    I didn’t have the secret pack. My loss. Torrontes is on my to do list along with Assyrtiko (spell?). Last year we had a yummy Bourgogne for Thanksgiving and this year we’ll have a Chilean pinot noir and an Italian Bardolino (spell?).

    Happy Thanksgiving Peeps!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to shipping laws I won’t be able to enjoy this secret pack for a bit. Hopefully my mule coming back from St. Louis can fit all of my wine in his car along with his wife and 2 year old…

    Happy Thanksgiving. Had the Schifrin and the Bourgone both bought at WL in August. Did not have any of the whites as we didn’t get the secret pack. They were both outstanding with the turkey and by themselves but this is the third time we’ve had the Schifrin. The Lions didn’t disappoint 47-10 loss.

    Hi Gary and Happy Thanksgiving. Great episode as always. While we can’t order out of state wines here in Arizona, I did pick up a Torrontes from Uraguay and a Pinot Noir from Sonoma for our Thanksgiving feast here. So much for your football hopes as the Lions got crushed. Anyway, I look forward to finding and trying the wines highlighted in the pack. I hope that the ones I have this evening are as good.

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING to my American neighbors to the south!

    Thanksgiving was a month and a half ago here in Québec, Canada. Nonetheless, hope you are all having a great time with the people you love.

    QOTD: No secret packs here in Canada.

    Hey Gary, how about hooking us up!?

    Cheers!

    These tastings are very educational to my nose and palate.

    QOTD: B. Shifrin Zin a big winner, a gorgeous wine. Pinot second. Torrontes third. And (sorry Gary) Cuvee didn’t bring the thunder.

    Happy Holidays to Gary V., his family and the family of Vayniacs. Oh, and to Mott too!

    Took the pack to neighbors. Pinot was hands down winner. I myself ordered some more of it. Great value imo. 2nd probably went to the torrontes but it was hotly contested with the Zin. (I really wish it had been open a bit longer though. It was drank within an hour of opening.) Sadly the thunder cuvee was last and didnt get much attention.

    Had a great Thanksgiving wine experience with a secret pack put together by my friend and someone else who brought wine.

    I smelled blackberry jam in a wine for the first time. In other words, I identified it and it was a correct identification.

    I also thought of oily melted plastic in a nose for the first time. This came from the Georges Du Boeuf 2005 Pinot Noir.

    Thanks for adding the imagination to the wine breakdowns. They help.

  • Love you, man! hehe, nice thanks-giving!

    Spent 10 hours in wine shopping yestoday…and got a 2002 Bordeaux white, a 2004 Chablis, a 2002 Pouilly-Fuisse, 2 veneto whites and a 2005 veneto cabernet(being curious about the effect of those hails there)…No matter where the economy goes, I’ll certainly love wines, especially at grand sales…hehe. The prices in China are a little stupid, and all I am doing is looking for some smart ones who are changing the situation…

    BTW, the “episode picture”(even on http://widgets.winelibrary.com/episode_picture) hasn’t been changed for weeks, since our lovely Ms. Jancis Robinson came by…Maybe we can update it by Christmas? Yeah?:)

    Fascinating episode, I was also there looking for some torrentes yestoday! Really good episode! Say hello to Matt, Sasha and all the families and vanyiacs! Love you guys!

    Of course you’ll have lots of Thunder Cuvee on the Thunder Cruise.
    Wondering why Brett Favre has an ice cream cone. Couldn’t make out all the writing or see for sure what flavor it was. Haagen Dazs coffee is the best.
    Wish I had a Thunder pack to dissect. We had Ridge Montebello 2000, and the part of the meal it went with best was the fresh cranberry and walnut molded salad.
    Getting used to the beard. Hope the Jets keep winning.
