Easy Answer and in my Opinion The Best Answer for Thanksgiving Tables with all the Trimmings like Candied Yams etc…I disagree with Sweet Wines like German Rieslings …..I am sticking with the same wine I drink Every Thanksgiving ….A Dry Crisp Rose to cleanse the Palate from All The Cranberry Sauce etc at the Table….. Turkey Flat Vineyards Barossa Valley Australian Rose…and Then you can Drink Turkey And Eat Turkey For Thanksgiving.

I’m having Frank Family Zin on your suggestion!

I’ll be drinking 2003 Monte Antico Toscano

http://www.corkd.com/wine/view/11708-Monte_Antico_Toscano

I will be enjoying a VJB Cellars Proseco to start and their 2005 Mendocino Barbera
for the holiday. On the way up to Sonoma we found a little cheese purveyor- hey we may
just let the turkey go!

QOTD: Uuuuhhhh, I will be drinking the Thanksgiving 4 pack, the day after Thanksgiving, at home, with my wife and friends for the Texas v. Texas A&M game. I will not be taking wine to Turkey Day, primarily because certain members of my family are shameless alcoholics who don’t necessarily like the tasted of wine, yet will “drink” it anyway…and by drink, I mean pour into the largest glass available and chug. No, really. You only make that mistake once. I will let them down their Target box Cube, and $5 jugs of distilled crap. Hey, you can’t pick your family, so just play the hand your dealt. I will probably take along some beers, and watch the drama. It’s honestly better than TV. Oh, and I will sneak a flask of JD over to celebrate the Cowboys 42-14 victory over Your New York Jets. Sometimes whiskey is a really good coping mechanism as well. Going to be a good one. I love the holidays.

Razor sharp like Blanca from Mortal Kombat. That may be one of the best wine-tasting notes ever. HOWEVER, the folks above ARE correct that Blanca was in SF, what they didn’t seem to figure out is that you were still CORRECT, but you were referring to Baraka with the razors. So correction there which does NOT outweigh the brilliance of the comment!

QOTD: Going to figure it out today on the fly with my local wine store. But I’m thinking a Ridge Zin blend and a cru Beaujolais.

QOTD: 1er cru chablis and Alsatian riesling.

PS Jets fans are pervs (hope it’s not you doing it) http://tinyurl.com/2n344y

YOOOO GV!!! 🙂
FANTAAAASTIC EPISODE!! Some Great Wines
dhere in da Hizzy!!!!

QOTD: Probably crack out some o’ me Dehlinger
Pinots and some Zind-Humbrecht Gewurtztraminers!

QOTD-nothing that smells like pickles in a jockstrap!
Coudalet de Beaucastel 2001

QOTD: 2002 Ridge Lytton Springs Zin

QOTD: Frank Family Zin, Gerard Boulay Sancerre Chavignol Monts Damnés, Some bubbly TBD, and possibly a Sauternes, but I might change things up at the last minute.

for thanksgiving we ordered up some:
– Palestra Douro
– The Klinker
– Green Groves Chard
– The Black Chook
and since it sounded so good I just pulled the trigger on 4 bottles of that Triennes.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Gary, Blanka was Street Fighter II — BARAKA was Mortal Kombat 2.

QOTD: I am still undecided…going to my wine shop tonight to pick a few up.

What am I drinking during Thanksgiving? Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider. Yup.

But I’m coming in to pick up some Leocadie Les Clauses, Thom Clark, and the Triennes Saint Auguste. Oh yeah…

Gary are you nuts? Riesling Spätlese with residual sugar for crab cake? Take a Sauvignon Blanc, a Riesling bone dry, a white Burgundy, a Grüner Veltliner, a new world Chardonnay but with low residual sugar level and no/very little oak.

well Valentin if you are having your crabcakes with a (common in the US) Chipotle Pepper creme sauce, then a schpate-laze-uh would be appropriate.

Gary – Great show today.

QOTD: It will be two wines for the main event Thankgiving:

2005 Coume del Mas Collioure Schistes (Episode #352 and awaiting FEDEX now)and 2004 Chiarello Family Vineyards Zinfandel Giana (need an American wine on T-Day!)

Add to this a pre-dinner tasting of the 4 in the Secret Pack with family in NC.

I got two Secret Packs and have tasted the 3 reds. I will be interested as to how my tasting notes compare with yours. Oh, there will probably be an Alsacian Rieslings somewhere over the course of events T-Day

After 2 unsuccessful attempts at picking up the Markham Zinfindel from those lovely PA Wine and Spirits Shops, I’ve decided to go with a Rhone wine from my stash. I’m thinking E. Guigal Cote du Rhone. MMMM…Rhone.

QOTD: I don’t know yet – I haven’t gotten my surprise box from WL yet 🙂

BTW – Blanca was in the Street Fighter series, not Mortal Kombat, but we’ll forgive you Gary.

GAry, thanks for the great show.
QOTD: Von Hovel Oberemmeler Hutte Riesling ’05 and probably
Seghesio Old Vine Zin ’03
Enjoy the day with your family!

The WL surprise pack is on my table this Thursday —- hoping we have a 4 / 4 day!

LOL – Olive Garden – ROLF

QOTD: I’m still trying to decide!
