QOTD: I’m a Dirty Bomb.

QOTD: I’m a Dirty Bomb.

I’m a dirty-bombing viticultural terrorist.

qotd: BOMB! Mom will tell you, I never did eat my veggies!

The NSA’s alarms are going off with all this talk of Dirty Bombs! Nonetheless, toss me in the heap with all the Dirty Bombers.

QOTD: 15 years ago Bomb. 10 years ago Dirty. Today balance. In general my sweet tooth has dropped way off. Intrigued by complexity. Too much either way gets in the way of the food I’m eating, however some fruit bombs go very well with dirty dark 70-80% cocoa chocolate.

QOTD: Good is good 😉 so…dirtybomb it is =)

Gary,

QOTD: Iz a Dirty Bomb like U. 🙂

When I first discovered the latest craze in Australian Shiraz (the 1996-1997 vintages), I fell in love with them. Didn’t then, nor now, have a clue how long they will age, but was enthralled with the massive fruit. I had become at least a partial “Bomb,” having been a “Dirty Bomb” for 20 years prior. After buying way too many of these fruit bombs (about four vintages of them), I came to my senses. Although these wines by themselves are fun to drink, they simply don’t go with food. They cover up even grilled steak. Since I drink 90-95% of my wine with food, I have quit buying them. I already have more than enough (since I won’t drink them with food)in my cellar for my own consumption for life, so have now identified them as a great source of wine to give to charity wine auctions. I don’t feel bad about that because they are well made wines and lots of people love them… yea, even clamor for them….just not me.

Alot dirty
a little bomb

To answer the question, dirty bomb.

The old world seems to be hit or miss when it comes to a quality vintage. I’m convinced that old world wine is simply driven by luck.

QOTD: Neutral for sure. Dirty Bomb all the way. Definitely going to try to get some of the Villacreces Ribero Del Duero. At 32 USD, for a 93++ wine, it seems like a total bargain. Looking forward to trying it.

PhilB, I agree when you wrote, “Some of my favorite Spanish values are like 91 pts in my book and in Parkerâ??s, and WS thinks they’re worth 84 points. The guy just doesnâ??t seem to be on the same planet as everybody elseâ?¦”

I just bought a mixed case a Spanish reds last weekend at the Winelibrary (including the Villacreces and some Torremilanos Cyclo). I’m happy that some scores are out of whack with my taste buds — more good wine (and cheaper) for me and you.

Gary-Super Ep! Love your schwag!!!!
OK Energizer Man –
you are STILL going strong!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!
QOTD:
Dirty, Dirty –
Seriously Dirty!!!
The ONLY
time I drink a
bomb is maybe
a dessert wine.
🙂

Gary, it’s great to see you treating yourself to some goodies as the taping marathon comes down the home stretch… you deserve it! Safe travels.

QOTD: dirty bomb — but usually I’m *strongly* in the mood for one style or the other.

Let’s go with a dirty cherry bomb. New favorite quote “the oak monster is riding my little pony through candy land”. Brilliant.

I have to go with dirty bomb. I really think that it you drink what you are in the mood for…old or new, its fun regardless. Amazing run of shows in one day, Gary!! This is why the Legion of Vayniacs is growing!!

Dirty…….but a nice shot of fruit at the beginning is nice!

More dirty than bomb for me. Never could get the video to play. Audio was fine but the message came up that the video was no longer avaiable, Wassup with that?

Bomb….but becoming dirtier the more i drink different wines. and i reckon i’ll get even dirtier once i try what you did in the training your palate episode.

dirty bombs

A big pile of dirt with a fire cracker in it suits me fine but if it’s good it’s good. Never say never (confusing saying that if you think about it too hard)

Hiya Garry 🙂

OOps, I looked up Wine Spectator and the Villacreces 2003 only got 84 pts.
I respect your taste and passion totally, but where did this large point discrepancy come about?
Ok, I see it was a jay Miller rating …
Anyway, always fun to csatch ya 🙂 Cheers
