qotd no idea

Loved hearing about the Matassa, gonna have to seek it out now.
I'm also a huge advocate of decanting white wine, definitely one of the top misconceptions I see w some wine drinkers along w confusing fruit w residual sugar, serving temperatures, and smelling the cork to inspect a wine's quality.

    Great show Gary. Never really tried white wines with stake, but I think I will try some out.
    New years I will have a bottle of 2001 Allegrini Amarone, and a 2003 Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon Cinq Cepages. I have been wanting to try these two for a while now.
    Happy New Years.

    Awesome episode GV! And who’s house was that? They had a bottle of Boxhead wine open- nice choice.

    QOTD: Not sure yet, but I think you already asked this question.

    QOTD: I looked up the show on Growers’ Champagne. Sounds great. Albuquerque’s not a very good place for off the beaten track products, but we’ll keep an eye open. We’ll probably have Taittinger, La Francaise. There will almost certainly be champagne left over and I will have mimosas in the morning.

    NYE will be just me, my girlfriend, a cabin and some good rose bubbly. Not sure which yet but I will look outside of the established houses. Thanks for a great year of viewing Gary. 365 more episodes to come I hope!

  • wwave

    Yes, Gary, there will certainly be some Grower Champagne consumed. Possibilities are Gatinois Cuvee Tradition, for the second year in a row, Michel-Arnould Grand Cuvee, and possibly Agrapart Blanc de Blanc ‘Mineral’ 2000. But I might just have to hold on to that one a little while longer. What’s your line-up?

  • Seo Salimi

    QOTD: Going to be out at a night club, so probably liquor and champagne of some sort. But if I had my choice and could pull something from the cellar, it would be an isosceles or duckhorn howell mountain., no bubbly in my cellar…

  • LB in KS

    What?! No Cat-soup to go with your steak? Shocker! I kid.
    QOTD…what do you suggest?

  • italianwinelover

    Good ep….totally a home feel although I don’t think that was your home it still felt like we were very welcomed!!

    QOTD: Well although I’m trying to find a bottle of Pierre Peter – right now the group has a magnum of White Star & Veuve Cliquot. I’m willing to try some of the growers and to turn them on to them – please don’t be upset but it takes time to turn the tried and true around and I will continue to work on it through your suggestions. I won’t give up!!

    Its been a great year with you GV thanks for all your insights and teaching me to trust my tastes! Look forward to the next 365 – oh wait its a leap year!!! Bubbles to 2008!!

  • Robert

    QOTD: It depends on what I’m doing. If i’m with my parents, its whatever they have on hand, mostly white zinfadel. (sorry about the spelling)
    I would prefer a solid malbec though.
