You had to mention pork belly, didnt you? Thats it, Im throwing down. I will out pork belly you anytime, anywhere. mmmm with a sherry jus and some potatoes and quails egg. Youre going down Vaynerchuk, youre going down hardcore. Nice showing on some of the pinos. Oregon is def. something I need to check out in the future. QOTD: Probably something simple. I want to cook some veal saltimbocca. Watched a recepie on the Food Network and it looked like perfection. Family will love that Im sure.

Isn’t Oregon in the mid-lower North West? Washington is the “upper” NW.

GARY! I cdnt wait to get my hands and mouth on Boedecker…Im drinking it now, have to say my palate doesnt agree about this wine. I agree its complex, I get the tea, I get the heat, I get the Ludens cough drops…but I wasnt blown-away. I have a question…when I received the wine, as it was shipped overnight, the bottle felt warm to me. I taste more of a “sour” flavor and want to know if you think that too much heat could cause this sour-ness.?

II really liked that episode Gary. QOTD: We went the North Fork of Long Island and tasted! We were really suprised at the quality especially of Merlot. There’s a small producer on the south fork called Channing Daughters who’s doing some cool stuff make small productions of blends and rarely heard of varietals- right up the WLTV alley!

Saw a bottle of Siduri at a local wine shop in Kobe, Japan that I go to. But the Boedecker sounds like the real deal. I’ve had Patricia Green, Drouhin, and some others and generally enjoy Oregon Pinot quite a bit. Old school funk with new world pizazz.

Had a great time at your book signing in Portland! Thanks for coming out. We hope you enjoyed your time here. I was so pumped at how many people came out to the event. You were charming and entertaining and insightful as usual. I even paid full list for the book, but it was worth it once it had your sig on the cover page.

We went to the beach and barbecued chicken and had a Chinon Rose with friends.
I took the book with me and our friends started reading it and now they are interested in your programs.

Thanks Gary

A screwtop – good on them; they do sound like they care about their wine. Coming from Australia I still can’t believe so many US wines are still produced under cork.

QOTD: Well it’s Monday so … the weekend just gone was about a spectacular afternoon on a friend’s junk in Aberdeen Harbour Hong Kong. “Next weekend” I’ll be back in Australia an getting very excited my trip to the Claire Valley next Monday morning.

Cheers

Gary,

A lurker makes his first post! After watching 10 episodes I came to realize you taste a lot of f***ing wine. Forty Malbecs in a week? Question of the day for you: What wines do you drink at home?

As for my July 4th I had a friend get us access to the Cabrillo National Monument after hours with his high security pass and got to watch all the fire works for down town San Diego, CA from a cliff overlooking the Pacific. I hope yours was equally amazing. And from the bottom of my heart thank you for such a passionate wine show. Your commitment really shows.

QOTD: Me and the family just returned from four days of camping in New Hampshire. So as I catch up on the long weekend’s e-mail I watch the last episode of WLTV I missed.
