Chat.st Michelle Indian Wells Riesling 2006 at $11 is really very good- a combination of luscious green apples, cream and peaches. The label says cantelope but I.m not getting it. Nevertheless,really not just very good.

I mean better than very good

Chat.st Michelle Indian Wells Riesling 2006
Oh and by the way did I say it was very good. Also I am really looking Bills v. the J… E… T… S… if Ewards wakes up. Go Bills!

QOTD: I have several that I can recommend:

Edmeades Zinfandel Mendicino County 2006

“Root: 1” Cabernet Sauvignon by Vina Ventisquero, Colchagua Chile 2005

Fontanafredda Barbera Piemonte “Briccotondo” 2006

Patrick Lesec Bouquet Cotes Du Rhone 2005

And the last one, but this is $14, but I scored it a 92

Glen Carlou Grand Classique 2003

It’s your show, GV, if you want run through a few baseball cards, go for it. I enjoy your snap recollections of the players. QOTD: Tittarelli Torrontes Reserva $11.

QOTD: Dr Loosen’s Dr L is a great entry level riesling that everyone knows and that I keep coming back to, amazing QPR at only £6.50 in Sainsburys. Had a 2001 Lealtanza Rioja Crianza recently for £9 from Averys (probably retails for around $13 in the states, I don’t know) that was delicious, not too heavy, tons of sour cherries, a little wood smoke, coffee, earth and smoooooooth. Drank it with a bunch of people, some of whom didn’t like it so much. I tend to avoid numerical ratings, but I guess it’s an 89+ for me, just not quite interesting enough to hit that 90.

QOTD: None.

Liked the concept of the show.

QOTD: Porca de Murça – Douro, at about $6. Trust me on this one.

I’ve had numerous bottles of the Pillar Box Red, Each bottle is different. Sometimes average-sometimes outstanding.

You know, the 06 PillarBox is not as bright and balanced.. the 05 was fresher tasting..

as to the best 13 dollar wine.. it is Glatzer Gruner Veltliner.. awesome..
2nd place to a bottle of Gallo of Sonoma Zinfandel 2004

QOTD: I like Castano’s (Yecla, Spain) Hecula. It’s mostly Monastrell. Should be in the $12-13 range. Good “pop and pour” but can be held 2-4 yrs.

Mine is 3. That is the age where I started to remember everything. I love croatian wines GV.

the question of the day is cut off of the video for me 🙁 It won’t play the end of the episode due to an “error”

QOTD: believe it or not, I really enjoyed “White Truck”. I’d say aviod the red and pink, but the white had tons of aromatics going on and a great sweet but not too sweet taste to it.

Great Episode! I am hunting the Zlatan right now. Just wathched the episode with some Chambolle-Musigny, Millesime 2003.

I used to comment all the time, from the beginning, but have been watching consistently again since Episode 500. Keep it up! I stopped watching my tv shows to catch up on all of the past episodes I missed.

Keep going man!

FYI, your Cheese Library staff helped me and the wife out last week! Your staff knows their stuff.

Loved the show. Great concept. And the Mottster gets a HUGE best supporting
award for this one. Great cameo and great Wes Walker jersey pan. PS – Lengs
& Cooter make a kick ass clare valley riesling that you would like.

QOTD: ? sorry IOU. Had error messages on that part of the stream and could
not get it to play.

Love the baseball cards

QOTD: 2006 Gascon Malbec (Argentina)

QOTD: Haven’t had any <=$13.00 wine in the last month. Sorry.

Meh show, love the green band and awesome Mags reference.

QOTD: Unfortunately I don’t drink a lot of 13 and under stuff because I am trying to drink a little less and tend to splurg on what I buy. That said I loved the Four Vines cuvee bottling.

I am gonna get some Valdesil. My best under $13 dollar wine. I just pulled out some Rocky Creek Zin that I bought purchased at the Winelibrary. Great stuff. Nice and smoky.

QOTD: the best bottle under $13 has to be 2005 14 Hands Merlot from Washington state. I’ve had this wine in chain restaurants, but finally found it for $9.99. its a must try! for a white, 207 Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling. another great wine for $10.99.
