    GV Thanks for tasting that, no sooner than i requested it after the mis labeling of the last episode it was right there on my screen! You nailed it, its a great wine! Not the 03 though, although more versatile with food imo. This weekend lots of basketball, hanging with the family, cooking food and drinking good vino.

  • Prepping for my wife’s birthday so a shout out to her as she rags on me for watching you so much. Waiting for more wine to be delivered. Can’t invite anyone else to Thirsty Thursday because we still haven’t gotten it together in Tidewater Virginia.

    I agree that you should have had cheese. It completly smoothes out the tannins. As a rank amateur I would say that if you taste this again when it has the same bottle age that the 2003 did when you tasted it, you might rethink your score.

    QOTD: Easter egg hunt of course.

    Easter brings a family gathering with lots of great food and wine. Should be a great day for all of us to celebrate. Enjoy your time in SF and bring back some great stories for next week’s episodes. Saw your phone video with Kevin and it reminded me of reality tv.

  • Wow, GV, you mentioned before that you lost a winemaker friend over your broadcast, when you didn’t like his wine. I can tell from today’s ep. that it really stung. Sorry to hear that. But you’re keeping it rizzeal, so that’s why you’ve got the Vayniac Nation’s love. Today’s wine sounded interesting, because you mentioned the Amarone-like nose. But Amarone is something I’ve been curious about trying anyway, so maybe I’ll just skip over to one of those instead.

    Hey, how about some more dessert wines at the end of your video flights? I’d love to hear your thoughts on Banyuls.
