Bonarda and Charbono, I’ll have to remember those are the same thing. I think I’ve only had Charbono from the west coast in blends.

QOTD 1: Happy Birthday, Mott! I’m guessing you’re 49.
QOTD 2: Gary, I’ll be in San Fran. in July, but on the wrong week. Too bad! When are we doing the Vayniac Cab release party? I’m going to make a special trip for that one. You better host a big party out there.

I’ve had Gaglioppo, that one! Actually I’m the only one with a review for that wine in CellarTracker right now. I picked it up from you (with free shipping) because Dr. Debs wrote about the previous vintage. I didn’t get the interesting finish you got, but I did enjoy it. It was perfect for the broccoli, chicken, and mushroom casserole that we had. We were looking for a light red wine and that hit the spot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOTT!!!
Cheers to the man behind the magic, the zoomer, the lensmaster!
AND by the way what wine selection would complement that cake?

My answer —–> Mott doesn’t look a day over 29…BUT…

My guess is he’s 41!!!

Keep up the great shows, my PAL has learned a thing or 2!

Happy Birthday Mott! Like me, I believe he is 39 and Holding. Well, I doubt I can go to SF now, but maybe that OWC wine blogger thing in Oct is doable, I’m thinking about it.

Happy B-day Mott. QOTD – Dunno – 45? I suggest going with my mothers theory, she’s 39 forever, even if she was born in 1926.

QOTD 2 – West Coast – sorry dont think I will be able to make it unless work calls for it.

Good show, I would like to learn more about the Italian wines.

I love that there are tons of ‘tiny’ places in Italy that produce great wine that I’ve never even heard about! It’s like a clown car…

QOTD: Everyone is overshooting… 38

happy 44th, mott!

cool show… had that same travaglini about a year ago, and thought pretty much the same thing. it was light, not worth the price. although i didn’t go 80 on it!
