Q1: No, unless you’re counting Cava, but I loved the Lorenzon ribolla gialla if that’s any consolation.
Q2: I can’t, I have my own charity wine shindig to throw!

QOTD: I’m coming out from Tucson, AZ to the Dirty Jerz on 3/29 … to attend a wedding 🙁 Guess where else in Jersey I’d rather be that day? Yup, at the fantastical WineLibrary mecca 🙁

I’ve never heard of Xarel-Lo, no surprise. But, Wendy has never even heard of Xarel-Lo, BIG surprise. However, we are sitting back with a Chardonnay (K) by Viña Luis Felipe Edwards Ltda. Its a 2006 Terra Vega Chardonnay, Bin No 921 from Central Valley, Chile… peaches, long plate, some acidity, a little sweet. Dynamite with our local Quebec cheese of the evening… a creamy, slightly salty, “Fou Du Roy” (Kings Jester) made for raw cow’s milk.

Looks very good for Wendy and I to be there for the 29 March. I have set Friday and Monday aside as travel days. Saturday, WL and all our Vayner nation friends to-be and Sunday to poke around NJ and points North.

If you can book Wendy and I for the after WL restaurant that would be fantastic.

We will now start the search for an interesting Canadian wine to share with all… hopefully something no one out side of Quebec ever tried.

I guess we could used a recommendation on a nearby Motel.

Thatâ??s it. Fun episode!

Wendy and Bill

Nyet!, Da!, Da!

QOTD1: Nope, never had a Xarel Lo, it’s going on my to-do list.

QOTD2: I wish, but I’m doing a winery tour in Argentina that week.

QOTD: Never even heard of Xarel-lo before today. I would love to come to the wine library but unfortunately im too far away and my vacation is for the week prior.

Top 85
QOTD: no. no.

QOTD 1: Never even heard of Xarel-Lo but will seek it out this weekend.

QOTD 2: Can’t be there–NCAA regional final tics here in Detroit!

Have a great weekend and thanks for a fabulous show.

QOTD:1)No, sounds good though.2)Maybe, can’t commit,but I’ll definitely stop by the store Saturday.

Soooo, is an hour-long drive considered out-of-town enough to get in on the Basilicos thing? Would love to join if space available for me. Making this my birthday present since my birthday is on 3/30.

Nope never heard of it, but will add it to my list.
Not gonna make it on the 29th, pretty long haul from the bayou down here. Hope to stop by with my thunder during my late July road trip though.
I want to see Mott’s tees linked up soon!

Showin’ some love for Flair!! Love it!

Thanks man!

Nice show GV. My grandfather was Catalan, so I’m excited to try this wine in his honor (which leads to the QOTD: no I haven’t tried it). Wish I could come on March 29, but I have prior commitments in Michigan and Atlanta that weekend. Just promise you’ll do another event soon! Keep it real.

loving the the episode!
QOTD I havent had a xarel-lo, but i am trying to expand my white wine palate, I would really like yo make it to the party and most likely will and i am deff bringing the THUNDER wether I’m there or not!

Great show…thought you were going to fire that glass of wine right through my screen.

I’ve had Xarel-lo but only the bubbly…spanish cava rocks and is a reeeeedonkulus value compared to champagne. I have not had any still Xarel-lo yet but certainly will. Love albarinos and rieslings so it sounds like it’s up my alley.

The 29th sounds like a blast but I just can’t swing it….too busy bro.

Q1: Does it count if it’s in the form of cava and blended with other grapes? If so, yes. If not, no.

Q2: Sorry, Gary.

Yes, I ain’t never not had a Xarelo (No). I am definitely going to try hard to not miss and maybe even make it to the event on 3/29 that I am looking forward to attempting to be at (Maybe).

QOTD:Have a ball, people!

Nice weekend.:)

Can’t get out stateside for the bash but will definitely have a few glasses on the day and be there in spirit (inebriated spirit).

Xarel-lo and me are down when it’s in Cava but haven’t had it as a still wine. Must search it out and expand my palate.

QOTD1: Yes!! I’ve tried Xarel.lo before! it’s from my beloved homeland Catalunya!! 🙂 (I just feel a little nostalgic and also proud when I see you presenting Catalan wines…)
There is an organic wine producer, Albet i Noya, which has a 100% Xarel.lo and a Xarel.lo-Chardonnay blend. Also I’ve tried it in cava (although I’m not a big fan of sparkling).

QOTD2: I’d love to come, but NJ is a bit far from SoCal (also, having a 6-month old baby makes traveling a bit difficult :S)

Hugs from Irvine and thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks… 999,999 thanks for the show!!!

QOTD1: nope.
QOTD2: …nope.

QOTD- Haven’t even heard of it, and I even worked at a Spanish restaurant for awhile!
Out of curiousity, is it grown anywhere outside of Spain, or is that the only place to get the X hook-up?

I have not even heard of Xarel-Lo. I am sorry I can’t make it. I am starting a new job on Monday.

Very good show! I had some Xarel-Lo as I went down to Spain last year. Good stuff, but prefered the Verdejo’s and Albarino’s to Xarel-Lo.

#2 No, unfortunately not… NJ is a bit toooo far away from Frankfurt, Germany.. even there are direct flights th NY.

I have not had a Xarrel-lo before. Sounds good though. Unfortunately I will not be at the big WLTV bash. Too far to come from California, and I travel too much for work already. hope everyone has a great time. The Vayniac parties here in SF have always been good fun.
