gary, you TOTALLY called me out as a lurker. haha. great show man. been enjoying it a lot. don’t have anything for your QoTD.

thanks for being such a positive dude.

QQTD: I actually haven’t had many under 10 dollars wines which is really unfortunate. I am definitely going to pick up the one you liked to try.

Great show!

Nice, I like that we’re getting back to a few values. I love the comfort of buying wine under 10 bucks. If it’s bad… so what! Just drink it after you open the next (better) bottle!

QOTD: Porca De Murca Douro – Come on, for 5 bucks (actually $7) this is ridiculous. Simple fruit, a decent midpalate, and very smooth on the back with well-integrated alcohol and some nice acidity that lends itself to several pieces of Chicago deep dish pizza!

QOTD – Columbia Crest 04 Grand Estates Merlot. 89 points (my score) at 7.99 = one heck of a great deal!

QOTD: paid 8 bones for a Bogle Old Vine Zin which I enjoyed with a sirloin strip, sauteed shrooms and a poivre sauce! I love good QPRs!

QOTD… Don Miguel Gascon 2006 Malbec Argentina.. $9.99 90 Points Robert Parker… Beautiful Polished Fruit Explosion with Chocolate And Licorice Notes on the Back End, Nice Acidity Soft Tannins…!!!

Great Show!!!

QOTD: I can honestly say I haven’t had a sub $10 much less sub $15 wine in a long time. I am a CKC but I find $15-20 reasonable for a wine. I’m not saying I wouldnt find great wines under $10, but in my past of trying, it is alot harder to find one that stands out in the price region…and if I am going to spend money on a btl of wine, I want the odds of my enjoying it to go up with it.

The problem with the sub-10 bottles, for me, is that I buy one bottle – not knowing if it will be any good – but by the time that I drink them and find out they are good, everyone else has made the same discovery and bought up all the supply.

QOTD
2006 Heartland Stickleback White – $10
2006 Altos Las Hormigas Malbec – $10
2006 Colonia Las Liebres Bonarda – $7
2005 Trapiche Malbec Oak Cask – $10-11

Great Show Gary,
10$ bottles of Wine that you want to drink are a little harder to find up here due to the shackles of the BCLS; however, I just picked up the Taja the other day and now look forward to tasting it on the weekend…

QOTD: Last great sub-$10 wine = The Espelt Saulo from Da Thunder Show!

QOTD: Cavit 2005 Riesling was killer for 9 bones. 92+

Sweet show today Cheap Vino!!!
QOTD 1 – Yes I am an original wristband holder 🙂
QOTD2 – Matties Perch I believe it was a shiraz, on sale at Costco for 4 bones.

QOTD: Ruffino Orvieto Classico, $6.49, 2005 Garrigue Cotes Du Rhone Romain $9.99

QOTD: Ercavio Tempranillo. Great stuff and can’t find it around here anymore.
Wished I would have gotten more.

joyce

QOTD – Pascual Toso, as some have mentioned, is really about the best $10 wine I’ve had in a couple of years although I keep searching for a better one to whip out so I can seem cooler.

The last best one, though, was the 2006 E Guigal Cotes Du Rhone for $9.99.

Gary- I actually had the Costano last and when I first opened it, the tannins blew me away along with some of the harsher vegetal nose. But hey, it really opened up after a day and the tannins smoothed out and it was strong still but better. After 2 days it died!
