QOTD: Sorry to be predictable but I would have to go with New Zealand.

The Rock?

I agree with Zach – weird mood today, Gary. Fun one!

I can’t wait to seek out German Pinot Noir. I heard the Germans have engineered a new wine for older folks that can’t get through the night without getting up to the bathroom…. They are calling it…. …

Pinot Mor

hahahaha.
Qotd:

hey gary; thanks for the episode.
and really THANKS for the present and wristband with the secret pack; can’t wait to taste it!!
because of you I signed up for both K vinters and bonnydoon to try more of their wine! can’t wait!

QOD: Davis Family/Siduri/Holdredge Pinots

Videos are either not loading or loading at a laboriously slow rate. What’s up?

I would have to say Massale from Australia, very complex and a decent price. Loved the show on Spatbagunder, I have had a few and your right they are tend to have great charisma.

it may seem blasphemy but the best pinot noir i ever had was from trentino alto adige, italy. sorry don’t remember the producer.
thanks for all, gary

nice one! admittedly i’m not a big pinot fan, i find most of those guys straightout… boring (thank god the wine world is supposed to be a peaceful one) – but THIS one is a killa!

Theo Minges, 2003 Spätburgunder Zinkelerde, Auslese trocken. 22 (Euros that is).

oh, shouldn’t i have said: “was”, it’s no longer available. But more recent years of that wine are. it comes from beautiful palatinate – imho and seen from my german pov (no, i’m not even living near that region): a much better wine region than baden (too big, too mass production, to conservative).
plus, this minges guy got some other exeptional stuff going btw (try his sparkling wines).
cheers

QOTD: Innocent Bystander Pinot Noir 2005

Fun show, wish the German’s were more available.

great show, the added educational content has been great lately especiacally covering regions that no one would really consider exploring with professionals to guide them, German Pinot Noir is going to be a huge hit one of these days….

QOTD: had a few German Pinots but nothing to write home or here about, however would you say Pinotage counts (at least for half? Haha)

Cool show, will have to look for a German Pinot.
QOTD: Yea, New Zealand. 2006 Allan Scott Pinot Noir.

QOTD: I’ve had a handful of German Pinot’s that were good…yet I think one that is highly under the radar is Bindi in Australia.

Gary, the 05 Ghisolfi Pinay from Italy was consistently great every time I’ve had it, unfortunately I’m down to my last bottle, other than that I’m interested in trying different Burgundies on an infrequent basis. Before a recent Dodger game a couple of friends and I were at a trendy LA eatery and drank two bottles of 98 and one 95 red Burgundy,all in the $75-90 range. The 98’s were fantastically sublime but the 95 was bigger but one dimensional and monolithic, that’s my two cents.

QOTD: Never had a non-american Pinot Nior, but I’m very interested…
Fun show with a pretty strong showing! I’m getting pumped for the Thursday guest and the election pack show! Keep it coming GV.

Go Vikings… oh wait, they’re as bad as the JETS right now 🙁

Talk about expanding your palate! Until you mentioned it, I didn’t realize that the only Pinot I’ve had is from the U.S. or France. Thanks for a great episode, I will now seek out some German Pinot.

I hate to be the one to say this… I’ve had maybe 10 different Pinots and have YET to have one that I liked! I guess the search continues…..

QOYD= yeah fine Mt. Difficulty 2005 Central Otago NZ. Whatever, it F##king rocks. I cant believe you found two good spatburgunders!! odds of that happening again??? million to one.

I love the German Messmer Spatburgunders – and they come in 1-liter bottles!

The old Amisfield 2003 / Central Otago is great as well.

Last episode you poke yourself in the eye, this episode you sneeze all over the office, I can’t wait to see what happens the next episode. I also hope the guest on Thursday as is awesome as you are saying they are going to be.

QOTD: that would be Blue Mountain Pinot Noir, from the Okanagan Valley in Beautiful British Columbia [Canada]. There reserve is also sold out in months and the step down is usually sold out before the next vintage comes out

Now I need to find these wines in Vancouver, Canada the ones you taste. Also can’t buy election package for here in canada eh?

Weston
Vancouver, Canada

cant wait to see who the guest is

“Sully, remmember when I told you i’d kill you last…I lied”….man I loved that movie, but every time I watch it now it seems to get worse. Maybe its the cable that can be seen holding Sully upside down or Arnold taking cover being a rose bush and never getting hit, I don’t know but I find myself watching it any time its on.
