Go JETS go

Thanks for the long awaited Cahors ep. Gary. I hated my first tannat experience though. Seems like these wines need 15+ yrs before the tannins yield to the fruit.

Also thanks for the rec.s today. I can’t wait to surprise my gf with dinner and pop the bottle in Times Square…shhhh.

Nice episode, thanks for bringing another region that is new to me to my forefront.

My poor fish. Here’s hoping to the Jets going far in the playoffs. Gary, I will hold up my end.

QOD- Christmas day with family:
1+1=3 Cava
Mumm Napa
M&C White Star

Got rid of the last high profile sparklers, now, onto more grower’s sparklers, cava, prosecco, etc.

QOD. I was pretty intoxicated all weekend so the details are pretty fuzzy. Went to restaurants on both Christmas Eve and Christmas and to my surprise both meals were comped by the owner or manager. It was a great weekend to be me. Anyhow, since both meals were Italian, we had bottles of Nero d’Avola, Chianti and Silver Oak Cab. OK, the Silver Oak isn’t Italian, and maybe it didn’t even pair well with some of the food, but it’s the restaurant owner’s fave and it was free.

Actually had no wine this weekend, but downed a few Red Stripes.

Chat Lamartine Cahors Cuvee Particuliere 2003 sold out?????
What a bummer???
What gives? – pump it in the vlog and then it’s sold out??

Great episode, nevertheless!

QOTD – Farleigh Zinfadel 2004 from WL of course! And it was quite enjoyable.

05 Inman Pinot Gris – very tasty
04 Badge pinot noir – corked 🙁

Gary-
Awesome ep. Great information. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the week goes.

04 Ken Wright Nysa Vineyard

I would love to know what you and yours opened. Hope all went well and everyone is healthy!

Gary,
I don’t understand weiners with pigs in the blanket? Is this a Belarus dish? I thought ground meat and rice wrapped in cabbage was pigs in the blankets?!?
QOD: 2004 Beringer Alluvium Blanc
Haart Piesporter Gold Spatlese
Drappier Blanc de Blancs

Gary,
Kudos to your Jets… great win. We’ll be watching with interest next weekend….
