QOTD: Last night we tried the 2006 Selaks Ice Wine that you wrote about in your book. It was indeed outstanding. My wife thanks you much.

Only have the last 2 wristbands–2 of each

QOTD: Lately, many of my older Zins specifically the 2000’s. A few seemed like they weren’t doing much in the bottle which is why I was a little worried about cellaring Zins for a long period of time. The 2000 vintage was rainy and a meh vintage for a lot of CA. However I opened a 2000 Carlisle Zin and it still had a lot of its punch so I’m done with the Zins for a while. This weekend, some Oriel Prosecco, Herman Weimer Blanc de Blanc and some Rose–Sofia and Lea’s Syrah Rose. Might put the Oriel up against a bottle of the Rao’s prosecco that I recently purchased and see which one I like best.

QOTD: Currently, back to the Pinot Gris/Grigio survey, working my way up the price scale as well as across the Okanagan wineries. Half-bottle of Santa Margherita in the fridge just now, and picked up a bottle of Saumur, Les Pouches for something a little different (I hope).

QOTD: 07 Colonia Las Liebres Bonarda

QOTD – Old vine zins and Barbera, although last week we had a couple of the 06 Panther Creek Pinot’s and they brought alot of thunder for us. Great show, and I know exactly where I can get the Rosenblum and expand my pal because I have never had a Petite Sirah…so, thank you!

another great show. big thanks to everyone behind it. qotd- Chopin, a potato based vodka, when I can find it. and NZ Pinot- when I can afford it…

Great episode. I love PS and just had a great Ausie (Durif) over the past couple of nights. I’m not sure if anyone else mentioned this but you reviewed the 05 Heritage from Rosenblum last year and gave it an 89. Interestingly, and pretty cool, your tasting notes were very similar for each vintage indicating some consistency from the terrior and winemaking process, as well as your palate.

QOTD – For the summer we have been drinking quite alot of Oregon Pinot Gris.

I am into Spanish wines. I am driking Costers del Gravet 50% Cab, 30% Granacha, 10% Carinena and 10% Tempranillo. Nice mix, good with food or by itself. Very similar to the Dominio de Longaz which WL carried but is out.

Great show, Gary. To answer your question-Santa Digna cabernet rose.

Interesting show, I’ve been trying to check out more Napa/Sonoma (since I’m in the neighborhood) wines lately since I realized I’ve been drinking too much South American (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay) stuff and nothing else.

I’ll take a break from my South American friends (don’t worry, I’ll be back) and look for some PS from Cali.

QOTD: I did just have a Gruner Veltliner for the first time the other day, found it a bit perfume-y for my taste, but interesting enough to try again.

Looks like I’ll be searching for new wines rather than the old standby’s for a few weeks. Thanks Gary!

I am drinking a Capital Brewery Summer Seasonal Beer, called “Prairie Gold”. Really good, and glad you did PS on your show. I’m looking forward to my next PS, and hopeful that I will get the opportunity to try one soon.

Damn Gary, the idea of a mean Grimace just doesn’t compute, when you mentioned that the idea of an angry Barney the purple dinosaur popped into my mind and all I could think about was BARNEY SMASH! Now THAT I can picture.

QOTD: Well, while I was watching this video, I’ve been drinking a heaping glass of ice water.

QOTD – I have been drinking a lot of the naked blended juice drinks that are costing way too much. i think i am going to get some actualy fruit and juice it to see if the price is better using that method. i’ve also been drinking a lot of beer recently.

as for wine – i have been trying to mix it up. i think the last 5 bottles i’ve had were all different varieties and from different countries…

QOtD: Anything Vitamin water… I’m obsessed!

Good show Gary. Nice to see you give some love to lil’ ol’ petit syrah.

QOTD: 3 Rings Barossa Valley Shiraz 2006… fun “weekday wine”.

I like the TYOTD idea too. We should all thank our blessings everyday for what we have.

Great show! I was convinced you were going to grawl, oakmonster, when you tasted the rosenblum. Glad to here they are toning down thier new American oak program. Foppiano is a very nice family and I have had some very good
bottles in the past, at very reasonable prices. Nice to see you give Pet. a little love. When are we going to see a Condrieu episode?

I’m in the process of writing a wine book for my financee (to whom I’m marrying in two months) and it’s my goal to eventually try every wine in Temecula CA. So: yes. I have had the opportunity to try many MANY different wines in the last few months. My tasting journal is quickly filling up.

QOTD: Orfila “Hibiscus” Rose’ of Syrrah. Quite good – interesting and fruity, no doubt but very tasty and quite enjoyable.

Thanks for the great show. Always enjoy your work.
Third Gen wrist bands – hope to get a coveted gen 4 at some point.

Today was the last day of public JETS traing camp. Maybe we can do a little “training camp” action next year. Hell, it’ll be in Jersey, closer to you (lucky SOB). Can’t believe the JETS have left Hofstra! Now all I have left is the Green and White scrimmage once a year.

QOTD: I’m on a big Long Island port wine kick. I’m liking the Pindar Cab Port, Osprey’s Dominion Port, Pugliese Porto Bello and white port. They’re going great with Nat Sherman Hobart cigars!

I hope gen 5 wristbands come out soon… that’ll be my first =D. Gotta start the collection somewhere

QOTD: Riondo Prosecco, I purchased a few bottles and have been going through them like water.

Had the 2005 Perry Creek Altitude 2401 Zin last night. Really good. Also have been enjoying drinking Craftsman Brewing Co’s Poppy Fields Pale Ale lately.

Another great show!

QOTD: I’m drinking a 2007Pewsey Vale Eden Valley Dry Riesling

the prisoner. My favorite wine so far
