Interesting…..Mid pallet comment.

I’d like to see a show; with a wine, that you know gives a fantastic mid pallet; vs one you know is abscent a mid pallet. Because I’m not sure I get the whole mid pallet tasting evaluation deal.

I’ve been serioulsy trying many many different wines since first watching you in 2006. I definitely would not have done prior to this show.

QOTD: Love ‘em. A visit to Poliziano during the excellent 2004 harvest was the moment the my life became completely wine-obsessed. I recently had a bottle of the 04 Asinone which completely blew me away. I haven’t had the DEI ‘04, but was disappointed to hear you didn’t like it after I’d had great experiences with the ‘01

Cheers!!

Hey Gary- I’ve been to that area- excellent wines. One thing- Montelcino is a town not far from Montepulciano but they are different. The wines are from Montelpuciano, you kept saying Montelcino. I bought one of those recently, can’t wait to try it!

Oops Gary you keep on saying Montalcino when you mean to say Montepulciano. Mon-tay-pool-chee-ah-no accent on the ‘ah’. (I took 1 yr of Italian in college)
Hey I hope your Jets win today versus the Raiders.
Oh, nice wristband!
These wines seem very interesting! Dunno if I have tried. Have certainly tried fair share of Sangiovese based Italian wines.

QOTD: These wines can be great values for the price, especially when compared to the price structure changes that have happened with Barolo and Barbaresco, as well as with some “Super Tuscans” with over-priced branded names.

QOTD: I agree again about expanding the pal. I have loved trying some of the “other” italians.

Gary – its Mon-te-pul-ci-a-no – when you were pronouncing it, it sounded more like Montalcino which may confuse your viewers not that Italy is confusing enough on its own! not to be confused with montepulciano d’abrruzi…ofcourse….i love your show…..we have the same palattes and view points on wine but I had to correct you

Nice quick episode, especially since I am catching up. Nice info on a new wine for me.
