qotd: tons of fun wine varietals/regions out there. Been looking for and when I can actually find them wines from Greece, Switzerland, Slovenia, Hungary, Uruguay, Corsica France, Reunion France etc., and lots of lesser known grapes like Charbono, Chasselas, Mondeuse, Tannat, Valdiguie, Savagnin, Picolit, etc, etc, etc,etc.
How could wine ever stop being fun or get boring?

  • The comment part was missing the first time I ran through this. Fun fact, wine is good for you. Too bad on these Ripassos. I have 3 in storage from 2004 and they were very good at the outset so I expect they will be better now. In fact, I think I will have one tonight.

    I wish I hadn’t already opened tonight’s wine. It would have been fun to have opened my bottle of Le Bine and tried it! Oh, well, there’s always the April 1st show

    “T”

  • bigmay

    Rocked it with this show. I don’t think I’ve ever had a Ripasso so I’ll need to change that. You’re spot on talking about a “pleasure scale.” Who cares about scores? If it doesn’t bring me pleasure, I don’t want it. Great advice on trying a new varietal every trip to the store as well.

    QOTD: Fun fact – facetious is the only word in the English language that has all 5 vowels (A,E,I,O, and U) in it in alphabetical order (or so I’ve been told).

    Gary,

    So funny..just had a Masi Ripasso a few weeks ago, as I was expanding my palate. Awesome wine and what a price point..like 14 bucks! Right on getting the word out there about these, cuz they definitely bring some serious thunder!

  • Marc Bienvenue

    Ripasso and amarone are my favorite!! God’s juice for me!

  • Hey GV if you read these then follow me up on Twitter @Jaybird76

    QOTD: My fun fact of the day was that I got stressed because it seems like no one wants to work anymore, and then “a glass of Cabernet saves the day”. So I would say sometimes it is never to early to have a wine that can smooth out the edges.

    Good to see you back, GV. You’re one busy wine-loving man.

    FFOTD: 08′ is the Cubs year. Ok…it may not be a fact to most, but, it certainly is to me.

    Awesome ! top 20! Love amarone, but cant roll that high so I have been searching for value in similar wines. How about tasting two of my favorite similar wines like Allegrini’s la Grola or the palazzo della torre

    Forgot the QOTD: My fun fact has nothing to do with Wine. Did you know that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the same day…ready for this July 4th, 1826…spooky huh?
