I like the energy of the show.

Recommendations… so many…

Lived in Ontario from 1992 – 2005. You did a few mediocre wines from Pelee Island, which are not bad QPR for Ontario. The govt stores flog Aussie grape juice cause they make lotsa money off it. There are a number of interesting wineries, Lenko, Maliviore, and Angels Gate are just a few. Try some Baco Noir for something different, Henry of Pelham Reserve is usually best.

Living in Texas now. Happy with everything I have had from Becker so far. Getting into a few others, will get back to the list when I have tried more.

Latest QPR winner: winery Verget du Sud, wine Au Fils du Temps, $6 or so Rhone blend.

What people need to try, but have not: old wines. We drink wine very young, and miss out on a whole other world. I think it would be good for you to suggest wines for people to buy and cellar. So many of the worlds great wines need 5 – 10 years, and people never try them that way. So many reasonably priced wines get much better with a few years.

Cheers, Dave.

I had a Kosher wine over Passover, a Spanish wine from Elvi Wines, it was the 770 priorat it’s a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Caberney, and Merlot. At 15.5% alc it was a real heavy and interesting wine.

How about that, I just sent you an email with my recommendation earlier today. Check out Cantina del Pino, I really liked their 2006 Dolcetto d’Alba and 2005 Barbera d’Alba at a tasting this week.

Thanks so much for the birthday shout-out – you are a doll!!

QOTD: I recommend you not change a blessed thing!! But if you were looking specifically for a wine rec, try the Mestizaje sometime. It’s very different – lots of interest, lots of charisma. I think you might like it.

Cheers! Laura

I recommend The Rhone de Robles 05′ by Robert Hall. A cali. Rhone styled wine. I wish I had a bottle left. My wine notes are scattered. I remember a nice balance with a new world meets old world style. A very nice wine you should try.

QOTD: “Chippers” a.k.a the delicacy of my hometown, Fargo, ND. They’re Red River Valley potato chips hand dipped in chocolate. YUM!

Gary,

My sincere recommendation for you:

a 5 day stint in Costa Rica with Lizzy, we’ll raid the cellar and have a blast up in a rainforest lodge, talking to wild monkeys. Also, bring down like 200 or 300 books for a signing. How does July 29th sound? we have a wine show that day.

Writing this sunday 6.50 pm… Jets draft, so so, but you did do some serious damage on camera all weekend… it’s like you paid Boomer Berman or something…

My shoutout gets selected and somehow “Travis” becomes “Travi”? It’s my high school gym teacher (who insisted on dropping the last letter of everyone’s name) all over again.

Great show and good interview on Internet Superstars – would highly recommend, check it out at Revision3.org.

We recommend “Trappist Monks” monistary made jams and jellies.

They are sooooooooo good; my special prize for you is going to be; a sampling for the Vanerchuks to try.

These jams are so packed with flavor; you will never see blackberries in the same light……they will be elivated to star status.

Dude, try the Galil Mountain Viognier with some matzah — or bread or whatever ‘cuz it’s an awesome wine.
Or the Gamla Sauvignon Blanc.

Although I had some great Yatir and Carmel Single Vineyard too this Passover. Check out the great Israeli kosher and non-kosher wines for year round!

Love the show as always. Give Vina Robles Singature a try or call them and get a hold of either their Zin or “End Post”

?OD While not in my immediate self interest, I recommend more time with your family and less time on the Thunder Show, (ie checking emails at 1:00am) I’d hate to see you burn out early.

I also wanted to recommend trying more Nebbiolos from Langhe. I’ve had a few recently and been moved by the complex minerality in them – strong values for Burgundy lovers looking forward to eating at beautiful Italian trattorias this summer.
