    I saw Tony Snow go into Andres’ hair salon on K street the other day and HES GOT CANCER! Have you been having a toss with Ms. Cheese Wiz before the show? She must be psychic to know that all I was thinking about was seeing her topless.
    Episode #247 Gary awakes and raises his head from a Tony Montana sized mountain of snow to taste wines that he enthusiastically either really loves or really hates. Then he machine guns the camera crew.
    Ok… I’m old(er), bald(ing) and jealous.

    Falling a bit behind on my WLTV so it’s catch-up time (okay, ketchup time for Gary as he loves those “vegetal flavors”).

    I’m a Syrah freak/fan so I’ll be looking into the purchase links for the Les Verrieres in particular.

    Question about Rainbow Bright? I seem to have one of those minds that remember annoying TV commercials so the first thing that came to mind was the snippets of songs played on the commercial which sold the Rainbow Bright music collection:

    “When you work to the rhythm of prisamatism it isn’t like working at all… a steady beat to tap your feet, it’s inspirational…” “sunbeam, sparkle and shine, you’ll always be a friend of mine…”

    Not even a karaoke-worthy skill, but that’s what I remembered.

    Someone else also remembered those rainbow stripe, multicolor leg warmers and sweaters (even Mork had the rainbow suspenders); that screams Rainbow Bright – but which came first the clothes or the toys?

    Thanks for the great episode!

    Gary. Because of your high praise of the Les Verrieres De Montagnac, I bought a few bottles. It is truly, “that wine”. I can’t wait to drink the next bottle. And I’m no longer a lurker.

    QOTD: oh I had those rainbow brites! They made a mess in my basement.

    Love that you tasted an under the radar region and found some great values. This is why I watch this show!

    Gary,

    An Old World guy, I nevertheless love the Constance as an everyday wine. You’re right, the oak is there, but well integrated. I love the fruit up front and think the finish is terrific. You’d pay $45 at least for any California wine this good.

    Loved the hair Gary.

    How about trying a vin jaune on the show one time?

    I just bought a case of this and am very excited about it; in fact, I think I'll go back and see if I can get another since it was $11.50/bottle. What is the best way to store this to help insure it will still be wonderful 10 years from now?

  • Lee

    Sorry, forgot to specify that I am referencing the 2004 Les Verrieres Coteaux Du Languedoc.
