Been lurking awhile; time to comment! Do you realize that as fast as you talk, your ‘sitcom-length’ episodes contain feature-film amounts of material??? Side question–The Republic of Texas! QOD–none. I’m working on fixing that, however. Thanks for the great episode.

Just ordered five bottles of different 2005 Bordeaux after watching the episode

GV – Good show. QOTD – None, and looking…

qotd went to a 05 bordeaux tasting and I was soo amazed. Currently at about 2 + cases of bordeaux wines.

Damn, GV! I only picked up 3 bottles of ’05. STUPID.STUPID.STUPID!!!

GV- throw out a some names of cheap 05 bordeaux for us cheapo’s. QOTD: we’ve got about 5 cases on futures.

i have had 2 bottles of 05 so far, and both were killer…and lower pedigree…so it is like you say….it seems that almost anyone could have made a good bordeaux in 05

QOTD: 05 Bordeaux is now on my list.

Side question of the day…. Winnipeg, Manitoba. Right in the middle of Canada. I think you’d be surprised that pretty much everyone here drinks wine and beer from all over the world.

PLEAAAASE set up a Winelib in Canada. We need access to some quality Vino for reasonable prices. 😀

Peace,
John

QOTD: I’ve bought a bunch of nearly random 3 bottle sets since I can’t by a lot of different things by the case…

I’ve got a whopping one bottle of Chateau Saransot-Dupre Listrac-Medoc 05… so the craze kinda blew by me. I guess I’m just reluctant to spend comparatively big bucks on wine I haven’t tried and that is young; and then of course there’s the hype which got me suspicious that it might be hard to get good qpr… I’ve been liking 04 Bordeaux for that. As for 05, I guess I’ll just have to trust the judgement of my retailers.

QOTD: Germany represent!

Great episode.

QOTD not positioned well at all still very new to all of this and had not seen all the episodes.

Mini QOTD : Calgary, Alberta Canaga

2005: I think most of Canada will not see a bottle

Hi Gary,

what does it take to be one of your “better customers”? (Check my order history)
QOTD – I have almost six cases on order through the WL futures of 2005 Bordeaux. That is about all that I can afford of a single vintage. The challenge was that 2004 Napa came out at the same time so I had two vintages to chase at once. WL’s pricing protected their customers for the most part, but even WL couldn’t help with the first growth chateau nutty pricing.

SIDE QOTD: YOU SAID IT GARY… PANAMA!!!!

VIVA PANAMA!

QOTD: Tried getting my hands on some 05 bordeauxs from my local wine merchant and friend who has some contacts in france, some barons or somthing, but due to really really high prices and local Panamanian sanitary laws… I got none :(… oh well, ce la vid

qotd – Bought 3 cases of mostly value (under $50/bottle) on futures about a year ago.

By the time I pay for my allocations of wine from Washington and California there isn’t much shelf-space or money left for Bordeaux. My cellar is really under-represented from France and my challenge this year is to sample many more “old world” wines and distinguish some favorite regions.

QOTD: Case and a half of ’05 Futures through WL. Wish I could get more now but my wife might have my head!

my plan this weekend is to go out an get a few bottles of the 2005.. just got a little lucky in my finances. I think this was the episode where you asked where we are from. Tokyo baby!

Im from Denmark!
and im a big fan of your show 🙂

Slacking hard on ’05 Bord although I’ve watched all the episodes several times with plans to purchase that never quite came to fruition… maybe one day… maybe today… Thanks Gary!

Bought 2 cases of Brane Cantenec 05 futures. Loved the 03 and 04

QOTD: I bought about 4 cases I think. 3 bottles each from a bunch of different producers. The first one just arrived last week. Very pumped!

Roll call, big shout out from Roma, Italy, the Eternal Thunder Capital of the world. Just wait until you see how I share the thunder when we hit episode 500!

Norway.
In fact, how about a shout out to Norwegian vayniacs!? Give a thought to those less fortunate who throughout the entire country can only buy wine from a limited selection offered by the state-run wine monopoly outlets..

IN FACT, if you find yourself needing a show idea one day, how one where you see what (if) we have any wine available in common and feature bottles available to us too? (see sad list at http://www.vinmonopolet.no ) -the “poor Norway” show.

OK in the spirit of brotherhood, make the “poor Scandinavia” show and include the Swedes in the same miserable boat (their equally meagre selection at http://www.systembolaget.se)
