QOTD: Best has got to be Fleur De Pins, never had such a great dessert wine, really was fabulous, and only like 7 dollars?!@#!@?#! worst has to be that Voga Pino Nior i think, i dont even think it was vintage, it was pretty bad, too liquidy, watered down, but yeah! still tryin to expand my pallet.

Gary, Big up to Per Se!! My wife and I went on March 31 and yes, it is magical for sure. We had the 2003 Monprivato Barolo which we both loved (especially with the braised pork belly course). The next day we came home very excited for the April Fools day secret pack tasting..which brings me to the question of the day: I couldn’t really think of a situation where I expanded my pallate to something I didnt enjoy because of WLTV, but I really didnt like the white bordeaux that was on the April 1 show as much as I thought I would… i usually love white bordeaux (generalizing..I know). The best new thing I have discovered because of wltv has been Cahors. I find them to have a lot more of the flavors that I enjoy VS. an Argentinian Malbec. Anyway, thanks for the show Gary and take care!

QOTD:
The best wine I’ve had (because you had it on WLTV) was the 2005 Giuseppe Campagnola Valpolicella Classico Superiore Caterina Zardini. I still have 2 more bottles in my cellar. Waiting for a special friend or occasion for these two bottles.

The worst wine I’ve had is the 2005 Falesco Merlot Umbria IGT. Gary scored this 88 points and Robert Parker scored it 90. NO WAY!

I guess it’s true that you have to trust your own palate.

QOTD- not necessarily related to WLTV, but recent favorite was a Barolo, and least liked was a beaujolais noveau at Thanksgiving.

QOTD: Man I can’t tell you a best wine experience WLTV has given me, there are so many because I am a huge fan and order wine from you every month or more. To name a few I loved the Tokaji in the secret pack, the Matassa stink bomb, Meadowlark Cab, Gewurztraminer laundry detergent, and really love Cab Francs now thanks to WLTV!
Worst: Not from WLTV, but try the Bulls Blood wine, I think from Hungary, that was total crap!

QOTD: I haven’t had much success here where I live in finding the specific wines that you have tasted that have intriqued me but in general, Viognier is definitely the worst, Reisling (Trockenbeerenauslese) probably the best. I also have a bottle of Amon Ra(episode #18 I think)that our local store special ordered for me that I am excited to try but will probably wait a few years before I do so. I am actually a red wine person but the two I mentioned are both whites…go figure. As always I enjoyed the show.

Great show again Gary! I’m thrilled that you mentioned Albuquerque on your book tour. I want to let all the New Mexicans that post here (and I know there are a bunch of you) to look on the book link for our thread and sign up! Come on you guys. Let’s show Gary some NM love.

QOTD- I loved the Sainte Leocadie Minervois and it was certainly something I never would have tried had it not been for you. I haven’t had anything I haven’t liked so far, but then I haven’t opened all of them yet. I’ll keep you posted.

I can’t buy from WL directly, so it’s more your (GV) influence and opinions and reviews and education of course that affect my tasting/buying.
I haven’t had anything totally horrendous since watching your show, but found the Hugel Gentil to be totally meh, also the Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio meh-zor, a Muscadet that tasted of nothing, off the top of my head.
Sooo many nice wines I’ve tried at tastings & purchased, most of which I haven’t opened yet. Just for instance a wonderful Domaine du Duerre Cotes du Rhone Villages Vinsobres I tasted at a class. I wouldn’t have gone to this class but for your, you know, tuition.

Gary – wife and kid don’t give me enough time to think and respond – so I’ll just say ‘great show’. I haven’t posted in a while, but you shamed me out by calling out the lurkers (which I am most definitely not … usually)

Thanks again for another great show!

QOTD – Best experience 2005 Bordeaux (I think #411). I had just found your show while randomly searching and your episode on 2005 Bordeaux inspired my girlfriend and I to go find and try some. The ones we chose were so awesome that it completely blew our minds. Niether of us had ever had a wine from France before and had mainly been occasional drinkers of California wines.

Because of that one experience we bought some more 05’s and then tried some Burgs and then some wines from Beaujolais, Loire, Italy, Argentina, Spain, Alsace, Germany, etc, etc. We went from drinking about 6 bottles of California wine of random or someone elses choosing per year to having an almost 100 bottle collection featuring wines (mostly moderately priced) from all over the world. In 3 months. I think I found your show while looking for a “go to wine” to bring to a party we were going to. Ha!

Worst experience – easy. New York State Rieslings. We bought 6, tried 4 and I don’t think I can bring myself to try the other 2. I love Alsace and German rieslings – the ones I tried from the finger lakes all had an apple skin flavor component (some more than others) that I found off-putting. Even so – it was a fun experience because I lived in that area for 20 years and had never tried the wines before.

Glad to hear you liked PERSE Gary – coming from CALI in two weeks and scored a lunch ressy – hope it is as good as your dinner!!

The best was a newfound love for cab franc and petite verdot. Also a great call was poopooing the mollydooker 2006’s as not even wine. That was a lesson i learned cheap that many friends learned the expensive hard way. I don’t know if there is a worst experience because i think we have similar palates but I will say that I have yet to find a white Italian that I truly love although I’m the first to admit I have no idea what I’m doing there. To be honest I love the boxing and football analogies!!! Keep it up…boxing analogies I find to be some of the best ways to describe wine.

Hey Gary,

(Former) Lurkers George and Elaine here. By far and away the worst wine we have ever had (on your recommendation or anyone else’s) was the Phillips Hill Anderson Valley Pinot Noir.

You gave it a rave review, so we got right on it and got a few bottles of the 2006. It is basically raw rubbing alcohol, with a trace of Jet Fuel on the nose. Absolute crap. We are hesitant to even use it for cooking. We thought maybe it needed to decant a little longer but after 24 hours it was still horrible.

Your best recommendations may have been Hecula and some of the earthy Provencal red and rose wines, which we love.

We both have a broad palate and choose wines from diverse terroir and varietals. Absolutely agree with your take on trying new wines whenever possible.

Regards,
George and Elaine
