Interesting show. Really interesting. Kudos to Mr. Anderson.

QOTD1: My favorite thing about the 60’s is the Beatles and their music (and Motown is a close second place in my book).

QOTD2: As you already know, I could not make it on the 29th because I am on a business trip in Switzerland and I am extremely bummed that I missed the BIG EVENT.

QOTD: Most important thing about the 60’s for me was being born. 1965. Another big thing was the moon landing. I remember it. I was 4. Inspired me to be an astronaut. I didn’t quite make it but I pursued science and such.

QotD: Although I’m tempted to say Woodstock or Bob Dylan, my answer is different, if not related. My favorite thing about the 60s was that people felt they had a right and a responsibility to change things for the better. I won’t go into what is happening in the world today, but it just rankles me that people aren’t more upset about things.

Very nice, I would think that the Brett would be so crazy for those wines but you tasted mint. I wonder what causes that?

QOTD – Woodstock lasted for 4 days and my Dad was there for 5.

QOTD There is a quote “If you can remember the 60’s then you did not enjoy them!” Graduated high school 1968, Vietman, the love generation, first car (1953 Chevrolet BelAire)

A grand episode, Gary even though I probably will not taste such wines as these I have learned a tremendous amount from your experience.

Secret paks are totally cool. I’ve got 4 friends coming over to hear you for the first time! wow!
Thanks for telling what a cooked wine tastes like, that helped a lot. I had one the other day from Trader Joe’s – Cab Sauv. probably sat in the truck on a hot month. smile.
QOTD: my 64 VW, oh, i bought that in 70. ok, then, my first crush on a girl – Michelle, in 5th grade. Never had a date with her, but followed her around until 10th grade.
QOTD II: I won’t be there. oh, I wasn’t there. Timing is everything, ugh?

QOTD #1 – my first car, a 1966 Springtime Yellow Ford Mustang, straight 6, 3 speed automatic – very cool car for a 17 year old in 1988 and you could even work on it without a laptop connected to the car

Rob Perrelli, you are probably right about the fermenters as I just recently saw a redwood fermenter in an old storage barn at Stoney Hill winery. They no longer use that particular fermenter but it looked well used. Haven’t seen any redwood casks in a long time. The redwood taste is in all of my notes for Martini wines from the 60’s and 70’s. Actually, I got tired of the redwood taste and nose so we stopped buying Martini for that reason. Wish I head kept a few bottles just to compare but at the time I was still new to wine tasting and holding wines longer than 5 years would have been unusual for me.
