By the way, I tried the 2005 Red House Wine by Magnificent Wine Co. It is one of the wines produced by Charles Smith. It was pretty delicious for $12. The 2005 definitely needs to be decanted.

QOTD: I have not had a pinot noir from outside the mentioned places. Maybe New Zealand, but it was not anything special. I have seen the German pinots and now i will probably go out and buy one.

I am not sure what twitter is, but I just created an account. The act of persuasion.

Wow, weird to hear your name on WLTV. It’s like that weather guy that does shot outs to people that are 100’s of years old on tv.

THANKS! Need to hit up the store one of these Saturdays.

Awesome! Honestly, I will go out and try some German Pinot’s, but the fact that you said “up in the piece” made my day. Don’t know if that is a regular catch-phrase, but I’ve been saying that for years and rarely hear it. Keep up the great work!

QOTD: Lots of great NZ and Chilean Pinot, but I recently enjoyed Jermann’s 2006 Red Angel on the Moonlight IGT. This wine is from Friuli and was very good. However, I am pretty sure there is a small percentage of merlot blended in.

German Pinot Noir…who’da thunk it. I’ve have a few of the Blauken..whatever and the Zweitgelt that very much resemble PN, but never one directly labeled as such. Good find.

QOTD: I won’t even mention New Zealand as that’s too obvious. So, I’ll go Italian. I don’t remember it too well, but I do recall that I was not impressed.

Looking forward to Thurs. big guest.

GV…Nice hand gestures today. For the king of hand gestures, check out David Byrne of Talking Heads. “Once in a Lifetime” is a classic music video that displays his absurd talents circa 1984 (youtube). Arm chopping motion back at ya Gary.

QOTD: Don’t think I have had one. Actually very few from America. When it comes right down to it the frogs have the Pinot thing down pat…

Great show, I sent it to my buddy who is a winemaker, and married to a German lady. He’ll really get a kick out of it.

QOTD: I’ve been let down by Pinot lately, but I had some from New Zealand, Crawford I think that was pretty good juice.

Greetings from Australia…….

Great show G….

QOTD….Best Pinot Noir I’ve had is a 2005 Labyrinth Pinot out of the Yarra Valley here down under. Australia has some quality Pinot’s happening. Victoria, Tasmania and Western Australia are all producing high quality Pinots……

Fun show, always learn something new, thanks. QOTD: pretty sure it was German, maybe from a town called Assmannshausen.

Thanks for acknowledging the server problem; I was going to comment on that. It’s not only been hard to connect to WLTV for viewing, but also for leaving a comment.

QOTD: I guess the best PN outside France and US would have to be New Zealand (big surprise, huh?), but I’ve had a Chilean PN that wasn’t too bad, and one from Canada. I’ve had one from Idaho, too; is that part of the US?

Pinot is OK as long as it has some body and isn’t too transparent; I like my reds to show some legs don’t ya know.
Smell it first!
