Gary-
Great ep overall!
VERY
Glad to hear more about Bordeaux
and
how your trip went.
Cool story about the winery
and
the blind tasting!
🙂

QOTD: Today I’m drinking the 2005 Pillar Box Red featured in episode 138. It’s pretty tasty stuff.

Welcome back. I’m drinking a 2003 Matrot Meursault.

Love that Bordeaux!

The Bears are getting better by the day my man!
2003 Epicure-cheap good everyday/food wine.

GO BEARS!

Heading for 350….

Welcome back Gary. Sorry I missed you at the store Saturday. But I understand. Going Chateau to Chateau is tough to beat.

QOTD: Nothing. Big business trip tomorrow.

Hi Gary,

I really appreciated helping us find decent Bordeaux for below 20 bucks. I am hungry to find wines like that.

Cheers,
Michael

BUMP!!

Definitely need some more enlightenment about Burgundy GV. Get out the Maps, plot the regions. Tell us the histoire.. THEN taste the wine! From what I’ve read so far, the area is a lot more confusing than the neatly classified Bordeaux.

Kahuna check out the David Bruce TN on the WLTV Forum.
I look forward to the SA Syrah notes!

Glad to have you back!
QOTD 05 Bodegas Casto Pequeno Rueda Chamelin
–psyched that there is so much Bordeaux out there that those of us without expense accounts can find good value, especially 03 to drink now.
–I am all about Spain, the Loire and souithern France! that’s where the value is!

Tonights wine…… 2005 Arnot Roberts Syrah Nice bowl of Italian sausage/spinach/onion and pasta to go with it. It’s been calling for me to open one for a few weeks now so I was going to open it even if we were just having PB&Js for dinner!! Right on GV with the tasting notes!

QOTD: Tonight – I’m drinking The Wolftrap 2005 Red Blend upon Gary’s recommendation. Huge QPR.

Great to have you back, Gary.

Compote…yes! That was the word. (Comment #71)

Nice ep., I enjoyed watching the last wine – 2003 Chat Bellevue Mondotte. Sweet decanter that was used to pour it. Did Gary say that it was fun to pour from that decanter? I wasn’t sure if he did…

Gary-
Not sure if you can order wine
now that it has gotten hot here
in beautiful NC.
Anyway here goes, can I order some now?
🙂

165. Come on folks, we got a long way to go to get to 350.

Wish I had the money and the patience to buy futures. I’d buy a case but I’m afraid I’d drink it when it showed up.

QOTD: I’m drinking Mountain Dew tonight. It’s hard to enjoy wine by yourself, I much prefer sharing a bottle with dear husband Badger Rick. Our last wine we enjoyed was 2004 Sextant Wheelhouse Zinfandel, Paso Robles. Nice!

What am I drinking tonight? You picked a night that we decided to do a budget wine. I picked up, at my local Kroger store, â??Gum Bearâ? Unoaked Chardonnay by the Watson Wine Group from Australia for $5.99. I must say that I really was not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. It had a nice acidity and a lot of fruit. I made a spicy Indian meal tonight, mustard seed chicken, and the wine complimented the meal nicely. I would like to add that I am a bit tired of the Australian wineries, or any winery for that matter, putting cute little animals on their wine.

Going to buy my futures right now. thanks Gary.

QOTD: Orange juice.

Just doing my part to help you win that bet. Tonite i am drinking the Locorosso 04 ($9 WL). Opened it monday, wasnt around Tues, finishing tonite. The wife and I werent overwhelmed, have a few more bottles and hope to revisit in 6 months to see if things come together a bit. The way you talk about 2005 bordeaux, the excitement you bring, makes me think about buying more futures…please dont do that anymore, i have mortgage payments to make.

Another great episode, makes me want to run out and buy some bordeaux when my wife is not looking.
QOTD Water, have to work in the morning and I just can’t spit my wine while watching TV

Going for 35O…halfway there.

QOTD: 2002 Goundrey Offspring Cabernet Sauvignon from Western Australia…nice restrained Cab with great balance, not a fruit bomb.
