    Guys, PLEASE learn the difference between the plural and the possessive – it’s not “cabernet’s”, and in this episode, it’s not “video’s”, but PLURAL “videos”

    Hey Gary! I’m Baaaaack!! Long time no post, but Cote Rotie caught my eye. Great show. I love the 2003 Giugal I had back on Memorial Day. My TN were identical to yours with the great nose – probably due to the Viognier – and the truest syrah flavor of black raspberry and choclate covered cherries!! Totally worth 50bones!! My last bottle will never last, so I may have to buy another 2 bottles soon! I love Rhone syrah, but if you pump it on WLTV aren’t you worried the price will jump thru the roof like Oregon Pinot Noir after Sideways???? How about the less expensive St Joseph or Crozes-Hermitage? What is your other favorite N Rhone syrah producer, other than in Cote Rotie?
    QOTD – every chance I get!
    Question for you – you still intersted in coming up here to Katonah for a wine tasting dinner after my daughter’s bat mitzvah mishap?? We have a wine tasting group and you could be the guest taster…of a menu that we could work out. What do you think?

    Cotes du Rhone is fabulous in 2003, so heads up for that. Question of the day: of course I always drink wine with Winelibrary-TV 😉 Tonight a simple 1996 Bordeaux. Aged well, but I am running out of them.

  • vivaitalia

    I’ve been dying to try some cote-rotie for a long time know. The price just kind of holds be back. Now at least I have some guidelines to use. It’s so weird to me that syrah can be so earthy and austere in the rhone, and make these nuclear fruit bombs in Australia. I know you’re probably freaking out with the vikings rolling the jets tonight.

    QOTD: Sometimes. Tonight it was a 2005 Littorai Pinot Noir Les Larmes Anderson Valley. You are a visionary. The future is WLTV. I’m convinced that it will one day rival the traditional networks and cable channels.

  • Vinacull

    Boooh yeah THUNDER and another exciting EP! We are all about the Cote Rotie and Hermitage. Just can’t afford to drink them very often. Gary I fully appreciate your comments on Guigal. They are one of those that people love to bash because of their high volume production, but still is one of my all time favorites because the wines generally show so well — from entry level CdR through CDP up to Hermitage and Cote Rotie. Hopefully some day I have a chance to try one of the single vineyard La la’s from a classic vintage.
