Cool show! Can you try the Norton Ridge Cab. you tried the ’03 last year on WLTV and we enjoyed the few bottles that we drank. I always like to compare vintages and was wondering what you thought of the ’04

Great episode, as usual…
I agree with a comment earlier, let’s taste a Malbec, like the Altos Las Hormigas Malbec 2006 code 9444. Looks like a new arrival and it’s only 8 bones!

Dude, we’re coming up to summer, how about a great Sancerre? You love Sancerre. http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=30756

I love really tart red fruits, so I’d have to say that cranberry or pomegranite is my favorite wine flavor.

Two wineries that I really enjoy are Delectus in Napa and Jaffurs in Santa Barbara. I know the Delectus people ( gerheardt) and would really enjoy a Delectus tasting. Jaffurs Petite is awesome and would be great along with some of the single vineyard Syrahs.

You have both producers in stock.

QOTD…Bordeaux)))— Lead pencil/ Graphite with cassis…It’s alllll about terroir.

i really love finding chocolate and black berry
and in whites i like grape fruit, and ive gotten mango from some albarinos thats real nice

Great ep you were on was on fire today , holding hands with the OAK MONSTER and everything .QOTD Coffee And Mocha even better when you get them together !!

Gary, I think the candy you were trying to describe with the ZD was “Bottle Caps”. Loved those things.

QoD: You ever bite off the ends of licorce and then suck juice through it? I go for black licorce sucking the juice of ranier cherries rolled in black pepper.

I like you adding a champagne into mix once in awhile – http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=40870

Flavor? Cherry. Definitely cherry. Wild, bing, sour, dark, light I don’t care. Bring on the cherry.
Kudos to Fiddlehead Kathy Joseph who had the nerve to serve tasmainian cherries and gummy cheese with her fab pinots last weekend. Wine and life is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm…our friend the oak monster? I think i’ll stick with alsace and the loire for my whites.

QOTD: Cherry cola, sour cherry, black cherry, but especially chocolate covered cherries rolled in dirt.

QOD: In red wines, my favorite flavor, by far, is blueberry or boysenberry pie w/ sour cherry………in whites, I really like butterscotch & starfruit……..but I can’t leave out one that I find to be really odd, but that I absolutely love, cinnamon in rieslings.

I’d love to see the below wine reviewed, and I’m not even a big Pinot fan, but the flavors and aromas sound out of this world!!!!

Panther Creek Shea Vineyard Pinot: https://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=31016

This one would be nice, too

Viking Vouvray Tendre Cuvee Aurelie: https://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=30767

QOTD: Whatever the flavors in the 2004 El Nido Clio are. That is just wonderful to smell and drink.
I have to also agree with Jester above, the honey tones in certain whites, such as 2002 Viking Vouvray Tendre Cuvee Aurelie, and any of the Mer Soliel Chardonney vintages are wonderful tasting wines.

31514….k vintners cougar hills syrah

qod: cotton candy….rare but really cool when it hits ya…
and chocolate, bittersweet…

Learning to like Cali Chards for great bargain price.

QOTD- Red bing cherries- fresh and big

maybe the keller was an off-bottle??

Gary-
Please try the 2005 Vinum Africa Chenin Blanc!
This South African White is a real treat!!!!!!!!
🙂
