Too bad about the Volver…the 2005 was quite fine and had a nice cedar play.
The Las Hormigas is predictably good.

OK show! Seems like you really went the value route on this one.

QOTD – You say Omaha, and I say Beef – perhaps the cow on the banner behind you threw me. I also think Cornhusker and the plains.

I love the live shows. The change of the show is inevitable and nothing remains the same. Keep pumping out content

Wow, lipstick girl

QOTD: The classic song “Omaha Stylee” by 311

Catching up on episodes hence the late reaction….but Naia kicks ass & in my book runs circles around all the Ruedas I’ve tasted. Elegance, freshness, minerality and charm…not 88 points. Must’ve been the fact that it was colder than what you’re used to. Give it another shot when you get the chance, your friend, Paul

QOTD – Two things:

1) The Counting Crows song. “Omaha, somewhere in the middle of America…”

2) My college roommate had a teddy bear named Omaha. “Omaha, somewhere in the middle of Larry’s bed”

QOTD: I say Cornhuskers. I know that that U of Nebraska is in Lincoln but “Cornhuskers” was the first thing that I thought of when I heard Omaha. It is what it is.

I have that malbec in my “cellar” with other malbecs. I haven’t had it yet but it’s popular and I felt like checking it out.
