    Buying a case of my favorite wine. Then trying a Syrah from Austraila with my brother in-law in Toledo and going swimming in his pool.

    Start of show…. Zzzzz…what? :) Kidding. Classic. I attempted to expand my palate this week- I almost bought a $35 borolo- but then thought “Oh ‘S’ I am not putting down that coin for a wine I haven’t tried”. I’ll get there, though, so keep the faith. I’m not a lost hope yet darlin’, so don’t ignore me just yet like I know you want to. I have just a _little_ Hebrew in me, so I’m still just a smidgin’ cheap. I’m getting there.
    QOTD: Just had a big “A” 24hr-4day family reunion less than 2 wks ago- hanging out with brother _maybe_ if we feel like it. We still have family hangover. Maybe catch a barb’que- You?
    As for Pinot- I dunno- Mortal Kombat is probably the only vid game I can swing= maybe I should try this one?
    Macho Man in the background- nice- he’s the first WWF impersonation I could do- still can (as much as a girl can). :) I dare you to give us a Macho Man opening… disregard past… a new one. Still lovin’ on your shows, GV… Thank you so much for staying with us (especially slackers like me).

    93 Points to a screw top!!! Big ups to the screw top!

    QOTD: I’ll be working at “The Pepper” on the 4th, and attending a wedding at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on the 5th. Reception at the Rainbow Room, looking so foward to it. Gotta bring my big camera for this one! There will lots of wine flowing.

    Have a happy holiday everyone. God Bless America.

    QOTD: I will be driving from Amsterdam to Denmark with my parents and my little sister to board the boat to Iceland on Saturday, which also happens to be my birthday. We will be staying on Iceland for about three weeks, so I’ll have a lot of WLTV to catch up on when I get back home in the first days of August.

    I think Gary had too much to drink before this show, is anyone else with me on this, please comment.

    That would be Luden’s Cherry cough drops.

    QOTD: Spending it with family and friends. Grilling and drinking some fine wines as I have for the past 3 weekends. Have a friend leaving for a teaching position in Austria so for his going away party I took a bottle of 2000 Schwarz Zweigelt out of the cellar. Paired wonderfully with all the vegetables and marinated London Broil.

    QOTD: I am headed to the beach here in FL with all the fam!

    I just had a $20 Pinot from Oregon, not too good. Guess I got to step it up to the next level to find something worth drinking.

    Good show. Shout out to Canadians who watch the show. You should definitely check out Canadian wines from the Niagara/Okanagan valley regions.
    QOTD: Going to the vet’s to get stitches outta my girl’s cat (yippeee)

    Love the Oregon Pinot, so big ups on the show. Now I have to add Bodecker to list of entry level bottles to try. Even though I am scheptical of most, besides the Ransom (a total steal at 20 bones)and Grochau Cellars that really stunned me at a tasting with other big names that were more expensive, and if Bodecker is rocking maybe add it to the gotta hit list for the fall trip to Walla walla and Oregon.

    QOTD: Wife’s family on the 4th with some Oregon Pinot non the less then Fire works on the Mall. Saturday will be a day of hiking and hopefully a little rock climbing, weather permitting.

    Great Show!!!

    QOTD: I’m probably not doing anything exciting as of now. I’ll probably be helping my parents out in their quest to reorganize their house.

    Had the Siduri before and enjoyed it…would love to seek out the Bodecker!

    QOTD: BBQ with friends on Friday, camping with my son and our horses over the weekend!! Can’t wait to share some time with him…we don’t get to do it as often as we use to!

    Have a great holiday-I know you’ll be with the ones you love!

    Decades ago I ate some of my grandfather’s cherry Luden’s cough drops.

    QOTD: Family BBQ. I’ll bring the wine.

    I think you were referring to Luden’s Wild Cherry Throat Drops…Good Stuff.

    QOTD: Spending time with family – Mom & Dad, Brother and Sister-in-Law, etc. and especially with my wife and 2 little girls. Oh yeah, popping the cork on a some good summer time wine.

    Told you I’d try it! This rules…

    7/2/2008 rated 92 points: Lots of toasty oak on the nose, along with some dried pine cone and raspberry wound up with licorice. There’s also this nice aroma of cherries covered in truffle salt with just a dash of black pepper. Very beautiful aromas, and what I seek in an Oregon Pinot. Beautiful in the mouth, showing tons of that truffle salt covered cherry. Finish isn’t quite as intriguing as the sniff, but tasty never the less, mainly showing toasted cherry and the raspberry licorice. A beautiful wine, blending perfectly new world Pinot and Burgundian class, and a steal at $30.

    First, great show. Loved it. #496! Wowwwwwwww

    Being a member of OPNC (Oregon Pinot Noir Club) I’ve had these wines and have some stored in my mini-cellar and you are dead on in your ratings. Prior years of Lemelson were exceptional though I haven’t tried the ‘06.

    I’ve been to the Willamette Valley and it is a wonderful and beautiful area that made me think to buy a small vineyard and grow my own pinot. Well, that has yet to come to fruition but on my radar like you owning the Jets one day. You’ll realize your dream before me.

    QOTD: Going to the Mall watching the fireworks over the Washington Monument or to the local Rockville high school to watch fireworks and enjoy a nice Zin as Spoiled referred to.

    Hope your holiday is wonderful. This is one of my favs.

    Cheers and I raise a glass to the great US of A!

    Heading from Northern VA to the outskirts of Mebane, N.C. to visit with my eldest son and his family. Gonna give up the beltway for some peace and quiet.
    Re the show……………., while the wines sound great, they are a little…….(no, a lot), beyond my price point.
    So, I need to take a passie-pass, and settle for 3 bottles of (previously rated) La Linda, or 4 bottles of Los Alamos Melbec….both, pretty darn good wines.
    Not to worry though…….when I hit the lottery, (you gotta play to win), I’ll reconsider the Oregon wines.

    Dude, with another year in the bottle over the 06’s, that 2005 should be smoother, no ?? Have a great 4th – QOTD – bbq … bbq … and more bbq !!
