Let me echo the comments of OttawaB comment 119….you should have at least tried the Cave Springs Riesling Dry or the Riesling Off-Dry. As you said in the ep, Riesling is a much better varietal for this area….

Oh well, there’s always another episode…

Hey, Gary, great episode! QOD: Try a Paulliac. Would be interesting…

Marietta Old Vine Red Lot 41; # 29730

Four Emu Shiraz (Australia) 2004

Dang it, it’s so hard to pick just one! Here’s my first choice:

-Tenuta I Muracci Fortediga Igt Marrema 2005 (WL code 30742)

…and here’s my second: Domaine Grand Nicolet Rasteau 2004 (WL code 30766) 😛

QOTD: Maybe a Dolcetto would be something for a change.

Black Chook Sparkling Shiraz

I’ve never tasted it. What is this stuff? It seems to be popping up more and more.

Did I say Lirac? Cause I really wanted Lirac!!!!!

I love The new format. I can’t say how many times I wanted to revisit just one wine and had to wait for the whole video to load. Looks like the trip to London is paying out!
QOTD: how about a Mouvedre episode for an unusual grape?
These are two examples I have enjoyed lately and I would like your take on them.

And also add the recently released 2004 Hecula from Yecla.

Thanks for the show!

Digging the new format Gar!

QOTD: 2005 Freja Pinot Noir Oregon… So under priced!

Oh NO you did NOT just dis RI as being full of “dirty, dirty, dirty” Pats fans! I’m PROUD to rep both Little Rhodie and Boston in the comments!
And are you surprized that the RI wine blew the oh-so-dirty Jers wine out of the water? I’m not!
Oh- and Sakonnet is “Suh-kon-net” – a Native American name, not French.
Thank you SO much for tasting some affordable East Coast wines- I’ll have to seek out the Sawtooth and the Sakonett.
GREAT EP AS USUAL! (…but the dirty Jers can only make dirty vino)

hey Gary, how about this:

Gary,

Thanks for including an unoaked chardonay today.

QOTD: 2003 Chat De Pez Bordeaux WL#6445

If you choose mine… I’ll place it on my next order reguardless of your critique!

QOTD: Since you don’t carry Morgan wines (you need to try their Pinots; Twelve Clones Pinot Noir is the best wine I’ve had under $30… and I bought it for about $17!), my wife DEMANDED that I make you taste this: http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=27894 Parker Station Chardonnay (2003). I drank a whole bottle of it trying to peg the taste on the finish and I couldn’t do it and it’s bugged the CRAP out of me since then.

P L E A S E put me out of my misery; taste the wine and tell me what that is on the finish!!

QOTD: M. Chapoutier Cote du Rhone Belleruche Rouge 2005 (#4710)
(or) Trimbach Gewertztraminer 2004 (29131)
(or) Trimbach Pinot Blanc (39080)
…I’ll try to think of some more that I can afford…

Great episodes lately, Gary!
QOTD: Helmut Gangl Zweigelt 2003
Type: Austrian Zweigelt
Size: 750ML | Vintage: 2003 | Library Code: 1812 |
I’d like to see what you think about it in a blind tasting!

Gary, The hair doo was looking a bit flat today somewhat like the Chardies, why donâ??t you try the Sting look of old? Keep up the good work.

Ditto the Ch. De Pez WL#6445 from post 139. Perhaps a comparison with ch. Meyney ’03 WL#27705. Same year same price same appelation. Probably infanticide to open them but it would be nice to see how these wines from a hot dry vintage are coming along. Are they headed to ’90 vintage status or are the elevated tannins destined to delineate the wine? Toby needs to know.

QOTD: How ’bout these Italian wines?

Library Code: 5052
Aminea Greco di Tufo 2004 http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=5052

or Library Code: 9732
Travalgini Gattinara 2001 http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=9732

Both are a little of the beaten path, decent scores, and under 20 bones.

Great show. Liking the new format!

How about Magnificent Wine Company House Wine red?
