QOTD

Worst: Had a 24 hour lay-over in Tunisia and purchased a bottle of both red and white to try when i returned home… Tasted like petrol mixed with grapes that were crushed by the fungi foot of a wooley mammoth.

Best: My girlfriend bought home a 1/4 bottle of Chateau Yquem 1985 that was served at a party in Monaco.. That was structurally the best wine i have ever had.

not that i’m an expert, but i’m glad to hear you say that it was too hot. I’m finding about 2/3 of the 05 whites to be “hot” from alcohol mostly. the 04’s and even more so the 06’s are just slaying it!

Long time fan, recent viewer. Long time customer with Shoppers Discount Liquors. Thanks for the wine that you recently donated to the NJ Photoconferance held at the Visual Art Center of NJ in Summit.The receptions in which your wines were served were so popular that I had to BUY an additional case.

The dry Tokaji of secret packs past was a pretty fun experience.

I can’t say I’ve had any bad experiences as a result of the thundershow, though I’ve certainly has a number of lousy wines. Tonight I had a pinotage that tasted thoroughly awful. Fifty points for being alcohol made from grapes. Ten points for some actually complex fruit flavors. Minus five points for being really bitter. That’s 55, folks.

Tough question today.

Best: A Sicilian white: Cusumano Insolia. Never would have gone there without your encouragement, and it even had a glass “cork”!

Worst: We tried a Uruguayian Tannat / Cab Franc. Monster sulfur dioxide.

QOTD: Best–Tokaji goes really well with roasted chicken and with the hazelnut chocolates we enjoyed after dinner

Worst–don’t think I have one yet. Aside from WLTV, my pal doesn’t really take to Chardonnays. I keep trying them hoping to cultivate a like of them and it hasn’t worked yet.

First of all: I was a lurker for about 200 or 300 episodes. I do not know why I decided to answer this question of the day but here it is:

My best and worst experience are actually with the same wine: Elio Altare Dolchetto d’Alba. After Gary have it a very good score I decided to thry it and I loved it (I would have scored it 91-92). So I bought 6 more bottles of it. I drank 4 of them so far and they were no way near the experience I had with the first bottle. They were nor flawed but I scored them between 86 and 88. I never had a wine with such bottle variation.

Where am I? Antwerpen – Belgium

BTW love your show Gary

QOTD: Thanks for revealing Barbera and Dolcetto grapes and Languedoc region. Thes wines really bring the qpr thunder. Other than that – our little countryÂ´s market situation is a bit different from yours; we donÂ´t get the exact wines from the exact producers you talk about.

QOTD: Best was a wine from Languedoc (can’t quite remember the whole name). Something with “oligocene”in the name. Delicious Chateauneuf style wine. Worst was the Tensley Syrah. Actually not a bad wine, but just not my style.

QOTD – Best was definitely the Tempier Bandol. Something I probably would have overlooked on the wine list but am certainly glad I didn’t.

Worst, some so-so Cabernet Franc. There is still so much out there that tastes like pickled pepper juice.

QOTD: I can’t say I have had a worst experience, but I have a tie for the best.
One being the Monica from the Thanksgiving pack, very delicious.
The other would be the Carm, a very interesting wine.

QOTD: 1 – I’m in Sofia, Bulgaria.
2 – In april we were in Madrid and I tried two Albarinos, because of ep. #241 and # 363. They were total disappointment, maybe because I expected something realy special or I just had no luck.
And the best wine … – I hope, I try it soon.

QOTD: Worst: 2006 Lo Tengo Torrontes, Argentina– I’m sure Torrontes is a great grape that can show “razor sharp acidity,” but this one had such a soapy finish that I couldn’t finish the bottle.
Best: 2003 Chat. Montus Madiran– 80% Tannat, 20% Cab. Fantasticly rich, smooth tannin, and powerful finesse and acidity. As always, thank you- for the best and worst that my palate expanding has brought me.

The best was probably the 2004 Kanonkop Pinotage (though it was more of a ‘confirmation’ than anything else as I had already tried it just prior to seeing it on the show). That stuff kicks ass!

The worst was Cahors (I’ve tried 2 now…both terrible….)

My best experience lately was a surprise. A 96 Nino Negri Inferno.I worried that I had sat on it for too long. In the past I had only drank this Nebbiolo young thinking it would not be long lived like the Piedmont Nebbs. It was brilliant. Still had great structure. I could have sat on it for a few more years. My latest bad experience was a 96 Carlo Giacosa Barbaresco . I thought for sure it would hold up well . 96 was such a good vintage. It fell way short. It was too flabby to even be drinkable.
