These Bordeaux wines are way overpriced are simply cant compare with Napa Valley wines.

No Joke…want to see what a Chateau Latour or Chateau Marguax taste like for around $30?

Take 1/2 each of the Robert Mondavi Napa Cab & Robert Mondavi Oakville cab and mix it together. These two wines creat an unreal blend where the synergies of these rare vineyards truly create a 1+1=3.

Wow….good show. Interesting to see the 2006 Mitolo GAM linked up as a wine below…

QOTD: I’d say the biggest opportunity I’ve had is working in the industry and picking up some really great wines at an amazing discount(-30%).

I was lucky enough to find the 04 Leoville Barton for $45 at Costco(they still have it,people in Bakersfield would rather drink wine from Paso Robles)and it has just blown me away on two occasions with a couple hours of decanting. Not a real concentrated wine but so well balanced and well made. It’s not over-extracted like so many wines these days,it doesn’t use Vanilla as the main flavor and bouquet component, its just delicious and of a higher breeding. It even showed up my previous favorite, Pontac Lynch on NCAA finals night.

So bummed to have missed your big party but I was in Spain….drinking wine of course! What a hotbed that country is! Just ordering the house wine gets you something really good….usually for under 10 Euro! Anyway, please consider having another WLTV party because I will make the trek to be there…would love to drink wine with you and the Wine Library crew!

Loved the show!! I had just uncorked a 2000 bordeaux and was drinking it while I watched. You are right about the palatte developing and I now find myself liking the more structured and balanced wines instead of the fruit bombs!!
