QOTD: Yeah I have had Xarel-lo from Torres, called Nerola which is a mix of Xarel-lo and Garnacha Blanca. Never clean Xarel-lo tho. And no:( sorry Gary not now, but someday I will make the trip to NJ to see your store.

Tried it? I haven’t heard of it! But it sounds right up my alley. I love a nice clean tasting white in the summertime, and I’ve been digging spain in a major way.

And, of course, in for the 29th, definitely. North Jersey, no excuses!

Great Show!!!

QOTD: Nope, never even heard of xare-lo varietal, but definitely seek out for future consumption.

No, Unfortunately I will not be able to make it on 3/29. I wish it was still 3/22 cuz then I would have definitely made it. But I do not have to be there to continue bringing the thunder cuz I bring it night and day no matter what.

QOTD : No i have not had Xarel-lo. To answer question 2, I wish I could come but I live in Dubai. If you’re planning something in the summer, I could hopefully stop by.

Gary, the format of the show now has really taken an upward swing. Xarel-Lo, amazing you presented this. I suspect most of our group would have not heard of this wine. As I metioned in an earlier post I recently completed and passed the Exam for WSET Level 3 Advance certification in Wine and Spirits. I only know of this based on my studies. The Thunder Show has really transformed to great education. Hats off! and Thumbs up! Great Show.

Geez–I wish I could be there for what sounds like the greatest rager of the 21st Century, but I cannot justify the trip from Iowa to my wife. ;(

I just added the Castell Roig to my wishlist. It sounds refreshing and delicious!

If I could, I would. But 3000 miles is a long way! Still If I did come I would bring a bottle of Frankenwein from Horst Sauer.

Short and sweet. QOTD: never had a Xarel-Lo but I do love Cava. D-lish. Sorry won’t be making it out to NJ for the Wine Lib fiasco. . . . the AW clique is awaiting your arrival on the West Coast for Taste Washington. We’ll see you in April.

qotd 1. I’m with Mott and have never heard of Xarel-lo. It’s now on my list w/Kosher wines, though.

qotd 2. Would love to experience the Xanadu that is WL….but, will not be there. Please do a taping throughout the day, that would be awesome and would certainly put a flame under those who are on the fence to make it next time.
