Great show.

QOTD: Frosted shredded wheat.

Wow a 90 point fruit bomb! Too bad it wasn’t true to the Merlot flavor. I’d like to try it anyway.
It’s funny that your palate doesn’t like oak: doesn’t oak make a good pallet?

QOTD: Capn’ Crunch Peanutbutter cereal!!! 😮

for my money it’s hard to beat Cookie Crisp. I mean everyone loves cookies and milk, so why not have them for breakfast? Good info in a good episode. Much fun, thanks.

Cheerios with half and half a just ripe banana – yum!

Is it my screen or is Gary working in the dark?

QOTD I’m gonna have to go with Golden grahams and I’m Cuckoo for Coco Puffs, but for a more mature cereal honey nut shredded wheat and Puffins Peanut Butter cereal is awsome! Haven’t tried any south african wines yet but i plan do in the up coming weeks after watching the show.

QOTD: Bare Naked stuff

Love the fruit BOMBS G ,, South Africa is happening .. Need to try Ernie Els effort…
QOTD—- Oatmeal Squares with sliced banana

Gary, I tried a Pinotage last year. I picked it up out of curiosity on my way to dinner with my husband for our anniversary. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was extremely fruity. A little too much for my taste. Although my husband really liked it. After today’s show, I would give it another go, seeing how different they can be.

QOTD: Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds. Pure Heroin.

QOTD: Fruity Pebbles.

Cool Episode!! Bringin’ da South African
Thunder! Da Peacock Ridge & Rustenberg
sound like Winners.

QOTD: Anything dats Whole Grain w/vitamins

QOTD : Golden grahams…. yum !

I love fruity cheerios mixed with whole-grain cheerios!

loved this episode. Quick Question. Can you decant a wine for too long, and if so how do you know the right amount of time to decant a wine?

QOTD: Cap’n Crunch

I’m totally hooked on Kashi Autumn Wheat. Allow me to quote their website:

“Abundantly Delicious Organic Whole Wheat Biscuits With A Kiss Of Natural Sweetness

Made from wholesome wheat interlaced with just the right amount of organic sweetener, our bite size biscuits will satisfy your desire for a tasty, all natural, filling breakfast. We start with whole organic wheat berries then steam, shred and weave them. When baked, the sweetener in the center makes the biscuits rise, creating a light, puffy texture and enhancing the toasty, whole grain taste.”

I wonder if this sounds like any wines you might know?

Gary – Maybe you could do an episode on wines inspired by cereals or something?

To: Rick “the model” M

Decanting, in the old days served three purposes: to help air out some of the sulfur odors in wines and to help a wine open up. Additionally, slow and careful decanting sepratated the wine from loose sediment in a ong-cellared bottle.

Today, there is significantly less sulfites in wine, so the main reasons to decant are to help the wine open up and to separate it from any sediment.

How long do you decant? Well that is something that differs for each wine (some say each bottle). Basically you taste the wine and see how it evolves. Do its aromas and flavors change and blossom?

Some wines respond to this others do not. Some take a long time to open up and others experience a precipitous decline in their bouquet.

Somebody mentioned the Wolftrap? (Sorry — new viewer here.) IMHO, that stuff tasted seriously nasty. Tire fire time — total burning rubber. But then, I’m trusting my palate.

I’ve been pleased with a Pinotage we have at work — Warwick, I think the 2004? We had it on the by-the-glass list and I don’t always pay complete attention to vintage when I’m working. 🙂

AnswerOTD: I love Golden Grahams but I don’t buy them; they’re not good for me. 🙂 Hehe.

QOTD: Kix

Viva South Afican Wwne! Great episode!
More South African wines would always be nice – how about tasting some of the great Shiraz or dessert wines? Or wines from Franschoek (to beak our of the Stellenbosch/Paarl rut)?

QOTD: Honey Nut Cheerios

Cheerios. I don;t know why, but my whole life I have been addicted to healthy cereals like Cheerios, Wheaties, Shredded Wheat and Raisin Bran. When the sugar bomb cereals came along I never hooked up. The only sugar cereal I ever really liked was LIFE cereal, with the grains woven right in the cereal.

Keep on Rockin’ Mister Vay-Ner-Chuck!

I dig the Frosted Flakes..always have. It might just be the Tony the Tiger thing, but nonetheless, they are tasty.

Glad to see a nice showing for a Merlot even though it may have been manipulated slightly.
