QOTD: I seem to be attracted to the more of the “game” & “barnyard” flavors in some syrah. I know it sounds weird but my pallet is changing 🙂

QOTD: It’s a tie between green pepper and strawberry

Iâ??m finally leaving my longer comments about yesterdayâ??s show. I watched it late because it would not load and I had to download the entire episode. It is interesting that you mention Chardonnay as a â??warm weatherâ? wine because Chardonnay is one of the few whites that I consider to be good for cooler weather. I think that this is due to the oak & butter factor and I guess the exception would be a Chard that is either un- or lightly-oaked. With all of that being said, I am not a huge fan of the â??butter bombsâ? unless I am having a very rich Vichyssoise or I am in Maine eating fresh lobster â?? something you wouldnâ??t know about because of your cholesterol issues. ; – ) Very well done episode!!

QOTD #1: I did answer already but again, for reds I love black pepper & black licorice and I enjoy lemon zest in my whites.

QOTD #2: How about Altos De Luzon Jumilla 2004, http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=8249

Hey Gary-
Sorry that i’m a bit late in my comment, but I went to the Ducks v. Canucks hockey game last night … I’ve found the same problem with new CA Chards., but I believe that the CA Chard. market, althought solidifiying itself as a butter/oak beast, is starting to venture off a bit and trying new things…kind of like David Ortiz’s lead off first…he’s off the bag, but not too far away and definitely won’t steal/leave the bag. (bad analogy, but you get what I’m talking about and I just got my first cup of coffee) I’m just kind of hopeful that a couple ‘semi-big name’ wineries will start to make Old World style Chards.

QotD – In red wines I really enjoy Strawberry Red Licorice (you know the soft kind…not that twizzlers stuff)
In white wines I really enjoy Kiwi flavors.

By the way, it’s probably too late, but here are some suggestions.

Franz Hirtzberger Rotes Tor Gruner Veltiner Smagard 2005 – http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=9131

QOTD: Barnyard.

GV saw you had this one…..this would be a good one as well…i have heard a lot about this

QOTD red roses and black asphalt…..ahhhhhhhh!

Pontet Canet…Heard a lot of hype about the great wines that are coming out of there….the 2002 got a 92…..

QOTD: I Recently purchased a Chateau La Thys from WL. Had this trememndous, silky, smooth, chocolate finish. I could have believed I had just finished eating a very expensive chocolate bar. That is my favorite flavor, when it is coupled with fruit in the mid palate.

Hey GV,

Here’s my pick for one of the wines today, if it’s not too late…

Juslyn Vineyard Select Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 – Library Code: 29689

Peace

QOTD: I’m a barnyard kinda guy.

Hey Gary! I just discovered the site, love it to death and am a first-time poster. Thanks for this service. I would love to see a show like this that did sort of the same thing for very common wines. I know a lot of us live in rural areas where the closest thing we have to a wine store is two rows in Harris Teeter. It might not work, though, because all the wines probably taste about the same. Oh well …

I love the cru beaujolais, and would love to see you taste one. I can only get my hands on the Deboeuf stuff, but a nice Morgon or Moulin a Vent would rock so hard.

Keep up the good work!

QOTD: I’ve only been drinking wine for a few months, so I’m just starting to taste differences, and still having a hard time picking out individual fruits, but “light” berry seems to be a preference … strawberry and such.

QOTD: anything spicy

QOTD: Toothpaste

Doesn’t seem like I miss that much with no Cali Chards over here.
Try a Ripasso for the show, or at last a Sagrantino di Montefalco of Arnaldo Caprai (never had that on WLTV).
QOTD: I love the smell and taste of wet moss in wine. Some Barolos, Burgundies, Nero di Troias, Sankt Laurents have it. Great.

Thanks Gary. Keep the white wines coming.

QOTD: Favorite means picking just one. Gosh…ummm…blackberries. Followed closely by raspberries, dark chocolate in reds; and grapefruit and fresh cut grass in whites.

Too late for today’s show, but try Layer Cake!

QOTD: Cherry, but tannins have to be there!

(Only 2 more days till the draft!)
