Nice. Love the head-to-heads.

QOTD: This weekend? Cheap white wines. I tend to ignore the bottom of the price barrel, so I’m takin’ a spin through a few to see if I can find anything. Which I have. Barefoot Pinot Gris – lemon, grapefruit, and fuzzy peach-fest with a solid mouthfeel for $7.50 CDN, which means you can buy it in the US for $0.25 USD, of course.

Hopefully will be imbibing wines from my four pack over the weekend 🙂

LOL great episode Gary and it’s always great to see the Mott’ster!

QOTD: Since today’s match-up was Syrah, I’m going to continue that into the weekend with – 2005 Alban “Reva” Syrah and 2004 Palm Cellars “Judys”

Nice episode…I love the Château Puech-Haut…the 1998 was fantastic.

Tonight it will be Meursault Comtes Lafon 2004 and probably a pinot noir after but wich one…don’t know yet.

QOTD: Blackbox Syrah 2005 Paso Robles(boxed). I’m going snowboarding and taking the box up for everyone(who don’t know wine) and myself. I’m staying away from grandma and her ice cold cheap Chardonnay 8p

Hey, what about another boxed wine episode. They are perfect for get together and parties which there are a lot coming with spring/summer coming. Gary, thanks for the shows, keep bringing the thunder!

QOTD: I’ll be going to a 25 winery, tasting event, here in Santa Barbara!

About a month ago, I got to enjoy a Craggy Range, Te Kahu, Gimblett Gravels Vineyard, 2005 and was really blown away by it. I’ll have to pick this one up as well!

Great show today. Craggy Range Le Sol is one of my all-time favorite wines EVER. Can’t thank you enough for putting it on the Thunder Show today and, I agree, it’s a tad expensive (most folks sell it for $65 or more — I’ve seen it for $130 on a restaurant list!). However, while on the palate there are definitely wines that deliver just as much for half the price, I’ve never had a wine with the aromas this one has. That’s what makes this wine worth it to me (even if I’d have to cash in some stock or something to be able to afford a case). Also has some chocolate flavors that everyone I’ve introduced this wine to has loved.

I agree with Edward: Black… Pepper… RULES. Does anyone know of other black-pepper-aroma wines? I love, love, love ’em. Like in a “love to see cracked-out photos of Britney Spears on the internet” sort of way. Just can’t get enough.

I found 2 bottles of yesterday’s pinot from a Maine wine store and I snagged both of them up.

I have no wrist bands but I just put in for one.

QOTD

doing a bit of pinot noir this weekend.

Awesome episode! Going to venture and find more whites.

QOTD- Grilled steak with a Sevona Cab from Paso Robles.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Cool show love the couch and getting Mott involved.

QOTD: Don’t know I think I will have the wife make the pick.

QOTD: Probably going to open the 2004 Nickel & Nickel Cab

I only have wristband #2

Ok, time to leave lurkerland!

Great show (as always), the matchups are a screaming good idea (please! do some more!), wltv rocks!

QOTD: got the flu, can’t even distinguish wine from chicken soup right now… otherwise, probably the Torremoron Ribera del Duero 2006.

Big “Thank You!” from germany for changing (my) wineworld!

I’ve decided to stop lurking about.

QOTD: I picked up two bottles to try over the weekend the 2005 Chat-en-Oeuf from the Côtes Du Ventoux, and the 2006 Estampa Malbec/Petite Sirah from The Colchagua Valley, Chili

I’m feeling lucky, and proud, to be in the club as an owner of all 3 wristbands! Unfortunately, that alone is not reason enough for celebration (sorry Gary) so I’m not planning to open any special bottles this weekend. I will take a peak in the basement and grab whatever looks like it will be “fun.”

Another great show – I just tracked down the Pinot from yesterday and looking forward to it arriving.

I will be enjoying a couple of wines that just arrived from the Wine Library along with my first wristband.

QOTD: Domaine Léon Barral, Cuvée Jadis, AOC Faugères, 2002.

Do you realise how uncomfortable I felt after you poured that whole bottle into the glass. So glad you funnelled the rest back! I was glad you said Horse……Radish for the smell, my mind started wandering!!

..and then you said Pig Manure!

Great show.

QOTD – Visiting friends, so taking the d’Arenberg The Hermit Crab 2005, a 1998 Ribera del Duero Reserva (Tamaral) and maybe my Insignum 2001 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese.

I love Mott!!

QOTD: I’m drinking Conde de Valdemar, Rioja blanco 100%Viura as i’m writing to start my weekend! Oak Monster has joined me here – at least i’m not drinking on my own!!!

QOTD… I don’t have a plan yet going shopping tonight.
