QOTD: I used to buy Bordeaux from Margaux starting in the early ’80’s for about 25 to 40 bones and being in a little heaven with a few of those bottles. I didn’t have a very trained pallete, but I know I enjoyed drinking that wine with or without food. I don’t remember the vintages, but the wine and ourselves were very young when we drank them.

QOTD: Sadly, nothing older than 95.

I would love to see Tea Library TV. Besides the kind of fun alliteration: I love teas and could use some inspiration to explore and develop my tea palette.

Older than 95? Nope, never had one. But I’m willing to learn!

Damn Gary you are so spoiled to drink these old vintages lol. I wish i could drink some of them.

QOTD:
-Uhhhhh 2004 LOL

QOTD: 1986 Wild Irish Rose

Possibly the ’82 Calon Segur at the WL tasting!

Allowing 95 and back, but nothing before 95 – que ?

Gary, the way you use “dry” makes it sound like you mean “tannic,” which is confusing because “dry” conventionally refers exclusively to sugar content. “Bone dry” is even more specifically referring to sugar content. Please use “tannic” from now on or I will be forced to beat you up 🙂

QOTD: 1982 Calon Segur, out of a double magnum, at the Vayniac Party. Really really cool and memorable!

do a tea show!

Great show again. Probably a tie for me between ’82 and ’86 Las Cases.

Awesome episode GV, loving the Bordeaux trip, can’t wait to see more!
QOTD: I was lucky enough to try a 1990 Cheval Blanc, and let me tell you that it totally lived up to the hype, it was indeed a 100pt wine! Also had a 1990 Ausone that was just as good in a different way. Second place comes the 1995 Grand Puy Lacoste, brilliant wine that is still evolving.

QOTD: Just recently got into wines, and I don’t think I’ve had a Bordeaux older than 2006. (I know… unfortunate. Can’t wait till I’m rollin’ in the dough to be able to afford some of the classic vintages)

yeaux yeaux yeaux Wineaux in Bordeaux. wow i hate to admit this, but i am not rollin like p. diddy 🙁 oh well, good thing i got my local vineyards …

oh pps, i dont get what this main street thingy is suppost to be, you wanna expound on that?

Sadly nothing very old….I’m missing out. Good episode though, hope the camera makes it.

OH baby! Nice show. QOTD: a total no brainer for me: 1947 Cheval Blanc. We tasted this on the occasion of my friend’s 26th birthday (no longer draftable) along with a 1947 Canon and a 1949 Gruaud LaRose (yes, this is the wine I brought; I couldn’t afford any 1947s). I’d love to reminisce with you some day about the many tastings my group has had over the years; like that’ll ever happen. Anyway, I think you know what I mean when I say that I can still taste this wine anytime I put my mind to it.

That cut was hilarious.

QOTD: Have not had the pleasure of drinking a fine aged Bordeaux

Interesting to see you taste old classic wines.
QOTD: Never had an old Bordeaux other than the 82 we tasted at the March WineLibrary Bash…BTW, when’s the next one? Had a great time.

Being 26 and born in 1982, I haven’t had wines that old (or maybe ’cause today they’d be out of my price range) Good show! Way to go Bordeaux!

QOTD: I think that the 1985 Lynch Bages that I probably drank way too young (1996) is the best Bordeaux that I have had. It makes me wistful when I think how little I paid for it (under $40).

great show. You gave the 1988 bordeaux 89,93, and 90 points respectively. Not even close to Parker or Wine spectator. I think, and this only my opinion, that wine spectator is more right as far as the ratings. You keep saying too much wood, leather components, rose mary, solid complexity.Wwine spectator doesn’t even mention any of your components. One thing that you are absolutely right is that all three wines are overpriced. Also, I’m a NY Jets fun even without Broadway Joe. Congratulations on your show and podcast.
