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).

Answer to the profound QOD: Frosted Mini-Wheats

JPL

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!

QOTD: Cocoa puffs: awesome when I was a kid, and they still rock now that I’m 47. Gotta love slurping up the chocolate milk when you’re done with the bowl 🙂

No surprise on the La Linda. I am super impressed with the quality of what I’ve been drinking out of Argentina and Chile. South American wines are some of the best QPRs in the wine world right now.

Hmm, what cereal am I eating? That’s a pretty zooey QOTD, but the answer is that lately I’ve been radically into hot barley. I ran through like a pound of rolled barley earlier this month, which was so good, I ran out & bought a pound of unrolled hulled barley a day or two ago. I’ll have it with some skim milk, grade B maple syrup, maybe some slivered almonds, and maybe some slices of those teeny-tiny little bananas you see at the really cool vegetable stands these days. That probably wouldn’t go well with Tempranillo though. 8>)) Which reminds me that I haven’t been drinking many Spanish reds for the past couple of years; time to stock up on ’em & refresh the old palate about their unique qualities.

I’m a big fan of Tempranillo, thanks for bringing it out. QOTD: there’s only one cereal I eat.. Frosted Flakes.

I’m so stoked you made this episode. I had asked for a tempranillo episode several days ago and I’m not sure whether or not you saw the comment or I was making a good prediction. I think it’s a very underrated varietal and I’m glad you gave it some love and the central coast of cali is putting out some great immigrant varietals.

qotd, cheerios. that’s right, cheerio’s

Count Chocula!

Raisin Brand Crunch with skim milk. No longer a lurker Gary.

55 points and no J-E-T-S reference ?? Surely there’s a lineback that fits that #….do you only know the offensive team ? 😉

good show thanks GV

QOTD: Captain crunch

Banana Nut Crunch!

QOTD: Weetabix

Looks like I need to seek out the Arzuaga. A wine that “bad” needs to be catalogued on my pal.

Honey Bunches of Oats…got the secret pack…can’t wait

QQOTD: Strawberry Yogurt Cheerios. I’m a yogurt nut.

I see you’re coming to Costco in Edison at the end of May, that’s so cool.

PS. what’s up with facebook huh?

Love Tempranillo! When are you coming to the midwest? Minneapolis?

Gotta be Fruity Pebbles!

I’m koo-koo! for Coco-puffs!!

Capn’ Crunch Berries

Great show, spain has some of the best deals around even with a weak dollar.

QOTD: Strawberry Fields Kashi, great stuff.

QOTD; Raisin bran crunch.
I loved the passion, good show, thanks for the free entertainment.

QOTD: That would be cherrios with berries
SQOTD: Ah…no

Thanks for teaching me about another wine varietal I didn’t know about….

This show really brought the thunder!!

QOTD: Grapenuts.

QOTD1: You should try a few drops of rose water in water, it’s quite a different taste and pretty refreshing in the summer time!

QOTD2: The cereal I’m eating right now is Kellogs special K and CAPTAIN CRUNCH!

Got corn flakes and bran flakes and special K in cupboard. If I want to go 100 % varietal, I’ll have cereal from just one box for breakfast. If I want to get fancy and blend, I’ll mix — which I usually do.

If I eat cereal it is Cheerioâ??s or Grate nuts and sometimes Caption crunch, am eating a sausage, egg, biscuit.
