Vaynaic widdows – you kidding? Seiko and I watched this glorious ep’ huddled together against the radiator. It’s chilly here in the UK and drafty round our gaff but you and the wine are surely bringing us together. Snug!

Had a horrible cold so off the vino for a full week – Scotch, ginger and lemon all the way babes. This weekend, however, will be back in the crimson saddle, riding high with:

Vina Herminia Crianza 2004 – because I know its a great vintage, Waitrose (where I got it) are offering 33% off and don’t just put the duff stuff on sale (like Tesco)… so if it’s good might by a half case to stash.

Teichert Ranch Lodi California Barrel Reserve Petite Syrah 2006 – a rare US purchase because you guys tend to offer dismal QPR in the UK but I can’t honestly remember having drunk a single varietal Petite Syrah before (although I see this one is blended with the Sauzao grape?) and I figured it could be kinda interesting… but can you find it in Jersey?

Have a good one!

Great show, off the chains! Who needs coffee when we have you in the morning.

QOTD: We will be trying one of the 3 bottles I was able to find of the 2005 Phillips Hill Toulouse Pinot Noir. Can’t wait to give it a whirl.

Happy Easter!

This weekend, starting this evening my mom and I will be drinking the 2002 Enotria Dolcetto and the 2005 Vinum PETS Petit Syrah. I have never had either but the guy at the Wine Seller in WIlliamsburg Virginia, where we are vacationing, says they bring the thunder. We’ll see.

QOTD: Haven’t planned this weekend yet, was going to head to the wine shop this weekend. I was thinking a rose with the ham, but I’m also doing waffles and I’m unsure what goes with waffles with maple syrup.

Great show, Gary, and a first for me. I’ve had wines that you’ve had on the show before, but never so recently. Just had the Torbreck a couple of weeks ago at a steak house in Providence. My parents loved it, I was more on the fence. However, I will say it was much nicer when I brought home a little bit and drank a few days later. Thanks for your perspective.

GV…That Chante-Perdrix was sold out before the link was corrected and I, personally, couldn’t find it on the WL site. I was really, really, really hoping to get my hands on a couple of these. Heck, I even came to work 2 hours early in hopes that the link would be corrected and the fine CDP open for b’nezz. Alas, some of the more site-savy peeps beat me to it and gobbled it all up. Any more coming in. I called and put my name on a back order….as well as ordering 6 more from you guys (2 of the Pere Caboche btw).

Anyway…don’t mean to whine, but, this one wasn’t me snoozing and was really one I liked to get ahold of.

Thanks for listening.

qotd: not sure yet, but I picked up a bottle of a Moroccan Syrah by Alain Graillot called Syrocco that I’m superexcited to try…. if not that, perhaps cline 2005 cashmere.

That was a fantastic show. I don’t even need coffee in the morning if you keep bringing it with that energy level.

Great show, my wife thought it was her favorite one ever. What energy, did you eat about 500 pixie sticks and just let the sugar rush flow or what? Loved it!

QOTD: We are going to test some apparently good QPR wines this weekend to see how many more we need to buy.

Perrin & Fils Vacqueyras Las Chrisines 2005. Wine Spectator 91 Points, around 17 bones. Are you kidding me, a Rhone at this price and score if it brings the thunder its time to load up.

Hanna Chardonnay 2006 Russian River Wine Enthusiast 92 points around the same price. Great price for a California Chard. Please wines, Please bring the thunder.

Outrageously amazing show! Thank you GV!

We tried to watch last night during the Twin Cities Vayniac TTT event but there was a bit too much commotion to really follow along. Thank you for bringing us together.

QOTD: I’m going to cheat a bit and mention the fun little surprise I brought to last night’s tasting. Marumoto Shuzo Hana Hou Hou Shu sparkling sake. It comes in a cute little pink bottle and it’s delicious! If you can find it I recommend giving it a try.
