A dumb Rhein king

haha, give the oak monster shirts props one day and then complain about them the next 😀

QOTD: I don't know if I can remember what I had in 2007, but this week I had a Greek Moschofilero by Boutari. It was very good. The worst wine was a cab from Cavas Submarinas. It tasted like wet musty cardboard. It could be TCA even though the cork was synthetic.

  • Karl Laczko

    QOTD – Best = Chateau Musar, Gaston Hochar, 1999, sublime. Worst = Chablis Premier Cru (identity hidden) – Corked, very disappointing.

    Weird lighting, looks like some Hollywood ‘show’ or something!? Welcome back Gary, you look about 10 years older! Have to say in response to the comments that shows are ‘running too long’ – get an attention span! Wine library tv is a good thing, one of the best things to happen to the wine world in long time, and ‘too long’ shouldn’t apply when the shows are only 20-25 minutes long….you can always bosh a good bottle of vino whilst you watch!! Long live WLTV and Gary Vee!

  • Best wine: Viñedos y Bodegas Pablo, â??Menguanteâ? Garnacha, Cariñena 2005

    Worst wine: Torbreck Cuvée Juveniles 2005 Grenache Mataro Syrah, but I think I got a bad bottle of this while I was on vacation in New Hampshire.

    Both Grenache-based, by the way.
