QOTD- ’97 Friggiali Riserva from a 3 liter at my wedding reception. Not the finest I’ve ever had, but I’ll never forget it. Cheese with Brunello? Got to be a Pecorino Toscana that was made at the same winery as the Brunello you’re drinking with it.

QOTD: 1997 Antinori Pian delle Vigne pecorino

Bought heavy into the 1997s and have NOT been disappointed,,, only in that I’ll run out some day,,, oh well, there will be the 99s and 01’s!

Ciao!

Great episode. Enthusiasm is still high. I like it.

QOTD: I think my first Brunello experience was my most memorable. I may have had “better” brunellos, but there’s nothing like that first sip of a new wine that really grabs your attention and makes you want to explore more. I had it this past January and it was the Livio Sassetti Brunello di Montalcino Pertimali 1998.

Brunello and cheese? Depends on the style of brunello but I would say parmaggiano-reggiano.

Great show! First time comment… WOOT!!

Great episode, your number one Gary.
QOTD: I have not experience that many Brunello wines yet. But I will soon.

QOD: Never had a Brunello. Guess I now have to go get some.

FWIW, I badged you up the day I saw the badge me up button up there, just never got around to tell you so. Poor me.

Happy Birthday Tony!

QOTD: I have had some regular ones but I have a few I am sitting on…..I will get back to you 😉

good episode. Glad you were enjoying yourself.

QOTD: I have never experienced part 1 or 2 or that QOTD…..yet!

I love brunello, but I love the rossos better. Sometimes I taste a little too much oak in the brunello and I find a little less in the rosso di montalcino. But when I can afford a good brunello, they totally kill it. I like the Fanti and the one we serve where I work. They make an awesome rosso as well. I’ll send you one to taste on the show. It’s very old world and I think we need to see some more old world style wines on the show. I used to love the fruit bomb but as I move farther away from college, I just don’t like jello shots and vodka in coolaid as much.

Love these wine…..no really, I love Brunello!
QOTD – Gotta be Altesino 2001 , damn delicious!

Great show. Now I will need to go try some Brunellos so I can answer the question of day. I do have a question for you. I noticed that you have Vayniac Wine Glasses on the show but I can not find them on your on-line store. Do you sell them to the public.

Brunellos are something I’ve wanted to get into but simply haven’t gotten around to it, due to price and convenience. Heck, I’m really lacking in much Italian wine experience, period.

Ciao Gary,
Great show – thanks for taping all these episodes. Got to have the daily fix of WL.
Tonight a little pasta, Sicilian style, with a good bottle of Nero d’Avola.
A dopo

QOD: Lambardi Brunello di Montalcino 1999 – Mama Mia!

QOTD: I haven’t ever had Brunello at all, and it looks to be out of my price range (for now, anyway).
