Yes a couple from Amador Co. CA. and I liked them I guess I need to try some Italian Barberas as well.

Great energy today Gary, I LOVE IT!!! YAA BOOOYYY!!

QOTD: I have never had Barbera..but I am going to pick up a few bottles, you can count on that!!

Thanks Gary!!

Wow Gary, you were really on a roll today! I love Barbera, thanks for putting it back on my radar screen, it’s been gone too long.

Wow, can’t remember the last time you liked every wine in the episode. Nice!

QOTD: Never had a Barbera. I’ve been waiting for someone to yell and scream at me to try one…it’s just never happened.

LOVED the show!!! It’s the best feeling when you pop open the bottle and fall in love with the wine!!!1 Just popped one open here at work and indulging in a bottle of Syrah!!!

QOTD-hell yes…who hasn’t!

QOTD: Hm. Can’t say I have? Definitely on my radar now – thanks yet again Gary.

These sound great I am going to pick up some this weekend and give it a try

I love Barbera and the Piedmont. So many great wines.

Thanks for the episode Gary. Unfortunately, the Massolino sold out in three seconds flat, but I did get my hands on a few bottles of the other two.

QOTD: Yes, I’ve had Barbera D’Alba a few times at enotecas in the city, but most were not that great in my opinion. Looking forward to trying these out!

I love Italian wines. Great ep!

QOTD: Are you kidding me? Take a look at my wine cellar. Those wines to the left of the long-term agers are over half barbera.

Ciao

Loving the Barbera, just ordered the Massolino I’m excited to try it.
QOTD No, ihavent yet, but i will be soon enough can’t wait havent seen you this psyched up in a while!

QOTD: p1) so far, the Barbera d’Asti by Vietti is one of my faves – Vietti also makes a nice Arneis.
p2) still waiting on you to ship to Washington. . . what is up with that?? show some love! You must think we are spoiled by our connection to Walla Walla, and therefore refuse to spoil us more. hmmph

Hey Gary,
Discovered your show last week. Been lurking since then, told a couple of friends to check you out. I’m addicted.
Anyway, Barbera! Yes. California State University Fresno has an Enology department that has been producing it’s own wines and most are fantastic. Even their $4 Tailgate Red is tasty on a weeknight. Seems like every year though, their Barbera is winning awards all over the state, so I’ve been drinking theirs, but now I’ll have to branch out to some of these. Hey how about a whole show on Fresno State? Check them out! http://www.fresnostatewinery.com

Now Gary, how do you REALLY feel about the Massolino? No holding back now. qotd-yes

There isn’t a red wine from that part of Italy I haven’t enjoyed… barbera, dolcetto, nebbiolo, barolo.. Gary’s right… they’re all magnificent! I’ve been to Alba a couple of times while I was in college, I tried to bring home as many of these bottles as possible while managing to fit my clothes and books in my luggage. They are too good! Man I’m so glad to see these wines on your show!

Gary, Oh boy you were en fuego today. Great show.

QOTD: Yes, I have had a couple Barberas, but only from CA. I need to try some from their native land of the World Cup champs. Viva Italia!!! I am waiting for my girlfriend to get out of the shower so I can go eat some lunch. I am so hungry I am about to eat my arm.

Thanks GV!!

Dammit Gary!! Where’s the Michigan wines you mentioned on Monday? I’d better not be let down tomorrow…

QOTD: I’ve had a number of Barbera bottles before….though I can’t remember whether I’ve ever had any d’Alba bottles.

I know I’ve had plenty Barbera d’Asti before, though. Mixed results, but mostly decent in my experience.

QOTD: YESSSSS!! And love it!

QOTD Part II: Waiting for my rehearsal to end so that I can have some wine!!!
