great sound effects today!!! What the hell was that???
…favorite Cali wine this year would have to be the 2005 “Les Galets” syrah from McPrice Myers. It was not ready on the first day, but on the second night…WOW!!

Just an observation about that Lynmar pinot that shows why it’s always better to share wine with others. It was the type of extraordinary wine that after your first sip you look at the other(s) in the room hoping to see the same look of, “OMG, tell me that was as good as I know it was.” I LOVE those moments

QOTD: Flora Springs Trilogy 2004 Rutherford, Napa…threw sediment, surprising earth and tertiary aromas…In a blind tasting I would have guessed it was a high end Brunello or right bank Bordeaux. Just fantastic!

Great episode.

QOTD: I LOVE the Frias Family Red blend, 2005. Best Cali wine I’ve had this year. Only 420 cases made, $30 wine that tastes as good or better than some $100+ napa cabs I’ve had, and the guys who make it are just awesome. I got to sit down and chill out with Manny Frias at his little 5 acre Cabernet vineyard and tasting location in the woods in Napa, and was so impressed with him. Gary (and others) if you have not had a Frias Family wine, you need – NEED – to seek out their Red blend. At $30, its a steal. their website is on my name-link for today.

Wow, great cause… Too bad I can’t get the Cathy C Cab in a single bottle. I’d definitely grab one for my video blog “I heart Napa Cabs” at http://mattiej.com . Anybody wanna split a case

Big G, Great one if I wasn’t way over my Wine budget I’d be dropping coin on that last one.

QOTD: Shafer Hillside select 04. Killed it.

Cheers Gary

Looks like a great cause.
QOTD: none! I don’t drink much US wine at all. In HK there never seems to be much avaliable and what is seems over priced and bad value. Really looking to find a few interesting bottles at some stage soon.

I’m a Mom, so I’m a multi-tasker. Listen to news on Ipod waiting in lines, type and talk and fax and text, put on makeup and drive and now buy wines with a purpose. I like that. I’m sure it will taste even better because of it.

Amazing show. Love the sound of that last one. Too bad I’d have to buy a whole case to get it (I don’t have a spare 1200 U.S. dollars sitting around).

QOTD: hmm…can’t remember back the whole year…maybe the 2002 Renwood Zinfandel Grandmere.
