Line of the day – ‘punch me in the neck’

Classic Gary and well worth watching but not a 90 pointer as the whole thing was a bit rushed…probably due to the appointment GV had after the show.

    I get confused with Montepulciano. But I think I know Montalcino (Brunello di and Rosso di).

    QOTD … Don’t know G.V. for less than 20 bones there are several CA. wines and many Chilean and Australian wines I would rather buy but I’m a low budget guy and what do I know.

    Top ten baby!

    I have found these wines in the past to be a bit uninteresting…too much cherry and not enough old world love. Sounds like I need to do more exploring!

  • QOTD: My thoughts are that for my palate, sometimes those sour cherry flavors get a little heavy. When they’re kept in check, I love this style.

  • manonthemoon

    Nice show, not really a fan of the food friendly vino.

    QOTD: Seems like the only Italians I really like are $50 +, so I hardly go with them, just to many good low dollar wines elsewhere that really rock out.

  • You’re really babbling today! Every single time saying Montalcino…

    Montepulciano = Mawn-teh-pool-CHA-noh… NOT Montalcino (mon tal CHEE no)

    QOTD: These wines are yummy!

    this is where italy and france rock. it is possible to get a $20 wine ( in the US ) and it rawks your booty. even in switzerland, 20 bucks can go a long way. good suggestions gary. BTW way to start the week, not including yesterday

    bravo!

    QOTD – Don’t know yet. I think you’re right on the money with the better question – why aren’t these wines more popular? Italy is more confusing than France. Is it a grape? Is it a place? Is it a style? WTF? I never know for sure if I’m buying the right thing.

    QsOTD back to you: Where did you go for dinner, what did you order, and what wine did you drink?

    Keep rockin’ it GV

    QOTD: Love them. We had a 2001 Tenuta Vitanza Brunello di Montalcino a little while ago, and even though it was a bit young, it was really great. My personal score for it was 94 (higher than Parker or Tanzer). It wasn’t a $20.00 bottle though; closer to $60.00. I’d be happy to try any Brunello; we don’t get them much here.

    QOTD: I only have tried the first one – the 2005 Cerro Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano and wasn’t that impressed by the effort, 86 pts maybe. If I came across the 2004 Torcalvano or the Poliziano I might give it another shot.

    Gary, you’re getting peeps confused: It’s Vino Nobile di Montepulciano….and not Montalcino. Look what DaveyDonut has just written.

    QOTD: A Vino Nobile is a nice wine.
