QOTD – I am heading over to Paris for the week. I hope to expand my palette rather extensively while there.

Cheers!

QOTD: Hanging out with my girlfriend’s family all day Friday – 4th of July parade and Fireworks; out on the boat w/ my family all day Saturday, can’t wait!

Saw you on CW11 this morning, Gary… nice appearance!

QOTD: Preparing the syllabus for my summer class, a cookout with friends, maybe fireworks on the National Mall here in DC, art galleries, cooking, good times, and good wine.

I LOVE BOEDECKER!!! I’m so happy you do too. I love Oregon Pinot’s in general, Scott Paul, Boedecker, Domaine Serene……there are so many amazing winemakers down there.

Great seeing you in Seattle. I haven’t stayed up that late in such a long time.

QOTD: gardening, grilling, swimming (warmth permitting), sipping rose!

God Luden’s are good. I have been known to pick those over a candy bar.

QOTD: Block party with some guys from the team.

Gary & Mott- Another SUPERB ep!!!!
🙂

Gary-QOTD: We are already on vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My whole family is in the mountains at a lake. We have already been to The Biltmore Estate, Ghost Town, Historic Waynesville and Historic Dillsboro. As per usual, Biltmore was fantastic!! We have had great weather that is not too hot!!! Good to enjoy a vacation for the 4th of July!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope everyone has a super 4th!!!!!! 🙂

QOTD: Gary, I’m going to hang out with friends, watch some fireworks, and just do it up big. A great friend and I are planning on opening our first Chateauneuf du Pape, and I’m really looking forward to that.

Wow, loved the episode, although I don’t know what to think now, having paid over $40 at nearly every vineyard we went to in Oregon. I’m not disappointed, really, because those were all estate reserve Pinot’s that I could not obtain anywhere else, but to hear you say you feel the price point should be $30 for a great experience, has made me optimistic I can find some more reasonably priced Pinot’s in DC.

Have a great 4th of July!

Hanging out with my son and daughter in law an the expected new baby, BBQ and lots of wine but none for her. Some fireworks watching. Little baseball. What you expect for 4th of July. I would love to get some of the Boedeker Stewart Pinot. Sounds like its right up my alley.

Nice show, great opening letter. I’ll be checking out that Boedecker for sure.

I’m sending the kids to Grandma’s so I can spend the holidays exploring wines in the Sierra Foothills and Lodi. Highlight is sure to be BBQ@TO!

Wow… you said Oregon correctly I think every single time… almost brings a tear to my eye. :~) Nice, I’ll have to go pick up the Boedecker. 2006 was just too warm in Oregon and it made everything too alchoholic and everything tasted the same (very forward). 2005 was, and 2007 should be, a much better vintage (despite what Parker tells us).

QOTD: I’m flying down to California to go backpacking in the Emigrant Wilderness for 7 days with some of my closest friends from college. Can’t wait! One is turning 30, so he’s freaking out. Time for some nature action away from the city!

Reading some Declaration of Independence and drinking some Pinot.

The amount of high quality PN coming out of OR continues to amaze me.

QOTD: Not sure what we’re doing, but it will be an all family, all weekend affair.

Qotd: Spending the weekend in Brooklyn with My Brother and Sister in-law, life is awesome! “grenache dipped cherries”?..I’ll assume you meant “ganache dipped cherries”. I also like the MK references, Baraka was awesome.

I get very nervous when I see you doing Pinot Noir. I have to look at the list of wines first.

Great show. Lemelson’s forte is in the higher end. I have been to that winery. It is stunning. No expense was spared building it.

Oregon Pinot’s. I love them. I have been to OPC, INPC and visited more then 40 of them. Of course DDO is my favorite (commercial post) and Cloudline for the money. I am a big fan of Argyle despite what they did to us. 🙂

This weekend, getting my house ready to sell. Working hard during the day and drinking some great wines at night.

Happy 4th..

Great show. Absolutely 100% on the money w/ the Oregon pinot call. The really good ones are a steal compared to their Burgundy counterparts.

QOTD: I’ll be takin the folks up to friend’s camp for cookout and illegal fireworks display

QOTD: Probably going to the marina for the fireworks show.

No “Big Ass Glass?” It’s designed for pinot noir for goodness’ sake!

QOTD: I’ll probably be drinking beer at my desk watching TV.

QOTD: Going camping/kayaking in the Sierras, its going to rock to get away from all the craziness in town.

Haven’t commented in forever… you guys need to ship to Nevada again! Everyone else is doing it… its the cool thing to do!

Nice letter!
QOTD: Cookout friday, fireworks Saturday, wine with BOTH

QOTD: Selling my 94 Camaro.

heading down to Jersey (I live in Boston), stopping by Wine Lib to pick up a bunch of wine and then heading down to the shore to celebrate my moms 60th b-day!!!!! Happy birthday Mom! You’re the best!

QOTD: My husband is in Moldova right now, so I will be hanging with a old friend I havn’t see for awile.

I read about a wine glass at Bed, Bath, and Beyond that sounds cool. It is pourous and aerates your wine while it is in the glass. Really? Maybe you could do a little comparison i.e. decant and glass aerate the same wine see what you get. We decant a lot of stuff, but sometimes we don’t want the whole bottle at once.
