I’m so stoked you made this episode. I had asked for a tempranillo episode several days ago and I’m not sure whether or not you saw the comment or I was making a good prediction. I think it’s a very underrated varietal and I’m glad you gave it some love and the central coast of cali is putting out some great immigrant varietals.

qotd, cheerios. that’s right, cheerio’s

I’m a big fan of Tempranillo, thanks for bringing it out. QOTD: there’s only one cereal I eat.. Frosted Flakes.

Hmm, what cereal am I eating? That’s a pretty zooey QOTD, but the answer is that lately I’ve been radically into hot barley. I ran through like a pound of rolled barley earlier this month, which was so good, I ran out & bought a pound of unrolled hulled barley a day or two ago. I’ll have it with some skim milk, grade B maple syrup, maybe some slivered almonds, and maybe some slices of those teeny-tiny little bananas you see at the really cool vegetable stands these days. That probably wouldn’t go well with Tempranillo though. 8>)) Which reminds me that I haven’t been drinking many Spanish reds for the past couple of years; time to stock up on ‘em & refresh the old palate about their unique qualities.

QOTD: Cocoa puffs: awesome when I was a kid, and they still rock now that I’m 47. Gotta love slurping up the chocolate milk when you’re done with the bowl

No surprise on the La Linda. I am super impressed with the quality of what I’ve been drinking out of Argentina and Chile. South American wines are some of the best QPRs in the wine world right now.

Hey Gary! I’m thrilled to see such good marks for the Tempranillo! It gives me validation for the handful of California Reds I’ve picked up in recent years, which I’ve just started trying out (they’ve each had VERY similar characteristics to what you found in this one).

P.S. I was at the Meadowlands Arena for that taping when Andre challenged Hulk for the title on that Piper’s Pit you referenced! What a bombshell!

I’m very happy you came upon the La Linda–this is a wine my wife and I fell in love with in Argentina, where it was featured in one of the high end restaurants in the Palermo Chico section of Buenos Aires, Social Paraiso. While it’s not a ’showy’ wine, I feel it drinks like many solid Argentine reds and it seduces you in a quiet way. Since Luigi Bosca’s La Linda line has other kinds of reds-malbec, pinot noir, cabernet, I’d really be curious what you thought those were like and if you could review them as well.

FWI-if you want to sound like a true ‘porteno(Buenos Aires city dude), the double L in Argentina is pronounced like a soft g, “eegh”, as in Tempran–ee–sho.

Fun show….

QOTD – I’m a steel cut oats kind of guy, but when I eat cold cereal it’s usually Post Selects with bananas. The pecan one is pretty good too.

QOTD: Eating Post Selects. I really like the one with the cranberries in it. All about trying new things though. I can’t stick with the same cereal for very long. I wish there were as many cereals as there are wines.
