  • The most confusing thing about wine – mineral notes like petrol, rubber, stone (and what kind of stone?).

    Great format with high-end wines. I might very well buy one of these sooner or later. Life is short.

  • Lynne

    And the thunder rolls…..
    I’m so excited! I can watch the Viddler eps again!! I don’t know who to thank for this, but I am very grateful. THANK YOU!!!

    What happened to the free T-shirt????? Il ove pickles too! Man, what an episode! That was mindblowing! Any of you guys have had the 2003 Léoville-Barton?? I love the 3 Léovilles and I think that Poyferré and Barton are really good buys for the money (of course, when you can get your hands on them before they reach 150$!) I bought a bottle of 2003 Barton for 60US$ last month in Spain and can’t wait to get feedback from people who might have tried it!

    QOTD: Although I’m starting to familiarize with it, Burgundy has got to be the most confusing area in the world, no?

    Great episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Montrose

    GREAT SHOW! Couldn’t wait to see what you thought about the Leoville Poyferre. When I bought one bottle on futures, it was the most expensive single bottle I had ever paid for ($50). Should have bought more, but i still feel very lucky indeed.

    The most confusing part of wine: anything to do with Italy.

    Good show, A little out of my price range, but good show.

    The most confusing part of wine to me is really Bordeaux. I look forward to learning more about it, so that is exiting, but still confusing.

  • Karl Laczko

    Yo Gary, greetings from the Philippines…the wonders of Hotel Internet and serious Jet Lag means I’m now drooling over serious Chateau Neuf du Pape and pickels, which is not good at 5am in Manila.

    BURGUNDY IS BY FAR THE MOST CONFUSING AND ALSO ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE AREAS TO GET “FAMILIAR WITH”…. Its not like Spain.. Hey I think I will try one of everything and it costs like a Buck Ninety Five for a 90 pointer,,,,,,,,

    QOTD; trying to learn all the designations of French wine always leaves me a bit baffed. I am amazed they get so specific with the geography.
