Damn you, Neil for stealing my QOTD answer: “Blue… No yellow… ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Never had a Priorat.

Gary-
Fabulous ep!
Never had a Priorat.
Love the energy!

Purple
and
Carolina Blue
🙂

Awesome show! I got real excited about Priorat last year when I had the ’03 Vall Lliach Embroix, thanks for introducing some more to me.

Thanks for the deal on the T-shirt and congratulations on the 1st of many years to come of WLTV.

QOTD: Yellow

hey GV,

Priorat! Fantastic.Thanks for this episode and Thanks for your honesty at the end. I’ll be after the Mas Doix at $32ish.

Since I usually get these shows in the morning here in Cali, it’s become my breakfast eating watching material. I’m thinking of opening one of the Val lach’s right now and having it tonight with dinner.

QOTD is Blue but can Celia from # comment #65 come and decorate my house.
😉

Another excellent episode trying something different. In this case, I’ve had a Mas Igneus FA 112 Priorat and fell in love with it. Bought a case. Yummy. As for the QOTD, my favorite color would be purple.

I love the smurfs……ever wonder why there was only one girl? How is that possible. Maybe you could do like a smurf sequel and out mama smurf?
GOnna head out and pick some Priorat up….
QOTD – Olive green is my favorite

GV,

The buildup to that last wine is reminiscent to hooking up with that smoking hot chick with a killer body and finding out she stuffed. Iâ??m devastated.

QOTD:
My favorite all time color is and will always be, Yankee Pinstripe.

Iâ??m off to do the work of many.

QOTD: Black

David Canada, see comment 32 above.

Great episode. I love Priorat wine and find the top ones to be well made. Despite the prices of these wine getting a bit on the high end, they are still less than a wine of similar quality from California would be.

QOD: Favorite color is definitely green.

hello!! QOD: has to be wine , yes wine is my favorite.

In down with the blue

Glad you brought out the Priorat. I had my first in Sitges, Spain (30 min, S of Barcelona) and fell in love. Yes, these wines can be pricey, but for the ‘equivalent’ quality in Bordeaux, Burgundy, or even Napa, wouldn’t one pay 2-3X? Anyway, glad to see your enthusiastic response!

QOTD: Always liked purple. Have faith, though, I have not painted any walls in my house a loud violet…. yet.

The third wine seemed enticing, though a little expensive. About the episode, I particularly enjoyed the smurfs jumpin all over the spilled wine – actually got a chuckle from me.

QOTD: Dark cabernet purple.

Green. No relevance to the Jets.

QOTD: Whatever color the wine that I’m drinking is!

I love priorat! I have a few cases of CLOS DE L’OBAC stashed away, recommended by me.

top 100! yessss!

Opened one of the four bottles I got,, not seeing the Chocolate/cocao powder AT ALL. Which is disapponting because I thought I’d impress my wife(hence giving validation to my habit).
I’m getting Grape bubble gum,,, those 2 foot long sticks of the stuff,, on the nose. Tasting it taste like grape cough medicine/grape Jolly Rancher. Not impressed. Will give some to a Spainish teacher I know that would be pleased just to have a Spainish wine. PAZZZZZZZZ.

Sry,,, discribing 2001 Rotllan Torra Reserva on comment 96

Yuw, Gary, have been off for a long time (toooooooo much work, heaps, loads, …). Discovered Priorat a few months ago, never had one before. Very impressed by Sanguenis i Vaque Vall Por: also way too young, but already showing there’s smth to expect.
QOTD: red, man, how could you’ve asked …

Bought the Rottlan last month after Gary’s review. Just opened it tonight. OMG! The chocolate nose is overwhelming. It’s like sniffing a box of assorted creme-filled chocolates. Cherry, rasberry, brandy, amaretto. Complex and very unusual. If I smelled this wine blind I swear I wouldn’t even think it was wine.

I’d be tempted to go higher than Gary’s 89, but the finish is a little wierd. Some cabbage or sauerkraut comes through and I don’t dig that — not Cabernet-like at all, so I disagree with Gary there. But all in all, a stunning wine for the money. Very unusual and worth trying. — Mark B

Boy Gary, you sure have a penchant for the Spanish wines.
