    Does anyone else pick up some sugar in this wine? I know it’s very unlikely, as it’s unfined/unfiltered, but my tasting group all said RS.

    I rather enjoyed this wine, until the American oak 2×4 hit me on the back of the head. Very planky finish. Overall, a pretty enjoyable wine. They should just drop the American oak from this wine, and it would be much improved.

    Couldnt agree more with you on the Justin. I’ve had several vintages of the Iscosceles and have never been wowed–especially for the price. I think their other wines, in particular, the Savant and Temperillo Reserve, are a much better wine. Great show.

    Hey Gary!!
    I stumbled upon your show while i was searching the web for some recommended Rose wine! I must admit that at first, i was taken by surprise because your so… enthusiastic about white tasting, I was expecting a wine show to be much more serious. I am relatively new to wine and i appreciate all that you try to teach through this show!

    I notice that you are a big sports fan and that you are from the NJ area (btw Giants rock, but props to you for being a devoted fan to a lousy team :P) but you don’t seem to have much interest in the NJ Devils, the NHL hockey team… Whys that?

    Anyway, keep up the great work,
    Jad

    Hi Gary, greetings from Tokyo. I went to a casual French bistro with a few good friends. Drank some Alain Paret Condrieu, a Languedoc red from Montcalmes, a Chateau N de P from Grand Veneur. Good simple food, plenty of wine, good company.

    I am watching this on Monday. I was finishing a week in Dubai on Friday. Friends and I went to the Burj Al Arab for drink. Over-the-top awesome experience. 2 drinks cost $95 but what the hey… I had Burger King for lunch the day before.

    How about an episode on Vin Santo???

  • Friday night we had a date night, went to see a movie, had a mediocre dinner, and I got to buy three bottles of one of my favorite wines… I had been looking for a while for the Foxen 2003 Sangiovese Volpino and thought I wasn’t ever going to find one in a store… and we randomly were walking around and found some in a wine store here…

    Sooooo stoked! Foxen does a stellar job on their Sangiovese Volpino time and again!
