Fun show, Gary. Still working on the Thanksgiving wine list but here is the first pass.

The headliner will be a 1989 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande that was an anniversary gift last year.

I will also pick a zinfandel out of the cellar since its the only uniquiely American wine.

For whites, we will open a young, modestly priced white burgundy and a German kabinett reisling.

QOTD: Joseph Swan “Lone Redwood Ranch Vineyard” Zinfandel & whatever my in laws have to offer. I’ve got the surprise box but that will have to wait until I get back in town.

You crack me up…great show.
QOTD: McPherson Viognier and 2006 Cline Ancient Vines Zinfandel…already had it bought.

Gary this was a great episode. Those wines sounded good.

QOTD:
-The wines in the thanksgiving pack of course lol

Great show, thanks for all the info! My family put me in charge of the wine this year – I think I’ll go with a zin & a riesling. We’ll see what I can find tomorrow.

91 rioja and 97 alsace gerwurtz

good to see you back with some force and some great wines!!! I love southern france! awesome values
qotd- no idea, im going to be at lake louise with my team on our day off hanging in the hot springs! maybe i will have to go get some LCBO wine and pop it in the spring!

J E T S lets go Jets!

Today I decided to make my appearance in the Cline Zin.

The Oak Monster

QOTD 2006 Peterson Dry Creek Red Zin I have no idea what it will be like

QOTD: A late harvest Pinot Noir from Romania.

QOTD: Prairie Rotie 2005 Backer Vineyards and secret GV Thanksgiving 4 pack on its way…

Great Thxgiving show! Well, us Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving on Oct. 8 (Nov. 22 is already too cold for us :-)). In support to our American neighbors I’ll be popping an Essence riesling qualitatswein Prum Mosel-Saar-Ruwer 2005 (GREAT VALUE, 15$, delicious and slightly sweet; Vayniacs: try this))) and a Pinot noir from New zealand that I am trying for the first time: Pinot noir Sherwood Estate Marlborough 2006. Cheers

Great show again, congrats on the Jets win. The wines sounded very good, I’m going to try to find several of those. I’m still a little scared by the jock strap filled with pickles, though.

QOTD: Probably a Gewurztraminer. No one I’m eating with is much of a wine drinker.

Great episode, GV. I’m looking forward to winning the contest and seeing you in NJ! Don’t worry, the flight from Omaha to Newark is not too expensive.

QOTD: I can tell you what I am bringing for T-day dinner.
1. Dr. Loosen Eroica Riesling from WA
2. Paul Jaboulet Aine Parallele 45 Rose
3. Columbia Crest Grand Estates merlot (because we need the casual drinkers to be distracted while I drink the good sh%t.)
B-727 will have to tell you what else we’re having. That list might look as good as some of these other ones.

QOTD: Whatever my mother-in-law purchased at Total Wine the other day 🙂

Great Episode, I will have to look for those three French wines.
QOTD:
I was just getting the wines out earlier today, were hosting about 20 people many
from out of the State (Washington).
2002 Newton Chardonnay
2002 Ch. St. Jean Reserve Chardonnay
1997 Joseph Phelps Insignia
1999 Quilceda Creek
2000 Quilceda Creek
2000 Leonetti Reserve
2001 Marquis Phillips Integrity

QOTD: I’ll probably be having cranberry and sprite punch with my teetotaler family and I’ll love it!

Lets go JETS maybe they can take a win on Thanksgiving that would make my holiday time pass by better.
QOTD: GV secret pack and 2000 Oberto Barolo Vigneto Albarella

Well Gary, I am having 2 Thanksgivings and I have 2 different wines, and I don’t eat Turkey, but on Thursday I am eating CrabCakes and the 2 wines I have are the 2003 Selvapiana Bucerchiale Chianti Classico Riserva and a 2004 Domaine Jean-Jaques Confuron Cote de Nuits-Villages Les Vignottes (I got as a gift for catching a bird, I know, crazy story). My 2nd Thanksgiving where I’m not drinking turkey, but a bunch of side dishes and something else I’ll have 1 of the other wines. What a confusing dilemna, but oh what amazing wines do I have waiting for me. My parents will be drinking Chardonnay like they always do, but hopefully White Burgundy and not a Oaky mess from somewhere else. I love good Pouilly Fuisse with Crab Cakes though. Yummmmmy!

I feel silly now. :-&
GV, Thanks for airing my question.

QOTD: I’m going with the Frank Family Zin this Thurs. At my office Thanksgiving lunch, I brought in a Blue Fish Riesling (impluse buy from Publix)to go with the turkeys that I fried.

qotd = do not have a clue yet. We are traveling to L.A. and not bringing any food, just wine per my brother’s request (no it has nothing to do with my culinary skills). So what should I bring… The WLTV 4 pack sold out on me so now what? Any suggestions would be great..

I wrote not drinking turkey in my comment, hahahaha wooops… 🙂

Mmmâ?¦face plant wineâ?¦grass and wormsâ?¦who wouldnâ??t want to drink that?!?!?

Congrats on the Jets victory. The Sea-Chickens were able to pull off a victory of their own. And Boise State with one game left is looking to take down this years undefeated WAC team Hawaii for a chance at another BCS birth (small, but thereâ??s a chance)!

QOTD: Iâ??m drinking wine (TBD) with a little bit of beer with a little bit of wine. 😉

good show.

qotd: Since I’m in the mood for merlot now, I am drinking Chateau Puygeraud Cotes de Franc 2003.
