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).

    QotD: Giants by 3

    47 yard FG attempt barely squeaking in winning the game in 2nd OT.

    (I think I should get an Apple TV if my scenario actually happens)

  • Matty G.

    Great Show,

    Pats in a rout, I mean not even a competitive game, although I hope I’m wrong. I hope Eli gets humiliated, its the least he deserves for bailing on the Chargers the way he did.

    Loved your explorations today of the pricier wines. . .I get nervous shelling out for anything over 30 (actually, I get nervous over $18, but I can usually hold it in check up to about 25 or 30). Everyone’s pallate is different, but it’s nice to get some idea of what might be in store before investing in the experience of pricier wines.

    Hey – that’s two days in a row with a bad pass at the end. . .hopefully it’s not a trend.

    Looking forward to #4-0-0!!

  • QOTD: Patriots

    I expect a score of 31-3 by halftime. I like the OVER on the final though… Final score 45-31

    Sorry Mott.

    Is there really Gravel in Hermitage? Because I read that the soils are loess, granite and clay based.

    QOTD: Giants hopefully.

  • QOTD: I’m a New Englander, what do you think? I don’t understand all this talk of the Giants winning. I mean, really, there’s no way the Patriots are going to let anyone near this. Of course, being a sports fan in New England we’re all trained to plan on misery.

    Great, great episode. I definitely will join that McPrice list. Thanks for that.

    Great show. Unfortunately I think the patriots are going to win the SB!! Good idea for the Mottser T-shirt

  • I’m rooting for the Giants, but its going to be a tough battle. I’d love to see an underdog victory…

    Hey, here are some great “big boy blends” I’ve had in the past few months that I think are worth mentioning…

    Marietta Angeli Cuvee – Zin, Petite Sirah & carigan
    Cline Cashmere – A GSM that knocks my socks off every time I open it.
    Bogle Phantom – Old Vine Zin, Old Vine Mourvedre and Petit Sirah.

    Keep up the good work,
    THANKS!

  • Gary!! I’m so glad you are staying. I have learned so much from you, keep up the good work!!

    QOTD: Giants
    We have some bottles of Boshe 1997 and last year it looked like they were dead. I had read that sometimes a wine will go into hibernation so we put them aside for a year. We just opened one and the color was fresh and beautiful and it tasted like a youngish wine. So, for whatever reason, we have our Bosche back.
    the Hermitage sounds sumptuous.
    We’re still leaving for Taos although I got sick and won’t be able to taste anything.

  • wrc105

    I am rooting for the Giants…I just dislike NE THAT much. But I think NE will win, 42-24

    BTW, loved you take on the last wine…honesty is the best policy, but tell me how you really feel.

    Congrats on the shirt, Mott! Exciting episode, just wish I could splurge even the once a year to try out that (or any) Hermitage.

    QOTD: I wanted the Chargers X Packers game, I coulda gotten excited for a Diggnation Superbowl. I plan on sitting down for the game with a couple wines I’ve heard nothing of and a handful of friends and enjoying the day my way. No predictions.

    QOTD: In my best Ralph Wiggum voice, “Go Banana!”

  • tuscanbob

    Patsies will win by 17.

    I just discovered the underlying reason why I like this show so much. After all I’ve been through since Superbowl XXV as a Bills fan, watching a Jets fan gives me a tremendous feeling of superiority.

    QOTD – I think the commercials will be more interesting than the game as the Pats have a cake walk.

    I vote for a butter bandit t-shirt ; I think you have at least one possible design emailed to you a few months back
