QOTD:7 OR 8 cases mostly mixed. Chateau Angelus (3) was my splurge. Branon, Valrose Alienor, Reignac, Chasse Spleen, Clarke Listrac, Haut Bergey,Haut Brisson, Sansonnet, Caronne Ste. Gemme, La Croix de Gay etc.

Fun episode!

QOTD: A few back when prices hadn’t yet gone skyward. Can’t remember specifics, but I’ll post later if I get time this evening to go take a look…

QOTD — I went with several ‘no-name’ 2005s that looked like fun!

Gary, you are the BOMB! Epic episode.

I love these blind-tasting shows. I must say, you have an amazing quality/price ratio feeling…unless you’re cheating 🙂
Keep up the good work.

QOTD: Haven’t had an ’05 yet, the last was an ’03. Gotta get me one!

Love the blind tastings!

Fun show, love Bordeaux!

Q – Have bought a number of different wines from that vintage, have a Chateau La Grave that’s been calling my name. I know it needs more time, but I HATE waiting!!

Hey – thanks for yet a super show.

Q.O.T.D.:
A few different 05’s, e.g.: a case of Cht. Cantenac Brown (3’cru) and a case of Cht. Belgrave (5’cru).
WISH I had gotten more (do still buy though), but the prices (as all know) do get a bit steep for a CKC 🙂

Im trying to seek out some great offers for 04′ Bordeaux instead – e.g. in DK a bottle of 04′ Cht. Cheval Blanc only costs one tenth of a bottle of 05′ – and the 04′ is amazing!!! 🙂

(Still hoping for more champagne and port shows – please 😉 )

Love the blinds.

QOTD: None, just can’t get into Bordeaux, tend to stick to the Rhone when it comes to red french wine.

I’ve bought… lots of 05 Bordeaux! All of which I immediately drank!

Yesterday I tried the 05 Ch. Barrail Du Blanc, and all I can say is you HAVE to try it!!! ; )

Gary,

Kudos to the blind tasting………love this type of show. I haven’t commented in a long while, but this show was the tops.

QOTD: I have some O5’s – Chateau Picampeau, Chateau Moulin de Lavaud,and some others…..nothing too high priced. I’m interested in looking for the La Clemence though.

QOTD – Ch. Margaux, Angelus, Leoville Poyferre, Rauzan Segla

QOTD: I put together a modest mixed case of Ch. Haut Brisson, Ch. Pontac Lynch Quintessence, Ch. Valrose Alienoor, and Ch. Fieuzal Rouge.

Great show Gary. Very impressed how you hit the prices on each bottle.

QOTD: I have purchased several 2005 Bordeaux, but don’t plan on drinking any until at least 2010. Chat Sansonnet, Chat Haut Brisson, Chat Beaumont, Chat Quinault L’Enclos, Chat Clarke, Listrac, Chat Potensac and a few other

My cellar leans way heavier to the southern Rhone for my palate. The out number Bordeaux 5:1

Hey Gary! Now you’re ringing my bell with the Bordeaux!

2005 Bordeaux I bought:
Château Au Grand Paris Supérieur
Baron Philippe de Rothschild Mouton Cadet
Château Bel-Air (6)
Domaine du Bouscat (4)
Château Filhot
Château Marjosse (4)
Christian Moueix Merlot Bordeaux Contrôlée
Château Poitevin (2)
Château Sansonnet (case)
Château Tertre de Courban (case)
Vallee de Valeur Mis en Bouteille par EMB 33100 A a Cars France
Château Valrose St. Estèphe Cuvée Alienor (case+++)

I’m still buying, but as you can see, most of what I bought is under $50. And over half is under $25. I’m big on Bordeaux, but just can’t afford to jump in too hardcore with the spendy stuff. I just do the best I can on a budget.

QOTD: I got and am buying more, Calon Segur,Pofyerre,Duhart, Haut Bages Liberal.

QOTD: I’ve only bought a couple. I drank one that was not good at all (Medoc) and had one from Poulliac (sp?) that was really nice, so I got another to hold onto for a while.

Great Show! Gary why don’t you use more glasses so you don’t have to waste so much wine rinsing? Also what do you do with the wine that’s left over?

QOTD: Lots of stuff – Sansonnet, Haut Bergey, Valrose, Faizeau, St Gemme, Tour Seran, Rollan de By, Reignac, Fleur du Bouard, Picampeau, Cour D’argeant, Villars, De Courban

QOTD: Just a Pipeau, Bel-Air Ortet, and Chasse-Spleen bought on a whim so far. I hoping reduction in prices will come around.

GV just knocked it our of the park, just like the last time! I’m shocked…

QOTD: ???

Oh crap. I’m sized for this episode. Time to get a glass of wine and sit back and enjoy.

I’ll be back with comments.

2005 made me perplex, the price point became unbeliveable!!

I bought
Gruaud Larose
Sociando Mallet
Duhard Millon
Montrose
and others

MD

And yes I forgot, I am begining to love those blind tasting more and more

MD dit “le Big”

Gary Great episode….I wish i could afford that last one.
