    Gotta agree G-Man Justin has some surprising QPR with this vintage of Cab.

    QOTD: first real fall weekend in the NC, I think some Oregono pinot action might be happening

  • Kim

    Thanks for posting nationally distributed wines!
    Will check out the middle 2!

    Gary,

    Copenhagen Callin’…

    QOTD: Going to Sicily on Sunday for one week with some friends including a few kids and some teenagers. On Monday morning at 10:00 tastings will start at the COS winery near Ragusa and later the same day at Valle dell’Acate closeby. Tough start of the vacation but sometimes a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do!

    Have a fine weekend and salute from
    Jens

    Hi Gary, first show for a while I’ve managed to watch early on. The only one of those Cabs I can get easily over there is the Hess, so typical that you pazzzed on that!

    QOTD – Saturday is England day, football (v Estonia) in the afternoon, rugby (v France) in the evening, I forsee lots of sitting in front of the TV with a glass of alcohol in my hand, haven’t decided what yet. Currently sipping on a pleasant Italian Negramaro from Salento.
    Sunday, long lie in in the morning, after that, who knows?

    QOTD: This weekend its the NC state fare. I dont think there is wine there, or anything but Bud lite. But next weekend (Oct 20th) is more interesting, I’ll be going to the Yadkin Valley Wine Fest (North Carolina Wines) and will be spreading the thunder all day long!

  • Autoproxy

    QOTD: Meeting up with a friend from school for tapas and spanish wines. Then on Sunday trying to find a bar that will play the big Packers-Redskins game. Btw…Pete Kendall’s really done wonders for our running game. (low blow, I know. but you’ve taken some superfluous shots at the Skins before.)

    Great ep, GV! Thanks for doing the often request cali. cab – especially now that the Vayniac fruit is coming in!

    QOTD: I will be at a Vayniac Camp at Crushpad on Saturday and possibly there on Sunday as well to sort fruit. Maybe even pick up a Justin Paso Robles cab to take on Saturday!
