    QOTD1: Nope, never had a Xarel-lo

    QOTD2: If you weren’t 5500 miles or so away, then I would definitely be there. Hope all goes well – wil be there in spirit if not in person.

  • Gary,

    There is definitely a contingent coming from Princeton. As of now it could be 5 peeps, or 25 peeps. It would be AWESOME if we could come to the 3-5 tasting. Either way, we’ll be representin’.

  • Kirk (AKA: slave2thevine)

    QOTD: I actually had this very wine about a month ago at a tasting here in Maine. As for my attempt to come to the 29th…things are not looking like this will happen. There was a recent loss in my family that is going to require all of my spare change saved up to make this trip that will reroute me to Orlando for a funeral instead.

    I’ve had cava’s, but I’ve never had a pure Xarel-lo on it’s own. I’ll definitely check to see if my store has any

    as far as the 29th, not gonna be there cause the chicago crew is representing with the judgement of chicago tasting at LFF’s 🙂

  • Eric Gardner

    Glad to see Castell Roig again. Got a few bottles after seeing it on an earlier WLTV episode. Great stuff. There are so many Cavas, and such a huge difference in their quality, that it’s nice to get some help picking. When they’re good, they’re very very good, and when they’re bad…

    Fun episode! Never had a Xarel-lo! Our wine monopole in Quebec (SAQ) does not carry this variety!! Next time I visit the US I’ll try to fetch one. Cheers

    QOTD: 1) Nope, I’ve never even heard of Xarel-lo. I definitely will have to try it though. Come to think of it, since I was in Barcelona last summer, perhaps I *did* try it – I just can’t recall. 2) Nope, I’ll be flying over to Geneva Switzerland on business that day. I’ll be with you all in spirit and I REALLY wanted to be there with you all. Major bummer!!! 3) I will bring the Thunder in spirit. 🙂

  • Mr.Ambassador

    Following the great advice to sample new varieties whenever possible; haven’t tried a Xarel-Lo yet.

    Really wish I could take the time off work and visit Wine Library (any plans on opening a west coast branch?).

    Cheers!
