    QOTD: A couple really great wines under $10.00 stand out to me. 1) Snoqualimie 2006 Riesling from Washington. Great stuff!! 2) Montevina Zinfandel 2004 from Amador County. In fact many wines from Montevina are of great value, no I don’t work for them or even know someone there! They just stand out as a value based wine, that put’s a quality from year to year.

    I like the show!

    ALSO……. I agree with the person that suggested the other day that you do a show on the book, this will really help drive sales and give us a few tid bids from the book!! MAKE IT HAPPEN, THROW DOWN SOME THUNDER!!

  • Yep.. old schooler here.. Rockin the original band!

  • GV, looking forward to giving the book a read-ee read!

    QOTD: The Alamos Malbec that I had a few days ago (from WL, ordered last year). Great QPR at 8 bones.

  • The ’06 Domaine des Corbillieres Touraine (a Loire Sauvignon Blanc) slammed one out of the park for $10! 90 pts for my palate and I like to think I’m stingy with points.

    For reds, the ’05 Pago de Valdoneje Bierzo, also for $10, was the first wine I’ve ever had made from the Mencia grape. Very nice, minerally & REAL – no fakey-fake!

    Interesting to hear about the Vinho Verde’s, I remember the slightly fizzy Mateus! I’ll have to try one out on my friends. I like the sound of the Taja too haven’t really ventured into Jumillas yet so i’ll have to fix that.

    QOTD: Seguret, Les Coteaux Schisteux, Boutinot 2003. I was buying it buy the glass from the Hotel bar where I was staying last Christmas, I made them give me the empty bottle so I could track it down, which I did and bought a case. It was £5:99 – that’s about $10 right? if it’s not, it probably was last Christmas!

    To tell you the truth I really don’t recall the last ten dollar wine I liked.
    I’m looking forward to testing the two you recommended. BTW the ” sniffy-sniff is become routine whether it’s wine or water or coffee etc…

  • Ok, ok, I’ll comment: I believe the last best under $10 wine I had was Mad Dogs & Englishmen.

  • Falcon Ridge Zinfandel is a nice, simple wine under $10 – porch wine 😉
    J Lohr Cabernet Sauvignon varies in price between $10 and 15 – one of my favorites

    Hey Gary, Ricardo here directly from Portugal, loved your show, just wanted to know if you ever tasted some more red wine from Portugal, especialy one called Syrah 2005 Casa Ermelinda Freitas, just got a win for best red wine in Vinalies Internationales.

    Peace.

  • I enjoyed the 2006 Pascual Toso Malbec ($7.99) Great QPR. Also really liked the 2006 Panarroz Jumilla which I picked up for 7.99 also rated 90 pts Robert Parker. Both I got at Costco!

    A great tasting, balanced wine on WLTV — $8.99 /// A case of wine for under 120 bones? — Under 120 bones, duh. /// “raspberry jam blowing out the nose” — PRICELESS!!

    QOTD: Ercavio 2005 Tempranillo Roble, what a buy at $7.99 Too bad the 2006 doesn’t measure up.

    QOTD: Considering that there is a liquor control board in Quebec that price-gouges, you’ll understand that a 12 dollar wine here counts as an ‘under 10’ in the states… So I’ll go with a Bourgueil from Nicholas Mabileau. Not as vegetal as some cab francs, but still quite good for the price.

  • Live in Japan where it’s a little hard to really rock the under $10 range. Back when the dollar was stronger I’d go with a wine that came in at around $9 from Tunisia. Forgot the name but it was a pinot noir. Not a bad little bugger for under $10 and pinot. From Tunisia! Under $10! Pinot!

    QOTD: El Coto Rioja – great little wine particularly if decanted for 6+ hours

  • Greg B.

    Big G, Loved the EP. Just got a bottle of Wall Cab for about 10. Hear it’s nice, so I’ll have to put it to the OL’ GV test.

    QOTD: 1st Question. I from the Old School so yes I have Wrist Band #1.
    2nd Question: Falseco “Vitiano” from Umbria

  • FT in FC

    Probably the Razor’s Edge Shiraz. All of the local wine stores sold out of the ’05s.
