Just caught this episode today – I have to say when I tried the Zen of Zins back in February
http://agoodtimewithwine.com/2009/02/15/grocery-store-zins/
I was not impressed at all. I know it’s only $11, but I just didn’t really find a ton there. There are a host of Zins that for just a few bucks more, offer a ton more flavor and fun!

Maybe it was me…

Have not had the chance to get these wines as of yet. The nice thing is I can come back and view this episode when I do have the opportunity.

Signed up on cork’d a while back and use the same screen name _Pawncop.

Late to the trio tasting. I, too, love the quiet solo episodes where yo get down to tasting some interesting wines based on feedback and recommendations from your fellow Vayniacs.

QOTD: Take a wild guess . . . yes, Dominus. As here, been there from the beginning.

Cheers!

QOTD: youngdave is my username, and I created it back when you announced your takeover of cork’d. I have to admit that I haven’t posted any scores on there in about 2 years, which is a shame because I’m reviewing about 10 to 20 new wines per week now… I’ll try to get on that.

Gary, late comment here. Tasting solo so I chose the Allegrini, although I didn’t notice it was the 05 until watching the episode. I didn’t get dark chocolate, but I will agree it was black tea city down in that glass. Paired it with some cheese and the tea faded leaving some nice fruit. Good idea for a show. I was already a corkd member, and you already friended me up. Thanks.

Nice little show – but Kahuna is right; you won’t keep up with it.

QOTD: JayZee of course.

good little show, I agree that maybe this could be done on the Friday couch.
Some lead time on the wines might help us out too. Give yourself a break and maybe do this every two weeks or so, it’s a great idea, but then maybe Kahuna will not be breathing down your neck.
QOTD: BurroBoy …keeping it simple.

Man you really want to take Cellar Tracker now!
Why don’t you use Cellar Tracker instead of Corkd? It’s already out there and I can’t tell the difference besides CT having many more bottles, many more reviews and having much more experience. Good luck with Corkd in any case!

Gary,

Even though I can’t afford all the wines you taste, and I can’t really to taste along with you either, it’s still a blast to watch you. I check out your site nearly everyday for great deals to use on my under-$20 wine review site, WineWelfare.com.

Hope that’s ok with you. Ha!

Keep up the great work, man.

This was my first visit after hearing you on Dr. Oz XM show. What fun! I’m a new fan for sure. I love the bold, spicy reds like Amarone and Zin, so I’m anxious to try the Allegrini. In ‘95 or ‘96, I had a wonderful zin from Silverado Winery in Napa at a restaurant in Denver. It must have been a late harvest because it was definitely raisin-y, but what I loved, loved, loved was the very distinct taste of fresh-cracked black pepper it was screaming at my palate! Where can I get more of this spicy, black pepper taste? I ask everywhere and everyone, and no one has given me a satisfactory answer. Do you know?

It is definitely not on there by mistake. This could be a conflict of interest with his reviews of wines, what’s next, sponsorship by E & J Gallo?

My corkd name is Marz. Been on there for over 2 years (at least that’s what 2 of my 3 reviews say;) ). Just now worked on my profile. And yes, we’re drinking buddies already!
