Got the first 3 wristbands, though the dog got them a bit too. Where do I get the 4th? Missed that….Loved the Rosenblum Lyon’s Reserve 2005 Zinfandel, I’ll have to try the Petite Syrah.

I drank a 2006 Rose from Shoestring (in SB County) that was much better at the winery than now. Saw the 2006 McPrice Myers L’Ange Rouge the other day and am going to snap that up b/c 2005 was delicious. Got my first taste on Inskilin (sp.?) Ice Wine the other day and loved it.

I have the first three wristbands!

QOTD: Friday night I had a Cascina Morassino Langhe Nebbiolo which is a great value and after I saw Joe G’s value Italian Ustream video I was a little inspired to get back to my roots of drinking value Italian wines and picked up a couple today. Right now I am drinking an 06 La Sibilla Campi Flegrei Piedirosso.

QOTD: Today I’m drinking the Rioja with a dog on it. Pretty good, not changing my world, but for $10 it’s very solid.

QOTD: Last night I had a bottle of 2005 Zacherle Syrah and 2001 ViÃ±a Almaviva S.A. Almaviva (one hell of a bottle of wine). For what it’s worth I have all 4 generations of wristbands.

I have been trying a lot of spanish wines. Protocolo, and a 2006 Burgans Albarino. Also just had a St Julians Reisling from Michigan. Lots of wine made here in Michigan, and I havent tried much so I am making it a point to do just that. I think Gary V rated the reisling I tried a ways back. It was actually pretty good.

drinking alot of sauvignon blanc and pinot nor during these hot summer nights in Reno, NV.

Favorites: Groth and Ladera SB
Kenwood “Russian River Valley” Pinot Noir (value)

suprised you didn’t taste Concannon Petite Sirah since it is a value wine AND the first Petite Sirah produced in America (1887 or 1189)

QOTD: Pocono Pale ale has got me hooked lately. Should grab a petite, it’s been a while.

Totally gots the first wristband. Still the greatest one (or never smart enough to get the other editions).

QOTD: 02′ Ballantine Zin, 05′ WH Smith Cab, 04′ Henri Boillot Meursault, and water. Lots of water.

Thanks Gary for putting the Thundercat I gave you on the show!

QOTD: I have recently been drinking a lot of great teas I’ve gotten from Harney and Sons, maybe you could do a show on tea in the future.

QOTD : Aussie Shiraz. Had the 2005 Turkey Flat yesterday. RP gave it a 95; I would go more like 92+. A very solid effort, but not a mind blowing 95. Going to have the 2005 Massena Epsilon Shiraz tonite. RP 94 pts. Will be interesting to see how they compare.

Love the petite syrah ! Have had the 2003 Foppiano & it was great (would go 91 +) Have not had the most recent version. Stags Leap is my favorite PS though.

Gary!! LOVE YOUR SHOW, LOVE YOUR ENERGY, LOVE THE “SNIFFY SNIFF”!!!

Lot 205 Petite Sirah ROCKS! You didn’t mention this, but after it is open about 30 minutes is opens up tremendously and is BLUEBERRY PIE. AWESOME. Acutally, I think the wine is pretty sophisticated, especially for the price…just the kind of QPR I look for!!

As far as Rosenblum–WATCH OUT! Constellation wines just bought them and everything Constelation touches turns to absolute CRAP. Sad but true (in my opinion).

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR AWESOME SHOW AND GREAT ATTITUDE TOWARDS WINE! SPREAD THE LOVE!

QOTD: I just had a 2005 Frick Carignane . It was Frickin’ good. I couldn’t believe the Frickin’ strawberries, the Frickin’ raspberries, and the Frickin’ cherries on the initial attack. It was hollow on the mid palate and kicked back in with some Frickin’ pepper. I have also been drinking alot of anything from the Languedoc.

Drinking new world rhone style white blends. Working back through some wines that I used to drink before even stuff like chilean merlot to see how my palate has changed.

Loads of Western Australian Shiraz – trying to find the best available WA Shiraz on the irish market.

Whites from Rueda as well – but then isnt everyone ?

QOTD: I just came back from a summer holiday in England. Surprisingly, Australian wines are cheap there compared to Germany, where I live. So I splurged and brought home 20 bottles of various price ranges and varietals. One of the best so far was a Cabernet Merlot blend from Willow Bridge, a 2006 “Dragonfly” for around 10-11 bones. Really well balanced and full of character for a wine in this price range.

The 2005 Heritage Clone was phenomenal. Looking forward to this one.

We drink something new pretty much every time we drink. Whites have been dominating, with GewÃ¼rztraminer, Viognier (and other Cotes du Rhone whites), Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc from all over, and Chenin Blanc making up the majority, but also digging the Portuguese, Greek, and Chilean reds. Really looking for cool new stuff to try…it’s harder to get rarities like Hungarian reds and whites, other South Americans, Balkan, Canadian non-ice wines. Really like the “thank you” intros; it’s nice to see people appreciating what they have and realizing how great they have it!

How about a little Melon de Bourgogne from De Ponte Cellars out in Dundee Oregon…
