QOTD: If i’m flying I might as well visit De Martino in Chile. Their 2006 Single Vineyard Maule Valley Malbec was the first red wine that made me realise the quality that wine in general can have, and for only £11 ($18).

so yeah i first saw gary on that mad money appearance and then missed him when he came to des moines :~( oh wellz

qotd: dunno I keep trying new things and finding things I like so I’m not able to narrow that down because I still feel like I’ll find something better soon. If I had to pick one right now it’d probably have to be to Chile.

God these tastings make me jealous. I want to be in on the action! I want to smell the poo!!! QOTD: Bourdeaux. Stock answer? Probably, but I think it would give me a great chance to expand my palate on reds and also cause I love me some rich foods and Sauternes. France for the win!

Gary- been out of the game for a long time, been missing the show for a long time because I’ve been too busy. We openned the first we’ve had of the two secret packs (I got both for my birthday) the Riojo tonight and watched the show. Before we watched it we were drinking the wine and I was like this really smells like poop. Spot on, great wine, great show I need to come back to the fold…..

I just tried, Prado Ayala Rioja 2006, the wine with the dog label that you said smelled like “crap.” I enjoyed your review and ordered it. I loved it. I even ordered another case. I would rate this wine higher. Thanks,
Michael

qotd: if I had one plane ticket to anywhere that has to do with wine? I would without a doubt come to wine library, and pray for the chance to chat with you (or if everything was ticketed to have a drink with you) I know I am getting rotton tomatoes thrown at me right now, but honestly I learn a ton from you, and where I am at right now, that would without a doubt be the most logical and benificial trip I could take in the wine world.

QOTD: New Zealand for the beautiful country (though I don’t have much experience with their wines) or Apulia for an authentic trip to Italy and some great Primitivo.

Great show. It’s too bad we didn’t get the secret packs this time around, maybe next time.
