I loved the old school french background, you shoulda dressed up like Sir. Gary Vaynerchuk. Thanks also for talking about the importance of family- thats why I watch WLTV (the wine info is pretty cool too;).
QOTD: A couple years back I had the pleasure to drink two bottles of 1989 Chateau Lynch-Bages (it was one of those moments when things just click and life is wonderful) I was also recently given a bottle of 1990 Montrose as a gift and I caress it everynight before I go to sleep, lol. Will probably open it in the next year after my first child is born.

QOTD: I guess I can not comment on this one. Dammit! 🙂

I’ve never had a mature Bordeaux. I have had, about 3-4 years ago, the 1997 Chateau Margaux and it was the best Bordeaux I have ever had. Being a less heralded vintage, I found the wine to be drinking wonderfully when I had it. I’ve had a more mature Brunello, which I loved, so I do look forward to someday trying more wines that have spent 10+ years in the bottle.

QOTD: I think it may have been an 82 Talbot, but I’d have to go back and think about it.

Nice show, love the setting; really diggind this Bordeaux series.

QOTD: 1982 Chateau Le Pontet, yum.

I like the backdrop Gary…maybe it’s time to remodel the WL?

I wish I could answer the QOTD, but I haven’t had anything older than 1995. Oh well, something to plan for I guess.

Cheating a little cause we haven’t had it yet, but a friend recently invited us to share a 1986 Chateau Lafite Rothschild. Parker rated it 99 and WS rated it 96, so if it isn’t the best I ever had, I’m going to be very disappointed.

Top 20…Woo Hoo!

QOTD – 1981 Cheval Blanc

Good show!
Where was it shot? Is it in one of the chateaux??

QOTD: 1982 Pavillon Rouge, Chateau Margaux’s 2nd wine….

QOTD: I’ve never had a mature Bordeaux.

In our wine storage unit, our wines range from 2001-2007. An exception is a 1990 Dom Perignon.

QOTD: Nope. =/

Another grand one, gary.

Very helpful show. For me this one really brings home your point about trusting my own palate. I almost always prefer Margaux to Latour. But, at an auction when given the choice between these two 1988’s, I let Parker’s rating steer me towards the Latour. So I ended up with a lot that is pretty good instead of one that might have been really darn good.

Great episode, but is there anyway I could convince you to stop with the “what do scores matter, trust your palate” mantra. We get it already. And frankly, scores help, just as do tasting notes. Scores shouldn’t be the only reason you buy a wine, but they can definitely be an aid. Those of us outside the wine industry don’t have the resources to just keep trying wines until we find those we like. If anything, encourage your viewers to find reviewers who match their palate and go from there.

Forgot QOTD: 1989 Haut Brion.

1958 Château Lafite Rothschild. The first wine I’ve ever had that was older than me. On my birthday too!
Oh yes, it was wonderful.

It’s amusing to see Gary spitting into that dainty French vase . . .

QOTD: Before 95? Nothing 🙁

Love the Bordeaux shows. Great to see!
