QOTD: After a stint of drinking every “summer brew” beer I could get my hands on (Harpoon’s summer varietal was my fav) I am now drinking the wines from the customer appreciation sale… Cambiata for the win!!! Oh, and the Prado Ayala really does smell like poop(!) but tastes nice.

I was instructed to post: I have a black wristband.
I promise to wear it next time I see you, GV!

Loved the PS episode. I really can’t get into petite sirah as a rule (TOO MUCH) but I can appreciate it’s exuberance.

Reminds me a bit of you, actually….:)

Right now, I’m drinking a Fall Line cabernet (WA)…trying to figure out if a purchase of more bottles is warranted.

The verdict is: YES!

drinking 2003 covey run cab merlot blend from grocery outlet $1.99. amazing stuff.

QOTD: Mas Doix Priorat it brings the thunder.

QOTD: Mas Doix Priorat

QOTD 1: YES I’ve got all 4 “gen” of the wristbands, and DAMN proud of it
QOTD 2: Loire Valley whites- the “lesser known” bunch; Cheverny, Ruilly, Sauveniers, Muscadet, Saumur, Loire sparklers, etc.

Drinking not spitting Jacob;s Creek sparkling rose and Snoqiual,,,”sorry” riesling. The sparklers easier drinking and nice, the riesling is sweet but quality. Considering costs very good. Gary are you still drinking the hard to fine wine that you are happy to ship?

QOTD: Not very much! I have been working too much and too late to drink. The last bottle I did have was a Greece – St George that was very interesting. It was cross between a pinot noir and barbera in its profile. It was my first, so I am going to try some more in the months to come.

QOTD: I’ve been drinking alot of inexpensive portuguese wine, mainlyvinho verde – very nice for the summer. I resently tried my first sangoviese which I loved with pizza.

Qotd: drinking louis martini sonoma cab

Gary-
What, no props for sending you that fine piece os stemware emblazoned with your beloved Jets logo? Where’s the love? Enjoyed the show, although I think Favre will perform better than those 3 wines this year. QOTD: I thought the Este did not live up to the hype.

Q-Last night we had the 2007 Stony Bay New Z. Sauv Blanc. Nice for $12. The night before, 2003 La Nunsio Barbera D’Asti, a great value in my opinion.

I have all four wrist bands! Two original. Thanks GV

QOTD: Loving the â??04 & â??05 Pisque right now. Good stuff and it tastes even better knowing it only set you back 10 bones.

QOTD: Trying to expand my palate, right now focusing on Italy!

QOTD: It’s hot in Florida, so I’m in to white bordeaux and gruners!

QOTD… What am I drinking today? Recent top hits are 1) Wild Horse Pinot Noir, 2) Silver Oak Cab 3) Alamos Selecioin Malbec, 4) Fluer Des Pins Graves, 5) Martinetti Gavi. Gary, the Graves (WOW) and the Gavi were at your WLTV recommendations. The Graves was fantastic, blew my guests away. And the Gavi, which I never had before, was so spot on delicious that I will be adding that to my next case purchase. Keep up the great work!

QOTD: Murphy Goode ’05 Cab. very nice

QOTD: Chenin Blanc from loire.

QOTD: I am drinking the 2004 Stuart Cellars Merlot. Very yummy with steaks and tri-tips that are very peppery.

Good show…I like a lot of Rosenblum wines.

QOTD: I tried some of Coppola’s new label at a sponsored dsinner the other night and I’m drinking a Sonoma based cab sav from his new label Directors Cut.

QOTD 1: I got one of the original.
I also got a 1993 Foppiano Petit Syrah sitting in my wone fridge. Went to a tasting where you could try the same bottle through like 20+ years. The 93 stood out to me as excellent. So I bought a bottle.
QOTD 2: I am drinking: wine, beer and booze
But for some reason I have been really enjoying the Copolla Ivory lable. For $15 I like it..

A crapload of Arizona Green Tea…w/ a extra squeeze of lemon or lime….LOVE IT!!!

QOTD: I’ve been drinking wines with really distinct and strong noses/flavors.

I had the Westerland 2005 Pinotage which has the overwhelming taste of Cigar tobacco ripping through it… I drank this wine and felt like I was sitting in my grandfathers living room – it was awesome and had a really nice long finish.

Another wine I enjoyed a bit less but had a fantastically strong scent was a Montepulciano d’Abruzzo that smelled exactly, and I can not be emphatic enough about how exactly this wine smelled, like a horse stable. Not a real dirty horse stable but one that had been cleaned and fresh hay was there for the horses. A bit abrasive and acidic on the mid palate and finish, but I went back for a second, third and fourth taste because it was so unique. Fantastic if you’re looking for a wine that will expand your palate.
