90/100

line of the day – ‘we want to continue to expand your palate no matter if the world is exploding outside’ and ‘this wine reminds me of Reese Witherspoon’

Good wines that surprised Gary and he’s always funny when caught off guard

    I just checked the local distributors in Nashville and counted that they sell 4-FOUR Pinotages. That’s it. Not much selection there…

    Loved the show. Great to see some new/different varietals. I’m off to my local wine shop tonight, and if they have any pinotage, I’m buying it! Thanks for always expanding my wine intellect.

    QOTD: Apartheid…and now pinotage.

    Another correction: Your episode title says “Pintoage” instead of “Pinotage”. Whoops!

  • … Diamonds!! ; )
    No, I don’t actually care for diamonds, but I must say, I’ve often been very surprised by South African wines, it seems they really do have a lot to offer!

    Good stuff!

    QOTD: Over-the-top fruitbomb Syrah. Then again, I cannot recall having a Pinotage from S.Africa.

    P.S. There is a misspell in the title for this episode. It’s P-I-N-O-T-A-G-E.

    Love y’all!

    “Capetown to Cairo,” but I’ll look for some pinotage next time I’m in the wine shop. I’ve never had one before. Keep up the good work of expanding my pal. I do the wine purchasing in my family, and my wife loves her fruit bomb cabs and shiraz, but every now and again I slip in a Gigondas or a bordeaux or something I’ve picked up from your show.
