qotd: U.S. wine laws, I can't figure out what the hell is wrong with the legislator's when it comes to shipping, especially in the 13 states where it's completely prohibited. Although one problem I saw in MD when I testified this past year before the sub-committee was that some representatives literally slept during the hearing right in front of people, while others would use their cell phone or get up and just walk out of the room missing entire testimonies!

Great episode Gary!
I'm always amused when I tell someone or hear someone find out there's some white wines out there that will age 100+ years, and they show disbelief.
I've had Cotes Du Rhone reds, white, and rose.
I've had Venge's Scouts Honor before, I had to bring it in to taste when I saw it was a blend of petite sirah, charbono, and zin. A good wine but a little overpriced I thought. I'd love to see a petite sirah, charbono, petite verdot blend.

    QOTD: Some of the aromas and tastes are confusing. There are many I have never experienced, so its hard to to take some tasting notes and translate them into something I know and understand. But, I’m getting there. I had a Pinot this weekend that reminded me of wet cement and dirt.

  • Nice ep Gary,

    Palmina is a good producer of Italian varieties out of Santa Barbara County.

    The article reports on a study conducted at CalTech. I contacted the researchers and obtained a copy of the article and their raw data.
    I am awaiting the permission to publish excerpts, but the article was conducted by business and marketing academics. Their conclusions in part say that participants were suggested to think or expect the ‘more expensive’ wines were more pleasurable. The study used functional brain imaging and demonstrated that the parts of the brain involved with emotion were affected but not the parts that actually register the wine’s sensory components. They concluded that what can be thought of as ‘enjoyment’ is a composite of registering objective information and some sort of, more cognitive and conscious element which modulates the significance of the objective data and allows us to conclude whether (or how much) we enjoy the wine.

  • QOTD – The most confusing thing to me about wine is the entry prices of some new wineries with no proven track record. I love the explaination from a winery owner (usually not the winemaker) that they tasted their first release against what was on the shelf and it compared to a (insert whatever region) $50 wine. Does that mean that next year if the wine isn’t as good you are going to sell it for $9 because it compares with a bottle of Columbia Crest Two Vines. I think not.

    Yet people eat it up – That confuses me!

    QOTD: Being able to identify the flavors in wine. My palate just seems to be dull to some of the taste and flavors I hear about though I can usually identify at least one.

  • So what was that black screen section in the middle of today’s show? …and as for that article link (thanks Mott!)do people really trick themselves into believing something they got ripped off on from a wine boutique actually tastes better than the bargain from the local supermarket?

    An Anti-Pazzzzzzz? Not had a CdR Blanc, but have a tasty looking CNdP Blanc in the cellar waiting for an opportune moment to pop.

    QOTD – Burgundy. I reckon I’m ahead of the curve on most things wine-related, but I still don’t get Burgundy……or California 🙂

  • Spyder47

    I don’t have any negative notions about white wine … I just prefer red wine. I do open the occasional white and enjoy the exotic fruit aromas of many, but 95 times out of 100, I would rather drink a red.

    QOTD: Not really confused, but definitely overwhelmed by the sheer number of different brands / types of wine currently being made. I’m reminded of the grocery store scene in the movie ‘Moscow on the Hudson’ when Robin Williams tries to buy some coffee …

    QOTD: nailing down all the sub-apps around the world. Its hard enough to taste regions, let alone sub regions.

  • ceewats

    How the blending of just a small amount of one grape can change the wine completely and I’ll either enjoy it more less or not at all..

  • Taylor

    Another great show would love to try a white cotes du rhone
    QOTD Why some wine that really isn’t too good can be priced so much higher than decent to good bottle and no one seems to feel bad about ripping you off
