The samplers are killer.

I am really into wines from Languedoc-Roussillon but also anything different.

diggin the show.
qotd- i have been drinking lots of stuff. new stuff all the time. 2 wines that i picked up on that i liked and bought a few bottles of are Domaine Gonon from the rhone. they make a st joseph and a bottle called les iles feray. the iles is rockin my world. at 13 bucks it is what i like. it is like a lean horse. lots of stable, bright fruit and lean… kinda mean too. not for everyone. the other is an italian white from fasoli gino from the veneto. it is a 2000 bianco veronese…. garganega. love it! at 15 bucks… so good. i shared with some friends over lobsters in the cape…….damn it was good

These days, beeothch…. A little comment war, sorry Gary.

QOTD: Any white that brings me some acid. It’s still summer!

QOTD:Been recently enjoying alot of the wines from Campania region.

Hey Vay-Ner-Chuk,

I, with help from Mrs. thefaamakesmedrink, am polishing off quite a bit of Gavi and Gruner Veltliner. Kudos to you, our Russian friend. Keep up the good work.

Regards,

QOTD – Right now, drinking Chateau Henye Tokaji. Quite nice.

I remember having at least one Petite Syrah (yes with a ‘y’), it was the L.A. Cetto from Baja California…Good stuff: dark berries and leather…a little young maybe, but still pretty good.

Good show! (as usual)

QOTD: I’ve been enjoying Portuguese wines a lot. My favs are Marques de Marialva and tonight’s : Marques de Borba.

QOTD: drinkin every Xynomavro I can get my hands on. Lovin the stuff

Gary, Gary, Gary, I think you have missed the boat on this one. My wife and I purchased the 2006 Rosemblum and tasted it along with you. We both immediately tasted bing cherries that our moms bottled when we were little. Give it another shot and see what you think. We can discuss it on the cruise. Ken & Sheila

Summertime is great for a nice crisp rose, and I’ve run across 2 great roses. One is called Sola Rosa and the other is from Alexander Valley Vineyards. Also been drinking a very nice Pinot Gris from Elk Cove Vineyards in Oregon. As for Petit Sirah, I have enjoyed the Foppiano as well as Petit Sirahs from Bogle and Concannon.

I haven’t tried a Petite Syrah yet. I’m going out tonight to find one for tomorrow evening (wine Friday). I gotta stop watching WLTV because you always give me ideas on wines I need to try. Unfortunately my wine refrigerators (I have two and that’s a story in itself) are getting so full there’s no room for new. More drinking, less buying!

QOTD: really, really in Southern France, Rhone (especially), Languedoc & Roussillon. Who would have guessed that the Languedoc-Roussillon region is the largest area of wine production in the world. Some decent bargains even with the Euro trashing the dollar.

I’ve been drinking some Lexia from Alice White lately. I know it’s cheap wine, but I like it, and I’m in college.

Great show….as usual (always fun when I get the preview on ustream, though!). I also LOVE the Rosenblum PS and was so happy that you liked it! I was sure you were going to hate the fruit bomb aspect of the wine but you didn’t….I think your palate is up to something! Anyway, when I smelled the wine it was totally blueberry pie….all day long!

QOTD: Tried 2 Cameron Hughes 2005 Meritages last night….different lots….both were quite good!

Just watched episode #523…What am I drinking? Chateau Ste Michelle 2005 Indian Wells Cabernet Sauvignon…wow, bringing the thunder for 15 bones.

QOTD: Right now I’m drinking a 3 Girls Pinot Noir from Lodi, CA. But I love the Lot 205 recommend it to entry drinkers really nice example of the grape.

I have 3 wristbands so I’ve been around a while, even have 2 of the very first. I wear them when I teach my wine class to get the buzz going about you!!

How come we can’t email you anymore? Too big of a guy!! How do we contact you?

QOTD:at this moment I am drinking Chateau Bonnet white bordeaux; however I will grab something different

Enjoying my wines of the month…Ciro Librandi & Long Meadow Ranch, Ranch House Red. Both very good with lots of structure!

QOTD: [yellow tail] Shiraz-Cabernet because my boyfriend and I are poor college students! We love your show!!

Qotd: I have had a lot of interesting wines lately. I was in Croatia and Hungary for vacation. Many of the wines I had in Croatia smelled and tasted a bit like brined green olives. I had some real nice red’s from the Kékfrankos grape in Hungary. Then to top it off I had a ’78 cab from Napa when I got back. It was supposed to be an $8-10 bottle on release. It was supper funky smelling and tasting when it was opened, but after around 3 hours it was fairly decent. There was still some decent fruit after all of those years.

QotD: I just finished a glass of Diet Slice.

QOTD: I’ve been drinking a lot of Italian wines lately…

QOTD: Spanish whites including Xa-relo (thanks to you Gaz) and Argentinian Malbecs from Catena, Alamos…

I love my Petite Sirah. Any wine that turns your teeth blue is OK with me. I’ve had every vintage of Foppiano going back to 1996. The 2004 is a little tough now but I think better years are ahead.

QOTD: Right now, 2006 Finca Decero Malbec (Mendoza). Lately, Belgian beer. I do love my tripels– Urthel’s Hibernus Quentum, try it.
