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

    300, that’s nuthin! 450+. And some of you early posters were worried, calling out for more posts. You underestimate the Vayniacs!

    QOTD No wine last night since I was at work. Now I’m unwinding with a cheap glass of Merlot before hitting the sack. Gonna have a Costa del Sol as soon as I get a night off.

    Nice ep, Gary. Pictures, we want pictures!

  • Looks like I’m a little late to the party. Nice episode. I can’t wait to see that Bordeaux montage.

    Kim and I drunk some 2005 Stormhoek Pinotage (http://www.winelog.net/wines/wine/26500) last night. I thought it was a really good wine. And you can’t beat the $10-$15 price range, although it’s hard to find Stormhoek wines in “the States”. This was the first I’d seen, and just snatched it up.

    Welcome back.

    QOTD: Opened the Concannon Petite Sirah last night with a pork chop and some polenta…will have the leftovers of that bottle with some lamb sausage tonite. That wine really rollercoastered (in a good way) over the evening. It was best after 2 hrs of being in a glass. I bet its gonna be all cassis flavors at this point and not as exciting.

    Late, but probably not last. Good episode Gary. Thanks for, once again, sharing “wish list” wines with us. I lean much more toward New World wine, so I think it would do me some good to really explore some mid-range to straight old world wines to appreciate the breadth of the flavor profiles available.

    QOTD: Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco (Library Code: 65860) I made curry chicken with chickpeas and potatoes. It was a great match.

    How can you not love an episode about Bordeaux? Glad to see the comments pouring in.

    QOTD: Not sure what I will be drinking this evening. It will be a gametime decision.

    BTW GV, I don’t think your Jets have a prayer in the Thanksgiving game. I see Demarcus Ware putting a hurting on Pennington and at least two Romo to TO Td’s.

    QOTD-I had a couple of backfin ales to take the edge off the unseasonal heat but then broke down and popped a bottle of Clos du Bourg I beleive it is a Fronsac. Strange, it doesn’t really say. It drinks much better than it’s price and tastes like Provencale Bordeaux blend. I may have to open one of my ’03 Bernadotte’s tonight. I beleive some portion of the vinyard is actually in Pauillac or at least adjacent to ch. Latour. Nes pas?

  • Will add my $0.02. Whah? What was the sudden mind meld into the Thanksgiving Cowboys Jets game that is 8 months away about? Enjoyer the review of Bordeaux so far. I have Brane-Cantenac back to 1986 cellared and did buy the 1996 but 2001 was my last cellar date for Bordeaux because of the time frame to drink them. I’m still pulling 1982 on the ones I still have and am just starting to try 1994 and 1996. $185 is never a value wine unless you were actually planning to buy it when it reached $400 in two years then I guess it would be a value.
    Right now beginning to drink spring whites, Chenin from Loire and some Viognier from US and France. I noticed a question about wines for summer. My favorites are the Tavel Roses from France. Always a good sipper. Chenins too.
