QOTD1: I’ve heard Pomeral wines described as containing a hint of “iron filth” and I’ve always been intrigued to find out just what the hell that’s supposed to mean. One day when I get a bit more cash, I intend to find out

QOTD2: I think that Adam will take it – that guy is the only reason that I’m keeping my eye on the show (- absolutely sick cover of Tears for Fears “Mad World” if anybody hasn’t seen it.)

Good show, the only things I know of Pomerol is R bank, merlot, and Petrus.

Nice fun little show. You need to do a little tour. Show the Vayniacs your “cellar.” Show us what you have stashed away for 2010 and beyond…..

QOTD1: I need to learn more about the area, but I respect that they dont have a class system. Never tried a wine from Pomerol but Id love to own Bordeauxs from all regions to taste the differences.

QOTD2: Dont care for American Idol. Do some of them have the ability to sing? Sure. Do they sing anything meaningful? ehhhh. Id rather listen to Steely Dan, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, etc. No manf. music for me.

GV-love you, your passion and pod cast. It makes my commute from Sactown to Oakland bearable plus educational. I have tried my first white burgundy on your recommendation and got SCHOOLED at BevMo. I asked for the white burgundy and was taken to the red section (clue one, I was sooo outta my league) and the clerk points to a wine and I say, “what…behind the chardonnay” she politely clarifies that I wanted a white burgundy, right? …and edjumacates me that is a french chardonnay. She went on to say french chardonnays are tottttalllly different than buttery/sweet CA chardonnays. Dooohhhh, but drinking it right now and like it. I’m just opening up to the possibility of white wine and never liked CA chardonnay’s. Thanks for pushing me to try new things…and given I married a New Jersey Man…I’m of course partial to you.

QOTD-Kris of course

We just had a bottle of 83 Petit Village at the weekend (with Entrecote) and we loved it!! (95 points) – This wine simply needs time until you can really enjoy it. So keep the rest of your bottles, try again in 2027 and let’s hope we’re both still alive!
Best wishes

I found a couple good wine guides on Free Book Quest, but their legality might be in question. Does anyone know a good guide for someone just getting into wines?

Hey Gary,

nice show again!

Question 1: Pomerol is stunning! Just had a huge tasting of Lafleur with couple Sommeliers and Wine writers. Huge Vintages like 90, 95 and 01, but as well some lower rated, but perfect wines from the years like 99 and 98. Have a taste on 07. It’s pretty traditional and very elegant and of course still in oak – was a cask sample.
Aside of Lafleur I’m not sure if the price difference from the tops like Le Pin and Petrus to the rather unknown producers isn’t far too large? I’m having much more fun in enjoying high-quality wines from not overrated producers. But it’s nice to see how good a quality Merlot-based blend can mature and bring so much deepness to the wine…

Question 2: Have no idea, cause I’m in Germany… Plus I probarbly wouldn’t care.

Have a nice day!
Greetings from Germany – The most passionate Riesling-producing-Country!!
