qotd: not sure yet, but I picked up a bottle of a Moroccan Syrah by Alain Graillot called Syrocco that I’m superexcited to try…. if not that, perhaps cline 2005 cashmere.

That was a fantastic show. I don’t even need coffee in the morning if you keep bringing it with that energy level.

GV…That Chante-Perdrix was sold out before the link was corrected and I, personally, couldn’t find it on the WL site. I was really, really, really hoping to get my hands on a couple of these. Heck, I even came to work 2 hours early in hopes that the link would be corrected and the fine CDP open for b’nezz. Alas, some of the more site-savy peeps beat me to it and gobbled it all up. Any more coming in. I called and put my name on a back order….as well as ordering 6 more from you guys (2 of the Pere Caboche btw).

Anyway…don’t mean to whine, but, this one wasn’t me snoozing and was really one I liked to get ahold of.

Thanks for listening.

SJ.

QOTD: Haven’t planned this weekend yet, was going to head to the wine shop this weekend. I was thinking a rose with the ham, but I’m also doing waffles and I’m unsure what goes with waffles with maple syrup.

Great show, Gary, and a first for me. I’ve had wines that you’ve had on the show before, but never so recently. Just had the Torbreck a couple of weeks ago at a steak house in Providence. My parents loved it, I was more on the fence. However, I will say it was much nicer when I brought home a little bit and drank a few days later. Thanks for your perspective.

This weekend, starting this evening my mom and I will be drinking the 2002 Enotria Dolcetto and the 2005 Vinum PETS Petit Syrah. I have never had either but the guy at the Wine Seller in WIlliamsburg Virginia, where we are vacationing, says they bring the thunder. We’ll see. 🙂

Vaynaic widdows – you kidding? Seiko and I watched this glorious ep’ huddled together against the radiator. It’s chilly here in the UK and drafty round our gaff but you and the wine are surely bringing us together. Snug!

Had a horrible cold so off the vino for a full week – Scotch, ginger and lemon all the way babes. This weekend, however, will be back in the crimson saddle, riding high with:

Vina Herminia Crianza 2004 – because I know its a great vintage, Waitrose (where I got it) are offering 33% off and don’t just put the duff stuff on sale (like Tesco)… so if it’s good might by a half case to stash.

Teichert Ranch Lodi California Barrel Reserve Petite Syrah 2006 – a rare US purchase because you guys tend to offer dismal QPR in the UK but I can’t honestly remember having drunk a single varietal Petite Syrah before (although I see this one is blended with the Sauzao grape?) and I figured it could be kinda interesting… but can you find it in Jersey?

Have a good one!

2004 Pisoni Estate Pinot, Rudd Jerico Canyon Cab 2001, Turley Hayne Vineyard Zin 2005.

But don’t worry….. I’m pacing myself.

Loved #427 on a ‘meh’ morning. Thanks! 🙂 If you’re going to do a WLTV widow tee, then you’ve got to have a WLTV widower tee as well…

QOTD: Something that goes well with lamb for Easter dinner. I will know what that is as soon as I’m finished w/ errands which include stopping at my favorite wine shop. Maybe if I’m incredibly fortunate, I’ll also find the Chante-Perdrix… Details to follow.

QOTD – We’ll be having pizza at my Aunt and Uncle’s house tonight (Friday), so I’ll bring over a bottle of Fontanafredda Barbera D’alba Briccotondo…

QOTD – rolling with two wines that I am bringing to my moms for an Italian Easter Dinner a Allegrini La Grola 2004 which for my dollar is a baby Amarone and a silvio grasso nobilo langhe – baby barolo – Major QPR out of Italy!

This is what I plan on cracking open this weekend: LE MACCHIOLE ROSSO

QOTD- I hadn’t thought about it yet so I will decide now, I will go with Chateaunuef du Pape in honor of this episode, Easter (the Pope connection etc…) I have one 90 Beaucastel left, maybe a 98 Vieux Donjon, 00 Pegau, any of the 04’s they seem to be very approachable, I have a lot of CDP’s so we will make it a CDP weekend.

Great episode!

Aren’t you being a tad discriminating???? What about the WLTV Widows???? It’s not only guys who sit in front of their computer screen an subject their spouses to the rousing introduction at full volume….BTW.

QOTD – This weekend, we are doing a ‘Bordeaux Deconstructed’ theme at the tasting center that I work at. I’ll be sipping on my fav – a little of that PV – oh yea babe – Pirrammima Petit Verdot

oops – I meant WLTV Widower…..

Great Show! QOTD– Saturday with friends…a little champagne to start follow by 2002 Peacock Spring Mtn. CS….Easter Domaine Serene 2005 Grace Vineyard Pinot Noir
and 2005 Coeur Blanc — for dessert 1999 De Bortoli Noble One. Hope I won’t be disappointed with the choices!

Great episode today! I know exactly what you mean about the Slim Jim in the sniffy snif. I got that exact smell from a ’04 or ’05 St. Alicia Reserve Merlot last year and freaked out over it. Really cool! Rock on Gavy V!

Gary V, your energy was amazing today. Wow, now I’m pumped up. Thanks for a covering a few CDPs from Southern Rhone and delivering a great show. I am quickly becoming a fan of these wines.

QOTD: 2003 Sbragia Monte Rosso Cabernet Sauvignon

Gary,
Thor never brought the thunder like that. Way to rock. I’m planning on coming to the party next Saturday, unless its too late to get in. If anyone wanted to share a ride from Brooklyn, please give a shout. I’m planning on renting a car, and would be happy to share – or if someone has an extra seat, I’d be happy to hitch. My email is [email protected]
Best,
Harry

Oh, almost forget. QOTD – I’m planning on opening a bottle of Bel Air Gallier Graves, Fresh Prince style today, and then I have to crack the Saint Cosme Ch de Pape that I’ve been holding on my shelf. How could I not after this show.

QOTD: This weekend nothing will go better with the easter ham than a Lynmar 2005 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.

Hey Gary,
I found your show at the iTune Store looking for podcasts to learn from… So I downloaded all I could find, I’m well behind… I love wine, have read some books about it and love to try different bottles w/ my wife and friends. Still, my sniffy sniff needs a lot of education.
You have a great show and thanks for sharing your experience in Frace w/ us.. I’ll open a bottle of Baron De Rodrigo La Mancha 2006 from Spain…
