I found Boudreaux listed at this NY store:

Grand Wine Cellar
40 Cold Spring Road
Syosset, NY, 11791

I’m going to YELL at you!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Num-Nuts!!!!!!!!!!! You just tripled the guy’s price so even if we were successful at getting on their mailing list, that probably leads to a waiting list, we wouldn’t be able to afford his wines anymore 🙂

QOTD
1. 1970 Charles Krug Vintage Selection Cabernet (Drank the last one in 1985. Still the best cabernet I’ve ever had)
2. 1985 Lynch Bages I’ll have to agree with Mr. Cruse that that bottle opened my eyes to Bordeaux and I drank mine 10 yrs ago. Really looking forward to drinking my 1989 next year.
3. 2005 Hewitson Private Cellar Shiraz/Mourvedre I drank one bottle and realized that in 5-7 yrs this could be phenominal. I realized that Australia can make some very serious wine.

Your sign off today was the hardest I’ve laughed at WLTV in a long time. Great stuff.

QOTD: 2003 Rubicon – now I will spring for some expensive wine now and then

Gary,

Way to go on the Boudreaux today. The 2003 is a great wine. If you ever get the chance you need to go visit Rob when you are in Washington. It is the only winery I know of that is completely off the grid and self powered. Check out “On Deadly Ground” with Steven Segal, they used Rob’s house next to the winery in many scenes.

QOTD – 2003 Boudreaux Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon “RESERVE” (From barrel sample). Rob only made 50 cases of the stuff. Got to try each of the barrels seperately and then he blended the two samples in my glass. It was a mind altering experience.

Werewolf wins. Hooray for Twitter!

Werewolf wins. Hooray for Twitter!

Sad but good ep GV. QOTD: Although I’ve had some good to great wine in recent months, it’s been some time since I’ve had a truly profound wine.

Bring back happy Gary…

We did bags on our feet in Maine snowstorms too! Awww… memories!
QOTD: I think I had one or two on Saturday night at our totally awesome offline… maybe 2001 Bodegas Valsacro Rioja Dioro Seleccion J&D
Gary, don’t be sad, please.. it’s contagious. And I’m finally feeling better!! I understand, though, and I wish you only the best and happiest of days to come to help you through this.

QOTD: My buddy brought me a bottle of the ’02 Quilceda creek cab for my Birthday two weeks ago. between that and GV exposing me to Cayuse last winter I’m all about WA these days.

Hey GV, I think small WA lables should be a monthly event for WLTV.

Great episode!

QOTD too unfocused. I know what you mean, but it happens a lot of
different times to everyone, and I’m not sure of its relevance to others.

Dang, that 2003 Boudreaux doesn’t seem to be available ANYWHERE! There’s plenty of the ’04 around though.

QOTD: The three wines that have shaped my perceptions more than any others are the 2003 Corte Riva Merlot, the 1999 Masi Serego Alighieri Armaron, and the 2004 Noblaie Chinon Rouge.

I had a really nice Montepulciano last night that had all the best elements of a good Syrah/Viognier. It was the 2004 Farnese Casale Vecchio Montepulciano d’ Abruzzo. Beccy and I sipped on it in pure ecstacy, and contemplated how much our ability to derive intense pleasure from a nice bottle of wine has advanced over the last year. Thanks, Gary!

Love the WA state wines. QOTD: Cayuse’s syrahs changed my wine world.

QOTD: NONE yet! 🙁
GREAT SHOW! “come on guys, this is a one-man show”

Great Monday for Washington! Seahawks crush the 49ers, plus Gary loves on our wine.

QOTD: I’m pretty new to wine so I’m actually looking forward to that moment in which my appreciation transitions.

$.02: As a Washington native, it seems weird to constantly say Washington STATE unless you’re referring to the university. It’s just Washington, yo.

All my football teams – college and NFL lost this weekend too! There’s always next week but we did win the President’s Cup in Golf.
QOTD: Started to drink more Italian (Rossos) and French Bordeaux this year transitioning from 100% California Reds. Thanks to your reviews and WL selection.

QOTD: I tried many Rioja wines in a short time span that did little or nothing for me. I was honestly ready to give up on Rioja in general. “[expletive], can’t ANYone in this region produce a wine that’s not super-fruity/sugary and too bitterly tannic? Why the hell am I still trying to drink these? My palate is SO not amused, man.”

Then I tried the Gloria de Ostatu 2001 Rioja Alavesa (very recently, even; I wrote a Cork’d review for it). That wine has singlehandedly changed my mind about Rioja: maybe there are palate-pleasing wines from that region after all; maybe I can find more of them (hopefully cheaper); maybe I won’t give up on the region-in-general after all. I should order the 2000 for comparison’s sake while I seek out other Riojas that make me happy.

Jets: As I often say, I’m not a football fan so I’m unaffected by any team’s loss. But I know you fans hurt when your teams fail you, so: sorry, man.

Boudreaux: Yeah, like I’m gonna find any of that for sale after today… Ha.

Peanut Gallery: See, this is why I think you’d do pretty well with an interactive audience. Every now and then it’d be fun to see you pull a small (2 to 4 people, maybe) audience into your office, put ’em on camera with you, and do a tasting with them. “One man show” indeed. 🙂

Great episode. Glad that you are a believer in WA wines. I agree that the WA wines are blowing away CA, especially when you factor in the price. The Syrahs are huge, with great complexity, and they seem to get better year by year as the vineyards and winemakers get more established.

QOTD: 2001 Cougar Crest Syrah (Walla Walla). I had just moved to Seattle from the East Coast and have very little knowledge of WA wines. The Cougar Crest Syrah made me a believer. And they get better every year. They make a great Cab and a surprising Viognier also (plus a few others. Check it out if you can find it. The prices are going up as they rack up the awards.

Big G, My favorite Episode in a long time. Sad or Not. Hell, look what happened to my Bears. Anway I’ve got to tell you I’m a little pissed at you. The last two times you have been in LA you have not given us Angelenos the chance to hook up with ya. Maybe GV has gone a little Hollywood on us. : {

QOTD: I think my transition wine was Red Zin from the Dry Creek area. I think my second transition was this year in Italy, with the Barolo, Barberesco, and of course Dolcetto rocking my world and opening my eyes to a whole “new” wine scene.

Sorry your Jets lost.

J DUB

Nice to see you enjoy that last one, happy for you. And a truly funny sign off.

C’mon guys this is One Man Show ! – GV laying it down….disgruntle after that Jets game….did you see my Eagles’ Offensive line ? They could use the Oak Monster to aid in pass protection.

Great show. Love the WA wines.

QOTD – It was a 1998 Beacastel that a friend opened for me that showed me what the Rhone was all about. I have been hooked ever since.

QOTD: 2001 Worthy was the 1st wine I had that blew me away.

QOTD: La Grola 2003, Allegrini
