    Gary- I am not a lurker………………………but where’s the beef?????????????

  • Jake B

    Nope, never heard of Lagrein. I’m not sure how easy it’ll be to find one here in Melbourne. There’s one place that specialises in importing Italian produce and wines, so they’re probably the best bet. I’ll keep an eye open for them next time I’m there, as well as Gavis!

    Never heard of Lagrein. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

  • CommanderCody

    Never heard of Lagrein, but I will certainly be “lurking” for one next time I’m out shopping for bottles.
    Speaking of lurking, I just started watching the “Thunder show” last month, and I’m HOOKED! Hopefully you can pull more of us out today for some comments.

    Great Show!

    If those of us also in “Mott’s era” can get off our duffs and type a comment, so can all you “Gary’s era” youngsters! 🙂

  • QOTD: Never heard of it before GV. I’m super pumped to try some new varietal that I’ve never heard of! There’s so much I need to learn about Italian wines.

    Speaking of “nerdy” wines, I had the 2006 Castell Roig Xarel-lo tonight and it was awesome! I love it…thanks for the rec!

    And we’ve had some lurkers come out, but where are the rest? We all want a show tmrw guys!!!

    So, what happened to the explanation about the blind cab tasting show? Some of us are still dying to find out what the wines were…

    QotD: Never had a Lagrein. I’ll have a look next time I go wine shopping.

    I must admit I’ve never even heard of Lagrein, but it does sound quite intriguing…I promise to try one soon. I love your show even though I might be what you call a lurker though I do watch every episode of WLTV. Keep it up!

    OK, I’m a lurker and you outed me today. No I’ve not had a Lagrein but just checked at K and L here in SF and they do carry some, although the good ones seem a little out of my price range.

    Anyway, thanks for all the show Gary, keep it going!

  • QOTD – Lagrein is news to me, but I am still learning. Maybe one of these days I will know more about wine than Gary….lol…

    I wan’t to buy the De Silva so that I can smell this poop you are talking about. I also want to drink old world wines to see how different they are.

    Thanks GV!

    Hey Gary, you wanted a lurker, here I am! Lagrein sounds darn interesting, none at my local stores, next time I’m out and about I’ll have to find some though.

  • Lagrine is something that, while we have never heard of, we will soon be bringing the thunder with. Any wine that goes with ribs is right up our alley and we’re on it like white on rice! Go GaryV!

    Oh, and a variety of t-shirts are en route! We’re also calling Vayniacs Rick and Kathleen down at the Kennedy Space Center to get them to get ya’ll some fresh NASA duds! Rick, of course, was the dude with the Jets jersey at the last open house on WLTV!

    Cantina La Vis Dipinti Lagrein, that I found in a West Des Moines wine shop that ain’t around anymore. Oddly enough, they carry the Trentino pinot (which sucks) locally, but not the lagrein (which didn’t).

    QOTD: Only had the Heartland Dolcetto Lagrein blend, which is made by Ben Glaetzer here in South Australia. Have not had any straight Lagrein but it’s on my to do list.

    Still waiting on the blind cabs episode explanation!

    qotd: i’ve never had a lagrein, but judging from your reviews its I need to try one of them. their flavor profiles seem right up my alley.

  • Hey Gar, what’s up with the Nebraska farm reference? Just an fyi there are actual cities in the state, not just farmland. QOTD: never have heard of Lagrein. And thanks to Kristen for inspiring me to post a comment today.

  • Strykette

    Never had a Lagrein, so I don’t have anything good to say… But don’t stop the Show!!!
