I don’t recall. I’m looking forward to trying the first one… the (ahem)2004 Domaine Le Galatin Bandol.

Comin’ out of the closet. Have never tried a Bandol, but g*damnit, it is on my list now. Gonna surprise by bro-in-law.

I’ve never had a Bandol, but I’ll seek it out soon.

Radool show my friend!

QOTD: I have had Domaine Tempier normale and rose’ they were both memorable wines. However my prefrence was for the rose…

As I said yesterday, lurk no more.
QOTD: I have never had one that I can recall. I certainly knew the name, but it still surprises me that after so many years of drinking wine I “new” things that I can’t remember trying. It’s usually France and Italy that still surprise me.

QotD: I have not had a Bandol… but I haven’t had a lot of wines so it’ll go on the list.

Radool, Gary.

QOTD: I have had Banyuls (which you should do someday) but never a Bandol.

I had the 2002 Chateau de Pibarnon yesterday and today, what a coincidence!
I have a few in my cellar so this one was to get the temperature of the ageing process.
I really hope that this wine will evolve because it was rather thin stuff indeed. Not even harsch tannins! Quite a dissapointment.
I also had a La bastide blance two weeks ago which was absolutely stunning.

QOTD: No Bandol…. and because no shipping to WI, probably won’t try,,, because you see I’m an emotional buyer,,, I see/hear about something, and click and order… ah, life was so much easier w/shipping to WI… alas, at least my local wine provider is happy with me,, I’ve been buying my ass off on another B wine,, Barolo!!! the new love of my life. Just had to share that. GO PACK!!!

Big G, This is why I love WLTV. New Wines to get all excited about. Thanks for bringing the Thunder yet again.

QOTD: Nope, I will now.

QOTD: No Bandol for me…but will look for it at my wine monger’s shop this weekend!

QOTD: I have not had a Bandol I am sorry to say.

I think the Galantin was written up as a smart buy in Wine Spectator a while back. I’m not going to lie to the Vaynernation, nooooooooooooooooo, not little ol me, I have never had a Bandol, but if I saw a bottle on the shelf, I’d give it a try – EPHhhhhhhhhhhh.

Regarding the lurkers, c’mon, leave a message. Don’t be shy – no one will rat you out. Plus if you’re funny and a newbie Gary will often email you when he’s on the crapper. I’m neiher new or funny enough, but it did happen aaaaaaaaaaaand it could happen to you too!

lurk lurk lurk….

lurk lurk lurk….

QOTD: Never heard of Bandol, but those are my favorite wines to seek out! Thanks for always bringing new varietals to the table, Gary! That’s what makes wine and WLTV so much fun. And also thanks for trying to include various price points; I’m glad that the Galatin is under $20 but I can totally check it out!

Gary- I have never tried any of these Bandol’s………will try asap!!! Thanks!! 🙂

QOTD– No Bandol G — Will seek one out dude … sounds like good juice . Keep it real in Cali

Nope…..never tried a wine from Bandol but will in the very near future. Nice episode, not too long and very informative.

QOTD: Nope. Never even heard of it.

Been drinking some serious wine today Gary? You’ve got more Mad Dog then usual. Ya know, Mad Dog, MD 20/20, “Bum wine”….the Purple Teeth. No? Anybody? Well, I think it’s funny. I have a friend that has been labeled Mad Dog for 7 Years, for getting sick on red wine and staining his teeth, half his face, and his bed sheets purple. Gross.
