I’m going to have recommend some Central Cali vino’s.

The first is from a young winemaker who is actually an engieering student:
Ovene Winery, Pinot Noir Solomon Hills Vineyard.

The second is anything from Calera. They make some very interesting wines and sometimes use some odd varietals in low production stuff.

Haven’t gotten to watch this ep until Monday, so it’s probably too late to be in the drawing…

Bevlamo Muscato d’Asti. (Think that’s right…)

The Wife and I buy this from the local Sam’s Club for about 12-14 bones and LOVE it. Very sweet, very light.
Just curious to see what a REAL wine drinker would think of it…

Thanks for all you do, GaryVee. You’re an inspiration…

I recommend you and Mott walk around the Wine Lib…and you randomly pick bottles to taste. Maybe a different section each time? (and stop by the gourmet area and grab some cheeses while you’re at it!)

GV – Here’s some recommendations that drink well (at least in the “Pacific Time Zone”). For value the Whitestone Winery “Pieces of Red” blend is a winner. For a really interesting experience try the Zanzibar Cellars “Sandra” blend; an Oregon winery sourcing Horse Heaven Hills (WA) fruit and using the Owen Roe facilities – really intense fruit and heavy, creamy mouthfeel.

QOTD: Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Just catching up on this one. not sure its appropriate to leave a recomendation other than try new things and I dont know what you have had.

Ill say a Miner Family Viogner for white

most of my favorite reds you have had (Zardini Valpolichella Classico Superiore, Seoquia Grove cab 2004 etc…) So I will say Castello De Abola 2003 Chianti Riserva. Went to the winery in tuscany and had a wonderfull experience.

QOTD: I’d have to recommend the kimchee fried rice at Daisy Mint in Pasadena, CA. But consider yourself warned… you eat this once and you’ll have cravings for it again within a week.

QOTD: 2003 Villa Creek Cellars The Avenger (Paso Robles Syrah)…….KILLER! but very hard to get your hands on from what I’ve found.

Gary, I think I have recommended this wine to you before, it is a Greek wine: Skouras Megas Oenos 2004, Cab and St. George.

Still waiting for that Greek wine show, any updates?

Huge shout out to Pittsburgh! I love it!

QOTD: The 2006 Makulu Pinotage Rose & Washington Hills 2006 Late Harvest Riesling

QOTD – You already tried on WLTV a few Israeli wines (usually high quality Kosher ones). Here is one that is a non-Kosher Israeli and a MUST try – Margalit Cab 2004.

QOTD: Have A Baby Boy

A little late to watch, but still good.
QOTD I recommend that you keep up the good work and nice look on V Gholston for the Jets

I recommend the 2006 Chateau Grand Cassagne Rose. $5 makes this a simple, well balanced Rhone rose that is a great QPR–I went back and bought 2 more bottles (and I never do that)!

Cheers

QOTD – I recommend 2007 Gazela Vinho Verde, Portuguese “green” wine. Very crisp, light and fruity, great spring wine with fresh greens or fish.

(First time watching, apologies if it’s been suggested before)

Dude, only 366 comments and a free book is on the line. Seriously. Anyway maybe that means my chances are better, even if I am too late for the drawing, LOL.

QOTD – We drink and enjoy BR Cohn Silver Label Cab all the time. Although I have to give you props for Colonia Las Liebres Bonarda – at 5 bones that wine is a steal, and I have been stealing a lot.

GV wow I get to recomend a wine for you!!! AWESOME… Ok Souverain Merlot from the Alexander Valley… Butterscotch for days…

QOTD: Take a vacation…

I’m really liking anything from Runquist in CA right now. Yeah, baby Oak Monster lives there but this stuff is the king of all things “well integrated”.

QOTD: There’s a lot of interesting stuff going on in VA wine. I remember the show you did on VA wines, and I didn’t recognize any of them.

A few things around here I find interesting you might reconsider in VA wine are:
–Veritas Kenmar: a powerfully floral dessert wine
–Any vineyards Cab Franc and Viognier: grapes that have done well in this climate/geography and are staples of the area
–Barboursville Octagon: top notch bordeaux style blend
–Barboursville Nebbiolo: powerful varietal that was great with Christmas dinner last year

Gary I easily reccomend the Seguin Gevrey Chambertin Signature 2005. Priced @ 40 bones, and really bringing the elegant thunder. Tell me if you pick up on the venison marrow, as that’s what interested me about the wine.

I’m going to have to say The Bridgeview 2006 â??Blue Moonâ? Pinot Noir. I had two bottles of this at dinner one night and loved it.

Gary: I am a big fan of the 2004 Napa Valley “Fourteen” Meritage. It is a monster of a wine, and damn delicious. I was fortunate enough to get to taste it through the restaraunt I work for – great stuff! Thats what I would recommend for you!
