Huge # of comments, maybe the most up to this point. Don't have that many Bordeaux in Cellar (over priced), much more Cali Cabs. Nice to own a wine store… QOTD-tonight (Cab) 3 yrs ago?? http://www.winelx.com

    QOTD . Inspired by yesterday’s episode and had a Sancere – 04 Domaine Reverdy-Ducroux .

    Not a big Bordeaux or Cab drinker but intrigued to try more after today’s episode.

    Top 500? Yes! Informative episode, but had that feeling that I should be taking notes in prep for mid-terms. QOTD? Beer (pairing with sushi).

    QOTD: Vin de Pays Clos du Prieur 2003. This stuff was TERRIBLE after just an hour or two of decanting. It had the most egregious bitter tannins I’ve ever swilled. But after a couple of days in the fridge (w/ Vacuuvin) and a BUNCH more air, this puppy’s really singing.

    Gary – Just checking in to help you win your bet (which I see you have already won). Welcome back. And thanks again for the recommendation on the Penley Estate Cabernet Phoenix 2004 presale. I only wish now that I had gotten 3-4 more cases at the pre-sale price. That wine rocks!

    I’m a little late on my comment, looks like it wasn’t needed to hit the 350 mark anyway.

    Need to still watch the episode hope to get to it today.
