GV – GREAT show!! Glad you’re back!

QOTD: Had a glass of a local (S. IL) wine last nite: BlueSky Niagara

I forgot to mention that I’m pretty psyched about the wine packs. I had already planned for April 1st to be a good day but that’ll make it even better. 🙂

QotD: Tamaya Pink Goat Syrah Rose 2006. It did bring a little bit of thunder. Relatively complex flavors, still not as dry as I wanted but the recommendation of the wine store guy was a good one.

Now that I have watched the episode I will answer the QOTD–

Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay I think it was the Sonoma Coast

It was drinkable, but not a whole lot of thunder…

Great episode! Looking forward to April Fools’ Tasting!

Welcome back GV.

QOTD: Remo Farina Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2005. I had this at a nice Italian restaurant and enjoyed it very much. I like some of the Valpolicella’s made using the ripasso method. It was around mid $30’s at the restaurant so I’m guessing you could probably buy for approx $15 – $20?? Have you done any of the ripasso Valpolicella’s for WLTV? I have a Romano Dal Forno I’m saving for a special occasion.

Love the show and watch everyday even though I confess to lurker status most of the time.

QOTD: Bootleg Southern Red: waxy, off-kilter, finished that tastes like strawberry vomit and compost. And get this, the second drink was worse. Completely undrinkable. Sorry, Bootleg!

QOTD: Willakenzie Estate Pinot Gris ’06. Somewhere in between thunder and pazz… haven’t had enough Pinot gris from Willamette to judge QPR. (around 18$)

QOTD: 2006 Yvon Mau Vin de Pays du Comte Tolosan
And it brought… well, like a 90% chance of showers, but I wouldn’t say it brought “the THUNDER” But ‘s allright…

ya know… I still don’t have that new wristband….. 🙁 Can I, can I, pleeeease? 🙂

following santagaryvee!!

no good tho, I live in MA. Hope I can still get a new wristy out of it (my first ed. is trashed)

QOTD:RELAX reisling….just a fun off dry thing. not remarkable.

OH and word up to hedges, I worked just around the corner from them…REPRESENT RED MOUNTAIN!

I don’t want to see you with no comments, or not enough anyway, and so this is me – commenting, that I’m glad you’re back – and glad that you’re able to get a lot of stuff up and going again. Nice!!

Welcome back — next time leave a note onhow long you’ll be gone so we don’t have to guess!

QOTD — 2005 Gulfi Cerasuolo di Vittoria, $13.98/86 pts. Not a great QPR, but I think the perfect balance of this red would make it a great intoductory wine for novices

It’s funny you’re doing the FREAKOUT cause i see that a tasting i’m going to is going to have it there. Will watch the episode when i get home from work. Glad to see you back!!

QOTD: My homemade Shiraz (Washington fruit). Give it 82 points but a great QPR.

Welcome Back!!

QOTD – Robert Sinskey Pinot Blanc. It totally brought the thunder!!

Here’s a wine request for you – Ferrante Golden Bunches from the Grand River Valley. You shouldn’t have to look too far….It must still be in your office (or Ian’s)……!!!!!

QOTD: 2004 Chateau D’Aiguilhe Querre. I decanted half the bottle for a couple of hours before enjoying it last night… Not bad, but definitely too oaky for my taste. I’m surprised it wasn’t too oaky for you, Gary! The other half of the bottle sat open over night, and I just poured a glass of it… much better than last night, but still quite oaky. This wine is a pass for me right now, but I have another bottle, and look forward to seeing how it has changed a few more years down the road.

welcome back! we missed you!

GV – I’m not even a lurker and I don’t have a wrist band! What up with that, huh?

QOTD: I shared a bottle of Skylite Cellars 2005 Big Red Hiney with the Big Bear, Zeb Walter. Normally Big Bear isn’t a fan of the vino – and he LOVED this wine so it totally brought the thunder in one respect… but then for me, not so much. A mild rain storm for me…

QOTD: The last wine I had was Domaine Les Hautes Noelles – Muscadet Cotes de Grandlieu 2004. Was wondering around a BevMo yesterday and decided to pick out something I’d never heard of before. Solid wine, if I had to rate it, I’d got with a 86.

Glad to have you back on the show!

Gary V in the HOUSE!!!! Good to see you again and bringing the Thunder!!

QOTD: I was able to try a white and red from the Rhone valley with Lunch today. Neither to exciting but just finding them in a restaurant here was staggering to say the least.

Monday I had a Albarino by Salneval. It was outstanding at $12. Tanzer gave it an 88 and I agree.

BTW – Hedges has been a long time favorite of mine.
