QOTD: Yes, I had one in Italy and another from Cal.

Great ep GV – I have wanted to start trying Barolo and this was a great intro to the wines. I have seen the Giacomo wine you tasted in a few shops and hearing your flavor descriptors for me tells me I would probably not like it – thank you for saving me $60. The first wine, however, seems like its a little more in my budget and more my style.

QOTD: Haven’t had a Barolo.

glad to see you coming up with some _good_ wines GV. Seems you were on a dry spell for a while in finding some exceptional wines. Its fun to see a GV with a smile on his face 😉 Next time try to find some cheaper ones, tho 140 is wayy out of my range, LOL

QOTD Sadly haven’t tried the sweet nector of the rolo maybe this weekend we’ll see.

Coming out of my lurker lair just to say… no, never had a Barollo. Made me want to, though.

HEY Gary
love the Barolo – probably the favorite is the Rivetto “Leon” Barolo. Most likely because I visited the winery while I was in Piemonte this summer so they have a special place in my heart. The “Leon” Vineyard is their top dog but their other Barolo “Guilin” is real good too and not as expensive. I have had the Oberto, but not the 2000, I think it was the 2003, as I can remember really good. Also the Oberto Dolcetto d’ Alba is steal.

See ya

I must have, at some point, had a Barolo in Italy last year. Sorry I just don’t recall. But I do now remember that it is made with the nebiolo grape (spelling?)and that it has a brownish hue. Thanks for another informative show.

Never had a Barolo.
I’m too cheap.

QOTD — I confess, I have not had a barolo. The only Nebbiolo-based wines I’ve had were from the more northerly Gattinara area, and I didn’t like either.

“T”

Never had a Barolo, unfortunately.

I did not see the origianl episode, so thanks for redoing this. Ever since reading about Barolos in “The Wine Bible” I’ve been interested in them!

QOTD: The only Barolo I’ve had was a 2002 Damilano. The bottle was on the discount shelf ($16.99, normally $30) so I tried it. I was surprised that the wine wasn’t more tannic. The flavor was good but I’d like to try that $100 Barolo you had on the show today!

Never had Barolo. Will try one soon.

I’ve never had a Barolo…can’t even afford the stuff. I will just live vicariously through you.

Gret episode…this is becoming one of my favorite regions….so damn good!
QOTD – Shit yeah….I am a Barolo lover [Thanks Joe G for the gentle nudge ;)] Favorite Barolo has to be Liciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis 2001. I had this at the epic Buffalo WLTV offline!

I had a Barolo in a wine tasting class I took in January, so it has been quite a while and the amount that I had was just a smidgen. Since then, I started a wine tasting group and were are working our way through France and will soon be going to Italy and Spain. So I will be adding it to the itinerary. For anyone who wants to learn more about wine, start a wine tasting group. I have been hosting it for only six weeks and I am amazed at how much I have learned so far! Plus you meet new people who like wine!

i thought you said no more barolo episodes. but why not, they are beautiful.

QOTD: of course. i have a few in my cellar and i have my eye on a few more for later drinking. the problem is that most that are begin consumed now are are just way too young. it is really hard too to decant a wine for 5 hours at the resto. on that note, they surely have the possibility to be monolithic in their youth which leave people with the feeling of ” don’t get it ” feeling.

QOTD: I got a few bottles of the 03 Ghisolfi Barolo for an Italian dinner last week. Rated 92 by WS. It was overall good but the mid-palatte to the finish a bit too earthy. I am putting the extra bottles away for a few more years (recommended after 2010) before I open the next one.
