QOTD: My wife and I take care of foster children, and due to a series of circumstances we’ve suddenly grown from two kids to five, and we need to find a new home to accommodate them all (our current two bedroom place just doesn’t cut it). So I will be house hunting this weekend. That, and having a big family dinner on Sunday afternoon.

I always enjoy when you show footage of your travels. Thanks for sharing!

QOTD: I will be having my roommate’s sister and her boyfriend over for an early Easter dinner tomorrow. Sunday I will be going to my parents to celebrate the holiday. I will be brining a bottle of wine but not sure what yet… probably something white since they seem to prefer that. Perhaps a simple bottle of ‘05 Arona Sauvignon Blanc.

Really liked seeing the footage from the vineyard! Nice stuff. I’ll have to seek out that wine!

QOTD: Well the parents were going to be in town, but bad weather on both ends have nixed that. So I’ll be finishing homework and the like.

Thanks Gary!

I tried the ‘04 SJDB tonight too. Funny thing is, I liked it better than the ‘03. I thought you were a little generous on the ‘03 and a little hard on the ‘04. You are right that the ‘03 had more fruit, but the ‘04 I thought was much more complex. Both had the big time bacon fat thing going on real strong.

Thanks again.

QOTD: lots of family!

QOTD – Pretty standard Easter weekend with the family & some friends coming over for Easter dinner – who are having their kitchen remodeled.

GV -See my post to yesterdays QOTD – we are serving up the 2003 L’Oligocene for Easter – posted before todays episode came on- Are we on the same wavelength or what? I have to say, watching the video today, I got the feeling that if you hadn’t already tasted the 2003, you probably wouldn’t have rated the 2004 quite as high – that is one of the beauties of a video review – that you can read between the lines, especially after watching you on many, many shows. SO – if you have the 2003 on hand, have it & the 2004 over the weekend & get back to us next week with your thoughts. I will post our tasting notes on this show & the 2003 show.
