Ah, I also tried a Luigi Bosco La Linda wine this past weekend @ tasting – was the Reserva Malbec, yeah, was a bit more $ but good also.
The Oak Monster t-shirt was awesome – great design.
Barbara’s Shredded Spoonfuls and 5 others, rotating.

Good job GeeVee … as usual. You are very fun to watch!
QOTD: Homemade granola baby! That way you know exactly what’s in it!

verrrry excited go out and pick up la linda..

QOTD: Kashi, Cinnamon Harvest

Peanut Butter Puffins, always straight out of the box, no milk

So Argentina can do tempranillo? Tight. QOTD: plain cherrios

Spooners! Well….MINI-Spooners anyway…

I haven’t tried La Linda Tempranillo yet, but frankly I am NOT surprised at all. Over the past year, I have become a hu-you-you-YOUge fan of Argentina. I’m telling ya, these days, for the CKCers, or for the PAPKICCers like me (Paying Alimony Plus Two Kids In College Crowd), Argentina is WHERE IT’S AT. How many times do I have to mention Vina Antigua’s red (50% Bonarda, 50% Sangiovese), the BEST $5 wine you will ever find. I have 6 different friends who after trying it, asked me for a case of it – you should test it yourself.

QOTD: I always mix 2-4 different cereals together in a big Rubbermaid bulk container. Right now, I think my mix is a blend of Kellogg’s Smart Start, Post’s multigrain BlueBerry Morning, Post’s Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, and Giant Store’s house (generic) brand of Granola. Cuz when it comes to cereal, I’m like a Bordeaux wine blender, trying to achieve the ultimate balance of all the different cereal varietals.

QOTD: Wheat Chex

QOTD: Wheat Chex

Gotta try this grape. Thanks Gary.

QOTD: Corn Flakes

COOL!! Looks like I will get to meet you in the SF area book tour.

QOTD: Eating Post Selects. I really like the one with the cranberries in it. All about trying new things though. I can’t stick with the same cereal for very long. I wish there were as many cereals as there are wines.

QOTD: Honey Bunches of Oats Plain and Peach mixed together…very tasty.

Piper’s Pit was the S…..no doubt.

QOTD:Fruit Loops.

QOTD: Cinnamon Toast Crunch FTW!

QOTD: Cinnamon Toast Crunch FTW!

steel cut oats with walnuts and raisins…. thanks for the ridunculis comment… I love it

Great Show Gary!

QOTD: No cereal. Haven’t had cereal in a while. Last one was german muesli.

Rice Krispies.

FYI: In canada their called rockets cos Smarties are another candy.

I hate cereal. I like Tempranillo. Thanks.

QOTD: Raisin Bran

QOTD – I’m a steel cut oats kind of guy, but when I eat cold cereal it’s usually Post Selects with bananas. The pecan one is pretty good too.

QOTD: When I do eat cereal it is mainly oatmeal. I try to eat healthy (key word is try)

I’m very happy you came upon the La Linda–this is a wine my wife and I fell in love with in Argentina, where it was featured in one of the high end restaurants in the Palermo Chico section of Buenos Aires, Social Paraiso. While it’s not a ‘showy’ wine, I feel it drinks like many solid Argentine reds and it seduces you in a quiet way. Since Luigi Bosca’s La Linda line has other kinds of reds-malbec, pinot noir, cabernet, I’d really be curious what you thought those were like and if you could review them as well.

FWI-if you want to sound like a true ‘porteno(Buenos Aires city dude), the double L in Argentina is pronounced like a soft g, “eegh”, as in Tempran–ee–sho.

Fun show….

Hey Gary! I’m thrilled to see such good marks for the Tempranillo! It gives me validation for the handful of California Reds I’ve picked up in recent years, which I’ve just started trying out (they’ve each had VERY similar characteristics to what you found in this one).

P.S. I was at the Meadowlands Arena for that taping when Andre challenged Hulk for the title on that Piper’s Pit you referenced! What a bombshell!
