Gary, I JUST got your book delivered to me! This was not a good idea having it shipped to work… It’s going to taunt me all day – “read me, read me, read me! you want some thunder? you know you want to READ ME!”

QOTD: The last chardonnay was a Rully actually. 2004 Chateau de Rully Blanc. Nice little white Burgundy. 🙂

QOTD:It was Fetzer, which they sell in our commissary here. (Where you can chose from a selection of about 10 wines).

Whats up with the 3 min show?…you got the “runs”, hot date or chasing
( o )( o )?…that pin was worth it(UFC style)..great show

’06 Martinelli Charles Ranch the last couple of days…its nice but a little short on the finish.

QOTD: The Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2005 from J. Moreau & Fils. Great acidity, refreshing even. Went very well with fish!

qotd: ’05 Louis Jadot St Aubin … I thought it was a pretty good example of white Burgundy for the price.

Four Vines Naked Chard. Tasty.

QOTD:
I had a St Veran ‘La Grande Buisserie’ from Olivier Merlin, it was delicious.
Exceptional value at £13.00 approx $25

2003 Stag’s Leap – the butter bandit made a major appearance.

QOTD: Alamos Chard, Argentina, price under $8 bones. Very serviceable, and tasty

I great bottle of Longoria Chard that I broke out for my colleague’s bday

It was a fabulous grower’s NV Blanc de Blancs, which is technically a Chard, so I guess that’s my answer.

2003 Ceja Chardonnay; not over oaked, great acid, golden and delicious

QOTD: Kuleto Estate Chardonnay. A pretty interseting one. This Chardonnay is a mountain grown Chardonnay from the mountains on the east side of the Napa Valley.

QOTD: 2005 J. Lohr Arroyo Seco Chard – was very nice. Touch of vanilla, not over-oaked.

Like the widely available format but lets keep it balanced. I personally think these should only be covered every 4-5 episodes.

GV – Awesome stuff. I replayed “the move” a number of times. QOTD – Yalumba Chard – very nice – no rules broken – and $9.

QOTD: 2006 Vire Clesse â??Maconâ? Domaine Chazelles. A nice, crisp, stainless barreled white burgundy.

Gary good episode….i have read about 1/4 of your book and i love it.

QOTD:
-Grgich Hills and it was awesome!!!!

I poached chicken in orange juice and La Crema chardonnay last night.

Another really good show! I used to drink a lot of Acacia, but have not had any in recent years. I will have try to get a bottle of the Acacia A. I am a member of the Chalone Wine Club, so maybe I can find it there. I was thrilled that you found 3 inexpensive Chardonnays that were not eaten up by the Oak Monster…hopefully this is a sign of change.

QOTD: I drink quite a bit of Chardonnay. My last bottle was last night: a 1999 Mount Eden Estate Chardonnay.

QOTD – Robert Mondavi Private Selection California Chardonnay 2006 – was one of the better Chard’s I’ve had in a long time, at this price.

Gary. Got your book yesterday. Your personality jumps out from the lines like an ambush waiting to happen. Pounce! I called Borders where I bought the book to start the ball rolling on how to attract a division of Vayniacs to the venue. It’s the store located just south of I-275 on Dale Mabry Highway. 813-874-5722. Evidently they have a coordinator that oversees approx 15 stores or so in the central Florida region. The clerk said that usually the publisher might handle book-signings, appearances, et al.
Anyway, it looks like it will require networking with a lot of other wine lovers and pull together.
Slainte.
