I haven't tried the two wines reviewed here but Anderson Valley hasn't given me sparks for quite some time. My palate still digs the Carneros + Santa Barbara and Cali Central Coast for pinot including Acacia, Saintsbury, Sanford, Estancia, etc. What do you think of those areas, by comparison, Gary? The russian river pinots at my last voyage to Sonoma were also way over priced and uninteresting, IMHO.

qotd2: Chocolate + Peanut Butter

Yes, I "liked" my own comment but am just trying to get your attention. Forgot to put up the producer's website: http://www.tjwinery.com/

Old school, central VA wine territory. You should think about doing a show w/ focus on Thomas Jefferson and his love for wine finding its re-roots in Monticello. Especially w/ Claude, the Franco-American connection.

Gary — if you're looking for American sparkling then find the Thibaut-Janisson, produced in Virginia. Chardonnay — 25-30 bones. The winemaker is from Verzenay, is now a U.S. citizen, and also made Iron Horse and “J” sparklers. It's been getting lots of press at the White House, and Citronelle pours it by the glass.

QOTD: Aloe Vera gelato (had it in Trieste, north Italy, maybe it was a a time and place thing- point scoring bs!) It was a perfect balance between sweet and savoury, so have some and you won't have to run to the refrigerator Gary!

The weather brings back memories of a dismal June. Catching up several weeks later.
QOTD1 – I am not a radish or cucumber fan, i could see celery as a replacement for me. However, I would NOT like this after dessert.

QOTD2 – Chocolate chip.

Fun show, like the change of scenery. We had a fun drive up through Anderson Valley on our way to Mendocino (mini-honeymoon after our Napa wedding). A pinot noir from Navarro brought us up there. Lots of good places I’m sure, we only had time for a few.

QOTD: COFFEE ice cream FTW! Hate coffee, love coffee ice cream…go figure.
