I can pick any wine at WL between 10 and 25-30 dollars.

afterwards you can see it.

deal?

If the Lake Erie reds are anything like the Finger Lake reds, pass. Too cold up there! Riesling, maybe. Reds, no thanks. I am thinking maybe Gary is going to be off on this prediction 😉

Always surprising, WLTV rocks!

Oh Canada…

Top 10. I need to get a life.

Way to not like the wine. I liked your spin on things at the end.
QOTD: I have to say that this has not happened to me recently.

early day today?

whats up GV.. lookin forward to this weekend!

QOTD: This hasn’t happened to me yet, unfortunately.

Great show Gary. Can’t remember the name of it, but I had a Malbec from Chile that was really good. Up until that one I have struck out with Malbecs from there.

word homie, love Canadia land

The Shiraz in not a good grape for Canada needs to much sun, this area is more for white grape Gew, Riesling, and such

qotd: the hungarian wine in the last secret pack:)

YEAH, bring the party up into Canada…Pelee Island

The vegetal taste is due to grape that haven’t ripened enough. Many of the Lake Erie vinifera grapes just don’t have a long enough season therefore hybrids are better for most areas

QOTD: Petalos 2006 from Palacios in Bierzo… not sure if the producer is the star (biodynamic producer) or if it’s the region, but it certainly impressed me enough to be on the lookout for more wines made with Mencia. Great floral red with tons of rose and lilac, and black olives on the palate for days!

Oh my god! I can’t believe you have an entire episode dedicated to a winery just a few miles from where I grew up. A place completely unknown for wine.

Wow – dumping the bottles – is that a WLTV first? Good show as always.

QOTD – 2005 Albert Mann Riesling Furstentum
I bought this wine at random and it totally turned my thinking around on Riesling – a variety that I hadn’t tried all that much before . .but since trying the Albert Mann have tried over a dozen more from Alsace and Germany.

Top 20!

top 21!

QOTD: That’s easy. I had a Merlot from Sprucewood Estates in Lake Erie North Shore, very close to Pelee Island. It was so light, sleek, and vibrant, that I would have no clue that it was a Merlot. Completely different than the over oaked fruit bombs that California produces. It was way more satisfying.

QOTD – 2005 a’Maurice Cellars Chardonnay. Have to say that I am just not a Washington Chardonnay fan. They tend to be the bad ends of both the Cali Butter Bomb and the French rock. This wine really opened my mind up to the fact that Washington Chardonnay can be made into a not just a good wine, but monumental. Really didn’t want to finish the bottle it was so good.
