QOTD – I had a 98 John Riddoch Wynn’s cab….a real coonawara Cab with Mint etc.
Good show…love the ones on emerginf regions.

Yo! Sittin’ here catching up on the episodes I missed while away… I had an ’84 Trefethen Cab this weekend. Holly crap……. I brought it to my parents thinking my father would like to give it a try (he loves California Cab). He hated it. I on the other hand thought it was the bomb digity fo shizle. It was drinking like it was 10 years old, and I liked it.. ALOT… Probably putting the rest away for at least 5 more years. Yeah boy…. CB

QOD: For Christmas Eve, my wife and I drank a bottle of the 1997 Massolino Parafada Barolo with the Veal Marsala and fettuccine that I made. On Christmas Day, we had several bottles of 1999 Chateau Pomies-Agassac and a 1990 Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon with the prime rib roast.

Another excellent episode, Gary. You found a wine that I have never tried before. That will change soon. Thanks!

Cheers!

Waiting on the West Coast

Que esta pasando aqui? Estaba esperando que lo seria listo. Ojala que tendramos algo para mirar.

Great episode, Gary! Living vicariously through the Jets right now – my Giants….well, let’s not talk about that.

For our Christmas party, we had:

Adler Fels Pinot Noir
Milton Park Shiraz
Conte Priola Pinot Grigio
Washington Hills Late Harvest Riesling

So any word on today’s episode?????

Whats goin on guys? I must have WLTV

Couldn’t watch the show until tonight. GREAT little video of the Vayniac dinner. Great education from this episode; I enjoyed it to the fullest, as usual. We did watch the game. In my opinion, kind of dull the first half, but a most exciting ending. QOD: 1) Pol Clément Brut, blanc de blancs, n/v. 2) Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve, Cabernet Sauvignon, 1999. 3) Grahams Six Grapes, Port, n/v. Gary, THANKS! (for all).

Hi, guys. No WLTV tonight?

This is scary. Remember when it was like one or two episodes a week, now we’re all addicted; we need a hit…Baaaaaaaaad. Gary would’ve let us know right.? I hope everything is okay. :l

This is Sarah. Anthony is huddled in the corner in the fetal position shaking. He’s mumbling somethign inaudible…I think he’s going through withdrawl…HELP!

Me too, Gary??????? I need you !

Gary, is everything ok? we miss you!

You guys crack me up….

I am having sweating attacks…hallucinations…chills….I am going through WLTV withdrawl.

Lt me by preface by saying my family is not a big wine family. They have some things in their wet bar, but they were not all that impressive….(Yellowtail) I had to bite my lip pretty hard. They did have a bottle of ’97 Alexander Valley Merlot that was badly corked, well, thats what I thought… the cork was tainted the first pour smelled of raisins then I decanted it and tried to salvage what could have been a nice bottle…it was OK. Heavy on Pepper taste, lots of sediment… I stopped drinking it. I opened another bottle..a 1999 BV Coastal….corked..and bad. Then I had some Jacob’s Creek another day… oh who am I kidding, I’m drinking it right now. I was attracted by the new Wine Spec report and whatever…. they are out of the Reserve but have the 6 dollar bottle, and so I get it and a Louis M. Martini Cab and a Bing Cherries and a some sushi and for some reason crescent rolls and little smokies and Brie…oh yeah b/c Vaynerchuk recommended pigs in a blanket!. Anyway… my check cark is at home or some reason, and I end up putting back the bing cherries, the Louis Martini, the sushi, and get things under 50. So I’m eating little smokies with cheap brie and Jacob’s Creek Shiraz fruit Bomb that’s not all that great, but not terrible, but what do I know… I just am glad that I had SOME cash and armed with the knowledge that, in a pinch, you can afford pigs in a blanket. Thanks Gary, I’ll stop lurking. Here it is my coming out. A long-ass rant! Happy almost New Year. It’s Krug this year!

Great show, Gary! QOTD Answer: A little Gabbiano Chianti, a little Luna di Luna Pinot/Chard. It wasn’t anything new that I hadn’t had before, so maybe I should work on that.

So I guess I should get the hint right? No WLTV today. Hard to let go…so hard. G’night all. See you tomorrow Gary (fingers crossed)…Hope all’s well.
