Great show gary, the pomum red looked awesome. i recommend this wine from la mancha in spain quixote merlot,tempranillo, petite verdot. it is by a winery called pago casa del blanco. it is fantastic.

The first book should definitely be given to someone in your family. Maybe to your wife and Gary junior. Maybe the second one to someone’s favorite charity. Could bring a bunch of money for a good cause.

Why not try the new Mer Soleil silver unoaked chardonnay?

What a neat show. That matzah looks like papadums (Indian). Recc? Uh, plant your corn early. No, stay sweet.

QOTD: Fenestra’s 2005 Alvarelhao from their Silverspoons Vineyard in Lodi, CA.

QOTD: The Stump Hump, i just tired this south Australian wine, it was awesome!

QOTD: Give a shout-out to the Midwestern wineries who are doing some good stuff. Oliver Winery near Indianapolis (Bloomington, IN), is a fine example of a very under appreciated wine maker. This country has so much to offer and it would be great to see some of the smaller wineries get some recognition on your show. If you want to sample some of their wine, hit me up and I will send some your way.

I love a new Washington state find. Good Friday G-Man.

QOTD: I recommend Tandem wines and just about anything else coming from Greg LaFollete. He’s an incredible winemaker, and viticulturist. Please please put’em on a show.

Hello Chuck….great shows lately…liked the Brown Chick…very cool….Just saw a website and a mock draft….the Jets took Jonathon Stewart..another Oregon Duck like Clemens in the second round….great kid….big back that is super fast…you will enjoy him….Here’s a suggestion…you will do most anything…You eat dirt for Chris sakes….sample wine from the JETS spit bucket…sorta your own blend…Come ON Chuck…go for it! I will check you out when you come to Oregon for a book signing….

QOTD: I recommend hot dog, tortilla, and cheese. Delicious!!! You broil or grill the hot dog, slice it in two lengthwise and put it on a tortilla, lay down some sharp cheddar, broil til the cheddar melts, pour on some hot sauce, and you are in heaven. I’m going home to eat 3 of those right now. YUM!!

qotd Rosenblum Heritage Clones Petit Sirah

Any Sea Smoke Pinot. Hoard them before Kris Curran leaves.
Can Blau Monstant, 2005.

2006 Burrowing Owl Pinot Gris from Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada. It kicks ass and could go head to head with Oregon Pinot Gris any day.

nice matzah episode!
QOTD: have more Jewish food pairings (Latkes? Kreplach?)

QOTD: I recommend you have more guests. Yesterday’s guest had a great personality that really perked up the show. Also, it’s interesting to see what a less experienced person sniffs and tastes vs you because they’re probably more like me.

My wife, both dogs and I like the 2005 Cabernet sauvignon and the 2005 chardonnay that was aged in stainless steal. They were made by The Winery at Eagle Knoll. The winery has changed it’s name to Wood River Cellars, the managment and the person that makes the wine has all changed (what ever you call that person). So, I don’t know how things are going to be.

QOTD: For a show, I would suggest a beer and cheese pairing episode. After all, beer is the better accompaniment to cheese (this according to many cheese mongers and Janet Fletcher, cheese expert/author, WINE drinker, and wife of a wine maker.

QOTD: Water 2 Wine Sweet Chianti

great little winery in austin. keep up the great work.

oh and yall desperately NEED mcfadden!

Greets from Seattle; we miss you already, man! Oh yeah, you want a recommendation, so here’s one of the most surprising wines I’ve tasted since I was just a kid, sipping Mogen David with the family at the end of the week back in the ’60s: St Julian Michigan Light Solera Cream Sherry, made in that wine capitol of the world, Paw Paw, MI. Made of 100% Niagara, a grape from which you’d expect the wine to taste like stale Jelly Babies at best. But this stuff is heaven, straight up, the best sherry from outside of Spain. Zero foxiness that I can detect, though it’s a mystery how they can achieve it. I actually mail-ordered a case direct from Paw Paw! You want a more conventional recommendation? How about Facelli Winery’s Columbia Valley Merlot? I’ve been drinking Lou Facelli’s wines almost since he first opened up shop in Woodinville (home of Chateau St Michelle) more than 20 years ago. Of all his wines, it’s his merlots that are to die for. I haven’t tried the current releases yet, but he’s been batting 1.000 for so long that I’d be startled if the streak doesn’t continue.

Thanks for your recommendation of the Segals reserve Cab for Seder. It was great.
I know you love tea, so I recommend this teapot: http://www.sorapot.com/

I recommend a 2000 Chateau La Nerthe Chateauneuf-du-Pape. I am sorry I drank mine without checking that it tripled in price from the time I bought to the time I drank and it was awesome.

Loved the huge pour at the end, you just gotta some days.

Qotd. I know a book that would bring you out of your seat laughing..Motherless Brooklyn. Try it.

Fantastic show. I want to go to Washington!

QOTD: I recommend the U’s own Calais Campbell or Kenny Philips. Call up the Jets–I know you can make it happen.

GV … you have got to get your hands on some Nini Negri “5 Stelle” Sfurzato from Valtellina in Lombardy. It is a passito-style wine made from 100% Nebbiolo and it seriously bring the thunder with its powerful fruit and charming elegance.

QotD: Masi Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese Ripasso 2004. I thought that was a brilliant wine for the price.
