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

    Going for 1,000 comments? Great show on Bordeaux; I can’t wait until you open up the 2004/ 2005’s! What am I drinking tonight? A 2001 Artadi Vinas de Gain Rioja; it’s drinking well and it’s a great value. Just like Wine Library TV!

    dirty sweaty socks. fungus, cellar floor. mustiness. Bordeaux.

    I am glad the world is chasing these attributes as I am finding the wines I love easier than ever. (hint; not Bordeaux).

    The Pavie family are so against the Bordeaux grain. The guy has California and American consumers on his mind.

    Good episode.

    QOTD: I drank (cause I checked out this vid the 29th) a 2003 chateau lascombes. It was surprisingly smooth and delicious for being so young. Enjoyed the heck out of it!

    “smells like dirty socks and laundry that has not been cleaned for 3 months???” No wonder why Henri Lurton will not sell you any ’96 or ’85 Brane Cantenac….!

    QOTD- Last night I drank Braut & Sistra Cab Sonoma 2002.

    I am still in the first yers of drinking wine but am turned off just by the description of those Bordeaux wines. I tried the Chateau Cantelys that you raved about and thought it smelled like garbage and dirty feet. Maybe that was what they were going for but I thought it was gross. This might be a region that I need to stay away from which might be better for my wallet in the long run. Any that you could suggest that are a good blend between California and Bordeaux?
