    QOTD 1: No, never even seen it available, I’ll look next time.

    QOTD 2: No, maybe my dad will stop in!

    This is one of the best “phoned in” episodes I’ve seen. Woo!

    I’ll be at WL on 3/29, is there anything happening in NYC afterwards?

    Never had one, but will surely seek one out!

    QOTD: I have had some Xarel’lo – on my day trip to Penedes last fall. Albet i Noya is my favorite producer over there and I think Can Feixes had a nice one too.

    Unfortunately can’t make it all the way to the right coast for 3/29, but I’m sending some friends your way…

    QOTD: Yes, I have had Xarel-lo before; it’s awesome. You can find Xarel-lo from a DO called Alella in Spain under the local name Pansa Blanc – it has a little fatness, and is perfect for shellfish. I push the Marques de Alella at my tapas bar quite a bit. This is the grape that makes Cava unique. It can have a little pine needles on the nose and a great acidity. Segura Viudas is another good producer of Xarel-lo (from the Penedes or Catalunya.)

    QOTD 2: Maybe. I have to work all day, but maybe I can swap – it doesn’t help that this is my ‘money night’ as a waiter.

    Awesome show! Thanks for Laid Back Friday!

    QOTD1: Never heard of it before, but I think it’ll be right up my alley!
    QOTD2: No! :,( It was a bit outta my price range for the tickets, rental car, and hotel. I’m thinking about making a pilgrimage to the Wine Lib in August though…

    And if I was there on 3/29, I’d *so* be bringing the Thunder!

    I’ve actually has Xarel-Lo before. It was in a blend with another grape, but I can’t remember what off of the top of my head. I do remember it being tasty. Won’t be making it to your party. I’m sure it will be fun.

    QOTD:
    1-I’ve read about it in The Wine Bible, but have never tried it or seen it at tastings or in stores.
    2-Really really wish I could make it to the crazy-awesome event! Sounds like it’ll be amazing! Too bad I have a business trip that week!

    I do, however, fully expect Mott to get his t-shirt! Before he’s old enough to retire, preferably! : )
