    I’m surprised … you didn’t go for the Bogle petite sirah? A lot less meh than the pinot noir.

    QOD: 2002 Deen de Bortoli Vat 2 Petit Verdot (!) and 1995 Granja Nuestra Senora de Remelluri Rioja (just a baby!)

  • QOTD: (long time lurker)

    2001 Columbia Crest Two Vines Shriaz (drinking now [right now], even better than it was years ago, glad I purchased a case, 4 bottles left :-()

    2005 Pillar Box Red (one of the best wine values I’ve ever had [the above wine was a great value also], purchased cases of this stuff and still find a few lost bottles in local stores from time to time. Avoid the 2006, it’s half the wine the 2005 is)

    — the other was a loire cab franc that I liked a whole lot, can’t remember the producer

  • Pastafari Pirate

    Hey, thanks for giving me a new inexpensive white to try. I’ll have to stick that Stickleback into my shopping cart. QOTD: aw, shit; do I dare answer this? Do I lie? ok, most recent was a Baccari’s Monferrato Dolcetto, and before that… *cringe* a Sutter Home Muscat. Yep, I should’ve lied and said anything else. Hey, I was curious. And no, I will never make that mistake again. Now you’ll never respect me. *sigh*

    We’ll see your Jets this Sunday. CAW! CAW! CAW! CAW! CAW! CAW! CAW! CAW! CAW! CAW!

    First time to comment, but I’ve been lurking for a while. Gary, thank you for doing this. YOU bring the thunder. Along the lines of value, could you do an episode on Cote de Blaye claret? I was brought up on these wines and would like your take on this area of Bordeaux.
    Cheers

  • To Pastafari Pirate: I’d rather water, straight out of the dog’s bowl, while on all fours, than drink Sutter Home. If you need to call someone next time you feel the need to drink Sutter Home, give me a call.

    I work at ‘Crown Wine & Spirits’ in Ft.Lauderdale,FL. We have wines open to taste,everyday.The other day it was ‘Chateau Ducasse’,lovely lovely. Also, a surprise ‘Estancia’ Sauvignon Blanc. Very delicious for it’s 9.99 price tag. A creamy lemon curd flavor, much like the lovely ‘chateau Ducasse’. Really nice. I also think of the ‘Amanya’ sauvignon blanc I had a while back. Delicious. Those are the last two wines I had.
    Thanks, Gary !!!! I always learn from your shows. It’s great fun,too !

    QOTD: Abundantly Rich Red Blend just hours ago at dinner out, and Jessup Cellars 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon this weekend. Unfortunately, neither really wowed me.

    Oregon Pinot Gris, I’m seeking that out now. I just had Wine by Joe Pinot Gris this weekend and thought it was excellent.

    QOTD – A Pio Cesare Dolcetto, becaus after that episode I had to try one. Glad I did. And at this very moment a Valkenburg Gewurz, also a first for me. I’m discovering I have a real aversion to the oak monster and enjoy old world wines. Gary has been THE instrument of this discovery process. I’m a wine newbie and watching this video blog has taught me enough to conduct my own tasting experiments and discover what I like/don’t like. Without what I’ve learned here I’d be flying blind.

  • fatherthechair

    Encouraging episode, will give both the whites a try. Kind of cheating sneaking the 90 point comment in there– I sympathize, it must be torture not to give scores all week, but thanks!

    QOTD Innocent Bystander Shiraz/Viogner (really liked it) and a pretty nice Pinot Noir whose name I can’t remember, at a restaurant in Westchester County, NY called La Crémaillère. It had a blue label.
