QOTD–Never had a Brunello nor a Mourvedre 🙁 Hope to try both soon!

QOTD: There are actually a few that I’ve never tried. I’ve never had a really good French wine, nor have I had anything from Spain.
Glad I’m not the only one who heard him say breast.

Never tried a muscadet, will have to.

i love muscadet – it’s extremely fresh

Never tried SuperTuscan yet – it’s too expensive

Top 30. Very lame.

I always try to have a bottle of Muscadet on hand — great to quaff, also great to cook with.

QOTD: I’ve yet to taste a Chardonnay, whether from Burgundy or the New World, that’s made me want to buy a second bottle.

qotd: Muscadet – and it sounds like something my wife would especially like, will have to pick some up!

Muscadet wines I need to try them.

QOTD: Never had a Muscadet or a Groovy…..

Gary:

Sure do appreciate you not leaving us in the lurch while you go on vacation.

Comment: Couldn’t you have changed shirts and PRETENDED it was a different day? (You need a continuity person)

Suggestion: While no one has the Vaynerchuk palate, run a contest to guest host an episode or two while you are gone next time…could be fun???

From the repeated request dept: COSTCO

85 = 5 * 17

That’s odd, I love me some Pepiere but it’s never struck me as overly vegetal, more lemony and salty and like having a little bit of the sea in a bottle, which is always nice. The Clos des Briords is even better, and I don’t it being much over 12 bucks … if you can find it, that is.

QOD: let’s go with Barolo, Sancerre (!), and Priorat–all of which are sleeping in the house somewhere, methinks.

That’s so funny…I opened a a Muscadet last night to have with Pesto Pasta. A 2005 Domaine de Quilla. I twas pretty tart lemon by itself but with the food it really sang. GV we are really in synch 😉
QOTD: Grand Cru (?) Bordeaux-tooo expensive.

QOTD: I have never had Pinotage. Not sure I will like it, but them again, so far I like them all except for Muscadine, it just doesn’t agree with me or I with it.

Should trueness matter in wine? In vino veritas. Of course. Thanks for bringing the true.

QOTD: Well, it is not a region, but I have never tried Kosher wine.

QOTD: Never had Muscadet but sound good. I don’t recall ever having Japanese Sake or if I did I had way too much.

Quite a relevant ep, GV! I’m also in the 10% of the Muscadet drinkers… One one the best I’ve had was the Chasseloir that you tried, except their top cuvée, Cuvée des Ceps Centenaires… Very good stuff to seek out! Another great bottle of the stuff is Loiret Frères Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur lie Les Clissages d’or 2005 which, at 4 euros, is a steal… Then again, like Gary said, nothing to spend hundreds of $ on, but still something everybody should have once in a while…

Any of you have ever had an aged Muscadet??? Read an article last month about how these wines could age for 20 age and be awesome even then!! I’d be interested in getting your feedback on this…

QOTD: I’m still new to the wine world, so there’s a lot I haven’t tried yet.. That being said, I have a bunch of friends who are over the place as far as tastes and I’m getting to try a lot more.

Never tried a true Muscadet but will in the future.. G you are the man!!!!!! Thanks you for the info.

QOTD— I really want to experience A TRUE Super Tuscan wine that brings like you say The Thunder….

Haven’t had a Barolo due to the price. Having a hard time finding a red I like lately. Finding whites to be the values lately. Help me!!!

I’m with ya on the quaffability (if that’s a word) of Muscadets. I’m going to serve it in a bucket with stone goblets next time.

QOTD: Jura & Sovoie

QOTD – I have never had a Burgundy Pinot Noir.

Excellent episode! I had my first Muscadet 2 weekends ago with some Oysters! Very simple, yet enjoyable.

QOTD:
I’ve never had a Pinotage. From the descriptions, I’m not sure I’d like it much, but I suppose I should try one someday. My experience, as is the case with many here, is very limited on 1st growth bordeaux and burgundy.

I would love to have the opportunity to taste these 1st growth wines, especially the ones that consistently score 96 and up, just to calibrate my palate with expectations. Wish I could find a tasting event in my area pouring these. Even if the price of admission was pretty high I think I’d go just to get my palate educated. But at $300 and up per bottle I can’t afford to just jump in!

Budget keeps me drinking wines (always under $100 a bottle and most often in the avg $25 ballpark. To my mind, every time I order a case I try to keep it in the $250-ish ballpark. That means when I order the $50 bottle I try to order a couple $10-12 bottles to get the average down.
