Gary- An Election Party????????????????????????? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT idea!!!! I like your white color question………..good one!!!!! It is red, white and blue not just red and blue.

Gary & Chris, NEW idea for a T-Shirt!!!! GREAT descriptor on the 2005 Quinta Da Cortezia Touriga Nacional!!!!!!!! A violet on a horse in the middle of the night!!!! VERY cool!!!! GREAT one Gary!!!!

QOTD: Yes, but it has been a while. Last one I had was ok, not amazing.

I like the plaid shirt. A nice change from the striped shirts.

Everyone, please vote before having the secret pack tasting parties. I repeat, vote before drinking. Thanks.

QOTD: I have had plenty of Touriga Nacional, both 100% and blends. I’ve liked about half of them and the other half were meh. Some of the meh wines had a heavy port smell on the nose, makes sense.

QOTD: have had a few touriga national and blends and have yet to be disappointed. Definitely a big fan of these wines.

Awesome show gary! Secret pack sounds goooood.

QOTD: nope, haven’t tried one….YET.

Gary- Nice one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really like this one: “There is something brewing in this land with my palate” !!!!!!!!!!!! That’s right, you guessed it: I actually watch your episodes!!!!!!!! GASP!!! SHOCK!!!!!

Gary & Chris -So sorry that I can’t leave any comments………………………………………………………………….LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Gary & Chris – QOTD: No have not had one. Will have this varietal soon…………… 🙂

Hey Gary,

I’m a Student at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I love your show as well as your entrepreneurial videos on your website. I am a Chemical Engineer with an emphasis in Materials, Polymers, and Technology Management. I hope to talk with you and learn more in the future.

Regards,

Heyyyyy… Mott, you readin’ comments? Send me an email, how are ya? : P
Haven’t had many wines from Portugal, but I have been consistently disappointed by the ones I have tasted!
Gary- Chateau de Caraguihes 04- one of the best wines I’ve ever tasted, ?20- check it out!

QOTD: Nope never heard of it until now….why I love this show and you GV….

Yoohooo on a new secret pack and and the Jets thing sounded awesome…

Hey Gary,

We need to get your Secret packs delivered to the Liquor control Borg of Ontario. I am sure plenty of folks in Ontario would jump all over them.
If you need a distributor for your secret packs let me know.
We need to find a way to make this available to Canadians.

G, Why couldn’t you have done this show like a month ago. I was in Lisbon 3 weeks ago for about 5 days. It was a structured trip so I couldn’t venture out to taste, but I could have used the knowledge when ordering the vino. I also spent a few days in the Madiera Island…it was siiiick. Keep it flowin!–jc

KyBoy is my real tag…i just used Jonathan…I have to step up my game.

It didn’t post my original comment…anyway, this is what I said. “G, why couldn’t you have done this show a month ago? I was in Lisbon for about 5 days livin’ it up. I was on a structured trip so I couldn’t do any tasting, but I could have used the vino knowledge when ordering. I also spent a few days in the Madiera Islands…it was siiiick. Keep it flowin!”

QOTD……yeah right, like I ever heard of Touriga Nacional before this show.

Touriga Nacional will be a noble grape variety in the near future.

why does Portuguese wine need french, or american oak, damn the internationalization of wine, damn it all.

yo have you tried that romanescu broccoli?

Love those Portuguese wines. TN and the blends they’re doing now are rocking. Such good wine for reasonable prices. Wish I could find more of it around.

Gonna suggest this again, maybe it’s not possible, but… Could you put the price-at-taping and your score on the wine list on the page? Would be nice to check those out without having to scan through the episode to remind myself. And, anyway, sometimes my brain just turns off when you say the price. Maybe that’s why my credit card bill is as high as it is? Dang.

You should take more calls during the show, that’s cool. You could do a call-in segment even, old-school for us fogies in the audience.

I tried the So about a week ago…couldnt agree with you more GV! What a fantastic wine. I will absolutely be drinking much more of the Touriga.

This wine is sexy…….but not a slut! That goes into my tasting notes hall of fame next “lap-dance on my tongue’ from RP. Also, really funny that after all your fame & notoriety you still have to answer to the wife…pick something up on the way home. Love it.
QOTD – never tried a touriga still wine. And I get to taste lots & lots of wine. I’ll have to ask my distributors about that. That SO sounded really interesting.
ps – sold some of Charles Smith K-Syrah Cougar Hills & the Ovide tonight. Great feedback from the guests. Different tbls.

QOTD: cant say ive had but i have had some tempernio for what ever thats worth

QOTD: I haven’t, but I think I’ll spend some time today trying to find someone that has it here in Denmark. Although, I must admit, I haven’t seen anything. But you got me pumped!

I have not tried a Touriga Nacional yet. I will be in the area so I will stop by to pick one up at WL.

Looking forward to the election party!
