MOTT!!!!!!!! How could you!? Gary I love how you try to make him feel a lifetime of shame. Good humor there and I hope everyone else got it. QOTD: Its actually a Saturday, but Im just going to chill at home and eat a light dinner.

QOTD: I’m watching the MLB All-Star game…wondering what type of reaction the NY fans give Joshy Hamilton when he gets up to the plate.

Couldnt agree more with you on the Justin. Iâ€™ve had several vintages of the Iscosceles and have never been wowedâ€“especially for the price. I think their other wines, in particular, the Savant and Temperillo Reserve, are a much better wine. Great show.

Gary, I am a bit behind in watching your shows but I just watched this episode #447 and saw that you were bummed out about the red wine stain on your carpet. Way to go Mott! No worries. My wife spilled a glass of red wine on our light colored carpet and we used Spotshot on it and if you look at it today you would never know anything was spilled on the carpet. It took it right out, it was magic. Give it a try and let me know how it works.

BTW, love the show! I live in Washington State and was hoping to catch up with you at the Taste of Washington this year but was unable to make it. Maybe next year.

Cheers,
Lavon

Here about a week and a little plus later but oh well you know you love comments.
QOTD: I was just getting back from a week and a half long tour of the south of France which included tasting at some incredible chateaus in St. Emilion. I met with some friends in Chalon Sur Saone. Fun stuff

Not a big fan of Justin.
I also know how bad it can stain a carpet.

QOTD – lots of yard work because the temp in New England is finally fit for human habitation!

Hey GV! I’m a lurker coming out of the woodwork just for you.

QOTD: Friday night I went to the Gallery Stroll in Salt Lake City, then out for sushi and beer after that. It was a lot of fun.

I wish lame Utah would change its lame liquor laws so I could order some kick-ass wine from the WL!

Iso is good but over-hyped/over-priced. Justin’s best wine is their cheapest, the Orphan that started when an earthquake cracked some casks and they mixed it up and bottled it. Halter Creek (next vineyard over from Justin in Paso)has a great reserve Syrah that IMO kicked Justin’s butt QPR wise.

Gary, Love your passion. Met the Proprietor at Justin, Deborah Baldwin (better half), at the Sandestin Wine Fest in northwest FL last weekend. Really nice person and poured some nice wine as well. Unfortunately not the Isoscles. Its a large tasting, 75 tables from wineries and distributors everywhere. We did have our own tasting at the house, Bertani Amarone 1988 and a GAJA Sito Moresco 2004 were the biggest hits. Maybe next year a road trip? April 21-222009…KevO

Actually, I gave the 2005 Justin Isosceles 91 points – but that’s my “pal”.

QOTD: Since this is after the fact, I will tell you what we did last Friday evening. My wife, Jane and I, dined a “One Walnut” in downtown Cleveland (which is always a good meal). Afterwards we went to the Great Lakes Theater company’s performance of Arthur Miller’s, “The Crucible”, which was outstanding.

Your review of this wine was simply off base. I must say your review has caused me to question all previous reviews. I like your energy, your taste is off, way off.

A little behind schedule, but Friday night is a work night. I wait tables and hope to sling some fine wines every shift. We actually list the Isosceles on our wine list and I sold a bottle the other night. As it was the customer’s 3rd bottle in that range that evening (Nickle and Nickle Branding Iron and Silver Oak Alexander Valley) he only had one glass…the rest was mine. I agree with Gary. It’s a nice wine, but too fruity. I like the Justin Cab much more.

QOTD: 3 days late on the answer. Made coffee braised short ribs on pureed ginger garlic sweet potatoes with a beef jus reduction, haricots verts with carmelized shallots on the side. Had a bottle of Luna Merlot, Beringer Knights Valley Cab and Reynolds Family Winery Persistence. Invited some new freinds over and had a fantastic night of great food, family, friends and wine.

QOTD: watched this Monday. On Friday we did a dry run for movie night at the winery. We set up a big screen (like 12 feet!) and projector and watched “A Good Year”, had some good cookout food and of course, some fine wine.

I like the laid back Fridays!

I went to a mezze / tapas restaurant called Zaytinya in DC then went to the DC Improv with my girlfriend.

BTW – Barnes and Nobles sucks!!! I cancelled my order for your book through them because it was going to take almost another month before I got it. I will be ordering through amazon instead. Worst mistake of the new year was buying a membership for B&N!
