I always watch your show to get a straight, no nonsense review. This show was excellent as always. Searching for an 06 Clio right now.

I love their faux ‘Belle Epoch’ imagery. People eat that stuff up as classic art. But then, again, they eat up Thomas Kinkaid. I set a Kincaid x-mas card to a friend in Philly, and he emailed me back “What a Master. The Philly Art Museum better get right on that , and put one of his paintings up , next to the Rocky Statue!!!!”

Great show GV! Happy Thanksgiving..

QOTD: He-Man by far! Castle Greyskull anyone? Thundercats were cool, but they didn’t have a castle…

Hooray, Jumilla!! Yep, I loves me some Monastrell (Mourvedre). Keeps it in the realm of inky black fruits and earthiness. A site says that Chris Ringland is the winemaker!!! – couldn’t find the winery’s own site , if they have one. Been diggin’ on the Jorge Ordonez purveyed products of Juan Gill and Finca Luzon for several years, among others, and I could almost say it’d be hard to meet a Jumilla I didn’t like. At $10, even Guy Anderson’s Mad Dogs and Englishmen has had some rather notable days, albeit, nothing like these big boys. EASILY worth $34. God eye on including it in the book, GV.

Dolce? Delicious? Yes. Seventy bucks? No, thank you. I’d take a Chateau Les Tertre du Lys d’Or Sauternes for under $30. I’ve actually had French Sauternes for under $20, and trust me- when you host a pouring,they love it like it’s d’Yquem. I’m definately not a sweet tooth guy, but the occasion inevitably comes, when you benefit by pouring the lady/ some ladies ‘the stickies’. Hey – good on ya’ if you’re lucky enough to be one of the rich guys… I’m stuck relying on resourcefulness, economy, thrift to optimalize the modest few bucs I have. GV’s right – there’s lots of stuff that performs remarkably well for 1/2, or even 1/3 the price. But I DO look forward to the event where the finest IS called for…

Are you growing that 11 o’clock shadow to catch the gravy tomorrow? hahaha — Happy Thanksgiving. Say a cellar prayer for me. I’ll be in rural Kansas, hoping to find a good bottle of wine to pair with turkey that does have the words “Strawberry” or “Hill” in the name.

Awesome Ep. The Dolce did look like liquid gold. Don’t really like the sweet wines, so probably wouldn’t buy it, though I wouldn’t turn down a glass if offered to me.

The hair on your beard is rivaling the hair on your head!
Happy Turkey day!

I’m glad to hear you liked the 06 better than the 05. I only got to have the 05, so I don’t know what the previous vintages were like. But, anyways, 05 was really good, but didn’t rock my world. I think it was over hyped for me. I’m glad this 06 looks to be an even better effort. Thanks for the review, Gary!

Both of those wines sounded impressive, but I would take the red over the sweet white for the sake of value. I am not convinced the glass was sufficiently rinsed after the first wine to give a completely accurate picture of the color of the second wine.

Happy Thanksgiving!

QOTD – neither figure on the table.

Nice show. Would love to try the El Nido Clio some time (any vintage).
QOTD: No freaking idea.

How much for the open bottle of Clio? You guys must’ve set a record on case purchases today. Great job!! I’ll have to find it locally as my state (IL) has handcuffed WL from shipping to me.

QOTD: Neither. Gimme a naked Barbie any day.
