Carmenere. Great choice.

Carmenere was often confused with Merlot for a while. Survived Phylloxera only because it was planted in Argentina and Chile and they called it Merlot for the longest time. The world dodged a bullet on this species that almost got wiped out. I like the taste of it!

Great episode. Got your Conan appearance on Tivo, gonna watch tonight.

I would be so rediculously stoked if I could get a wristband. I may lose sleep over this 🙁

Not big on the carmenere, or really chile in general.

Top something…

I’ve had one w/in the past year, but can’t remember the name. I’m always down for a change and will look for one next time I’m out.

QOTD: Have not had one yet, but will look for one over the $12 price point.

Great Conan show.

QOTD: concho y toro Casillero del Diablo Carménère. I find it totally serviceable and enjoyable

Haven’t had carmenere, but ok ok..I promise to find some (other than those reviewed today)

QOTD – Have not tried one before, but I PROMISE to try at least one or two!

Iâ??ve never had a Carmenere, but I promise to try one, soon.

I have had some Chilean wine but not Carmenere. Thanks for pointing them out to us.

Congrats on yesterday’s book release!! (Already have all 3 wristbands). Great showing on Cramer yesterday – I was looking forward to see how both of your energies worked on camera – think it worked REALLY well. A blast to watch.

QOTD: Just looked at my consumption history on Cellartracker, and it appears I have never had a 100% carmenere bottle. Will promise to try one, hopefully my luck will be better than yours on todays show.

Montes has done some perfectly serviceable Carmenère. I like them a lot, especially since they’re inexpensive and unique, but haven’t had too many lately.

Your shirt totally rules!! I need to get one of those… Speaking of. Have you looked into baseball card prices lately? It’s ridiculous. I thought it was bad enough in the early 90s when there were about 6 different brands, but once EVERYONE started coming out with different “special series” I knew the industry was doomed.. there were like 15 different Fleer series going at once! And at the time, every card in the series was worth $50, when a Don Mattingly rookie card was worth $45. I haven’t picked up a Becket since the early 90s, but I remember even then the first 40 years of baseball cards were like 8 pages long, and the last 5 years was like 20 pages. I’m sure they can’t even publish everything now! But case in point, I remember around 1993 my Upper Deck Ken Griffy Jr. rookie card was worth around $125, and now it’s worth about $25!!! That’s so sad… I also have an autographed Donrus “Rated Rookie” Greg Maddux card that’s worth like $20 🙁

What’s this show about again? Wine? Hmm…

QOTD: 2003 Botalcura Carménère La Porfia Grand Reserve that I got from you guys! 91.6 point average on cellartracker.

QOTD: We found Carmenere a few years ago and have found several that we love as well, so I believe you Gary. The last great one I had was probably a PKNT Carmenere. It wasn’t anything outstanding, but it was solid and I’d drink it again.
