Totally agree about the heat problem, would have had a great cab yesterday if it wasn't for the heat from the 14.9 alcohol completely killing it.

    QOTD: Unfortunately, I don’t have the equipment or know-how to participate on Monday. But, good luck to those who do.

    Glad to see a rose on the program; wife and I really did enjoy the 2006 version of that Turkey Flat.

  • This show is the reason I watch, absorb, and then try new wines. I am a fan of the “soapy soapster” and the esoteric white wines in my “later” years. Diversify is my mantra.

    Glad to hear da Post gave you some kudos. Must be due to my spreading of the thunder down here in DC! 🙂

    QOTD: If I can come up with some novel ideal I’ll do it. Would love to watch the Thunder Show on my big a** screen TV!

    Cheers!

    P.S. Yes, by all means do a SA white wine show.

    Not sure what I’ll be doing, but I’ll be doing something. And I already have an Apple TV, so I will be doing this just to spread the thunder.

    GARY!!
    I do my part to spread the Vayniac Fever!!
    I cut my Offical Vayniac Tshirt suggestively, and prance around the supermarket…(OK, I dont prance…)
    I use catch phrases at work constantly!!! I tell patients that feel like theyre not getting better fast enough, that -“YOU with a little bit of Me are changing the way you’re going to get better!” I attach the printed web address to winelibrary to bottles when I give wine as gifts.. I do my part!!!!!

    I’m a semi-veg, so it’s great to see you doing wine that goes with veg food … although, what you were eating is more spice-driven than what I usually cook … By the end of the ep, I was yearning for some falafel!

  • chenrys

    Reminds me of my vegetarian days back in the 70’s. Still love falafels and humus. Big fan here of Gewurztraminer and Chenin Blanc. Great show.

    QOTD: Could put in on my blog but I haven’t used it much – maybe a good time to start. I’d probably get more exposure telling my art group that meets on Monday to watch. We don’t get finished until late, though.

    So much great wine from Alsace….Zind Humbrecht rocks.

    Probably like most American I associate that rose color with the dreaded white zinfandel….sutter home white zinfandel….yeeesh. Takes me back to my college days in the late 80’s, sorority girls drinking that sutter home in their obnoxiously decorated rooms with the stuffed animals and those ‘husband’ pillows on the beds and UB40 on the CD player. Pink room, pink stuffed animals, pink pillow, pink wine…pink pink pink. I’d put up with pretty much anything to get my end wet. Tough to get that rose association out of my head but I’ll give it a shot with the Turkey Flat.

    Exciting and a really special episode. I am not a vegetarian but we do eat a lot of hummus and falafels around here. It’s the national food. 🙂

    Thanks GV!

    QOTD. Since I don’t do video, it will have to be something bloggy. This will require careful thought.

    Why blogging? ya, ya, web 2.0 is the thing now, but everyone does not blog, right? To be honest, for me, blogging is just that blonde at the party running her mouth…every so often she says something that catches the ear of someone… but OMG it gets old very quick…

    Rant over…
