I have WLTV wristbands (all three of them) coming out the wazoo!

Don’t remember the last one. I still check daily for that Vina Chocolan Grand Reserve to become available.

Nice Show and You were GREAT on Conan GV…

Qotd: I haven’t tried Carmenere before, but I PROMISE to add one to my next mix case…

QOTD: The last one that I remember was from Colvin, out of Walla Walla. It was a while ago, but I remember it being pretty good.

An idea… You should have a mini American flag under your table so you can have that in one hand with your 2X4 (the over-oaked wine) in the other to really represent Hacksaw JD.

Good show.

Cool show.

QOTD: never had one but I promise to try.

I promise…if I can find one this weekend.

Great show Gary!

My last Carmenere was a Concha Y Toro, but I had a little more luck with it than you did (it was a Casillero del Diablo lable). From the sounds of things, it was like an imaginary mix between the Errazuriz (defintiely oaked) and the conha y toro (a little green) you tried today…

The last Carmenere I had was the Natura 2006 vintage and I liked it quite a bit. I’ve been looking for others to try but unfortunately, the wine selection in my part of the world is pretty laughable and WL can’t ship to TN 🙁

QOTD: Can’t remember, I think it was a blend though.

QOTD: I think it was Santa Digna.

Hi Gary i try the frontera also but 2006 very hollow wine but drinkable, and my last one was also from concha y toro but casillero del diablo reserva 2006, great wine y put it in the 85-89 category.

Nice show, i would like to see more from south america, i’m from venezuela.

By the way i’m buying your book, i think the search inside in amazon was a hit.

the 04 Terrunyo Peumo carmenere, and oh you will love it!!!

QOTD… Casillero del Diablo is the only one I have tried. I enjoyed it and look forward to trying others.

Just received note that the book was shipped today – Amazon. Can’t wait to get both as one will be a gift with a bottle of vino for a friends house warming.

QOTD – never had a carmenere but promise to try one this weekend.

QOTD: Concho Y Toro Casillero del Diablo Carménère. . . enjoyed it alot. About $11 per bottle (if I recall correctly), with hints of chocolate, tobacco and blackberry.

qotd – the only one I’ve had was the Concha Y Toro…blah, I can still taste it

QOTD – I have never had a carmenere but after to reaction to the veg flavors in the Concha Y Toro Carmenere I have to seek it out just to experience it.

P.S. Nice work on TV in the last week. Informative and hilarious!

The last Carmenere I had was by Origin which is an Albertson’s house brand. It was a 2004 and wasn’t bad. I liked it enough to purchase 2 more bottles which are stored at home. Other Carmeneres I have are 2005 Vina Requingua Puerto Viejo Reserve, Concha y Toro Casillero del Diablo, Hacienda Altavina which is a Fresh & Easy brand.

I have never tried a Carmenere, but next time I’m out buying wine I will likely seek out and try a bottle.

Also, I’m waiting on your autographed book to arrive from Woot! Gary, have you got all 1000 books signed yet?

QOTD:
Having one tonight along with a Malbec,,, It’s South American Wines at the Eau Claire Cork and Swirl Club!!! Join us!

Sry, we have Wine Wednesday meetings,,, not Thirsty Thursdays….

didnt have a 100% carmenere yet, but recently had this mapu.. a cab sauv and carmenere blend.. baron Philippe de Rothschild .. Chile.. major pazzz.. didnt even finish the bottle.

The last Carmanere I had was the Colores del Sol. A modestly priced wine that was enjoyable.

I can’t say as I remember but will put it on the list of things to do.
Where does that “Oak Monster” come from, BTW? The barrel, the chemistry set or
the terroir? The oaks growing on the land?

Promise.
