QOD: Feudo D’elimi Grillo $5.00. Great summer time wine!

My last best under $10 was Atteca Garnacha-06 & Ercavio Roble-06

THANK YOU GARY!!! for doing a CKC episode/value driven episode. I’m definately going to have to try that Taja Jumillia and the white wine you tried first. Great work man, i really enjoyed the episode

QOTD: the best under 10$ wine i have had would probably be a mix between the super valued BERCO DU INFANTE you tried a while back that rolled in at only
5$ which was unreal in both value and quality, and for white wines it would probably be a mix between the CANDONI PINOT GRIGIO or the PETER ZEMMER PINOT GRIGIO… i know the zemmer is one of the more mass produced that you are trying to get everyone away from but its actually a decent bottle imo.

great show man!

Never had it. Willing to try it but never had it.

Market the book at the Draft!!!!

Dona Paula Argentina Malbec for $5. Absolute steal.

QOTD: The Stump Jump

Pillar Box Red. OK, it’s 11 bucks but I’d pay more for it it’s that good.

QOTD: Terra Unica Tempranillo-Monastrell Reserva 2000 ($6.99) Awesome, can’t find it anymore though, the new vintage is 2003, have not tried yet.

Gary,
Gotta say that I really enjoyed today’s show. Just one of those episodes that makes me want to say thank you, such a great way to start my day.. a little thunder!!! I am going to try and drive the hour or two down to the WineLib. sometime soon, I am super stoked to check it out! Have a great day!!
QOTD: Chateau Fage Graves de Vayres white bordeaux,$9-11

Last under 10 bucks wine that I liked would have to be a Jumilla wine called LUZON. Also tried there organic wine to, Luzon Verde which for an organic and under $10 was good. I really don’t rate Doc. Jay Miller at all. Tell Mr. Parker to dump the chump.

has to be the el nino loco cotes de luberon, which a friend purchased from WL and you tasted on the show a while back. 10 bucks, simply awesome. wish you had more at WL so I could order it!

Vinho Verde – yes twice in the last two months. Love them.

Best Less Than $10 Wine – Natura Carmenere. Love it and it’s organic & biodynamic!

Rocking the old wristband! I got the hat trick: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jbulava/2402502836/

Gary–Not your Grand Pappy’s Vino Verde?! Mott only gets three e-mails a day! Rockin’ humor today! Oh, I have the original Vayniac wristband. One day, it will be worth millions!

QotD: Last good wine under 10 bones – 2004 Tres Pico Garnacha (Borsao) – wow…it is the ultimate QPR in my book.

PS – I can’t stop laughing when you do the Russian wrestler voice…it kills me…i think I watch more for that than the wine now.

PPS – San Diego ever on your radar screen? I’m doing that blind tasting – 2005 MOnbousquet – Aroma de Pavie – and Secret de Cardinale

Thanks for the suggestions of what to buy and not buy. Very helpful. And I love reading the reviews – some great suggestions. Thanks, everyone!

QOTD :
Ercavio Roble Tempranillo – $8, I believe. Has this capitivating floral component that’s just super interesting. Also had a bottle of the Castano Monastrell a couple weeks ago- but the 2005 vintage. It benifits hugely from some decanting time & served with food vs solo. I always have enjoyed it & found it to be a very solid effort under $10. Going to try this week the Penfolds 2006 Koonunga Shiraz-Cab. – 91 pts JM & $7 @ our local store (Applejack – Colorado). On paper, a potential huge QPR.

qotd: riondo prosecco.
non-bubbly: stickleback white.

Gary- LOVE the original wristbands (but not as much as my nephew, Mark, LOVES them!!)!!!!! 🙂

Gary- Wines that don’t hurt??? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!! 🙂

Don’t have the 1st wristband, but am enjoying the bring the thunder one.
Have not had a Loureiro.

QOTD: Independent Producers Merlot from Columbia Valley–about 9 bones from WL. You might think it was a little candy-esk—starburst sweet-tart flavors. But a soft enjoyable wine, nonetheless.

LOVE the theme today….thanks for the value-show. I’d love to see how the Jumilla stands up to other more expensive wines from the region…

QOTD: Li Veli Passamante, Salento Negroamaro 2003.

Last $10.00 Wine is similar to the Taja – Las Rojas Grenacha is decent enough and we’re also partial to the Jumilla Panarozz (we’ve had 05’s and 06’s) that comes in around the same price point – I’ve also had the Castano in the past but like the others better. Love this episode – looking forward to the book.

QOTD: La Puerta Shiraz Argentina ($8 CAD) or Pascual Toso Malbec Argentina ($12 CAD)
