    Have your techies take a look at #162, only loads about a third of the way and thats unacceptable. I can’t go on not knowing how it ends.

    november babies represent!

  • craig

    like the standard cab episode, maybe next time through in the “reserve” of some of the big labels. I actually had a kendall jackson grand reserve napa cab 1996 that was prety darn fantastic, but i can’t stand their regular run of the mill “vitners” or what ever they call the usual stuff.

    As for QOTD – we have a bottle of Spy valley sauv blanc, so it might be that…

  • Well, Bossman, I guess I CARE about top ten cuz I’m IN IT!!! Just feels nice to watch the video so soon after it’s produced, for some reason that goes beyond rational thought.

    Not surprised at all about the Clos Du Bois: there’s so much better out there for the money. Thanks GV for your continued honesty!

    QOTD: Memorial day popper: Four Vines Dusi Ranch Zinfandel … been looking forward to this, and it will only be our (my girl Darcey’s and my) second Zin ever! Good holiday all!

    Thanks again Gary!

    Got tons of Cab/Bordeaux already, so everything here was a pazzz…thanks for the reviews though.

    QOTD: 1997 Silvio Grasso Barolo Ciabot Manzoni, the 2006 Matua Valley Sauvignon Blanc Paretai, and sampling the Rose made from the saignee of this year’s crush (50% Sangiovese, 25% Cab, 25% Syrah from Sierra Foothills).

  • Louisiana George

    need to open a 1994 Mondavi Oakville Cab – gathering with the in-laws, so might do a blind tasting with that and an under $10 cab to see what the verdict is

    8 cents in, 2 to go
