess that’s gonna be what’s coming up??

    Still loving the show (though VODKA??!) Roll on 400 more…

    King Crab Legs with butter. YUM.
    Although I had a petite lobster and gnocci dish in Santa Fe that I’ll never forget.

    QOTD: Don’t come the raw prawn GV, prawns would have to be the tippiest toppiest shellfish for me. Although I also love Yabbies!

    Just reviewing some TN’s I made at a NZ tasting about 4 months before I discovered WLTV, oh how I wish I was making better notes back then, I mean once they’ve been deciphered they were really really very poor back then.

    Great show Mister V.! Still waiting for my 1998’s Madiran in my cellar.

    QOTD: King Prawns all day long! Together with a nice butter-riesling sauce,
    salt+pepper+garlic.. YUM!

    Great episode!

    QOTD: Muscles no contest. Some may get into raw oysters or the complex with central nervous systems like crabs and lobsters, but they’ve got nothing on a nice platter of Muscles.

    Speaking of interesting odors, I once had a boxed pinot gris that filled the room with the distinctive smell of slightly rotten fish when poured. Not a nice nose. Some thing had obviously gone wrong, as by all accounts it was a fairly decent wine, even in the box. So, if a corked wine can be “corked”, does a box wine get “bagged”? What about a screw capped wine? Screwed???

    QOTD: I love scallops, especially seared, but almost any way will do. Also really enjoy mussels, particularly if the sauce is right.

    QOTD: shellfish aren’t kosher, but i like fresh scallop sashimi style with lemon and soy sauce. don’t tell my grandmother

    QOTD: I’m gonna have to go with raw oysters and a touch of hot sauce on this one. Maybe just a tiny amount of fresh lemon too.

    QOTD: I’m allergic to shell fish, but I like lagostino lobster:)( I dont get a big reaction but got to be carefull anyway)

    A solid episode. I’m very interested in that Viogner. Pig guts? Dude you have a photographic olfactory memory.

    QOTD: Jumbo shimp cocktail, cooked until just pink with cocktail sauce loaded with lemon & horseradish. With a good riesling of course. Can’t get enough.

    Gary, I’m unable to thank you for the CARM. Why’s that, you ask? Well, because it’s out of stock no more than 6 hours after you posted the show.

    Please, get some more so we can thank you!

    qotd: Clam
