    The 2004 Villacreces Gary’s tasting is actually a 2003 when he holds up the bottle NOT a 2004.

    Allright, I’m monopolising the space here, I know, giving me 6 cents in one episode… Here’s why…

    Did anybody else notice how WS taster on Spain Thomas Matthews always seems to be dissing wines everybody else likes? I mean, the guy has the absolute right to do so, but Gary tasted today a 93+ Ribera del Duero that he says he ingcannot possibly find anyone says it is a bad effort yet, WS rates it…. 84, saying it’s really ordinary!!! Some of my favorite Spanish values are like 91 pts in my book and in Parker’s, and WS thinks there worth 84 points. The guy just doesn’t seem to be on the same planet as everybody else…

    Give me some feedback if you ever notices that too…

    Greetings Mr V!

    Got some interesting looks wearing the dead deer and cherries shirt this weekend…
    Nice cap to the “Greek vacation” series, I guess I’m neutral/”dirty bomb”. I lean towards a mix of young new world and old world with some age on ’em.

    You know, when you said “Moo-ex” I was wondering if that is how he pronounces his last name – and apparently he does. Kudos, Gary. Learned something new.

    How is the ’04 Villacreces? I notice you carry that as well.

    QOTD: Dirty, most of the time, especially for collectibles. I do enjoy the fruit bombs at times, usually backyard or beach BBQs, but given a choice, give me the dirt.
