QOTD: Chateau Ste Michelle 2006 Eroica Riesling – wow, what a balance of sweet and tart.

Loved watching those clouds roll by in the background

Long time lurker, first time poster. Crushing, CRUSHING loss but I think we saw the future on the field on Sunday.

Enjoy the show. Cheers!

QOTD: My new wine that I’ve recently started to enjoy….Muller Thurgau. Give it a crack some time. Amazing crisp acidity and a beautiful nose…

Good show…thanks for cutting back on the Thunder Cats riff…got old…appreciate your passion for the home team..not my home team.. but hey, passion is passion..got married this weekend and wowed the folks with the Point Reyes Vineyard’s pinot noir bubbly. That’s my home team. Cheers!

First time viewer…I am hooked! Although I am not a huge football fan, I am a big wine fan and have watched several videos on your “new to wine” page even though I have been a wine drinker for 10 years. I have learned a lot and found some new wines to try! My local wine shop is going to love you! I have written down 6 wines to try and have already picked up one of them.

Thanks for all you do!

QOTD: Mussels – tried them this weekend and they were fantastic!

I love seeing French wines on the show! Sometimes I feel that the New World is getting a lotta love.

QOTD: Other than this show, I love finding new words and idioms in French. Like the idiom directly translated, “Let’s return to our sheep” otherwise meaning, let’s get back to work.”

QOTD Marriage!

I don’t try new things? No way. You must not have been talking about me. Unfortunately, I had a different problem and that was that nearly everything I wanted to try was sold out. Bummin!

Q: Argentinian Malbecs, I’ve been ignoring them for a while and a month or two ago I tried a few that were great, now I am on a huge malbec kick, a great grape that is quite a value right now.

QOTD: Kudu venison. Kudu is a type of antelope in Southern Africa. The first time was at a lodge near Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. If I remember correctly I paired it with a South African Shiraz. The lodge where I was eating it was overlooking a water hole and all kinds of game was coming for a drink as the sun set. At that very same lodge I had warthog the next night that I had with a pinotage. It was also very good.

My favorite new experience – wine related – was drinking an Albrino from Rias Baxias.
I know that you have been playing them up lately, but I find them zesty (with 4 z’s).

I am a Systems Application Developer, been in the business 27 years. I just recently started playing womens hockey – lots of fun, great exersise. LOVE THE SHOW – a little behind on the episodes, but never miss one!

My favorite new thing would have to be ping pong -)! I just played it the other day for the first time WOW soooooooooooo much fun. I really love this episode, because it helps us all get past the idea of ratings. Cheers

Qotd – Being a Dad! 6 months and growing.

Wish I had bought a bottle of that Bordeaux when it was on sale and had free shipping – but I did expand my palate on the orders I made!

I do love lessons. Im as guilty as the next person at going to whevever to b uy wines and look at the 90+ scored wines first. But Im learning to try new wines and look at tasting notes first. QOTD: Im not going to answer this with an exact answer, but say new restaurants. Ive found a few new places lately and am quite happy I decided to check them out. Gotta love new finds that bring it!

QOTD: Sex

qotd: when it comes to wine, any varietal I haven't had yet even if it's not great. Most recently a picpoul outta Languedoc. For $8 it had the q.p.r. for sure
