Luca Bercelli

91/100

line of the day – ‘the Green Hornet, the Green Arrow, and the Incredible Hulk are all in my mouth’
line of the day 2 – ‘tastes like you just ripped the heart out of a panda’

Distinctive unusual wines with Gary on top form as usual. When re-tasting the first wine at the end of the show he says, ‘Yeah, I was right I nailed it.’ Love it

    I have never written anything. Ever. Total lurker for a very long while.

    The cough drops that you also referred to in your Oregon Pinot Noir tasting in June (I think) are called Luden’s. White box. Do nothing but taste delicious.

    You have taught me more than any single other source and for that, I am immensely appreciative.

    Hi Gary, I like the mixed bag format !

    QOTD: I hope the Jets win (it s good to see you in a good mood), although I don’t really understand American football.

    As for the secret pack… I m in the UK and sadly I can’t get Wine Library wines sent accros. If you start shipping the packs to the UK, I’ll definitly get one!

    Make the Euro-vayniacs super happy and ship secret packs to the Old world 😀

    Gary –

    Congrats on your anniversary and b-day!

    QOTD: So far, my prediction for the season record is intact, so, unfortunately, I’m gonna have to stick with my pre-season pick. Jets lose . . . It’ll be close . . . let’s say 24-20 with Favrrrrrre heaving up a last minute interception.

  • I’m really curious to try that syrah. Those kinds of wine are fun for me.

    QOTD: I can’t stand Favre, so I’m just going to say that the Pats will win. No score prediction.
