More of a Cali Cab fan..French Bordeaux is generally too expensive. QOTD-any current girlfriend or a football tailgates with the crew http://www.winelx.com

QOTD: I’m not fussy; sometimes it’s with our dog, Casey.

Speaking of dogs, I felt like one when I jumped in with the #3 comment above. More than one person has posted about how it’s silly to shoot for top 10’s, but I couldn’t help myself just like my Casey going after a thrown ball.

Nice ep, GV. I sadly am a new world wine whore who regrets not buying more Euro wines instead of the voluptuous Aussie shiraz and Cali petites/zins I usually fall for. Went out last week with friends and one of them brought a 1999 Lynch Bages that was wonderful with the food. The moral of the story is the same with your 2001 Ferrier above: well-made Bordeaux beats overpriced Cali cab most of the time and great Bordeaux values can be found in “off” vintages. And if everyone out there wants to reply to this with a “no duh,” I understand.

Qod: My best friend…who just finished med. school, who knows very little about wine, has a passion for life, food, family, and drink…but most of all because there’s a topic out ther that I am more knowledgable about than he! Later we taste perscription drugs…

QOTD: My wife and wine friend Darin. Just last night we opened a Kistler 2004 Vine Hill and a 2001 Silver Oak Napa Cab. WOW, what a night that was! No one else I know would be into poppin bottles like that every once in a while.

Hey GV!
It’s really interesting what you say about developing palates beings drawn to old world style wines…I can see my palate starting to like the dirty veggie flavors…weird…
QotD – My boss and soon to be father in law; Joe. We talk about wines, business, family and life…we talk about spirits, food, events, everything….just an amazing guy. I’m really blessed that he’s not only family, but a friend and the best wine buddy I have.
