Good show.

QOTD – Right now I am drinking Sauvignon Blanc, Brancott 2007 from New Zealand, Joesph Verdier 2004 Sancerre, and Chateau Souverain 2005 Alexander Valley California. this is an exercise I am following to determine the different styles of the grape. Man am I having fun, study hall was never this much fun!!!

QOTD: Most recent bottles — Beckmen Estate Grenache, Benton Lane Pinot Noir, Gary Farrell Sauvignon Blanc, a nice Aglianico, a cheap Chianti (bottles not handy, and names not memorable)

I’m lucky to have all 4

Last wine was a bottle of Phillips Hill Pinot Noir with my wife and friends in Cape May. Great setting, food and the wine brought it all together.

Very interested in trying the Rosenblum, haven’t ahd a Petite Sirah in a long time, so long not sure what it was!

I am finally getting caught up…almost there.

QOTD: Water…seriously.

Interesting show – it is always good to see how some of the cheaper wines go.

QOTD: Lately I’ve been drinking some very good Picpoul de Pinet – only discovered it recently, but it is a nice change from a riesling or sauv blanc.

That Rosenblum sounds great… The first Petite Sirah I had was the Concannon Limited Release that you suggested a few years ago. Good stuff!

QOTD: I am drinking the 2006 Yering Station Pinot Noir Rosé Extra Dry. It’s pretty good, actually! One of the better Rosé’s I’ve had. I wouldn’t agree with the 90 points by Josh Raynolds, but still… tasty.

QOTD: Enjoying two GV roco’s: the Prado Ayala 2006 Rioja and the 2006 Espelt. I went nuts over the 2005 Espelt (I still have one bottle tucked away that I can’t bear to pop), and was really leery of them doing the same thing again. They did. The 2006 brings the same serious under-$10 thunder as its predecessor. Prado’s bringing the same brand of value thunder. These are both “real” wines for 10 bucks. Can’t beat that on a Tuesday night.

Still need the yellow one

QOTD: NV Pichetti Tahoe Red. This neighbor of Ridge is putting out some very good juice.

Nice show Gary. I always grab a Petite Sirah when I see one as the QPR is usually great.

When will we see Pops again? It’s been a while.

Funnily enough, Wine Spectator issued their “Tasting Highlights: California Petite Sirah” on their website yesterday. Their two top picks are ROSENBLUM Petite Sirah Napa Valley Pickett Road 2006 and ROSENBLUM Petite Sirah Contra Costa County Pato Vineyard 2006… 2006 must have been a good vintage for Rosenblum.

QOTD: Tenuta di Arceno 2004 PrimaVoce. If you’re into mocha coffee goodness, give this wine a try.

Most recently drank a flight of 4 white wines with dinner at Merriman’s in Waimea, Hawaii. Two were quite average, another had that hint of burnt rubber I don’t like, and the 4th had a very interesting and complex nose(honeysuckle and a bunch of other things on the sniffy-sniff) but was not focused and probably not worth remembering for when the vacation is over.

Been drinking madiran lately (laplace specifically). Really digging the tannat grape. Love a wine that bites me back!

Actually been drinking black cherry martinis lately.. I sure love black cherry vodka.

Love the Mean Grimace Reference! You need a Grimace for your table. They used to make them back in the 70’s. Classic!

QOTD: Today, a Cottesbrook Sauv. Bl. from New Zealand. Earlier today, enjoyed
a Malbec rose from France. Both very unusual and distinctive.

It’s nice to be back watching GV kicking some A! I love the value shows, and I find the Rosenblum finding very interesting.

QOTD: I’m drinking a lot of things, but lately I’ve been leaning toward CDR, Barbera, and New world white blends. Usually the choice depends upon the dinner menu

I have all of the wrist bands. I will have to see if I can get them all together and send in a pick with all of them.

I’m all over wristband #1… I’ve tried numerous times to get #s 2 through 4 with no success…

QOTD: I can’t get off Italian reds right now. I just tried a wine called Caprari. It’s a sparkling red for less than 15 bones…very fun wine!
