QOTD – I’m not ‘waiting’ for anything. Even if a $25-30 wine is a value, it still isn’t cheap, but a mental note has been made!

Geee, my Friend…….. 🙂
You are RIIIIIIGHT-OOOOOON about St. Aubin !!!!!!! On of da BEST CHARDONNAYS i ever drank was a St. Aubin i bought about 18-19 years
ago for somethin’ like 10-12 bones!! It was unbelieveably DEEEEEEE-
LIIIIICIOUS!!!!! Went back to dat store & bought da remaining stock
of dat Wine (unfortunately only about 4 bottles left). We savored
Every Sip of those 4 Bottles……… Unfortunately, i never did see
dat Wine again. Those Vino Ya got there got me salivatin’………

Try to think with me for a moment out of the box 😉

On today’s show, specially in the last bottle, you seemed so impressed, you said words like “very pretty”, “brilliant fruit”, “gourgeousness”, “so on the nose”, “stablishes an interesting wine level”,”great acidity”, “very funky”, “the greatest fish and wine…”, “i’m so excited”, etc.
but you scored only 93+… haven’t you been to though with your on pal? I believe you will never find a 100pts wine if you don’t accept that perfection is not a point to reach, but a road to travel through…

I mean, if you relly like a wine like these why not scoring them higher notes? Getting to a 100… break free!!! spread the thunder!!!

Istead of stablishing a note, try to use stars or glasses in a 1-to-5 scale, like Gambero Rosso. Maybe you can do that just for a change… for fun at least.

Either way, I score based on my own palate and taste. I like you and the show and keep on with the good work.

Can’t say I have a had a St. Aubin recently but it is and will be tasted very soon. I still can’t understand why people can’t justify spending that much on a white but a red is no problem. Weird.

Methinks you need some aloe vera lotion for winter dry skin!!! Were you scratching your tummy and forgot to button up also?!?!?!

QOTD:No white burgundy yet but I will seek it out, thanks.

Attack of the poison oak monster…..LOL i’m dying laughing. Looks like Mott roughed you up….or something’s goin on under your little drinking table? Link it up!!!

QOTD: I’ve had the Vincent Girardin in a couple of vintages, as well as a dozen other St. Aubins. I have to agree, there is some great quality and incredible value in these wines.

I’ve tried Pacalets Saint-Aubin, and the wine was brilliant.

It always kills me though, to see the wine library prices! I know you are a big store, so you buy bigger amount, and thus get better prices. But i think that because of your huge sales, you profit less from each bottle sold, than your average retailer. Now link that with the low low value of the dollar, and us europeans just wanna jump on the queen mary and bring it all back home!

was the unbuttoned shirt a joke or something? lol

great show; some of my personal favorite wines from my favorite area!
have hat St. Aubin; good stuff always!
rock on old world wines! now just wish the dollar was stronger……….

I have tried them. Not a big Chard fan as a rule, but found it to have some nice minerality to it. Another great under the readar Burgundy area for reds (Pinot) is Auxey-Duresses. Some real bargains in premier cru there as well.

Hey Gary, great show. Way to bring it by having another new area (for me at least) with some rockin’ good wine!

QOTD- I shouldn’t be…

QOTD: I’ll definitely check out St. Aubin although I haven’t seen it on the shelves here locally. What’s up with all that scratching?

QOTD – I haven’t drank one yet but I have a St. Aubin in the cellar, Château Philippe-le-Hardi En Vesvau 2005 (from Chateau de Santenay). Was planning on holding onto it maybe for another year.

Great episode…thanks for telling us the secret..Never had a St Aubin..going to give it a try.
QOTD: I guess I will have to wait for you to get some more in…sold out 🙁

Gary, if I was “just hanging with Mott” I think the wine would be all the more special. You’ve got great people working for you!

QOTD: I’m waiting till I can get to the store and pick me up a bottle of St. Aubin! Thanks to you, I tried my first Meursault last week. Thanks for helping me learn about cool wine places!

Jeeeze the descriptions are making my mouth water. Looks like it might be time to break open the piggy bank and try some higher priced wines.

Grapefully,

I’ve never had a St. Aubin but now I’ll be on the look out.

QOTD; It’s money… Just the money…

Nice show Gary.

QOTD: The only thing holding me back, prior to the show, was ignorance of the region. Thanks, AGAIN, for dropping knowledge on the net and helping to expand my wine horizons.

IT MAKES ME SO MAD BY THE TIME I WATCH THE SHOW THE NEXT DAY THE WINES ARE SOLD OUT!!!!!

Gary-Are you back in NJ yet????????????????????? 🙂

Mott-Have you seen Gary??????? 🙂
