    This weekend me and my sweetie have reservations to have dinner at a small Italian restaurant. Every year they have a res only Valentine’s dinner. It has 5 courses and a different wine w/each. Can’t wait! Imagine having to do 5 sniffy sniffs, and 5 give it a whirls!

    Faugeres, I’ve never had it and I’m a little surprised I have never even heard of it. But now I will be on the look-out to pick up a bottle.
    QOTD: I will be doing a little house work and then I’ll treat myself with a ride on my motorcycle-you gotta love these TX winters!

  • QOTD: Catching up on sleep had a sick two year old this week and of coarse having a little wine.

    QOTD: I’ve never even seen anything from Faugeres.

    What’s up this weekend? I’m going to try to get some work done this weekend. I also went to a new wine shop that was having a tasting–I was not impressed. They seemed to just pick a bunch of wines that they thought would sell for Valentine’s Day, not stuff that they actually thought was good. I also recognized a lot of the wines they had, which was a first. I’m paying more attention to wines that I see in stores and so many people all carry the same thing. Luckily I have the WL just a FexEx package away.

    Hey guys, any chance you could ad a button to the website; something like “Random Episode” – I think that would be a lot of fun!

  • Doug

  • Before answering the question of the day I wanted to give you a huge shout out Gary. Tonight, my friend Cameron and I went out to a wine bar to taste some wines with cheese. The experience was incredible. Through watching your video blog I have really started to pick up some subtleties in wine that I have not noticed before, and in combination with the cheese, the experience was one I will not forget for a very long time. We struggled long and hard trying to discern the texture, the differences between each of the wines we tasted. And I must admit it was challenging, but thoroughly entertaining. Through your show you have sparked a passion under my skin for wine, and I just wanted to give you a huge thanks.

    QOTD:I haven’t had a Faugeres, but look forward to trying it.

    Great show and, no, I have never had a Faugeres – yet. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    QOTD: This weekend my wife and I are just chillin out. We were going to go to a hockey game to see a friend of ours play in his All-Star game, but he got sick and cancelled on us. Bummer. Tomorrow I will be printing out labels to update my wine cellar contents. 1000+ labels will take most of the day. BTW, tonight I grilled some nice BBQ baby back ribs and they came out great. We paired that with the 2003 Ridge Independence School Zinfandel. Nice!

    Liked the wardrobe change for another multiple show taping–missed a button. Martin bobblehead covered it up. Don’t recall having a Faugeres. Definitely will buy a bottle of each and try side by side.
    QOTD: Might make a trip to Wine Library on Sunday–always an event, and will attempt to spend under $200. It’s gonna be tough. So much wine, such a small budget. Have fun in Boston–wish I was there.

  • I have tasted most of the wines from Domaine Leon Barral (made by Didier Barral).
    If any of you wine lovers get the chance to try Barrals white wine (Domaine Leon Barral Blanc, Vin de Pays de lรข??Herault) don’t hesitate. Buy it. It’s remarkable – and very strange.
    Actually, I have never tasted anything like it. It has a profile of a Californien Chardonney whith at hint of Fino Sherry added a little Calvado.

    I blog about wine – but unfortunately for most of you – i danish. Never the less, it’s to be found at: http://www.dotdkay.dk/?p=285

  • Loving the continuing shows. I’d have to say the best thing about WLTV thus far is that it has got me actively seeking out wines that i’ve never tried before weather it be region, varietal or just something unusual of the two. Episodes like this make me very jealous of people who can purchase from WLTV, so much effort to hunt things down.

    Nice episode Gary! I really like when you compare wines that have some common thread, be it vintage, region, varietal, etc.

    QOTD: Chillin’!

  • Plonkdumper

    Got a bottle of 01 Abbaye St Plana Faugeres ‘La Closeraie’ chillin’ in the cave, any thoughts? Ready to pop?

    QOTD: Staying the *%!@ home and drinking! Its -25 degrees (WC) in Chicago y’all!
