Gary….I don’t have all three wrist bands. I’m hoping I can fix that eventually…but for now I’ve just got the initial one. As for a Syrah that has OBVIOUS black pepper and is more affordable. Try 2004 Cristom “estate” Syrah from Oregon. It should be around $30.

QOTD: I’m not sure…but I’m going to pop something when I get home tonight. It’s been a long day. Maybe I’ll pop another 02 Burgundy…or maybe a rose. We are due to get a big storm tonight…so I’m staying in one I’m outta work at midnight.

I’m drinking Black bart Syrah…thanks to you know who.

I unfortunately don not have all three as on my last order of a case on the free shipping, they FORGOT to send me my free wristbands. And PROMISED to call me back and NEVER did….. So, I only have ONE type.

So, if anyone is listening, I need my NEW ones I was dissed on, and a black one as well.

🙂

Fun show, I love Mott! Always nice to see him on the show. Really interesting match-up since New Zealand is one of the last places I would think of for Syrah. Australia, Cali, and even South America all seem more obvious. But that is why we love you. Always bringing things to our attention. I wish I had all three wrist bands. Just got my first this past week actually, don;t worry I will send you a pic soon!

QOTD: Drinking some organic/biodynamic wine on Sat, and hopefully one/two of the wines I ordered from you guys. Really excited to try some Bordeaux Blanc!

QOTD: Not sure what I am drinking this weekend…I’ll figure it out!

QOTD: Between my wife and I (plus guests), we go through about 20 bottles of wine a month. I’ve recently started buying a case of a single wine and experimenting/collecting the other eight or so. The Case of the Month for February is the D’arenberg D’arry’s Original Shiraz/ Grenache 2005 purchased at WL. A very nice wine which, for the price, would be tough to beat.

QOTD: I still have a Hermitage that I’m drinking through at my house, but this weekend, Chateau Ste Michelle 04 Merlot for an easy drinking new world red and a for a white, an organic 04 Skeveldra Sancerre by Domaine des Quarterons… it’s got this hugely effervescent mouth feel with that acidity just like a Sierra Mist… not as sharp as Sprite, but it’s got the bubbly of the Sierra with the lymon of the Sprite. Weird stuff, very refreshing with my gf’s spicy yogurt salad dressing (thai chilli and greek yogurt!)

I’ve got some 2001 Muga Rioja Reserva opened right now. Bought the last case of that from my local wine monger (we just don’t use the word ‘monger’ enough). Drinking so beautifully right now. Big time vanilla in this wine without the effects of the dreaded ‘monstruo roble’. Tomorrow is another day. Depends on what we’re cooking up.

Finally got a Wild Goose riesling which we’ll be trying, followed by a Rollingdale Pinot Noir Late Harvest 2005 (yummy). Sunday probably back to a side-by-side of two Merlots â?? a Cap Fleur ’05
and a Jackson-Triggs NV (Yeah, right, Premier Campbell, a non-vintage as a 2010 Olympics Official Supplier wine)!

Hey Gv, Saints fan thanks for JV. Know he didn’t work out that great in teh 3 – 4, but he’s a young stud who should be hitting his prime in the black & gold! We haven’t had a good middle LB in 20 years, he’s a very welcome addition!

QOTD: Mission Hill Syrah (I beleive its 2004)from Okanagan region in Canada. My first Canadian Syrah so it kind of goes with today’s theme

QOD: I deserve something very special this weekend, but right now all I have open is the ’03 Chateau de Mignot from WL … if I didn’t know better, I’d swear this stuff was a California cab … just on the good side of fake, a nice comforting gin & tonic kind of Cab.

No $50 bottle for me! Probably a H3 Cabernet if I can pick some up tomorrow.

QOTD: Nothing! We have three nice bottles left in the pantry and we are giving them all away this weekend…

Great show today…gonna be drinking 2004 Kanonkop Pinotage until Costco runs out of it! That stuff is killer for the price ($18 here in Japan).

Best show of the week!

It was great getting to meet you tonight, and I really enjoyed the live taping (even if the wine wasn’t ideal)!

QOTD: Whatever wine we had at FOWA and Nikki Beach!

First time poster, long time viewer.

QOTD: This weekend I am drinkin the 2006 Black Opal Shiraz Cabarnet. I have to say that as far as my inexperienced palate is concerned, it is an excellent wine that can be had for cheap! I am an older CKC at 29 years, but things here tend to get better with age right? 🙂

I have to throw it out there, my wide and I found to today that we are expecting our first child! How cool is that?! Nothing like a nice wine to celebrate!

Love your show, thanks!

QOTD: Whatever I got on the last free shipping deal. Nearest wine shop is 4 hour away!

Heading to some friends for the night so I am bringing a bottle of Simi 2003 Landslide Cab from Cali to introduce them to a little California love. We will also be drinking a 2000 Savigny les Beaune. Not bad eh? Do you believe it is March 1st?

This weekend it’s the 2005 Solaris Cab Sav. Weird stuff. Bizarre horseradish nose and chocolate on the palate. A little awkward. I scored it 84. It’s nothing compared to the J. Lohr 2005 Merlot which I just finished. This one was the bomb and I scored it 94. Paso Robles is hot.
Mott! Link it up…but you can do better than “It tastes like wine”…
