Just wait for the 2004 vintage/ classic!

QOTD: Never had one. I’ve been sticking with a $15 cap (sometimes $20) until I’m out of grad school and can afford stuff again. They’re on my list though.

I’ve had a bunch of Barolos. Amongst my favourite wines, although I do not drink enough of them.
Paolo Scavino is my favourite producer. His Carobric (1999) and Bric del Fiasc are amonst my favourites.
Also had an excellent 2001 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis at a recent WLTV offline which will lead me to try other Sandrone offerings..

Great show. QOTD I purchased a Barolo The last Barolo episode you did and still have not tried it. It is in my cellar and will hit the glass this weekend for sure. Thanks Gary and WLTV crew.

Definitely have had some Barolo. That last wine looks awefully tempting. In any case this was a great episode. I love it how you describe serious wines w/o being serious. For Halloween you need to break out the Sir Gary outfit.

Have not had the pleasure…yet!

I never had a Barolo…I’ll be looking out for these in the future

Can’t say that I’ve had a Barolo yet…I should really crack open my bottle of Cerotto I’ve got in the cellar…RIGHT. As if I were that big time. Anyway, I’ve enjoyed your two shows this week – it’s good to see you peppy and healthy again. Keep it real.

1998 Roberto Voerzio Barolo Brunate

–Beat that Vayniacs…

Love Barolo, one of my favorite wines. Favorite Barolo is Poderi Aldo Conterno. Wish you had this one.

A Barolo that rocks that is not too expensive: Guido Porro Barolo Vigna Lazzairasco 2001
Has wonderful plum and cherry that lasts for days on the finish.

QOTD: No favorite Barolo for me, although I’ve tried about 8 or so. High single digits. I find them to actually be priced on the high side, but I guess that can still be a value. Just not my kind of value.

Today’s show is classic. You didn’t say anything that will be remembered till the day you die, but this is exactly the kind of episode I would introduce to someone that is into wine, but hasn’t been exposed to WLTV. Your style of delivery today was very accomodating to both the CKC crowd, and people of a more traditional or stereotypical wine background. You weren’t a fruit bomb today (Gary is Sorry.com), nor were you an old world dirt bomb void of any entertaining value. You hit the sweetspot of balance today by not being over the top, and not being a serious Sir Gary kind of guy (I like sir gary but I don’t like the real Sir Garys at every wine tasting).

Don’t get me wrong, I like the outrageous Gary too, but the balanced Gary is my favorite.

QOTD: yes, I have had Barolo, and in a week will be opening a 1998 Batasiolo Vignetto Cerequio single vineyard Barolo. I’m worried it might be too new world in style as I’ve heard about Batasiolo, but we will see!

Yup….had a Barolo….sell Barolo….love Barolo!!! Piedmont is my favorite region…I have been noticing that quite a few vintages have Incorporated a new world side to their flavor profiles…I think there is something more than just hot vintages going on here! My favorite is the 2001 Per Ellen Barolo by Cascina Adelaide (new producer…check them out they are up and coming) the Per Ellen got a 94 in either WS or RP I can’t remember but I know that I gave it a 93 my self….I whole sale it for around 75 a bottle…great stuff…bought a case for my personal use….

QoTD: Nope; I’ve always been too intimidated to spend 40, 50 (or more) bones on a bottle of wine. It’s certainly something I can’t afford to do too often as a GSC’er, and everyone’s told me it’s ill-advised to buy a “low-end” (40, 50USD) barolo rather than a great cab or merlet at the same price, but the Oberto under 40USD and with a pretty great recommendation from GV himself sounds like one I may have to try … when I get my next paycheque … which is probably tomorrow!

Oh, I forgot: I second the motion for Sir Gary to make another appearance :~}

QOTD: Have not had a Barolo yet but it sounds like something I would love based on your description of the flavor profile. Embarrassing side note, had never heard of Barolo wines before this episode, I’m just getting into this whole world. I just ordered my first case from the Wine Lib yesterday (major props and thanks for the shipping deal), and have not reached Italy in my roomates copy of The Wine Bible so the exposure level is low. Thanks for getting us (me especially) stoaked on wine, I may have to seek a bottle of this out when my CKC budget allows.

keep tasting, as I just get started
