Hey Gary, now that I’m not thinking about the Eagles non-stop anymore, I was wondering if you are going to be at the Atlantic City wine spectator show? $200 bones per ticket is a lot, but worth it if you are going to be there. Let me know, and come to Philly already…

My husband, daughter and I were in Puglia this last summer. My parents were born there and we took a trip to see the area.

We were introduced to a red wine in Puglia that we luckily found at a wine store in New York City.

Alberto Longo, “Le Cruste”, 100% Nero di Troia. We love it!

I like this new format, and I really like the idea of the long episodes where you get into several wines from a particular region! Keep it fresh baby!

QOTD: No.

QOTD: Yes! I used to drink Puglia in college quite a bit – Price point played a big roll in that.

Good luck Cynthia and boyfriend/perhaps fiance at this point (depending on how Cynthia took it).

Cheers

Nice show G-sauce!

QOTD: I have explored that area, because that very wine is one of the few “different” things that my local store carries. I’ve said before that I’m from a po-dunk town in New Mexico, and there are really only a couple places I can get wine. I don’t like yellowtail, and I get sick of Penfolds and Rosemont…so I go with what they’ve got, and the Tormaresca is one of my faves.

Love this region…good Italian wines at fantabulously good prices! Like the new format sometimes I just don’t have 20 minutes in my day-life gets so busy at times I don’t know how you keep it up! Love the learning part too – give us more 411 on the wines!!!!

QOTD: YES had many but haven’t bought any recently have to revisit it!

Congrats on the engagement hope it all works out! Will they name their first boy after you too!!

qptd: yes, I’ve had the wine you tasted today and several other Puglia IGT and Salice Salentino DOC wines. I can’t name any other producers, but I’ve been happy with quite a few of these wines in the $9-$16 range. I love the earthy funkiness that many of them deliver while maintaining balance with a good amount of fruit.
Thanks for another good show. I like when you do more wines, but this format is nice too. Maybe one of your marathon shows next week could be “other” (non-port) fortified wines and include 3-4 Madeiras with a vintage Madeira included. It’s just a thought.

No, but I’m curious about your first “QOTD” and what she said.

I like the new format, especially if you’re going to go into detail about some of the history and legacy of a type. I’d like to see more broadly educational (maybe one every two weeks) on par with the classic episode where you tasted all sorts of jams, jellies, socks, to expand your palate.

QOTD: YES! Wow, we had this exact wine last night in the 2000 vintage.(bottle still on table) We could not pick the same characteristics as you, may have been the vintage difference or maybe we just suck at reviewing wine. Anyway, we scored it an 86 on cork’d about 12 hours ago.

QOTD: Oh yeah! I have had the past three vintages of the wine Gary tasted today. 2 years ago it was strictly a negroamaro-cab blend, it is way better now!

Enjoyed the one-wine format — and I’m sure I’ll enjoy the long episodes too. I like that you mix it up.

QOTD: I’ve had a few wines from Puglia. A recent example is Albert Longo Cacc’e Mmitte Di Lucera 2005, which is a blend of Uva di Troia, Montepulciano, and Bombino Bianco.

Susan B
Yes. I have definitely had Primitivo on more than one occasion. (I used to work with a Chris Mc Grath–wonder if it is the same one).
January 20, 2009

QOTD: Yes

2007 Castel di Salve Armecolo Salento Rosso (80% Negroamaro and 20% Malvasia Nera di Lecce) and I’ve also had other negroamaro wines from this producer.

And 2001 Taurino, Salice Salentino, Rosso, Riserva

I have licked the heel of the boot…Mainly Salice salentino and some primitivos

Hey – nice “deep” show..

Great to see a nice wine, with some complexity from Puglia – In my time I have had sooo many dissapointments from this region BUT of course I keep trying and exploring
(QOTD: Yes, have had many – we sell Puglia-wines in the boatloads, as every-day wines)

I did like this compact show – but I must say I’m looking forward to the looong shows – I love it when a show goes on for a while, especially when there is a guest present, so your conversation becomes relaxed and free

Many thanks Mr. GV, for keeping the thunder alive and mixing it up

Gary…
Love the idea of in-depth focus on one wine… more opportunities for greater education, greater education = more opportunities for changing the wine world!

Keep up the rockin’ the passion for life, love and humanity, my friend!

QOTD: no

smoochies!

Hey Gary, like the new format…while we love the show period…everything needs a “freshen up” every once in a while, great idea.

I’ve had primitivos, barberas and dolcetto d’albas…making my way around Italy one bottle at a time!

Hugs and kisses from Kentucky!

QOTD: yes! I had the Tormaresca wines a lot of times, because they are also widely distributed in Germany, and I like them very much. Especially their value-for-money
