    QOTD: No Cabernet Franc experiences from France for me. My reason; LCBO. BIG store (provincially owned and operated). Only buys big labels.

    What a great episode, Gary. “Never lose that youthful jubilance.” THAT should go on a shirt. And it’s not poop wine, it’s -farmhouse matured- wine. My time in the UK’s taught me that one.

    Too bad Spain doesn’t sell french wines, so we have a Spanish Cab Fran. It was damn good, Thanks for hosting Gary…

    Top 5 I do believe. I’ll chime in later after the show with a *real* comment.

    (GV…thanks for the recommendation on the Ken Scelfo book yesterday. I’m on the hunt for it as we speak.)
