Since you suggested it yourself, why not follow up this episode with a tasting of wines which better suit the colder climates of this area.

Pignolo? Prieto Picudo? Lirac? Three comments in a single thread? It’s a brighter day already.

QOTD: Wolffer Cabernet Franc 2003
| Vintage: 2003 | Library Code: 5738

It’s pronounced “Su..” as in suck, like what the the Jets do on Sundays; “Con”, Like the majority of the Jets players, cons; and “It”. like it. Su.. con… it. Emphasis on the middle syllable. And no, I’m not trying to be fresh and make a Micheal Hunt joke. It’s a New England thing.

Couldn’t watch yesterday but nice to have a Canadian wine on. Having said that, you really have got to get some riesling and not from the large producers like Cave spring (pronounced like a hole in the earth by the way). If I get a chance when I am down in the states I am going to send you a bottle or two of some small wineries up here in Niagara for you to taste on the show. Where should I send them?

Taste Doug Nalle’s Zin !!!

QOTD- Justin Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 Library Code: 7992 I love this winery and have heard good things about this new vintage.

I am bummed to hear about the basketball team. I said I wanted in. What’s the deal?

Interesting episode. These are all pretty obscure regions. Iâ??ve had wine from Michigan, Ohio, and Canada but Iâ??ve never had any of these. Sometimes I wonder why people try to make wine in some of the regions that they do.

QOD: Iâ??m a little late in getting this in but taste the Chateau Monbousquet 2002 on Friday if it has come in yet. Link -> http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=29800
If that wine has not come in, how about the 2004 Altos de Luzon -> http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=8249

Gary

How about a Petit Sirah?

Are there any Jersey wines that are GOOD?

One more suggestion on the new format….I would love a drop down menu that would allow me to “jump to” a certain episode #
(or can I already do that somehow beside clicking the dreaded “previous entry” button?)

This has to do with a wine you tasted a while back the
2003 Di Majo Norante Contado Aglianico you gave it a great rating your first 90 minus.
We opened one bottle and we didn`t like it. Wondering if we should open an other and see if it was just the bottle?
We still have 1/2 the bottle may me vinegar now!

Oh I still dare you to try a mead!
No I haven`t yet. You do it and I`ll do it at the same time.

QOTD: I would like you to try Botalcura Carmenere Reserve 2003 (http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=6374). I love this stuff!

Gary, gary, gary… You gotta post a good photo of yourself for the vlog voting! Man that photo is scary! And you’re still in 2nd place! You’re a shoe in for 1st if you go get a glamour shot..

I’m just ribbin ya a little… 😉

QOTD: For a blind test… You don’t get to know what the wines are! Have someone from your office who’s familiar with your tastes go out and pick 4 or 5 bottles….

Qotd….Mirassou Napa Pinot Noir Library Code: 4985

I would like you to taste Library Code: 9473. Thanks.

I’m watching this Thursday episode late (Friday afternoon.)

Cool play buttons for the segments of the show. An awesome addition that makes getting “tasting notes” easier. Thanks!!!

QOTD: It’s too late, but I’d like to see you taste the Barone Cornacchia Montepulciano D’abruzzo 2002 ( http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=27847 )
