Damn Gary, the idea of a mean Grimace just doesn’t compute, when you mentioned that the idea of an angry Barney the purple dinosaur popped into my mind and all I could think about was BARNEY SMASH! Now THAT I can picture.

QOTD: Well, while I was watching this video, I’ve been drinking a heaping glass of ice water.

I am drinking a Capital Brewery Summer Seasonal Beer, called “Prairie Gold”. Really good, and glad you did PS on your show. I’m looking forward to my next PS, and hopeful that I will get the opportunity to try one soon.

Interesting show, I’ve been trying to check out more Napa/Sonoma (since I’m in the neighborhood) wines lately since I realized I’ve been drinking too much South American (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay) stuff and nothing else.

I’ll take a break from my South American friends (don’t worry, I’ll be back) and look for some PS from Cali.

QOTD: I did just have a Gruner Veltliner for the first time the other day, found it a bit perfume-y for my taste, but interesting enough to try again.

Looks like I’ll be searching for new wines rather than the old standby’s for a few weeks. Thanks Gary!

I am into Spanish wines. I am driking Costers del Gravet 50% Cab, 30% Granacha, 10% Carinena and 10% Tempranillo. Nice mix, good with food or by itself. Very similar to the Dominio de Longaz which WL carried but is out.

Great episode. I love PS and just had a great Ausie (Durif) over the past couple of nights. I’m not sure if anyone else mentioned this but you reviewed the 05 Heritage from Rosenblum last year and gave it an 89. Interestingly, and pretty cool, your tasting notes were very similar for each vintage indicating some consistency from the terrior and winemaking process, as well as your palate.

QOTD – For the summer we have been drinking quite alot of Oregon Pinot Gris.

QOTD – Old vine zins and Barbera, although last week we had a couple of the 06 Panther Creek Pinot’s and they brought alot of thunder for us. Great show, and I know exactly where I can get the Rosenblum and expand my pal because I have never had a Petite Sirah…so, thank you!

QOTD: Currently, back to the Pinot Gris/Grigio survey, working my way up the price scale as well as across the Okanagan wineries. Half-bottle of Santa Margherita in the fridge just now, and picked up a bottle of Saumur, Les Pouches for something a little different (I hope).

Only have the last 2 wristbands–2 of each

QOTD: Lately, many of my older Zins specifically the 2000’s. A few seemed like they weren’t doing much in the bottle which is why I was a little worried about cellaring Zins for a long period of time. The 2000 vintage was rainy and a meh vintage for a lot of CA. However I opened a 2000 Carlisle Zin and it still had a lot of its punch so I’m done with the Zins for a while. This weekend, some Oriel Prosecco, Herman Weimer Blanc de Blanc and some Rose–Sofia and Lea’s Syrah Rose. Might put the Oriel up against a bottle of the Rao’s prosecco that I recently purchased and see which one I like best.

QOTD: Last night we tried the 2006 Selaks Ice Wine that you wrote about in your book. It was indeed outstanding. My wife thanks you much.

QOTD: With my limited budget, I have been scouring my local stores for some different value driven wines. Had an ‘05 Trapiche Malbec…fantastic.

Just got a 2005 Avalon Cab. Sauv…. I like it quite a bit. Though I’m still a bit of a newbie I remember having cabs in the past that were pucker city due to the tannins. Not a big fan of that. This Avalon ‘05, I liked a lot. Nice chocolate, cherry, boysenberry aroma. Not a super long finish, but still at under 8 bones, a great tasting wine my budget can handle.

QOTD: Mostly local wines (I’m right in the middle of the Sierra Foothills AVA). Lots of different varietals. Right now, just finishing off an interesting Boeger Tempranillo.

Only have the Gen 2 wristband

QOTD: Well, wine wise, prosecco. Nice and refreshing in the summer time and goes well with food. But, right now, I’m drinking a nice tall glass of iced tea with the right amount of lemon. mmmmmm.

Hmm…. let’s see. The best of late was a split of Heidsieck Monopole Blue Top but that was rare and wonderful. Other bottles include some Thorne-Clark shiraz and Arbor Crest Cab. FWIW.
