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).

  • Top 400! lol I don’t know why people think that’s interesting
    QOTD: A little-known fact is that Coach Belichick will have a game plan for *every quarter* of the SB, and the team just has to execute. Like GV, I think the Pats will jump to an early lead. The defense will relax a bit.. the Giants will gain ground. In the 4th quarter there will be some anxious moments (I mean, for Pats fans, LIKE ME), but the Pats always find a way to win. So I’m taking the Pats by 31- 24, something like that. Sorry if that’s a bit long-winded there. I see wristbands.

    I don’t remember ever being so underwhelmed with a Superbowl game as I am for this one. Of course, this is coming from a Broncos fan so I have my own problems. I just don’t care. Gary, I’m sure you concur.

    OK, with all the being said, I guess I am kinda sorta rooting for the Giants. It would be so sweet to knock the Pats and Brady off their pedestal.

  • Hollowleg

    Great show, but I like the option of skipping over some of your tangents (i.e., see Hermitage review).
    I’d like you to review Harlan & Columbia Crest Walter Clore Private Reserve, the ’02 blend of the latter was fantastic.

    I think everyone WANTS the Giants to do well so it isn’t a blowout of a game, but we all know that they are going to get worked. I am picking the Patriots, even though all of the pressure is on them, they are still an outstanding team.

  • pdn

    GV, good show! I’ve been enjoying inexpensive Rhone wines lately, thanks for turning me on to them.

    QOTD Pats all day 27-17!!!!!

  • spyder47

    Good show Gary. It’s fun to splurge and treat yourself once in awhile. Thanks also for the Mott shirts!

    QOTD: I think it will be similar to the last MNF game. With Pat fans ripping out their hair at the end.

    Great episode Gary!!

    Glad to see McPrice Myers wine on the show. I’ve been lucky enough to try all of his wines and they are all outstanding. He is doing an awesome job and the wines really show.

    My next mission is an Hermitage. Yeah that’s a lot of coin, but I am very exicted and the next time I treat myself that will be the wine.

    QOTD: Patriots no doubt

    Yeah, I’m a lurker… So shoot me…

    I love the show! Majorly glad to hear that you’re not ending it… I’ve listened to a LOT of wine podcasts, and I have to say that yours is the by far the most entertaining, and I’ll also say the most inspirational. Your passion for this crazy fermented juice we all drink is amazing and contagious. I wish I had what your were drinking in front if me while I watch everyday. (I live in PA, so I can’t even take advantage of your special shipments… Thanksgiving… Christmas…)

    Jett mentioned the overripe wines, and I agree. It’s a lot like Starbucks coffee. Over-roasting to get a “strong” coffee is really just BURNED coffee. It’s missing the point. Good coffee has flavors and subtlety like good wine. Can be strong or it can be elegant. Coffee from over-roasted beans is like wine from over-ripe grapes. All punch and little subtlety. You either love it, or you hate it.

    Question for G.V. – How do you do that slurpy aeration thing when you taste without spitting wine all over yourself?

    QOTD – My call it that it is probably going to be a HELL of a game. The Pats will probably win, but I always vote for the underdog.

    So, this is why lurkers lurk. We ramble on an on once you get us started…

    QotD: I’m not a sports fan at all. Most sports-related questions will go completely over my head in any discussion. The most I’ll watch is a boxing match or MMA bout whenever it occurs to me to watch.

    I get the gut feeling that many people want the Giants to do well against the Patriots. I also get the hunch that the New England Patriots have been quite indomitable this season, so my prediction is the Patriots by a slight lead. I just don’t think the Giants will go down easily this year. :shrugs:

    Lurker solution!

    Alright, here’s the thing. Of course you know why there are so many lurkers around right? Well I’ll tell you why I am one of that kind. I watch the show through iTunes and whenever you call out lurkers to leave comments, well I’m just too lazy. Open a browser, type in winelibrary.tv, click on the show, put in my name, email… Really?

    The solution: Create an os x widget so I can with a flick of the mouse enter a comment for the latest episode (or other ones with a select box?). So easy… I would comment on every episode.

    Cheers!

    Haha, Mott gets a shirt! That’s awesome. C is clearly the best choice.

    Exciting juice today … almost makes me consider finding a “real job” so I could afford US$110 wine :~}

    About the Butter Bandit: I love him, just not in wine! Croissants? YES! Sauces? YES! Shortbread? YES! Wine? Not so much, especially when he’s rolling with the Oak Monster.

    QoTD: I have absolutely no clue about American football!
