I’m coming to this one a little late, but a very interesting episode nonetheless. I’m not surprised by your evaluation, and wonder if you were a little gracious towards Chaddsford. I tried their Pinot Noir and thought it was terrible. I hear they make a very nice Meritage, but I’m not anxious t find it.

I lived out west for 20 years, and have been to Napa, Sonoma, and the Santa Ynez areas. Now that I am in Pennsylvania, I’ve been trying the wines here and in Ohio. I am thoroughly unimpressed by the Pennsylvania wines, especially the reds. Granted, I’ve tried only around 15 thus far, but not one has been memorable, let alone worth any amount of money.

I’ve been satisfied by one Ohio winery so far: Laurello Winery in the Lake Erie region. They produce a few “Super Tuscan” blends that are actually pretty good.

I won’t lie. I want to make sure I get a wristband so I’m commenting. Not sure if this episode is part of the random pool but oh well. Besides, the QOTD is interesting.

I live in Japan and one time I had a Japanese Bordeaux style meritage blend that was good. It was $70 a bottle good but they were selling by the glass for around $15 so it was worth it. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the name.

Interesting show. The US of A wines we get up here come mainly from the big four: California, NY, Washington, and Oregon. I tried a wine from Ohio once… was not impressed at all. Tasted like something someone made at home in their garage or basement. Definitely curious to see what else is out there.

QOTD: I live in Louisiana, and most of our local wine is garbage, we do have a few gems however, maybe I’ll send you a bottle.

The figure on (our) left looks like the creature from the black lagoon somewhat. Next, time, please close-up on the figures :-). I’ve never had any MA wine, although the Nashoba winery is pretty close to me.

Why I love WLTV: “Smells like a cave to me. Seriously, like you dropped a jar of pickles into a cave”

As for the QOTD, you’ve already tried at least a couple BC wines, and the province is at least somewhat well established as a wine area. Also not sure how to ship wine across the border.

Ho-hum show. Like the variety, but it lacked energy.
QOTD - I live in MA and I don’t think that it is a hotbed of wine made from grapes.

Gary,
Great show - you picked one of Virginia’s best with Linden. Jim Law from Linden sets the standard for the almost 200 wineries currently in Virginia.
When are you going to do a tour of Virginia wineries????? VA is only a short drive from NJ. October is Virginia Wine month.
Recommend you start with Linden, then Pearmund Cellars, then Rappahannock Cellars and finish with Barboursville.
btw a good starting point for VA wines is http://www.virginiawines.org/

I just went back to my hometown of Kalamazoo, MI for a wedding and stopped by St. Julien Wine Co. I walked out of the tasting room with a big smile on my face because I was bringing some great Michigan wine back to San Francisco. I can’t wait to do a blind tasting with some of my industry peeps. I must recommend the Braganini Reserve 2006 Traminette and the Braganini Reserve 2006 Syrah. Big ups to my hometown winemakers!!

GV,

Love the other 46 concept. It was great seeing you in Seattle. I have had a different MD Cab and it didn’t quite work for me. We’ll see what happens. I agree that ID is on its way!
