QOTD – I have a few recommendations.

1. 1999 Hanna Bismark Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon – excellent with a grilled Ribeye.
2. 2003 Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon
3. 2005 Montes Alpha Syrah – these 2 at $12/bottle are excellent.

Hey GV!!
QOTD: Clos des Fées, Langedoc-Roussillon…. Pure Bomb!!

Best regards from Paris,

QOTD: Keep on rockin the wine world G-man. We love what you are doing. And please send me the book.

Why do you hate MJ?

QOTD: I recently had the 2004 Chateau Beaumont Haut-Medoc (only $20). This wine and my pal became best friends. Awesome.

Nice call on Vernon Gholston. I recomend you tying “The Show 2005” on the thunder show. It has a nice symmetry to it.

QOTD. I recommend you keeping your promise of bringing more new/different varietals to the Thundershow.

Keep it up!

episode is a little disappointing. was expecting from the title a kosher wine episode but was only given one. gary, you should try the baron herzog special reserve white riesling. that one was great.

95 points for the shya? come on. and 90 for the syrah? dude, your number system was screwy today- get back to the couch!

QOTD: have some dalton’s syrah or yarden’s merlot 2002 or goose bay sauv blanc 2005.

and don’t crush the matzah

Great show. Would love to see more about BC Wines.

QOTD: I recommend you try some wines from some of the vineyards near my home in Connecticut. Stonington Vineyards has a great Cabernet Franc and recently I had the Jonathan Edwards 2005 Napa Valley Petite Sirah (the grapes are grown in Napa, but the wine is made in CT). It was outstanding.

I recommend you do a show on wines with crazy names. I just had a Hungarian wine called Bull’s Blood. It was cheap and ok.

I also recommend doing a show about different ways to transport wine, which are better, how to remove corks, neat things you can do with corks with a tie in to user submitted creations.

Another great show, yes PASSION is a good thing! I want to get one of the Secret packs to taste along with, but which to choose?

My recommendation? Gotta try some Humboldt Fog goat cheese if you havent had a chance to yet, great with a sparkler! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humboldt_Fog

QOTD: you should try a Morellino di Scansano called Ghiaccio Forte from Castello Romitorio. It’s only available through an Ohio importer called Belvino. In fact, you might think about doing a Morellino show, given that it’s such a terrific (not to mention underrated) area.

QOTD: I recommend that you do one week’s worth of shows while floating down the Canal du Midi on a barge in the Languedoc region of France. Take your wife; take your brother, but do it (no experience necessary!). You already like these wines, and they’ll taste even better meandering down the Midi with your loved ones. I enjoyed it so much, I even wrote a book about it; check out the 15-page Book Preview: http://www.blurb.com/my/book/detail/42997

Just watching the show now…can’t wait to see where this goes!!!

Looks like good matzah.

Speaking of interesting and no so known grape types… and.. a little more friendliness towards former beaten wine regions 🙂 here´s a couple of fantastic reds for you

“Les Eres 2003”, from Celler Joan Simó (Priorat)
“Serrano 2006” from Bodegas Marcelino (VT Sierra Sur de Jaen)

thank you for the internet’s most fantastic, honest and entertaining wineprogram !

Sune !!! (a former lurker from Denmark)

Nice show…signed up for the Pomum mailing list, can’t wait to try the Shya Red (also love shia labeouf movies, Transformer’s rocked!!!)….I would recommend trying some Virginia and Maryland wines….give us some props!!!!

I recommend the 2004 Malbec from Stuart Cellars in Temecula, which is near my home in San Diego, CA.

How about instead of continuosly swirling the poor wine around as if you were trying to make it sparkling.( everything has a limit) 🙂 .. you showed the angel tears… the arches the conisitency, the colour, giving your choosen wine a little ‘ elegance’ and charm…

I’m interested in reading your book and comparing your points of views..

ps ….are there ever any tannins or any body in your reds?

Linda… carry on with your amusing SHOW

Do we get secret prizes for already getting your RSS feed??? 😀

LASSIE BARK!!!

I can’t buy the bloody book yet, it’s not on release in the U.K. until May 18….

QOTD – I recommend Verdejo from Rueda, Nero d’Avola from Sicilia, aged Madeira on the Thunder Show, you taking more vacation, Mott getting his T-shirt, Wine Library going international and WLTV continuing apace.

QOTD: Switching to becoming a Pats fan.

Try the “Dare” from Viader. It’s 1/3 the price and I think 100% Cab Franc.

Third time I’m trying to leave a comment, somehow it always get moderated(??!!). Then to the point, QOTD: Chassela based white from Lutry, Canton de Vaud, Switzerland. Honey flavors with nice crispiness!
