Is it weird that Im happy the wine from my state won the tasting today? Cant help it… Love seeing those Washington wines bring it! DOTD: Havent done it yet, but I always tell my friends online around the country that I love them ( parents, too). QOTD: Furmint. Those Tokaji aszu wines are simply magical.

I was disappointed to see the poor showing of the Alban Rousasane as like you it is one of my favorite white grapes. Is this part of the alcohol creep we have seen so much about? I had a Zind recently that the bottle said was 16.2% but it was a port to me at 17-18%. Had one GewÃ¼rtztraminer from Stoney Hill winery that I really liked and the style wasn’t too floral with green tea and chamomile aspects to it.

Manage to make my girlfriend feel special on Valentines despite her being in Cali and me being in Burgundy so I consider that spreading the thunder.

QOTD: Muscadet de Sevre et maine, nice inexpensive white that would seem to go great with some sort of sea food. A nice find

GV – I agree with your sentiments. To take it a step further, the order of all in life is God (whomever you pray to), Family, Work. If you get this out of balance, you will feel empty.

I say “I love you” to my wife and 4 kids every day, which is why I am not a Valentine’s Day celebrator.

White Wine Shout Out – Albarino, or Rioja Bianco.

Gary,
This was a great episode — I love Alban’s wines — but good to know on the pass — I just got the Ash Hollow today from Wine Library — they were nice enough to get some more in when it was sold out. I love it — and it is like sucking on a box of lemonheads. Thanks for the tip.

Any score from the Wine Enthusist I take with a grain of salt. From the free state of Pa.
