* Domaine De La Garrigue Cotes Du Rhone Cuvee Romaine 2006 (solid cote du rhone rouge)

* Chateau Pesquie Les Terrasses 2006

Great episode–keep the value driven stuff coming!
QOTD–best one I’ve had lately is probably the Mateus Signature 2005 Douro. Under $10 even up here in Canada.

Just opened the 2006 Ancient Peaks zin last night-13 bones, great bottle of wine, nice spice, licorice and jammy fruit. Unfortunately, it’s sold out already. 93 rated in WS

Good show. I’m always a fan of finding values.

Also, the baseball cards are so awesome. And who doesn’t love David Wells. I saw him in a bar when the Yankees were here playing the Mariners and he was super cool, totally nice, and called my roommate an idiot for telling him that he could hit his splitty (Wells doesn’t throw a splitty).

QOTD: Snoqualmie Merlot (2005). Very solid, and for $7-8, it can’t be beat. I have tasting notes somewhere in my blog. Search through to find it. 🙂

… well I did recently get a glass of Pontet-Canet for ?11! ; )
Oh, and a grand-puy-lacoste for ?15!

And, (though I’d just throw this in) I got a bottle, yes a bottle, of lynch-bages 96 for ?50!!
It’s usually ?185! That was crazy!

Hey gary, whatever happened to that thank you of the day thing you were doing a while ago?

Good show, Gary. The best sub-$13 wine I’ve had lately was Francois Montand Blanc de Blancs. It’s a very good French sparkling wine, especially for the price.
