    QOTD: Kuehn-Schiele, 2004 Alsace, Gewurztraminer. I think it had an artificial cork, and had a bit of age on it. Golden colour, medium/sweet. A big too much residual sugar for me, but this it was my first gewurz, so i’ll have to try an off-dry or dry one!

    Welcome back Gary ( funny me saying this since its 9 months or so old and Im watching several episodes a day to catch up. To me you never really left. ANYWAY….), I hope you had a great time in France. QOTD: If you want to be as technical as possible, just a cheap Cavit merlot. Put it in some ground beef to season a hamburger. I know its nothing spectacular but even a cheap red wine can add some flavor to a sauce or meatballs/meatloaf.

    qotd: panarroz 2006 gsm blend definitely brings the thunder for me, especially under 10 bones, but i like spanish fruit bombs…

    Gary!

    I’m no lurker. Ok. I am.
    Discovered you on Hulu by accident a week ago or so and have gone through a lot of the archive really enjoying your show. Wine is such a neat experience.

    The wine I had last (finished the bottle seconds ago) is a Bordeaux from the Bernardo Winery here in San Diego CA. It’s not bad, I enjoyed it. Coffee and Tea are my expertise and I’m starting to learn the intricacies of vino.

    Since starting to watch your show I’ve really discovered that the white wines are really good. I thought I only enjoyed reds but I’m starting to realize I’m a fan of the Sov. Blanc, the Riesling, etc. It’s pretty cool. I also tried by first red Zin which was totally crazy. (Orfila wineries in Escondido).

    THanks for all of your hard work. Keep it up.

    QoTD: A question that at N00b like me can answer. I had the Estancia Chardonnay 2006 and it did bring the thunder, especially since I hated Chardonnay before and now I’ll give it a shot again.

    Great show. Thanks for encouraging us to try new things.

    Gary, I don’t want to be labeled a lurker. I’m just behind in watching because I’ve been moving.

    QOTD: On the night I moved into my new place, I celebrated with a bottle of Torley Fortuna. It is a Hungarian sparkling white, and it brought serious thunder!!

    QOTD: Drank 2005 Blackstone Zinfandel…didn’t bring the thunder, but it was a gift, so I won’t be purchasing this one!

    Really good words tonite Gary! Thanks for being fresh and impassioned!

    I Don’t have a wine blog. I did open an 05 Domaine De La Chanteleuserie from Bourgueil tonight in honor of the Cab Franc fest Gary has created. So, not that I am an expert, but here are my notes :

    Color deep garnet, very dark and opulent looking. Did not get a chance to let this bottle breathe, but the nose is of a freshly opened sack of chemical lawn fertilizer. Another sniff and I think it’s Scotts Turfbuilder III. After a while that has gone away a bit and given way to some nice cassis and frozen peas. The dryness is huge! This thing has what seems like massive tannins, however it is a bit hollow in the midpalate. It does have a long finish and is very expressive of a place. No stinkyness, very clean, but intense almost like a hot pepper sauce on the finish. This wine has real character. 90 points.

    Hey, Gary, I’m a West Orange gal who loves the Wine Library! Got this Chinon from your shelves…wrote my post before I saw you review the same wine. Thanks for opening up our palates to this very different wine. Here’s my post: http://loveswine.blogspot.com/2008/04/wbw-44-french-cabernet-franc.html
