    My god Gary, you know how to party, “arrested in L.A.” – that’s gotta be a chapter in the book. I take it none of the cops drank wine?

    Greetings Mr V!

    HMmmm…. which should I try….

    As to the question of the day: I’m not sure I really have a guilty pleasure in wines, I’m usually just looking for the best QPR I can find. That being said I find myself happily guilty about 1.) my constant wine acquisitions WAY out of proportion to my yearly income and 2) the giant fruit bombs that seem like liquid desserts – quite unlike my old world loves, they’re like that younger mistress I’d never leave my wife for…

    Hey! how d’ya go about gettin’ on of the wristbands?

    I’ve liked the Zins I’ve had so far and look forward to getting close to the quality of the last 2 you mentioned (probably won’t be able to get them over here though).

    QOTD – Guilty pleasure? 80(+)% Dark Chocolate with an Ille Espresso; accelerating as fast as possible to the speed limit and then holding steady; Greek Yoghurt with Honey, take your pick.

    Gary,

    Nice episode today. I will have to give the Haywood a try, I missed out on the Copain Le Printemps Rose (that sold out fast).

    Guilty Pleasure: Old Amsterdam Gouda Cheese. I can’t stop eating that stuff, it’s amazing I am not a whale by now.

    GV,
    Great episode. I love the way you ranked the wines and talked about their relative values. You should get back to doing that. Zin is a wonderful wine. Will have to try some of these. I agree it is a good summer red!
    QOTD: Guilty pleasures: 2 of them. Johnnie Walker Blue Label Scotch (hence my moniker) and Grand Marnier Centaire Brandy. That stuff really rocks.

    And here I thought Red Zins were out of style. It is good to have an alternative to the Rosenblums and Renwoods.

    Thanks for including cellar times on these wines. I’m just (barely) starting to build up a collection and am curious how long to hold onto something. I realize it is kind of a subjective thing, but a little guidance helps. It is better than the one size fits all inserts in the wine magazines.

  • Guilty pleasure? I feel no guilt in pleasure. We all need less guilt as it relates to enjoying ourselves.

    Excellent zin episode. Zin deserves it. The grape did not originate in the United States, but we’ve made it our own. I have a feeling greater zinfandel history is yet to be written.
