GV,
As usual a great and informative ep. Found this tidbit of info re: the Lindaflor: you made a comment wondering who the winemaker was:

“French winemaking in Argentina: Bodega Monteviejo: Weâ€™re French, darlingâ€¦
French winemaking is certainly well represented in Mendoza, Argentina, from charming boutique winery Carinae, to elegant Alta Vista to aristocratic Bodega Monteviejo. Bodega Monteviejo is part of the Clos de los Siete, a project including famed winemaker and consultant MICHEL ROLLAND. The winery is owned by Catherine PÃ©rÃ©-VergÃ© from France.”
Could be why you liked it so much.

QOTD: A free ticket, anywhere? Sounds like a time for celebrating! Make it the Champagne region of France. Not sure why we don’t make more of this out here in the Willamette Valley…

QOTD: Aspen Co., Wine Festival in November. Maybe get to swirl, sniff-e-sniff and taste some of that Turley stuff that we never see here on the east coast. That would be would be real sweet.

I totally agree with you on the Estancia Meritage.
I loved the ‘94 and ‘95, but from ‘96 onward the Oak Monster
appeared and just got worse and worse. I’ll definitely seek
out this P.N. and post a tasting note on my website.

QOTD: Heading to Paris in 12 days! I’m jazzed. I think ultimately though I’d pick Spain or Italy.

I can’t wait to try these wines! Especially the Rioja

GV…make Des Moines happen!!!

My wife and I have always wanted to go to Italy. I’d choose Tuscany if I could only go to one area.

Italy or Australia, doesn’t matter.

Hey Gary and WLTV

Thanks for at fabulous TV show, my number 1 show, not number 13, 17 ore 21, but number 1.

I would like to thank you for being an inspiration in my life. An inspiration to be braver. You can say that you are a GPS in my life of taste; how about that!

I just returned from a vacation in Cezk Republic, where we, my boy friend Anders and I, systematically, tried different wines, 99% Cezk wines (one french) – New names are now in our vocabulary Frankova, Neronet, Zweigeltrebe – My personal favorite was a young Neronet from 2006, unfortunate I can’t recall, what winery et was from.

Beside being brave on wines, you have inspired me to taste food, that I don’t usually like. As a child and you adult, I was VERRY particular with my foods. BUY you, Gary, you have opened my eyes to the difference of likeing the taste and tasting the taste – hurray

PS. We met the the Oak-monster i Pragh. If you havent seen him your self, I can tell you that he is small, white and blue striped, and have a shape of at rabbit, and sits in a window in a shop with his friend the skunk-monster. I think i have a picture, some where – I will send it to you later.

Again Gary – thak you for at fab show, and for changing the wine world and me

-this had absolutly nothing to do with thes episode, but I just wanted you to know…

Best and have a grate day!

Great call on the Rioja. I’ll be searching high and low for Prado. What’s up with the double wristband? I can’t even get one. When will they be available G?

QOTD: I’d have to say Bordeaux. Great reds, whites and desserts all in one.

qotd: probably Tuscany, but i’d love to be able to sneak up to Piedmont in the same trip. it would only involve one plane trip, so i figure that’s ok.

QOTD: I’d like to keys to the vault and no one home at Lafite-Rothschild.

I’m jealous of everyone who ordered the wine pack. I really will do it next time.
QOTD: France. If it were a one time only trip it would have to be for an extended period of time – like a year. I could work on my French, go the the French opera houses, and take trips to all the wine areas. I don’t know if the cats would remember us when we got back though.
Happy Birthday Lizzie!
