QOTD: 76 bottles on futures – can’t wait for June 2008!

QOTD: 9+ cases.

Good job calling that 2005 Bordeaux vintage! I can’t wait to get my hands on some..somehow..soon!

Great show, Homer had nothing on you.
QOTD- 2005 Bordeaux DOH!!!! I don’t have any. Acutally when you were saying buy on futures I was pretty new to the idea and didn’t feel comfortable buying wine on futures,I am more comfortable in the wine world now( thanks to the The Thunder show). I bought the Vayniac Cab before the grapes were even picked.

Other QOTD- Born in Canada, came to the States when I was seven

My modest collection is still fairly new and growing, but 2005 bordeaux is probably my biggest position at 38 bottles. Usually 3 of this, 3 of that, 1 of this, 2 of that, 3 of this… Maybe some I should have bought by the case, but who knows.

qotd: i think i got about 2 cases of the 2005 brdx ordered, which is something i NEVER do. Way too broke. But i trusted my buddy gary and am really excited i did. can’t wait to get those babies. (although probably should just sit on em for at least 10 years, right?)

Mr. Exclusive! Big time on the Secret.

QOTD: Cali Pinots are stealing my money right now, but i know I need to change focus. Okay on the 05′ Burgundy front though.

Gary,

I have 2 cases coming, one the Valrose thanks to you so I guess I am anxiously anticipaing the arrival of the juice!!

Bought Some 2005 Futures From You like Chateau Sansonnet…Can’t wait to get it. Also picked up The Winemakers Cuvee 2005 Bordeaux where Michel Rolland is the Winemaker on this years venture.

WELCOME BACK

Watching for Montréal, Québec… Gary, you said a while back that you killed it at the Casino here… when are you coming back to try your luck next?! Hit us up in March for the wine expo!

No ’05 Bordeaux yet… tempted by the Valrose futures, though

Nice show. Def will search out for some 05 bordeaux.

calgary alberta, canada.

thx gary!

I’m Canadian, but I live in the US.

QOTD: Not at all, I’ve been concentrating my buying in other regions for the last 2 years. I will buy 2005s, but I will likely just cherry pick in the Cru Bourgeois.

qotd: I’m from the USA, but I live in South Korea. I got my girlfriend hooked on the show and she’s Korean, so maybe that counts? hehe

QOTD: I have one bottle – 2005 Chateau Les Arromans, red. It was ten bucks!

Now I’m definitely gonna grab several more bottles and put them away!

Great episode! I am heading to the Knicks game that you were supposed to be at 😉 next time bro!
When are you coming up to visit the fans in Canada????
QOTD – Here is my list
1 mag of Leoville Las Cases
2 mags of Pontet Canet
4 bottles of Pontet Canet
3 bottles of Lascombes
6 bottles of Malescot
6 bottles of Malmaison
12 bottles of Puygeraud
6 bottles of de Chantegrive
3 1/2 bottles of Doisey Daene

Subquestion: Like Mork, I am also from Ork.

2005 Bordeaux, NOT. The pricing is NUTZ and I am not interested at all in crazy pricing, because, let’s face it, tomorrow it’s (all wine) all just piss.

I will purchase my ’05’s at a Bordeaux wine tasting and release party in Vancouver,Canada. I am planning to stock up and go into debt if needed.

Canada Vayniacs Rock!

QOTD : I think I’ll have to pass on Bordeaux 2005, for financial reasons…

I love White Bordeauxs!!!! And you can find some cheaper whites from Bordeaux out there- I like the 2004 Chateau Fort de Roquetaillade and I absolutely loved the 2006 Chateau Ducasse Blanc (both were only $15)! Yummy stuff.

QOTD: I now have two ’05 Bordeauxs. One from Margaux which has a note on it saying “Don’t drink! Let it be for at least 10 years!” and now a bottle of the Secrets de Cardinale. This is because I roll as a CKC and because I don’t have a cellar. But I can’t wait till I have a cellar (and hopefully the dinero to back me up) and then I can buy as much wine as I want. 🙂

Interesting Bordeaux story. I bought about 4 cases of Bordeaux futures, locally in DC, in Spring of 2006 as they began to rave about them. Shortly after that, I began to watch an occasional WLTV episode. About September of 2006, I became a regular WLTV viewer and heard the admonitions to buy 2005. That Xmas, I received a couple of Border’s Books gift certificates. Right after Xmas, I stopped at Border’s to buy myself a nice cookbook. But, instead, I saw The Southeby’s Wine Encyclopedia 4th Edition. Armed with that book and the information that it provided, I started buying 2005 Bordeaux futures. After the first couple of additional cases of Saint Emilion and a few left-banks, I thought that I was set. Then, based on the white Graves some friends and I used to drink 30 years ago and the memories it invoked, I bought some Carbonnieux Blanc. Pretty soon, I was convincing myself to buy 6 bottles of this and 3 or 6 bottles of that on a regular basis. I even splurged on a few Angelus and Cos D’estournels–I expect to sell most of those unless my palate becomes more discerning over time (I hope). Again, I thought that I was done. Over time the hype continued, and I continued buying. I even bought another case of Sauternes recently. When I was all done (and I’m pretty sure I’m done now), the damage was 35 cases and untold 1,000’s of dollars. My rationale for this extravagance was that this is a once in a lifetime event and it’s wine that I’ll have and enjoy for the rest of my life. The problem now is where to put it all.

QOTD: Better positioned in older Bordeaux. Not much ’05. Will buy the sea of the lower level stuff when it comes in. Can’t wait 20-30 years to drink it because I may not get to it. Don’t intend to leave a cellar to my offspring.

Had the chance to invest in some ’05 about a year or so ago but unfortunatly had zero cash.
Still broke but will ask some friendly wine merchants if they have any bottles lying around they are willing to part with without too much of a mark up.
Will play the “I am young in the wine trade and did not know” card. Hope it works.

Oh yeah, am from Manchester in the UK but now live in Chester
