CAN’T WAIT FOR THE 4TH GENERATION WRIST BAND!!!

QOTD: WORST: a soapy, bitter, overly alcoholic Traminer from Alto Adige
BEST: 1997 Joseph Phelps Insignia (SO surprised how fresh and young it tasted!)

Gary,

Great shows. Dolcetto is a superb wine! Can’t wait for the 499 and 500 episodes. Keep up with the good spirits and loyalty to us!!!!!

Renato

Forgot to answer the QOD: Best – Dolcetto D’Alba – Giacomo Fenocchio – 2006; Worst – Rosso di Montalcino – 2005 – Palagetto.

Renato

QOTD best–2000 Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. worst–1998 Dominus Estate

QOTD. Best: 2004 Val delle Rose Morellino di Scansano Riserva. Worst: 2006 Principessa Gavi. It wasn’t a bad wine. It just wasn’t very distinctive, and it didn’t go very well with the meal.

QOTD: The worst was a bottle of 2005 Chardonnay, that went bad (was corked or something). I don’t even want to mention the brand, because it was not their fault. In Israel, and loving on the new Carmel Brut. Inexpensive, light and aromatic. Had 2 bottles of that this past weekend.

Yo G, sounded like Ya was talkin’ from da Bottom of a Well (with da
“new microphone technology”)………..

QOTD: Best – Domaine Weinbach Cuvee Theo Gewurztraminer 2003 Yaaaaaaaaa-
uuuuuuuummmyyyyy!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Worst – Williams Selyem Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2002 Harsh & Austere
🙁

Have not had Dolcetto yet, and thank you for the idea!

QOTD: This past weekend I broke out a wine I was given in 2002-it was a 1999 Vigneto Gallina Barbaresco (La Spinetta). It was terrific, and was the best of the ones I had this weekend, and for a long time for that matter–the worst I had was a 2005 Pinot Grigio (Vista Del Mar)-I normally am very open with whites, but this wasn’t a favorite of mine.

QOTD: Best wine is so hard to answer because I’m so eclectic and moody about what I like. In general I prefer old world to new world, funky funk to fruity fruit but who knows really. The first time I had a 1989 Chateauneuf it blew my mind. Worst? Why remember?

QOTD: Best wine: 2005 Aglianico del Taburno (La Rivolta)
Fattoria La Rivolta, Aglianico del Taburno, Campania, Italy 2005

Worst, didnt have a worst. Other selections were great. 2nd runner up was:
2007 Falanghina (Fontanavecchia), Fontanavecchia, Falanghina, Taburno, Campania, Italy, 2007

Both from Wine Authorities in Durham, NC. Great place, great selections.

BEST 1990 POMMARD clos des epeneaux

WORST home made from a friend

keep up the great episode’s

QOTD: I actually didn’t have any wine last weekend. I know! I’ve got some ground to make up.

On a full blown american holiday I had a lovely Klinker Brick Zin. It brought thunder if not fireworks.

QOTD – Best wine was the Peachy Canyon Zinfandel. Didn’t have a worst wine because that was the only wine that I had this weekend…Lot’s of beer though.

Best wine was a 2004 Reserve Rex Hill Pinot Noir from Oregon while I sat outside in Hamilton NJ watching the excellent fireworks show in Veteran’s Park. The worst was a 1994 Jadot Beaujolais that was just too old.

Thanks for the Link it Up Mott T-shirt link; the kids were looking for this for Father’s day but couldn’t find it; but my BD is coming up!

Best wine of the weekend was Pretty Sally Cabernet…WONDERFUL!!!

gary,

lose the mic, it doesnt add anything to the show exept for gross noise when you taste ….

Drop the mic – sound is flat or something .. odd … like black socks in scandals

There’s something very wrong with the mic. Too much gain? Maybe needs to be a little lower on the shirt? Sounds like Gary is speaking through an empty cardboard TP roll. Other than that, keep up the ree-donk-u-lous work.

Hi guys! I agree with Ben and Chris about the mic. I was a DJ and sound engineer before becoming a psychologist, and I can’t stand the new mic. It sounds overloaded like the gain is too high or the mic is just too sensitive for Gary’s big voice and commanding projection. It actually sounded much better before. You’re breaking up, and I can’t stand distorted audio!

Yep great show, nasty mic 😉

QOTD: Best = El “8” Vinya del Vuit, Priorato – transcendent. Worst = Heidi Schrock Burgenland – just awful.

Great new look for the site – but I miss being able to see your tweets w/o going to Twitter.

The new wristband is beyond awesome – hope I get one!!! I bought the book early and almost always comment on every episode, so my fingers are crossed.

Good luck w/#500 tonight!! 🙂

The new wristband is saweet! I wish one of my kids would have purchased the book on Fathers day.

QOTD. The best was the 2005 Saumur, Domaine Guiberteau. A Loire Cab Franc that we had at a restaurant in Montreal. Spectacular! The worst, as expected, was some wine we had at a winery just north of Montreal. It’s just too cold up there!

Nice I am looking forward to trying a Dolcetto. Worst wine I has over the 4th of July happenings was a pinot Grigio Yellowtail.. Ugh! I had about a half a glass and that was that . On the other hand I tried a Cahors Clos La Coutale 03′. 80%malbec and 20 % Merlot. Very tasty with fancy burgers. I dig the sniffy sniff wrist band. This probably not the place to address this, but what the heck. I have sent my copy of my receipt of the book 3 times nice from early March to the specific book e-mail and have never received my shipping code? I can always send it again..

Anyhow, good show. I could also probably use a little exrtra time for the shipping code anyway because I plan on getting aprox. 3 cases..
