  • Interesting Question of the Day: Hard to come up with just one. At the moment I’d probably choose Philadelphia. Though, I’m sure my opinion my swing when winter hits!

  • NathanN

    I have only had one Malbec in my life. Thanks for showing me some more.

    QOTD: Lake City Colorado. It’s a little town in the mountains a beautiful place. When I was younger our family used to vacation there about every other year. Lots of memories.

    Malbecs are my new wines of focus and I was really excited to see a new episode on them. Plus you have to enjoy the energy on the episode.

    QOTD: I am split between two completely different cities: San Francisco, CA and Tipperary, Ireland….I don’t know if I could pick one over the other.

    Will have to try that Alamos. Had a Ben Marco last year (either an ’03 or ’04) and think the bottle may have been flawed – had noticeable volatile acidity (there was even a bit of vinegar on the nose). I like what Susana Balbo has been doing – really like the Crios Torrontes.

    QOTD: Florence, Italy.

    QOTD – Chicago! It has what one would expect from a big city, but it’s populated with real people a.k.a. Mid-westerners. I went to school there and loved it. But, I still hate the Cubs. I’ll always be a Cincinnati sport fans no matter where I live.

    GV, you were wishing for some Browning Nagle talent from Chad on Friday. Man, he stunk it up. Eli looked WAY better, and that’s not good.

    QOTD: Lots of great cities. London and NYC are my top two.

  • Mr. Cabernet

    I’m a little confused about oak. If they wine is aged (soaked) in oak isn’t it natural for it to taste of oak?

    QOTD-Chicago my hometown, but to visit–Rome.
