QOTD- Not too sure what I will be drinking on New Years. If I do toast with some sparkling it will most likely be prosecco so my friends can enjoy it as well. More importantly Gary, what will you be drinking on new years?
Cheers
Aaron

QOTD: Lucien Albrecht Cremant d’Alsace Brut Rose to start the day…and…later on…Ramos Gin Fizz (my own recipe – yum!) Happy New Year to the entire Vaynerchuk family!

QOD Duval Leroy NV Brut and Domaine Carneros Brut Rose

Fun episode…really interesting to see the white wine on there.
QotD – I’ll probably crack some sort of sparkling…probably the NV Nicholas Feiullette Brut, but maybe the Aria Cava.
What are you doing to be cracking?

Whaaaaz Zuuuuuuup, Geee ?!!!!
Dat Steak suuuure looked gooood!!!

QOTD: i DO have some “grower Champagne” stached away. Now if i
can only figure out where i put it !?! 🙂

A similar unique white that I like with savory foods or steak is Lopez Heredia Gravonia Rioja.

Not sure what I’ll be serving, I’ve got some older Mumm Carte Blanche Extra Dry and several Piper Heidsiecks that I should pull out.

I can’t watch Gary eat steak – especially when my wife cooked chicken. Too cruel.

QOTD: I live in (yells like Sam Kinison) Indiana — aaaah! aaaah! aaaaaah!

So the best I can get is, like, a Schramsberg blankety blank. May as well get a Korbel and pour a dash or two of pomegranate juice in it.

Yeah, where was this episode taped? It seems to be a typical blue collar NJ neighborhood that is currently the home-buying choice of white collar middle income subalterns who don’t like the McMansion aesthetic. Despite the class differences created by this and the low-level discomfort everyone suffers due to the sometimes intangible and other times shockingly obvious imbalances in cultural capital and/or actual material wealth, everyone is decent to each other. I think the indoor space is most likely someone’s Cold War era post-nuke bunker now converted into an imagined post-apocalyptic hedonistic love nest, the ultimate place to be left behind.

I am totally going to drink a growers Champagne because I love the whole idea of it, thanks to GV. I’ve been selling pints of my blood for the past few weeks so I should be able to get a decent bottle and then I’ll let some snot crust up on my three year old son’s cheeks and upper lip, teach him a jaunty, crowd-congealing jig and take to the streets to panhandle for some oysters.

This was by far the best episode of wine library TV I have ever seen…. Winner!!!!!!

seriously though, would love to pop open the Silver Oak, but will be waiting a little longer on that one…. Probably drinking the Domaine Carneros Le Reve

Happy New Years to everyone!

two hands bella’s garden 2004 shiraz….hmmmm. nice show, at mott’s house?? very nice.

QOTD: Grower champagne
Not really…don’t know much about champagne except that the last time I had some bubbly (approx 10 years ago) it went straight to my head, grabbed a hold and wouldn’t let me go! Tiny bubbles not nice.

Nice ep, even though I could really use 6 liters of wine to get me through the rest of vacation…maybe next time.

QOTD: What am I NOT drinking! Seriously, leave “amateur night” (as we like to call New Year’s eve)to the amateurs. We’ll be craking open a nice bottle of port from Chateau Julien, in Carmel, CA. Cheers Everyone!!

QOTD: New Years will be a few aged Sauternes, some aged Riesling and of course, some bubbly. Cheers!!

QOTD: Fleury Carte Rouge, Havens 03 Hudson Syrah

Great show….I had forgotten about the Silver Oak giveaway…great to see you do a small sit down at the homey-home.

QOTD: I plan on drinking beer for the new year….I already had a gathering in Napa where we popped a 1970 DRC magnum, a vertical of Adastra Pinot, 96 Puligny-Montrachet, 95 Prado Enea, 66 Grams port, and other fun wines…so this New years it’s beer with an old Army buddy. Have a great holiday

quotd: Cold water–I need to abstain after Xmas.

Hope you and your hada great Holiday Season.
QOTD: Hard to say just yet but I am going to have a tasting on Sunday “Napa Cabs from 2002” Time to see how the vintage is doing. 🙂

QOTD: I’m watching this on the 27th and I’m actually starting to get a nasty head cold. I might be out of commission this New Year’s. 🙁

QOTD

Not sure yet, maybe an agrapart NV blanc de blancs terroirs, or a drappier zero dosage 100% pinot noir, or maybe I can convince my wife to let me buy something new…

I appreciate the review of the Matassa. I am definitely interested in trying that type of wine. I only recently tried Viognier and more recently noticed a viognier/muscat blend in the store. I will go back for it. As for what I am drinking on New Year’s Eve, I had not thought about it, but now I want to try some Grower’s Champagne. Thank you for tonight’s show!

QOTD: We’re rollin’ college style with Barefoot bubbly.

QOTD: I’m going to a multi-course dinner so we’ll be drinking a whole host of wines but my recent find and an excellent QPR is the Lucien Albrecht Cremant dâ??Alsace Brut! Killer great bubbly for $15 bones.
