QOTD – After Pinot Days this weekend, I’m making sangria from 18 half-full bottles of Pinot Nior. Take that Sideways!

Congrats Tim! Cheers and happy 4th!

your right i’ve never had a aglianico before but i will try one the first oppertunity i get. QOTD-dont know yet i bet there wont be anything that good down at coney island tomarrow for the hot dog contest.

🙂
I think I need a few bottles of this… thanks for the introduction.

Awesome TimF,,,, have a great time and let us in on all the details.

I would like some examples of “a lot of things that are great are hidden under flab,,,” Please do expound……………

QOTD: I tried the Coppola white, I think Sauv Blanc from a few episodes back and really really liked it. I’m also drinking Gin and Tonics with a wedge of orange instead of lime because it’s summer.

Starting my first homebrew beer this week!

Wow…I feel like I’m learning more and more every day!! I’m definitely going to try one of these wines soon.

oh & GV….DEFINITELY…..Flight of the Conchords is hilarious!! Check out some of their older stand-up on youtube. I promise you will crack up!!!

Gary, love it when you talk like this…”plant wine there”. Pretty tricky. We all know what saying, but no image can quite match the statement. Energy rams language. Thanks GV!!!! Now, excuse me while I go out and taste some vines!

GV you keep bringin’ the thunder. Never even heard of this grape let alone taste it. thanks.
QOTD; It’s been a little cool this week but I think it’s time for my summer cocktail – Campari and soda with a lime wedge.

GV, use that Pownce invite so we can continue to Friend. You. Up.

I think I’ll go get some more of the “Adult Lemonade” stuff I had last weekend. Not bad for 6 bones.

Thanks for tasting another varietal. Aglianico is new to me. QOTD I just popped a bottle of the ’04 Majella Sparkling Shiraz so will likely finish it off tomorrow.

Dryhead right here!

QOTD: Water. Going out tonight, gonna need it.

Hey Gary,

It’s been a while since I have commented last, but I haven’t missed a single episode. And now for some two-way communication action!

This episode is now in my own personal top ten; not because it’s the most entertaining, or because the wines turned out to be some of the greatest ever on WLTV, but because you devoted the show to a very important varietal that is still under the radar.

And because it’s your job to help us find undervalued wines in the marketplace, I think this is an important episode. Just like the first Pinotage episode, or when you talked about Tocai Firuliano or Ribolla for that matter.

About 4 months ago I suggested an episode to you about Aglianico, which is another reason I was excited about today’s video.

Oh and bye the way, you hit the nail on the head with the pronounciation of “Aglianico,” and when you didn’t say it right you corrected yourself. The easiest way to pronounce the varietal is by replacing the “g” with an “ey”… THus, “Aleyanico.”

On a different note, I’ve noticed how much wine stores are pushing Argentine Malbec with grilled meats like it is the cure to AIDS…. it’s a good pairing.

The post graduation job hunt has been going well, and I’m looking forward to getting married in two months!

QUOTD: For the 4th, I’m having some filet mignon on the grill, and while I’m grilling I’m going to have some Cava from Spain. But my friend may end up opening a 2004 Turnbull Cabernet… mmm

Does anyone know what the 57 on the board means?

I’m guessing AJ’s b’day!

Great show. Great in so many ways… Always great. Always honest and with the very finest intentions. Hope all enjoy the holiday. I’ll be drinking tea.

Been a fan of this grape for awhile – also like the ones from Taurasi.

QOTD: 2001 Duckhorn Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Patzimaro Vineyard.

I’ll be popping some Rocky Creek Zin. Not to worry: if I hate it, I’m emailing you personally to tell you so, just like you instructed me to in that parking lot episode.
Happy 4th!

Megan

great show. but i have always pronounced it Ah-ley-ah-NEE-co so i guess i’m wrong? thx for the knowledge.

4th will be 04 Vevre Les Clos or 04 Flying Goat Santa Rita Hills – depends on what i grill. i know, Grand Cru Chablis on Independence Day but remember they helped us big-time back then! have to take call too so consumption will be limited.

BTW Frank Viola freakin’ destroyed me when we both played JV hoops in 9th grade. he pwned me!!!

What a coincidence — I just picked up a bottle of aglianico, which I’d never tried before, and this is today’s topic. Awesome! (In case anyone wonders, I just tasted my bottle while watching the show, and I’m really enjoying this varietal.)

QOTD: My fiance and I are going on a picnic for the 4th, so I bought a nice, buttery chardonnay to go with some baked chicken and other picnic fare.

That’s awesome — you made my YEAR!!! When do we leave?!?

Great show, I love aglianico! Not a lot of bottles available to sample, but with any luck that part of the wine world will change.

QOTD: who knows! Might just try to surprise myself.

QOTD: Probably beer. lol Can’t drink too much, though. Traveling and blowing stuff up.

Bringing the Thunder again! You’re on fire. Coviv into the shopping cart. Enjoy the transformers!

Tom F, congrats again, well deserved.

Nestle’s Quik with water? Even I wouldn’t go down that road (or 2% for that matter)

What happened to the dry heads? Cat got their tongue?

Good things hidden under flab?????? I don’t want to know.

QOTD: Hmmm, I’m not sure. I guess it’ll have to be California as an Aussie would be unpatriotic.
