    Awesome show! Thanks for Laid Back Friday!

    QOTD1: Never heard of it before, but I think it’ll be right up my alley!
    QOTD2: No! :,( It was a bit outta my price range for the tickets, rental car, and hotel. I’m thinking about making a pilgrimage to the Wine Lib in August though…

    And if I was there on 3/29, I’d *so* be bringing the Thunder!

  • QOTD: Yes, I have had Xarel-lo before; it’s awesome. You can find Xarel-lo from a DO called Alella in Spain under the local name Pansa Blanc – it has a little fatness, and is perfect for shellfish. I push the Marques de Alella at my tapas bar quite a bit. This is the grape that makes Cava unique. It can have a little pine needles on the nose and a great acidity. Segura Viudas is another good producer of Xarel-lo (from the Penedes or Catalunya.)

    QOTD 2: Maybe. I have to work all day, but maybe I can swap – it doesn’t help that this is my ‘money night’ as a waiter.

    QOTD: I have had some Xarel’lo – on my day trip to Penedes last fall. Albet i Noya is my favorite producer over there and I think Can Feixes had a nice one too.

    Unfortunately can’t make it all the way to the right coast for 3/29, but I’m sending some friends your way…

    qotd 1. I’m with Mott and have never heard of Xarel-lo. It’s now on my list w/Kosher wines, though.

    qotd 2. Would love to experience the Xanadu that is WL….but, will not be there. Please do a taping throughout the day, that would be awesome and would certainly put a flame under those who are on the fence to make it next time.

    Geez–I wish I could be there for what sounds like the greatest rager of the 21st Century, but I cannot justify the trip from Iowa to my wife. ;(

    I just added the Castell Roig to my wishlist. It sounds refreshing and delicious!

    Gary, the format of the show now has really taken an upward swing. Xarel-Lo, amazing you presented this. I suspect most of our group would have not heard of this wine. As I metioned in an earlier post I recently completed and passed the Exam for WSET Level 3 Advance certification in Wine and Spirits. I only know of this based on my studies. The Thunder Show has really transformed to great education. Hats off! and Thumbs up! Great Show.
