Wow! Are you kidding me? I had the first two completely opposite. The Water Wheel tasted like watered down kool-aid to me and I loved the boarding pass. It was silky smooth hedonistic fruity pleasure. I decanted it for four hours though. I think that makes a big difference with these new world wines. They taste very hot and sharp at first but after letting them breathe for a long time they balance out and the fruit becomes very pure.

Great show. I’ve been lurking for a couple weeks, figured it was about time to leave a comment. I gotta say the “person from sophomore English class” comment might have been the best thing I’ve ever heard, even on wine library.

As for question of the day, as a Canadian, I’m afraid I care a lot more about the NHL playoffs starting than opening day of baseball, so I’m cheering for the Canucks.

Thank you Fukodome, for making this loss a little fun.

QOTD: Go Chicago Cubs! Living in Alaska the Cubs play @ 10:05 AM local time so I don’t get to watch many live broadcasts during the work week.

GV,

Can’t do Australian Shiraz. To much Alcohol for me. You got me intrigued by that Mitolo though. I might have to try that.

QOTD: No baseball in this house, just wines and kids…

Cubs! Fukodome seems to be the real deal, just need the other bats to help out.

Good show, I’m a little down on Shiraz, at least the over the top kind. But, seems like you found some goodies.

I was driving around to sales calls listening to the action on XM radio. I’m hooked on that Home Plate station. I’m a die hard Yankee fan but I don’t like their chances much this year. The champ will come out of the AL Central…either the Indians or the Tigers. They’ll both score a ton of runs. I’ll favor the Indians just a bit due to their bullpen.
