Great show again!

Here in the Netherlands Portugese wines are very much underrated and I get the feeling that’s the same in the US. You don’t taste Portugese wines very often in the thunder show. I was wondering what you think of the Portugese whites, I never saw one passing the show. I quite like the Portugese whites, especially when they are made of local grapes as Arinto, Roupeiro, Antao Vaz, etc.

Hopefully we will see a show dedicated to Portugese wines.

Keep up the good work!

Excellent show once again. Dont sweat it Gary, youll still be the same loud and loveable you once you get back on that Monday ( already happened, I know ) QOTD: I hope those dirty pats got crushed.

Love love love cava! Thanks for drinking some pink bubbles for us…and that Portuguese one sounds great!

QOTD: watched it late, so no point in “guessing” the score now!

Am watching late. Fascinating show. I thought this was more like your 6th anniversary.

Nice show once again. I have had the Meandro in other vintages and have always liked it. Excellent wine – I’ll have to try this vintage. The pink cava is also intriguing. And don’t dis on my fellow “early Vayniacs” because many of them love the fruit bombs.

Good show! Just getting into bubbles more now. Don’t want to think about Pats too much as obviously they are decimated with injuries.

QOTD: What a great game..except the Jets won. Its ok though, I will be the first to say that I don’t think the Pats are as good as people think they are despite the injuries. It is just starting to catch up.

for your information : rosé cavas are actually cheeper when bought outside Spain (I normally buy them in Belgium, for 2/3 of the Spanish price)…I guess they are not so popular here (in Spain), but I do admit that some of them are wonderful (try even one of the “common” cava brand names in rosé (also pinot noir) Codorniu, and you will be thrilled!) and not expensive at all!

I’m going to try to get the Portuguese wine somewhere…it sounds as if I will really like it as well.
