QOTD1: I drink bordeaux wine but I don’t think about it as much as other regions. I’m more Burgundian.

QOTD2: Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, or Adam Theatrical Guy. I’m a Danny Gokey fan.

QOTD 1: never had a Pomerol, the closest I have come is a Chateau Soutard St. Emillion its’ next door neighbor. It rocked the house.

QOTD 2: From the little I’ve seen it has to be Adam Lambert.

Always giving us the curveball….excellent! Good show

1. I lost my virginity to Pomerol today. This meaning it’s my first time hearing about it. Always excited to try new wines!

2. My guess is Matt Giraud. The man and the piano always wins.

Hey Gary,

Great show. I’m glad to see some Pomerols. I asked you the other day “what do you drink at home?” I wonder if this is an answer to my question! (coincidence I’m sure) I love Pomerols. La Conseillante is high on my list. As for the QOTD— Sorry , I don’t watch American Idol.

One of the first wines I purchased from WL (old store) was a ‘98 Pomerol, Certan de May I think. Good stuff. American Idol, no thanks.

Thanks for raiding your cellar for us, GV!

QOTD Uno – Only had a few but loved them. If I remember correctly they came with a higher price point which might have put me off from further pours.

I dug the ep. I always like it when there’s a flop wine in the lineup. Hmm, thought you’d be balling with a larger LCD TV.

QOTD: American what?

Thanks Gary

OK show.

QOTD 1: Pomerol? It’s strange that despite a huge love of Cabernet I tend to avoid Boudreaux. Not really sure why. Maybe it’s because it’s long term wine sealed with unreliable corks. Maybe because I think it’s grossly over priced in Hong Kong. Maybe because I think it’s often over-rated (from a bloke who hasn’t drunk first growth. So sorry no favourite.

QOTD 2: What … who knows … sho cares?

Cheers

QOTD: I haven’t really had enough Pomerol to have any real opinion about, though, these days Bordeaux (rouge) is actually about one of the last places I’m interested in spending my tiny wine budget. That might change someday.

And I have never watched American Idol.

Bringin’ it home Gary! Thank you for having us, the vaniacs, over.

My experience with Pomerol is limited, but in my recent tastings, I’ve enjoyed a 2004, Jean Pierre Mouiex which stood out. Big wine, big bucks, but worthy of the prestige.

QOTD: Pomerol is what other Merlot’s wish they were.
QOTD: It’s glorified karaoke, I don’t have time for it.

The only bottle of Pomerol we have; is still sitting in the cellar.

Trying to decide when to drink it. Never had one.

Four Birthdays in our family next month; that sounds like a good reason to try it.

Did another blind tasting last Sunday @ our grandson’s birthday party.
Did 5 < $15 a bottle; French reds. Really tuff to give them a score.
But it was fun…..it is very tough to do though.

QOTD: Been to Pomerol once, not the prettiest Bordeaux area, but very unassuming considering its reputation. I guess it’s the Burgundy of Bordeaux in terms of small vineyards and mega-expensive wines. Not tasted many, but a good one that’s not too pricey is Chateau Beauregard. Here in the UK you can get the 2004 for around £28 (about $40).

I’ve never seen American Idol.

In your comments on the first Pomerol, you said, “You can’t even find this in the US…” So why am I watching? Sorry, you lost me. But I’ll be back watching tomorrow, as always.

Good show Gary, thanks for pulling stuff from your own cellar… but where is the Le Pin? :-p

QOTD1: I’m fond of Pomerol, but I tend to like St. Emilion a bit more, especially from a QPR standpoint.

QOTD2: I don’t watch American Idol.
