Great show, Gary! I want to find that last one, for sure. Sounds like something I would love.

QOTD: Frogtown Cellars’ Testimony, we opened this yesterday and I had forgotten how much I like it and a local vinyard. OVZ from Lodi – Oakridge Winery – an excellent Zin and Santa Ema Reserve Merlot from Chile – very chocolatey (don’t know how to spell that).

From Hurricane Katrina through just this past month, my ‘table wine’ drinking was almost entirely nice, but not really memorable. The two exceptions were dessert wines saved, which I enjoyed last winter and early spring:

Warre’s 1976 Colheita (Reserve Tawny), bottled in 1996, a really lovely tawny
Royal Tokaji 1993 Tokaji (6 Put.s)

Wow, it’s hard to pick only three. I can’t wait to try the Beausejour. I think I’ll buy it for my wife for Christmas and hope she shares!

Favorite 3 at the moment: 2003 Rubicon; 2004 Turnbull Cab; and a freaking 2004 Priorat that I can’t remember the name of (had it at a restaurant on an expense account – need to ask the guys I was with what the name is – lame I know).

The drinking age should be lowered to 18. I’m 15 and therefore I need to wait 6 more years until I can legally drink wine, despite the fact that my aunt and uncle own a small winery in Healdsburg, Sonoma County…not that the law is stopping me from anything.

BTW, my parents really likes the 2005 Fleur Des Pins Graves!!!!!

Very nice episode, GV. I enjoyed hearing about your faves. Haven’t posted in a while, but I thought I’d add my favorites to the list. I followed your format, and have one dessert, one red, one white (sorry, no rose). These are wines that I like enough to have purchased several bottles.

White: 1990 Poniatowski Vouvray Aigle Blanc (fairly easy to find online, about $20)
Red: 2004 Montes Alpha M (all bazooka joe bubblegum and blueberries on the nose, mmmmm…. could sniffy-sniff this all night long, way more expensive than my usual but I don’t care, $76)
Dessert: 2004 Tittarelli Dulce Natural (amazing pears, finish of hot cinnamon,$19)

Posting this so I can read what others have posted. 🙂
