Is 265 the amount of days since WineLibrary first aired on February 21, 2006?

QOD: First in the kitchen while I help prepare dinner. Then in front of my computer entering my tasting notes into CellarTracker. After that at the dinner table or sofa with friends and family.

QOD Episode 134 – whenever and wherever possible! 🙂

Oh, and thanks for the wine bag coupon — now I can make my holiday gifts extra special!!

Very nicely done again. I felt kind of relieved when I saw you rate the Caro in that manner, in the sense that that’s what I feel, lately, when I try an argentinian wine. Not in the past, but it’s happened to me several times in a row while trying argentinian wines. Not bad wines, but I can clearly sense the alcohol (heat) in them, and my only educated guess is that they’re meant to be saved for a while, rather than drunk right away. I look forward to trying the Garretson and the Oberto Barbera. Again, nicely done, and thanks for the cupon.

Gary,

If the Caro is indeed of the Lafite-Rothchilds then it shouldn’t state Baron Phillipe or Phillipine. It would like say Baron Eric Rothschild. If it says Baron Phillip or Baroness Phillipine then it’s the Mouton-Rothchilds. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Like Jaye, I drink wine whenever and wherever available and possible. Mostly at home, a fair amount at weekly local tastings, sometimes in restaurants.

QOD: Most of the time, our wine is consumed around the dinner table. Often after dinner, we ened up finishing a bottle in the family room. Certainly, we always have a bottle or two when we go out to eat at a fine dining establishment.

Gary, I have had the luxury of drinking the Garretson wine a couple of times. Im a server in a fine dining establishment in Augusta, GA. And the Garretson piqued my interest because I’m a huge Georgia Bulldog fan and a fan of “new world 3.0” wines. The way I described the wine was an explosion of fruit and it lasts 10 min. after drinking it! I’m glad you felt the same way about the wine and I think I’ll have to pick up another bottle after watching this. And by the way, I usually drink wine while at the computer after work.

I just had the 2002 Sequoia Grove Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon in their tasting room on Saterday and thought it was fantastic. I just rewatched this episode and …87 points?!?!?
I though it was much better than some of the other stuff which I’ve tasted that you’ve given 90+ pts scores. This one really confused me.

QOTD: On the bus and in the park

Just now going back and watching past episodes. Plan on watching them all eventually! Where do I drink wine? Everywhere I can. Favorite is any porch, anywhere, any time!

qotd: mostly in the computer room probably.
Gary, would love to catch you doing a vin jaune episode, or seeing you tackle a charbono tasting one.

Sequoia Grove had good stuff (must of been an off yr), was there a few yrs ago and also visited Garretson which has some interesting blends. QOTD-with dinner, watching TV/DVD, at football tailgates. http://www.winelx.com
