QOTD: WORK! but sunday I will relax and enjoy a day off of work and school. Maybe not school because I have exams next week but it will be nice to not have to work.

-wouldn’t they really have to be getting frisky in like May or June. Oh well maybe 4 month pregnancy’s are common in that family.

-Negative on the Faugeres, never even heard of it until now.

I love laid back Fridays!

QOTD: Sadly I have to work all weekend and am away from my wife and daughter. The only upside (small at that) is that I found a Oklahoma Merlot – Tidal School 03 and for 10 bones it is pretty damn good!!!

Never had a Faugeres yet but intend to thanks to this episode. This weekend we’re driving from Montreal to Quebec city (250 Km) to visit family, drink vino, and check out the famous winter Carnaval of Quebec. Cheers.

QOTD: working saturday… braising my first ever rabbit (hey, wine isn’t the only place to expand the palate!) and having some fine (well… for me fine) spanish wine — which, of course, I haven’t had yet… it’s 40% carinena? Never heard of that, but it should be interesting!

QOTD #1-Nope!

Gary, Where do you keep coming up with these great wines. You know I love the pepper profile and I go crazy and broke trying to keep up with you. I don’t ever recall having a wine from this region so will “seek it out”. Have a great time in Boston.

great….another wine I have to go find now, ha. Just kidding, great show as always. I wish I could go to Boston, especially since there will be some models there. Oh well, have a great time!

QOTD: No, never had a wine from Faugeres. Does anyone know if there is any relation to the Faugeres of Bordeaux?

Gary, nice mellow show . Have never had Faugeres, but sounds interesting (sardine juice)? Hey Gary ever thought about the WLTV road show? Fly into a different city once a month and hang with Vayniacs?

Have a great weekend!!

I actually had one of these maybe….. 20-25 years ago. I remember it (with notes) as you described it except for a dose of road tar in the oldie. It was about 10 years old, I think. Jadis or not?!?! I don’t remember. Great show!!!

QOTD: Homework: tasting the ‘04,’05,’06 Domaine La Garrigue to decide if more of the ‘06 is a good thing. And boning up on calculus (Yikes!)
