Yes – free shipping

QOTD, DUH, YES, YES, YES! I’d love to buy some 2004 Chateau Le Gay and Casa Emma and not pay for shipping. Yum.

Kahuna, how about a picture of me in Berns with a Vayniac T-shirt eating the steak.

I was intrigued with the Le Gay until you compared it with Justin Timberlake.

Chat Lynch smells like salad in a jockstrap. . . . classic. I won’t be buying it, but classic.

The concept is good, but 😛 on the free shipping or come up with an alternative for us locals. I am tempted with the Le Gay if it just wasn’t for that name!!! I like the fact that there are these old Chats reinventing themselves tho… how does it compare to Lascombe?

Great follow up to yesterday, glad you came through and gave us some control tastings! How many hits did you guys get yesterday, more than #148?

zero!

I vote Yes on the QOTD, only if TampaSteve agrees to stop complaining for at least 2 months! Otherwise he has to retroactively pay for anything he ships. LOL!

My psychic told me today told me that there is a little something Bordeaux special on it’s way with a bit of age and in EVERYBODY’S price range……

BP…did I tell you the weather in FL is lovely at this time of the year…lolol

CQOTD – Uhhhh…. Ab-so-friggin-lutely!!

5+5-5-5= a big fat zero that is way too late…

Gary- I agree with #33 because I think there is at least some Old World in everyone. I understand your concern, however, as it seems there are fruit bombs in every price range. I’ve had the Mollydooker Boxer, Tunnel of Love and Two Left Feet and all our over-the-top bombs and fun to drink.

ComQOTD- Yes

Thanks GV – I hope your “nards” have thawed.

You’ve done “vertical tastings”, but this summer, you must complete the “thermal tasting”…
try the same three wines while standing on an hot-asphalt roof in Phoenix in mid-July.

enjoy London… the fish and chips suck there, by the way.

I love the Community Question of the Day idea, just don’t let TampaCheapskate get in first again!

QOTD: Enough with the free shipping! That’s always the prize. How ’bout something for us locals instead!

Athletic Challenge: Gary — you won’t get a game off me in tennis. (Although you probably can kill me on the b-ball court).

How about a WLTV Softball team? There’s got to be a local league we can get in this summer?

QOTD: Free shipping, yes!

New World vs. Old World – the golden rule applies here: silver & gold.

5+5-5-5= 0

Regarding the 91 rating for Ch Lynch Bages: how can a nose of used jockstrap with salad garner a 91 rating? Perhaps this effort is better off in a blizzard tasting like yesterday.

Enjoy the show!

QOTD: YES indeed – free shipping is good anytime! 🙂

Yes on the free shipping. Though now I have to ship to my parents house 5 hours away…which sucks. I wish we could change the wine world to allow for shipping to Georgia.

Still sad in the ATL.

I think that the other side of Italy making Over Extracted wines and super ultra juicy start to fade slowly…….( I hope so )
Viva les Traditionalists !!!

Hurray !

Community QOTD: Yes on the free shipping. Locals should get no tax?

Does WineLibrary have a “Fruit bomb” label. If I search WineLibrary, will it match. I really like fruit bombs at this point in my wine drinking life and would like to find them easily (guess I’m lazy, too.)

good point Neil (comm. #44)

do you want Ranch or Bleu Cheese with your 91 pt. jockstrap salad?

Don’t need to answer what 5+5-5-5 is because I already have muh shirt, but the ComQOTD sounds great…free shipping ALWAYS sounds great per cpmment #16 from Tampa Steve.

I am saddened by this episode. Having not tasted the WOTY…ever…since I don’t spend 200 dollars to point chase wines, I was hoping that this would be a typical Brunello, exposing the world to an interesting and traditional region, and expanding the minds of the robotic sheep-like American drinking public. I apparently am wrong. How sad that everything that scores well tastes like alcoholic fruit juice. How very sad. I see the change, even in France, every time I go. The wines are loosing their typicity, their “terroir”, their character. But the thing is, its not just the wine. Its the buildings, the restaurants, the food, the people, the popular culture. The world is becoming more and more bland and uninteresting. Why pay 1000 dollars for a plane ticket to experience something different, a different culture, when you get there to discover basically what you left 5000 miles away. Just a horrible thought, but inevitable in my opinion.
