Dear Gary . . .

branflakes.

Hard to believe the spanish still over oak, I would have thought they
would have figured it out by now. That said, when they ease off on it they can produce some great wines as you know. As for tempranillo, not my favourite.

My QOTD – why do americans alway talk about wine in terms of grape vatietal?

Although white burgs are made with the chardonnay grape, you’d never call them chardonnays. They have nothing to do with chardonnay grown elsewhere.
Perhaps when comparing wines from different regions you might think about
wines that have similar characteristics – NZ whites vs chablis etc.

A very professional show as always Gary. Keep up the good work. I’ll see
if I can get my hands on some of the Cornas and Chassagne you tried earlier.

All the best,

Paul C.

QOTD: GV, thanks for asking what cereal I’m eating. Actually, I’ve been on the wagon, lately. On a protein kick, eschewing carbs a bit. Otherwise, I like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and I try and eat them quickly before they get too soggy. Very few people remember Clackers from the 60s…graham cracker cereal. When the oak monster in the Pago started chasing you, I immediately recalled Booberry; KaBoom came to mind, also. What wine program is complete without Grape Nuts? And for the La Linda that you liked, Kix seems aprops. Thanks for the trip down Tempranillo highway.

QOTD: a local granola maker (Erin Baker’s) has a wonderful peanut butter granola. My current favorite breakfast is to put some blueberries and non-fat plain yogurt in a bowl. Top it with some of the peanut butter granola. It’s a bit like a PB&J.

BTW, I do have one of those pitchers of water in my frig. Most of the time there are a few slices of lemon or lime. Orange chunks or slices are quite nice, too. Have you ever tried putting a few thin slices of cucumber in the pitcher? A local restaurant does that, and it’s very refreshing — it’s a fun change up from the citrus.

Another great episode. Made me feel compelled to comment. I liked the whisper “Link it up” part quite a bit.

QOTD: I’m a Banana Nut Crunch guy.

I’m crunching on some vanilla granola and it is soooo awesome! That La Linda sounds fabulous, I will try to bring that into the wine shop where I work. Great show today!

I’m iPodding episodes these days, so I’m always behind the times. Have you been able to clean up that wine stain that you’ve been complaining about in your carpet??? If not, try this… I SWEAR you will be shocked:

Windex. Clean it with windex and paper towels. I would bet money that you will not even be able to tell where the stain was. I’ve spilled red wine on two different carpets and Windex got the stains out completely… one stain had set several days, too. So give it a go, and if it works… Just give me a shout-out!

I’m looking forward to seeing this Tempranillo episode… Cheers!

QOTD 1 – No. No pitcher of H2O in my fridge, with or w/o “stuff” in it. And honestly, that sounds kind of gross.

QOTD 2 – I don’t eat cereal. Really.

great episode. i had my first tempranillo a couple of weeks ago and it was decent. it at least made me curious about the better ones out there! periodically some lemon and mint get tossed in my water. very refreshing.

i make my own granola. it’s easy, cheaper than buying cereal from the store, and i can throw whatever i’m feeling in the mood for into the mix. a few weeks ago it was an orange cranberry granola with cashews. last week it was blueberry vanilla almond granola. good stuff.

So I guess it’s about time that I actually came out of the shadows for this very important QOTD. I’ve been “lurking” for approx. 100+ episodes (GV you’re my hero) umm…but I just never posted anything. But to answer the cereal question Kroger store brand knockoff of Reeses Puffs b/c I belong to the LSKC

Nutty Nuggets AKA Grape Nuts but the store bought brand… with blueberries on top. Cereal is the greatest gift to man. What other meal can you eat and drink at the same time. I love it…
