Great!. I’ve been looking forward to a spanish wwine episode. Great job Gary. Now I can venture out with a bit more knowledge.

I think you said Rioja 4 different ways in the first 5 minutes- Must be nervous with the extra camera and hot blonde watching

Always learning something new.. thanks, GV!

Who dat? Who dat? WHO IS THAT?

The real question is “Who was that really cute blond in the video when it panned out????”

GV, if that was your wife/family member, it was nothing more than a compliment…….. :o)

Rioja rocks by the way!!!!

Awesome episode!! Of course I am biased since I asked for a Rioja episode. Talk about fast response.

QOTD…I can’t remember

Great episode. Nice to see a strong finish with a bummer start. Can’t wait to try that Lopez.

Great episode, a little interest was peaked there in the beginning!!! :O Missed ya Friday.

Good episode. Down to 199 days? to go? Jets opener? Perhaps first born?

Camel Manure!!? WTF?!

check it out, google earth: 15°17’40.32″ N 20°28’47.42″ E

other than that great episode GV. excellent info on the lopez, that’s the great thing about this venue. not sure i’d pick it up, but with the hassle/expense of finding a 30 year old bordeaux, a great alternative!

Best Spanish wine I’ve had is Mas Doix ’01. Next wine is 2004 Alonso del Yerro Ribera del Duero.

Still sad in the ATL.

Gary,

Great work on the video blog… Keep the updates coming. It’s not too surprising that the 2002 Marques De Riscal Rioja Reserva is a poor wine considering, as you said, the 2002 vintage is something to avoid in Riojas. Perhaps your spanish wine buyer should be made aware of that (hint hint) and not carry that year.

The 2001 Marques De Riscal Rioja Reserva is a FANTASTIC wine!

I would love to see you try it, or at least carry the ’01 instead of the dreaded ’02. Probably my favorite Rioja I have found priced under $20. I know the stores around my area still are carrying a decent amount of the ’01 and I would really recommend you ditch those ’02s in favor of the ’01. Keep up the good work.

Gary –
QOD:
First/Best Spanish Wine I had was 2004 Juan Gil Mouvedre
(hint – still drinking it!).
Great ep!
I will try more spanish wines soon!
🙂

Boyd,
See if you can get a WL local to pick up your wine at WL in a ship ready box. If you have an account with UPS you can email the airbill. Then they can drop off at work or UPS store or something. Of course you’d need to be ‘friendly’ with them first. FYI A wine store, NOT THE WINE LIBRARY, that I use, allows me to send UPS airbill stickers in the mail to them without that wine shop on the ‘From’ part of the label (I use the local UPS store as the from address) and they slap it on my box and it gets picked up by UPS with the other packages. GA can bite me.

QOTD: I have not had a Spanish wine yet. However, my first will be a 2001 Luna Beberide Tierras De Luna that I bought from WineLibrary. I’ll let you know!

Thanks for opening with the shot of the beautiful lady. In fairness, you should have had a handsome man in the room too (you and Eric don’t fit the bill!)

I am afraid of that Jersey garbage….

I’m also embarrassed to say I’ve never had a Spanish wine. Great episode, Gary!
