We are changing the wine world!!
We started with Raventos i Blanc Cava poured over with fresh pureed strawberries and Grand Marnier. Yes we had this with of all things slow cooked baby back ribs!

As of right now we are enjoying Altos De Luzon Jumilla 2004.
Home goods in Woodbridge, NJ is were we purchased it.The glass very close to your glass I`ll see if I can get the picture to post! [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/namaste2uom/100_6396.jpg[/IMG] my DH is drinking out off the glass!
A little hint for heavy red wine drinkers like myself mix a bit of baking soda and peroxide to make a paste; brush with it and you will have a white smile. It`s a little gross but ohhh so worth it.
As for the fruit in liquid you were trying to come up with is
compote is the word you were looking for. You know dried fruit cooked in sugar syrup. It is also often used as a drink, in which case only the liquid is drunk and is usually less sweet.
Hey gary what about : Intellivision or are you too young?
Oh this one counts as 2 lurkers! Wait I`m not a lurkers but my DH is so I`m writing for him as well.

welcome back. I’m just beginning to explore Bordeaux so this was a great episode for me.

When are you going on the BIG screen?

Hi Gary, I’m Les!

I’m looking forward to tasting a few wines with you in the future. You’ve got a great thing going here. I like your style.

The first episode I tuned into was #201 and then you were gone. I’ve already passed on the word about your vincast so I’m glad your back – it helps with the credibility factor.

No wine for me tonight but I’ve got a bottle of 2002 Barnwood Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon beckoning.

Great show today! Glad you are back.

QOTD: Montes Alpha Syrah

Never been much of a bordeaux fan and don’t like to pay the high prices.
QOD: Unfortunatrly, I gave up drinking wine at home for Lent. Only One week to go!

Tonight – a Heineken

Last Night – a cheap ($4.99) bottle of Whole Foods Chardonnay that is shockingly good for that price.

Gary-
I have to confess I have only watched part of the ep so far
but….
It is fabulous!
A bordeaux that I can afford!
WOW!
Didn’t think that was possible!
Thanks
I will comment again when I have seen the whole ep!
🙂

fruit compote? was that what you were looking for the Chat Bellevue Mondotte 2003?

QOTD: ashamed to say Hardy’s Wine Box Shiraz. But a budget is a budget and you gotta have wine, doncha?

I was reading several of these until I came across mention of the Women’s NIT. That’s just not kosher. It was painful enough to see my alma matter get slaughtered by Tennessee in the first round of the women’s tournament.

QOTD: Either a glass of Chatteau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Cabernet at home or Pabst Blue Ribbon on the porch of The Miller High Life Lounge (I’m classy like that).

Who gives up wine for anything?? Must stink.

Let’s help Gary win his bet. Start your own QOTD like this one:

What is you favorite reference made by Gary?

i.e. Today’s reference to “Back to the Future”.

I’d like to know precisely what you mean by “silky”? In my experience the wines that send me seriously over the moon have what I describe as powdery, melt in your mouth (think cocoa powder on chocolate truffles) feel. I’m wondering if your “silky” is a similar word? Usually this “melted powder” feel is associated with what I, as a neophyte oenophile, consider to be mellow or balanced wine with softened tannins. Can you expand?

What about the 03′ Vielle Cure which also scored a 90? Would love a comparison. Good luck on the 350.

QOTD: A cold Yuengling with shrimp on the patio, its 87 degrees in NC!

Great Bordeaux episode!

Not drinking anything tonight because I am working late – but I will be may try a 2003 Haut Gardere later this week!

QOTD: 2001 Aries Merlot, It’s great!

I had an Aries Merlot last week!
This week is Monkey Prize! WOOT!

BTW G-Man when is the trip to Burgundy? I really think there would huge interest as the Pinot crazed public needs further understanding about where it all started. Am I right?

Gar-
OK I’m making more comments
because…..
I finished the ep!
Super descriptions of the wines!!!
Only can afford the first but……
I was still laughing up a storm.
QOD:
2003 Clos du Bois Merlot Sonoma County.
Not crazy about this effort.
Now I know why it was on
sale
and
glad it is just a
small bottle.
