    Did you ever try the Virginia Albariño I left for you this past January?
    I have been a huge fan of Albariño since I visited Spain in 1994. A number of years ago I was at a Spanish tapa’s bar in Washington DC and they were serving a Virginia made Albariño from a winery called Chrysalis that I thought was pretty good. Since there are not too many folks in the USA that grow Albariño, and especially on the east coast, I left you a bottle of a 2006 Chrysalis Albariño (you were not in that day) hoping you would review it on your thunder show or at least send me a note on what you thought. Since the wine cost me a little over $20 I am a bit disappointed that you have not commented on the wine. What gives? By the way I am no way associated with the winery, I just love Albariño.

    NY Finger Lakes Guy here. But also have toured and had a number of Maryland wines. Most still have a way to go! But try Boordy Vineyards in Hydes, MD. I think certainly the best in MD!
    Many very good wines…Petit Cab, Seyval-Vidal-Chardonnay, Cab Franc and Chard among the best.
    Also, a great winery to visit.

    Quite interesting that those regions can grow wine. With cigars, you can pretty much make ‘em anywhere, but if you want to make good sticks, you need to get your tobacco flown in from Honduras, Nicaragua, the D.R., etc.

    Please check out wines from Connecticut; especially Sharpe Hill Vineyards Ballet of Angels, Cabernet Franc, Red Seraph.

    so … cave pickles and old football sweatpants … mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmh. awsome.

    ok Gary, i just want to impart some of my own wisdom, gained from studying anthropology and geography for 4 years, THERE ARE ONLY 4 STATES IN THE USA, NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA, TEXAS, AND FLORIDA, EVERYWHERE ELSE IS JUST SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN, and doesn’t really exist (sorry NJ).

    Thanks for the shout out Gary! That’ll make my folks laugh! And yes, I will push for Aquaman – our first child was a girl but I still think Aquaman works as a middle name. My wife will laugh too, but if I can’t get Aquaman this time – there’s always a chance we’ll be blessed with a third. Maybe if we have a enough kids she’ll give up arguing!

    There are some good wines coming from the Elgin area, south and east of Tucson, Arizona,made by Callaghan- one I tasted is called Caitlin’s 2004 – a mix of 46% Petit Verdot, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc and the Padres 2005–39% Tempranillo, 31% Petit Verdot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc. All the grapes are sourced from his vineyards adjacent to the winery. Good wines with great aging potential.

    I would send you an Arizona wine, but it will have to wait until the weather cools below 100F, maybe October. We do have some wineries that are beginning to bring the thunder. Maybe you need to make a trip here instead, if you can take the heat!!

    Brett…..on the third wine? that’s what is sounds like and or reduction

    QOTD: I would love to send you a bottle of Ste Chapelle Ice Wine, but I can’t afford to buy it for myself let alone ship it to NJ :)

    Being part of the CC, I kind of feel left out of this call for arms.

    Granted, if it were possible to send bottles over the border without any problems, I’d be game for giving you some more BC wines to check out. But alas, I’ll just have to bring them to you the next time you’re in the province, or in Washington.

    Good show though, GV, always good to see some off the charts wines showing well!

    Gary, we have to uncheck Maryland. I can’t let that wine represent our state. We need a do-over.

    Top 100 Again!!!

    yeh

    Great to see wines from the other 46. Keep it up.

    Can’t even guess on the action figures. Too small to make them out. Try a close up…

    MD red wines are horrid. Being a MD native, I have been to MD and VA wine festivals and by far MD wines are the worst. They make a palatable dessert wine (Elk Cove Sweet Katharine) comes to mind but all in all, abysmal. Now, for VA wines a step above but still need some work though there are some good Cab Francs and Viogniers (Horton is fab). That being said, great show highlighting what we have to offer here on the East Coast. I’ll send you a bottle from NC.

    Welcome back.

    Cheers,
    Dom

    P.S. I personally helped design an older Linden wine label many moons ago. Glad it showed well. :)

    A California native, I tend to favor Sonoma and Napa. Oregon and Washington trail markedly and the other 46 are squeezed out of the local wine shops entirely. All things being equal, I’d more than likely experiment with a French or Italian wine over a PV from Vermont. Liked the show though.

    OK gary, I am gonna try again here.

    ACTION FIGURES:
    The first one is a Cylon Centurion, the second is a nameless space man figure from a 1979 Fisher Price “Alpha Star 1″ playset, the third is Ovion.

    If I’m right, it’s not really fair having one of them not even have a name!

    Yo Gary, where’d you get that tshirt?

    Don’t me to be spamming the board…but I remembered the name I was thinking of. I think the dude in the middle is Black Manta.

    Right??

    Kinda looks like c3p0 from a distance
    Creature from the black lagoon
    middle one looks like a Dr. Who character

    QOTD: I’m waiting to taste some decent wine from SC. I visited Irvin-House Vineyards about 30 minutes from where I live and the tour they gave was awesome–got to punch down some grapes and walk in the vineyard–but Muscadine is just not my thing.

    Really interesting on the Petit Verdot that you and Mott agreed on all of the flavors but felt so differently about the wine. Great demonstration of trusting your own palate.

    QOTD: OK is in the house already…..

    I think the action figures are some Aquaman villans but don’t know the names….

    Love the idea of a Mott cam….

    Thanks, good to venture out but I will be staying with the other 4…..You rocked on “Big Idea”

    I will have the Linden tonight as my son sent me a bottle from a DC wine shop. The Basignani was served to me at a friends in Baltimore as the best wine in Maryland. I politely told him it wasn’t my style while pouring my glass into one of their house plants. I never asked if I killed the plant but that stuff could have. Haven’t had any PA wine to date.
