OMG! Just had the 04 Delas Herimtage Bessard last night, I have to say that it’s the most balanced and well made wine I’ve ever tasted. The balance is crazy and combined with a ton of subtle lovely nuances it makes it almost worth the price tag ($110 is still quite above my normal range).

    Here’s my prediction…

    Pats – 35
    Giants 24

    GO PATS!!! (However, it would be good to see the G-Men win)

  • MannyPants

    Awesome show GV. You are correct, as much as I hate to admit it, the Pats are going to mop up.

    Hey Gary- Great show. Do you think it was fair tasting the petite syrah after the Hermitage that you were so partial to? I think you should have tasted the Grenache and the Petite Syrah first, saving the Hermitage for last. Seems like after tasting the Hermitage your palette is going to be pretty sensitive to lesser quality wines. I am a big fan of the Hermitage region of the Rhone as well. Great stuff.
    QOTD: From my heart…G-Men’s D-line gets it done. G-31 P-24 Brady gets sacked 4 times!! That would be so awesome.
    Being from upstate N.Y. I am a Giants fan 1st and Jets fan 2nd. Is that weird? I have no hate for the green and white.

  • Thank you gary ! i agree with you 100 % with those hermitage blends syrah plus viognier or others white grape varieties here’s one way to soften concentrated syrah with aromatics viognier to reach elegance… thank you again but here in France the matter is our AOC segmentation and absurdity !!!

    QOTD: Pats 700, Giants 0.

    It’s funny that you seem to NEVER agree with Jay Miller’s assessments. I’d love to see you both go mano e mano on the show – I think he constantly overrates stuff.

    Nice show, GV. Sorry about the stutter… though it did go away once you started drinking wine. Hmmm…

    Hear that, boys ‘n girls? Wine cures stuttering!

    QOTD: I just don’t think Eli has it in him to put another big game up on the board, and I think the Giants are gonna’ get stomped.

    Giants – 13
    Patriots – 41

    QOTD: football?

    i would rather drink the hermitage

  • I don’t even know of the Butter Bandit. And I think that i would spend over $100 for a wine (and $500 for a bag), but here in Canada it would be even more. A lot more.

    QotD: I don’t know anything about American Football really so I don’t even care.

  • don’t button up the shirt, GV! you’re just not a buttoned-up-shirt kind of guy. fab show, you gotta share whatever it was that made you so happy today.

    QOTD: i don’t think i’d know a superbowl prediction if it smacked me in the face…
