Like you, I’m not a fan of these over the top wines. I will be in Santa Cruz next months so I will give them a visit. The question you asked is what other people should say about you not what you say about yourself.

Yea Santa Cruz Mtns I used to live in San Jose and drive the Mountain to Santa Cruz almost every weekend. I have only tried one wine from there Savannah Chanelle Monmartre Alc. 16.9% couldn’t tell it was wonderful.

I’m getting really bored with many CA wines. Overoaked fruit-bombs with absurd alcohol levels. All thanks to Robert Parker, who has done more damage to wine than phylloxera.

PS Having a Bordeaux wine tasting and Robert Parker book burning this weekend!

Funny that you mention dandelion. I have a dandelion wine fermenting right now, sadly I won’t get to try it for at least another year.

QOTD: one of those rare American Formula One fans, Wine for the qualifiers and big barley wine or double IPA for the race.

Gary… BOSTON RULES!
Just started watching this amazing show, and I am trying to pick up on the episodes I’ve missed so far.
HOW DO I GET A WRIST BAND???

Also, tip for a future show: South American wines. I know there are great wines in Chile and Argentina, but you have to try some of the Brazilian wines out there. Just a suggestion…

QOTD: My eyes change color according to the light. Blue-green-gray. My forehead won’t stop growing.

QOTD- I don’t think I share any of my characteristics with anyone I know! ha
I’m just unique in general.

Drinking a Valpolicella right now. There’s a crazy sweetness going on- beyond fruity. Like candy. Like those fizzy cola bottles, you know the ones? This is interesting but I’m not sure I like it! It’s all in the spirit of trying new wines though, Thanks Gary! All my favorite wines still come from France though!
Never even tried one from the U.S.A! (Don’t worry, I’ll get around to it! I a new wine drinker.)

QOTD: My most unique characteristics, in comparison to the people around me, are my passions. While most of my friends like beer, video games and high contact sports, I am a wine drinking, magazine/book reading, cyclist who does what other people don’t.

Keep bringing the thunder Gary, and HOW IN THE WORLD DO I GET THE NEXT GENERATION WRISTBAND, PLEASE?!?!?!?!
