Just revisited this episode. I’ve been a fan of Water Wheel for a while, being fairly local to where I am. I especially like their Cabernet Sav. I’d like you to try their Chardonnay some time too.

  • Thank you for the party GV! Very psyched as well for the Quarterly ‘pick your crap up’ events – that would be great!

    I brought the Water Wheel Saturday to Basilica’s – found it locally a few weeks back (but your pricing is better!) Might have to purchase a few more now.

    I was a bit more impressed with the Boarding Pass than you (although not by much). Just a reminder, before you go off exploring the Great Plains you did say you would visit North Carolina this summer. Any update on that?

    QOTD — If I still followed baseball like I did 1968-80, I’d still be a Yankees fan! (what can I say? We got WPIX on cable in the 60s and 70s)

    I have two of these wines in the cellar (the Water Wheel and the Mitolo), and I really agree with your take on these wines (and the package for the Boarding Pass really is ingenius, but other than that sort of meh). I think the Water Wheel wines really deliver on the nose – (their Memsie blend REALLY does so as well, which includes Malbec and really provides an interesting angle to the blend) – I think Water Wheel delivers some of the best Aussie QPRs out there. Always a definite crowd pleaser.

    The 2005 Mitolo GAM is one of my favorite Aussie wines (and was one of my favorite reds last year), with Two Hands probably being my favorite all around Aussie producer. I really look forward to trying the 2006. I find these wines really do well with a few years on them. “I feel like I’m chewing it”…so true with these GAM wines, and I really appreciate that in these heavy hitters.

    Great ep GV, really enjoyed this. Thanks for bringing THE THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER.

    QOTD: Gonna grab a water wheel and celebrate the first pitch!

    I’m surprised at myself for being continually amazed by your charisma. Actually, it’s like people who have eaten my food several times and still act surprised that they’re loving it. “Why are you surprised”, I think. They’ve always liked my food, so why are they surprised. I’ve certainly watched you long enough to anticipate great shows from you, so why am I SURPRISED?

    QOTD: SF Giants are going nowhere this year so I’m going to say Tiger. No, not THE Tigers, Tiger, as in Woods 🙂

    Great episode, great party! Thanks again for that, GV, and I’d definitely look forward to coming down quarterly (though probably more often than that) for some kind of event/party, even if it isn’t as big as this one was.

    QOTD: Meet the Mets, meet the Mets; come on out and greet the Mets! Watching it right now!

    Can’t wait to see the show that was done on Saturday! Post it up Mott?
