# 100???

Kahuna – I think there was a Bubbles at Scores?? Ya know – the one with the big Tannins

Just kidding – Best Sparkler – Damn this is a stumper – I was not a big fan of Dom P the 3 times I have had it. Yeasty which I like, but I think it lacks fruit – CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS!!! I have been tempted to buy a L. R. Cristal sometime for a very special ocasion, but like everything else, I always find about 10 other things to spend my money on. Best in a while is the RENE GEOFFROY Cuvee Reserve. It was not over the top – it just delivered where so many others fell short…

I voted for ya Gary!!!

OK – Tonight – What was a Crappy day here in Iowa – Turned out to be a great night!

Sauteed some onions and mushroom caps and had deer fillets with green beans and baked potatoes. I opened the VERY CONTROVERSIAL Beaulieu Vineyards Dulcet Reserve 2001. (WE-92 / W&S-92 / WIL WONG-88 & WS 68 –

I have 6 bottles I bought 8/2005 – First I drank was 8/10/2006 – Very hot, Alc, Awckward??? I looked back in my notes and I scored a 84.
Second Bottle tonight with the above – Muted nose, Just a little prune after hours, bright red fruit, silky mouth feel – WOW – IS THIS THE SAME WINE 6 months later??? I rated it a 91 this time. I am diggin this!!!! At first I was wondering what guests I was going to pawn this $25 bottle stuff off on, and now I am wondering how long before I pop the next of 6???

GARY – HOW ABOUT DO AN EPISODE OF CONTROVERSIAL SCORED WINES THAT VIEWERS PICK. Like this one that had scores from 68 to 92. I think BV Georges De Latour had one similar to this as well. Viewers could send in their findings and you could taste em, and see who you agree with. I am typically a conservative rater, more along the Tanzer lines, but in this case, I think the wine has developed in the last 5 years and will get better in another 3-5 before signing off.

Brandon – SS Chris – I know each of you are good for at least 1 tasting for Gary of Cotroversial scored wines???

NY times ad? Oh well. There goes the cozy family aura. waaaa.

Happy Birthday Super Star Chris! I hope you enjoy that â??02 Havens Black & Blue (a Napa meritage from Ep. #41).

Brandon M. – please pass the port.

My wife and I went to One If By Land, Two If By Sea Restaurant in New York City to celebrate my brother in laws engagement. Anyway, the best man asked the waiter to bring out their best Champagne. Out came Champagne Chapuy Vintage 2001. We toasted with it. I ended up having several extra glasses of the stuff. It was a great night, but I will never forget Champagne Chapuy.

GREAT EPISODES! GO JETS!!!!! Oh, my wife and I went to the Wine Library two Saturdays ago when Lorraine Bracco hosted. Well, we ran into you, and you made our day! It was great to finally meet our wine celebrity! Great recommendation on the Rocky Creek Zin. Looking forward to seeing the New York Times tomorrow! Keep WLTV Going!!!! Does this entitle me to a 10% discount????????!!!!!!

Once Again, Vintage 2001 Champagne Chapuy. Let me ask again. Does this entitle me to a discount on any wine? Perhaps the half bottles of Chateau Pavie 2000? You know, the ones that were sitting in the wine cellar? Let me know, I would love to take them off your hands. GO JETS!!!!!!!!!!!

What happened to your WSJ affiliation? The NY Times? Democratic RAG bent on dividing the country! Sorry BM, no politics.

Prosecco Pro-sec-co Pro-SEC-co

NY Times –

I am sure this ad will be
SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🙂

Gary-
Keep up the good work!
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
glad to see your energy today!!!!!!!!
🙂

QOD: I’ve got to admit, I usually go with Moet White Star (what can I say, I really like it). I do really like Raventos I Blanc Cava as well.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot: Long time lurker, first time poster.

Do we have 2 people who go by the name of TimF?
I remember someone named TimF posting before?
Anyone know?

Man…even Lizy is getting in on the action today!
I think I counted four Lurkers…one more to go…come on guys, you had better get a post in.

My idea for the NY Times ad is killer…just wait!!!

TimF…good point on the White Star…it is the “classic wedding bubbly” but still remains to be a pretty good drink…not the best…but palatable.

Hello. I am MarcT’s girlfriend. I ALWAYS hear bout Wine Library TV. I will watch with him some but I have never written any comments.
Do I count as a “lurker?”

Make it count Gary!!!
That’s 5 baby!!!

Great episode Gary. I, too, am a big fan of sparkling. Though, I cannot, in all honestly, give you an all time producer of champagne. I’ve a number of excellent sparklers and cuvees, but no champagne, particularly outside the big houses.

I will be sure to check out the NY Times tomorrow and take a picture. Congrats on the Vloggie nomination. You deserve it! I will be sure to submit my vote.

Nice intro Dominus. Happy birthday Chris! Lurkers, please come out of the shadows.

Cheers to all!
