Interesting episode GV, I always seek out unique wines even from different areas. Even though you pazzzzzed on two of the wines i might seek them out just to see what other regions offer. For about $40 bones before shipping i might just buy all 4 just to try em.

QOTD: I want you to taste this:

Can’t wait to watch this when I get home. I love the ability to view the wines separately.

Gotta love technology!

NJ terroir??? hahaha! Does that wine come from Exit 15 of the Turnpike? mmmm yum.

Gary, I don’t want you to officially “review” this wine. I just want to laugh if you can’t pick it out blind.

QOTD: 22937 (Shiraz/Cabernet)

As bad as the NJ wine may have been, it’s still better than the alcoholic grape juice that’s made in the Sunshine State.

new format is working great. no hiccups today at all. Loved the option where you can immediately FF to the different wines or the QOTD.

I liked the Anything but CA chardonnay from USA theme. It was almost as interesting as a Finger Lakes riesling episode.

I have to echo this one as long as we’re on the unusual area/verietal kick.

http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=29616

the Folly would be nice to hear about too. I have the 03 and haven’t opened yet. How do they compare.

Did you learn all the new tricks in London? very nice.
