Hey Gary, I am actually going to be drinking a Petite Sirah this weekend I think. Depends on what we end up doing for dinner.

Great ep G …. I have generation 1 & 2 wristbands . I need to get 3 & 4..
Please let me know how to get 3 & 4.
I might drink some Petite Syrah this weekend good with BBQ.
QOTD– Good Italian whites like Vernaccia & Orvieto. Had a sauvignon blanc blend from Italy that was good too. Great values too.

ive been digin’ on 04 st. emilion

thanks for the heads up about the 2004 vintage. ive havent bought a dud in over 5 bottles.

keep up the good work 😉

I’m drinking peach juice because I’m not old enough to have wine. 🙂

I’ve got a generation 2 wristband … my wife just doesn’t seem to understand why it’s important to me! Oh well.

Drinking a lot of Italian wines latey (Arnais, Verdiccio, Primitivo, Nero D’Avola, even a great ’99 Altesino Brunello). Getting ready for next month: three weeks at the “mothership”, Italy!

Gary, and all, any suggestions on smaller vineyards to visit in Tuscany?

QOTD: I’ve been buying anything that I’ve never drank, or drank very little. Grenache, Viognier, Cab Franc, Barbera, some Italian regional thingees. Also, going back and trying some plain, old Cabs after futzing around with various other reds for the last couple months.

great show. these days i’ve been trying to drink wines from places i don’t have much experience with. I feel pretty familiar with the west coast, france, and a bit of spain, but i haven’t had much wine from italy, south america, australia or new zealand. so i am trying to broaden my horizons. it’s been a lot of fun!

Drinking 04 Bordeaux and Italian varietals as well as a lot of different whites and roses. Thanks for the Bordeaux advice. I’ve put away a few choice 05 but the prices are keeping me in check.

I have that original ghetto wristband but none of the newer ones. Love that bright yellow one.

I’ve kinda jumped into beer a little. Things like Stone Brewery’s Levitation Ale and the new 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Stout are just phenomenal. But for wine I’ve been trying some viognier and Rose (summers in Phoenix are hot…so don’t give me any crap about the light “girly” wines)

I’ve got the original wristband. QOTD – nothing, I’ve been sick.

Love the show as always! Been enjoying some cab franc lately. want to start trying some blind tasting to compare and contrast different varietals and see if I can get better at identifying them.

Can you believe it’s almost football season!!!!!!!

QOTD: I’ve taken a break from my foray into Pinot Grigio and now I’m going through a bunch of Belgian White Ales.

Wristbands….I have all but the new one ? hmmmmmm

QOTD….drinking a little of my homemade riesling. i was drinking it earlier this year….then let it set, and have noticed it “calming down”. kinda cool

I’ve been drinking some yummy Wild Berry Nectar with selzter lately, and a nice Pinot Noir from Goosebay (S. Island, NZ).

QotD: Cava, Côtes du Rhônes & Beaujolais Villages

Excellent show. Gonna find these wines.

QOTD: Barbera. Me likey. Favorite is Valley of the Moon’s ’05 Barbera. And I’ve tried two types of ’05 Bordeaux from the local wine store and will continue getting into that trying to learn some of the Old World.

GV-
Glad to see a show on PS, it’s one of my faves. I’ve been drinking a lot of shiraz lately, which is different for me. I guess my palate is changing. Keep up the good work.

I always seem to roll back to the Napa Valley Cabs even though I am trying all types of different wines. Had a Raymond Reserve last night – very tasty.

Also, I have two of the wrist bands, the Bring the Thunder and Sniffy Sniffy.
I should would like to get the others so I could wear them on the Cruise. I guess you can tell tht I am graveling here! Ken

Petite Sirah is my current favorite wine.
A party in your mouth when well done.
For a budget bottle I usually go with Bogle but
I will lay out a few more bones and look for
the Rosenblum.

I have had the Foppiano P.S. and found it about the same as you did. The Bogle P.S. seems to always bring good value for an inexpensive wine. I like Petite Sirah and will look for the other two you tasted today to expand my PAL.

QOTD: Drinking a lot of Vinho Verde and Sicilian red wines this summer. They are just fun wines to have on the deck. Great with simple food straight from the grill.

GV – No wristbands for me since MA sucks when it comes to wine shipping! And I’ve lost contests. But I’m commenting hard so you’ll send me one! QOTD – I’ve been digging Bonny Doon’s stuff.

Some Pannier and exploring cavas.
Then moving back into Rhone syrahs.

QOTD: I roll with the CKC so I’m drinking a lot of everything and still feeling my way around the wine world. Just recently had a Green Groves cab, Sharpshooter pinot, some rioja, and basically whatever I have never had before.
