    “very thin and hollow, a little bit of cherry on the midpallet which is nice, but it’s very watered down”

  • Bill V.

    Nice cheeky-tweak, Gar’!

    QOTD: I work for a “trailer house” in Burbank. We make movie trailers (previews) & TV spots for the major studios, esp. Disney. We have a live-action wing, but I deal exclusively with Animation promotion & clients. My “William” entry for the T-shirt contest was shot in our kitchen!

  • Shane

    QOTD: I am an architect in Dallas, I am new to wine, will have a Zin tonight in Gary’s honor (since I have one at the house anyway), and right now I am studying the proportions of the classical Tuscan order for a project. History is awesome. By the by Gary, watched the WL Tour episode over the weekend, and I am digging your space. Especially the double height main space and the brick cellar room with the masonry arches. Your dad did a great job GC-ing, big shout out to Sasha.

  • JonE

    G-Man, next Zin Epi-can you do a little Biale? The 05′ black Chicken has huge amounts of alcohol (I think 15.6%+) and I am really wondering where its at.

    QOTD:In the business…whether I like it or not

    Great energy on the show today (as usual). I’m trying to leave behind my lurker ways and actually post sometimes. The Zins you reviewed sounded great, but unfortunately, I don’t believe that any of those can be purchased where I live, and I am a victim of some of those alcohol laws you mentioned that prevent me from ordering from you direct. But, I’m a big fan of Zins, so thanks for featuring them.
    QOTD: I work in IT support for a cell phone company..so I get to sit around and watch video blogs during the day.

  • JerseyGirl turned CNY vayniac

    QOTD: I’m a designer and when my face isn’t plastered to my computer screens at work, I’m either at the gym, chillin with the boyfriend, friends & family, watching WLTV, reading, watching TV, or drinkin’ wine! I live a pretty simple life, and I like it that way!

    (where’s MY wristband?!)

    Oh, on Saturday I tried an Oregon Zin… wasn’t impressed with it though – thin and dissapointing. Maybe next time.

  • Orion Slayer

    I’m not a CKC, but I’ve got to watch my finances. The wines today would prevent me from drinking my 365 wines a year. But the 1st and 3rd are tempting!

    QOTD: I’m a programmer for a health insurance company. The subject matter of my work is kind of dry at times, but I get to learn a lot about programming and data management, so it keeps me happy. Plus the people I work with are great.

  • thepiratedoc

    I’m a family doc when not being dad to boys 9 & 12. I don’t sail, fish, or play golf as much as I should, and I’ve become a Carolina Panthers fan due to proximity but will always have a place in my heart for Kenny Stabler, Ted Hndricks, John Madden, Lester Hayes, Tim Brown and the REAL Oakland Raiders. Not the current crop of chuckleheads in Silver and Black. At least they are playing in the right town again. And I like wine. And I have a better wife than I deserve, and two dachshunds one of whom has a death wish. Good zin show, deinitely a worthy grape.

    “very thin and hollow, a little bit of cherry on the midpalate.” A Classic episode, i’m a lover of Chianti and those four in particular are an embarrasment. I’m just starting to get into the Zins and Syrahs from Cali and am loving what i’m finding so far.
