@ S. Cronce – We got two boxes here. One with the wines listed for #600, and another with the Thunder Cuvee white, a Torrontes, a Bourgogne Rouge pinot noir, and the B. Shifrin Howell Mt. Zin. They showed up a few days apart. Weird.

Due to the weather I didn’t get my xmas pack here in California until Saturday. I’m a little confused, my 4 wines don’t match this episode.

The invoice says… SKU 43117 “Wltv Secret Christmas Pack 2008″.
In the box I have…
1 – 2006 Monteflores Merlot
1 – 2004 Montirius Gigondas
1 – 2005 Green Groves Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
1 – 2005 Clos Du Prieur

Anyone else have this happen?

I asked a bartender at a Ruby Tuesdays last night “Which of these Chardonnays do you think has the least oak?” He had no idea what I was talking about. Told me it would probably be the sweeter wines that were at the top of the list instead of the drier wines toward the bottom. Of course since I only started drinking wines again a couple months ago… well, a couple months ago, I would not have known about over-oaked Chards either, and at least he was being honest and taking his best guess. I went for a dry one, Frei Brothers, but told him if it was full of Oak I would be diving across the bar claws out in my best “Oak Monster” impression. That was when he pulled the night stick out and beat the crap out of me in a back alley.

Not really on that last bit, but I can’t just post.. “Hey here is another post toward 600!”

Gary’s probably watching this right now to see it hit 600… I am just hoping he doesn’t ask for 1000 next year.

Great to see and hear from the Mottster! Would have sent a secret pack to Illinois for the big family xmas, but state law prohibits. Maybe Blago will fix this in his final days in office Best of luck on your next 600, and keep ‘em coming!

Ditto on the blind tastings. You were nailing those price points!

Nice job with the sparkling wine on the Today show! Also, this got me motivated to try more Rhone wine. It’s been too long since my last chateauneuf du pape.

Thank you so much, Gary and Chris, for all of the great episodes. I liked that Chris made such an appearance on this one. It seemed fitting to me. I didn’t get a secret pack and now I kind of wish I had.
