    QOTD: I’ve been drinking a lots of red fruit bombs and entry level old world dry/off-dry whites, i think i might try a bit more old world red, eg moderately priced bordeaux, indigenous italian red and white wines, and maybe some single village white burgundy. Whether or not my palette likes it, that’s what it’s getting!

    I love the end of the video. Vivian is adorable and will probably kicking wines tails in years from now. QOTD: Enjoying reds a lot more. Wasnt a fan of them at all a year ago and that has slowly changed as I drink more and better red wines.

    The store I work at in CT focuses a lot on mid ranged wines. We have many at the $10 mark. Who says you have to spend money to get a decent bottle? Caymus can blow it out the back end…

    Great video at the end. I had the urge to sniff the screen, but stopped short. :)

    QOTD: All over the map. My top wine priority is “wines made from grape varieties I have never tried”

    Yeah sniffted, got sucked in. My monitor needs a clean down, smells bad. Kinda funky, southern Rhone-esqe.

    QOTD: Intersting Q, started out as a big, bold, brash cab sauv guy. Was a suttle flowery aromattics guy for a bit. Then anything crazy was a must. Now a wine for me has to be well balanced friut/tannin/acidity with a good nose too. Am leaning towards bigger wines again in terms of structure but really love some age in bottle. Then again might change on a whim, my mood, the weather, if Joba is going to be a starter or bullpen, who knows. The one thing i do know is that there will be a wine that will suit me.

    I’ve been huge on old world for a long time, so I have a feeling that I’m going to be shifting towards either sweeter wines or distilled wines that have been aged on oak for a while. Or maybe i’ll just stay the course.

    Wish I could have smelled it, but did not try and sniff, run into to many times that I’ve tried to sniff.

    QOTD: No idea where my palate will be in the next year, it just keeps on evolving, lets hope that continues as it has been.

    I use the Castle Rock Reserve Cab as the benchmark for over oaked when someone is having difficulties isolating the oak influence in wines.

    I am so happy that I can buy a shirt now without any problems at checkout….thanks for fixing that Gary, you the man!!

    QOTD: my palet is getting better and better every month.

    QOTD – I see my palate continuing to expand into different varietals and regions of the world. Less pinot and less California.

    totally sniffed.

    Nope, my nose did not move closer to the monitor. I still feel a little stupid from licking the monitor when you poured some wine for us.

    QOTD: I think in a years time, my palette will be more appreciative of whites. I have avoided them, being frightened off by what I think was the Oak Monster. But with your gentle guidance, I am going back for an adventure.

    QOTD: I see my pal beginning to enjoy more red wines, and getting further into old world wines. I have gradually grown away from sweet whites, never really been into chards, but then into new world reds. Hopefully I can make a good run at it.
