QOTD- 05 Cos D’Estournal. Had it at a tasting and had to buy it, I remembered this wine from your vid and your book. Truly out of this world. I’m sure this wine will only get better with time and a wine to have for that very special moment.

QOTD: Bought over 50 bottles of different 2005 Chateaus! All latter growths but some great buys! Really love Bordeaux wines and wish I could just once try a 1st growth so I could really gauge my pallet against lesser growths and learn what a REALLY GREAT Bordeaux IS!

You lived on a farm?
Nice appearance on the Early Show. You looked comfortable.
Entertaining blind tasting. You’re getting really good at this. Be careful or the 2005s will report you for harrassment.

QOTD – got a few of them from your recommendations, and from a local store…

Hehe, really enjoy this!

Just came back from the 2005 Bordeaux tasting at last week. Saint-Julien wines obviously won my heart, especially, Ch. Leoville Poyferre, Ch. Lagrange and Ch. Talbot, much better than other Bordeaux red wines. Right time to taste. Graves and Sauternes also rocked.

QOTD: I bought some basic 2005 Bordeaux last year. Amongst, Chateau Grand Ferrand from Entre-Deux-Mers was a sexy and delicate wine, 100% Merlot, and the winner out of a box of six.

Great episode, blind tasting is like lottery. hehe, love it!@

Great Show!

QOD: I bought La Clemence a week ago! Will buy more! You are so money on your descriptions! Mikey you dont know how money you are!

Big G, Thank you for being you man.

Fun episode!

QOTD – I am not a big fan of Bordeaux, but I did drink an ’05 at a friend’s house about a month ago, and I do remember telling my wife that the wine tasted like poop, Not exactly in those terms, but there is something about them that turn me off.

Keep the blinds coming, or maybe do a blend comparison show, like super Tuscans, Meritages, and some of the Spanish blends that I love so much.

I missed you in the Early Show, see if you can add the video to the national appearances column.

GREAT Show!!!

I love the 2005 Bordeaux shows…especially done blind.

QOTD: I went nuts on the futures for ’05:
Chat. Nenin
Chat. Vieux Certain
Chat. Clos Vielle Eglise
Chat. Grand Puy Lacoste
Chat. Gruard Larose
Chat. Fombrauge
Chat. Batailley
and Winemaker’s Collection Episode 1
(and a few other smaller producers that are a bit more accessible now)
(If only the 1er Crus were cheaper)

–RH

Great show!! More blind tasting please! You nailed almost perfectly all of them…QOTD: I bought

Chateau D’Armailhac
Chateau Puygueraud
Chateau Clerc Milon
Chateau Du Seguinier
Chateau Guy Arnaud

Also some Sauternes:

Chateau D’Arch
Chateau Guirard

Ch. Guiraud’s sweet and it’s second. And a Clerc Milon. Sitting on them.

Awesome episode again.

QOTD: Château Beychevelle

Great show. Since I am still new to Bordeaux wines, I tried to select a wine from each major appellation. Thought this would be a great opportunity to get to know the different styles of each appellation and to see what I prefer. Most are $15-30 wines, most are cru bourgeois. I rather bought more bottles instead of buying the top stuff. Here is a selection:

Chateau Beaumont
Chateau d’Aurilhac
Chateau La Gurgue
Chateau Duhart-Milon
Chateau Couhins (red and white)
Chateau Gloria
Chateau Tailhas
Chateau La Bourrée
Chateau Cantin
Chateau Chasse-Spleen
Chateau Pey La Tour Réserve
Chateau Reysson Reserve
Chateau de Gironville

Love the blind tastings!!

Hi Gary, Great show…..love the blind tasting shows….I had most recently had Christian Mouiex 2003 Bordeaux Merlot….it was good not great but it was the right price….

Hey Gary,
I LOVE ’05 Bordeaux. I can’t wait to see how it does in the next 5 years or so. I bought a few Château La Tour de Mons, already had one and it was pretty good. Can’t imagine how better it will get. If you had this wine, I’d love to hear your comments.

Didn’t know you lived on a farm…rather shovel sh#* than ice! LOL 🙂

Love the blind tasting room and boy are you good!! Nice eps!

QOTD: Château Les Graves de Barrau

Thanks for another great episode. I am impressed by your ability to predict the prices of the wines.
qotd: I haven’t bought much, but I did really enjoy the ’05 Chateau Carbonnieux (sp?) Blanc. I don’t have a lot of experience with white Bordeaux, but this is probably the best I have had. I am saddened by the fact that here in Maine it is being sold for about $55. The suggested retail is actually $35, which is about the price I paid in New Hampshire several months ago. I won’t name names, but I suspect that the Maine distributor who carries it bought it at retail in New Hampshire and is reselling it at their usual markup. jerks.

Great Show!

QOTD:
2005 Chateau Cantemerle – Fifth Growth
It’s cellared for now and will open one in 2010. I have had several of the 2000 vintage. Loved it. Great QPR in my opinion.
Also:
Chateau Bellevue Fronsac
Chateau Malmaison

QOTD. Bought a 5 cases or so of ’05 Bordeaux. Most of them from WL in that $20-30 range. Pretty excited as they are supposed to be delivered today. Good timing!

i cut class to see you on tv, and the segment was WAY to short. you’re prettier on tv, and 3 minutes of gorge gv is not enough.
