Really enjoyed this show. It’s always more fun if GV loves or hates the wines and he luuuurved one of these.

    My favorite Cab experience is also memorable for how absurd it was. Too long for the whole story, but the setting was a few years ago at a nice resturaunt in Vancouver, four of us for dinner, a bottle of Opus and a HUGE misunderstanding with the waiter. We pointed to the selection on the menu and they gave us (and tried to charge us for) a more expensive Opus (?).

    qotd: well I have had some interesting/Good entry cab like Don David, and Circus

    I messed up the name of the wine I mentioned for under $20. It's actually Louis M. Martini 2007 sonoma Cab. Probably easy to figure out once you go to buy it, but I think it's always better to clarify.

    Mike-let me know if you have any more recommendations for cheap Cab. Thanks!

    GV – I will be looking for that cab…loved seeing the excitement!

    Hmm. Big personality … didn't like at first … now do. Reminds me of someone I know … 😀

    QOTD: Geyser Peak Cab 2005. I received a gift certificate to Wild Fire from my place of employment for some hard work that I did. My wife and I went out and had a great time. Perfect cab according to my palate.

    Hey, I know I'm late 2 the party but this Cab rocks for $10 bones. I was at Vinology; a wine bar in Ann Arbor two nights before this episode aired and this was on the “by the glass” menu and I took a pazzz. Had a great Montepulciano d?Abruzzo instead. Found the Ville de Anges in a local store. Not a blow my doors off wine, but truly a tremendous value play for those of us who drink 7 days a week but only break out the over $40 sh*t on the weekends. Great job GV!!!

  • QOTD: I never comment since I watch these episodes a long time after they've been aired but this QOTD reminded me of one of my first wine experiences.

    Back in 1996, I was fresh out of college & took a trip with friends out to San Francisco. While out there, we did the Mondavi tour in Napa. I didn't know jack about wine but I liked it. Anyway, a short while later I was invited to dinner at a friend's place. So I picked up a bottle of Mondavi '94 Reserve Cab. It was about $25. Pricey for me at the time. But wanted to impress…and honestly, it was the only wine I had actually had!

    Little did I know that '94 was a killer vintage in Napa and that I was drinking some of the best Napa Cab I'd ever have! I looked for it a couple years later & was WAY out of my price range!

    qotd: the first time I was given a glass of caymus special selection which was the 1st time I'd had a cab over $20. Got to see how vast in quality cab's and wines could be.

  • adam_riley

    qotd: the best cab (bordeaux blend) i've ever had was a 1985 Chateau du Tertre from Margaux. i drank it last year and is probably the best wine i've ever had. the smell filled the entire room and it probably could have lasted another 10 years.

    Have seen these wines before but not tried..just had a 1996 Altamura which was fantastic, did not expect the great nose and fruit which was still there… http://www.winelx.com
