See Gary, now Chad is breaking all the Miami hearts. Hoping for a Steelers and Giants Super Bowl.

Now some wine.

Hi Gary,

First time dedicated mourvèdre/monastrell.

Jens from Copenhagen

Looking forward to this!

Hej Jens!

Rart at se nogle flere danskere har fundet WLT!

Hvor lang tid har du set Gary’s “show”?

Top ten! Happy New Year!

Top 10…Woo Hoo!!!!!

QOTD as a minor (under 30%) part of a blend, Mourvedre brings a lot. I’ve yet to have a wine over 50% Mourvedre I’ve really really liked

happy new year Gary!

i daresay i’ll have to check me out some Bandol Mouvedre – a good alternative to hermitage and chateau-neuf you say? sounds good to me!
qotd – i’ve only ever had mouvedre as a partial blend of other variatals — be it syrah, merlot.. looking forward to trying it out!

Hi Toby

Jeg har kendt Gary siden august 2006, dvs. da ‘showet’ var ca. ½ år gammelt. Har imidlertid også mødt ham tre gange, hhv. i april 2007 og i oktober 2008. Sidste gang til Wine Library’s ‘super tasting’.

Jens from Copenhagen

Gary: You’ve had shows with PaPa and little brother; how about a show with MaMa and little sister?
Smell it first. TR

Hey GV and Mott – Never heard of Mouvedre, but I am a Shiraz fan so I’m intrigued. A few side notes for future shows….

– If GV was going to live on an island for the rest of his life and he could only take 5 bottles of wine with him, what would they be?

– If GV’s best friend was going on a date and wanted to impress the girl with a red, what would it be?

– When it comes to value wines in 2009, will we see Columbia Crest?

Peace, SW

Movedre is one wine I don’t get enough of. Mostly I drink Montastral from Spain though I have had the4 Bandol wines several times. I have had on that was 30 years old and quite drinkable. I think Cline gets overlooked because it is so far south that few people seem to get there but they do have some good wine values. I will keep trying Oz wines but I have been so turned off by everything I have had recently it is hard to get excited about them.

Dude- thank you so much for doing a Mouvedre show- I requested it a while back and its so awesome to see! Definitely one of my favorite grapes. Big ups.

Thanks for the info. I’ve always wondered about Mouvedre as a varietal. But, (qotd answer)I’ve never had any other than in blends; and those are mostly either from CdP or Australian GSM’s. I do, however, have some in my cellar that I’m waiting on.

Nååhh – det var måske dig han ref. til da han smagte nogle super vine sammen med en gæst, og prøvede at beskrive “rigtig” lakrids(?)

Har desværre ikke mødt ham personligt endnu – sidst jeg var i USA (sidste år), havde jeg desværre ikke tid til at tage turen til New Jersey.
Har dog skrevet lidt sammen med ham (dengang han havde god tid til den slags), hvor vi har talt om at mødes, hvis han skulle slå vejen forbi lille DK en gang…

…Nå men det var da rigtig sjovt at støde på dig. Håber at fange dig i kommentarerne en anden gang 🙂

QOTD: Domaine Léon Barral, Vallinière, Faugères. Château de Beaucastel, Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Forresten, Toby, hvor længe har du kendt the Thunder Show? Hvis du ser denne episode: http://tv.winelibrary.com/2008/10/14/party-time-at-wine-library-episode-557/ og går hen ca. lidt før 21:00, kan du høre Gary Vee referere til mig, som står lige til højre for Mott og kameraet.

Jens

top 20 ?!!? yaabaa daabaa dooooooooooooooooooooo !!! 🙂

Overpriced, but damn good. I like how you tell it like it is Gary.

Not sure I want my wine to taste like flaming big wheels though, do I?

>Toby,

Ja, jeg har afgivet endnu en kommentar med et link til den episode fra oktober, hvor Gary refererede til mig, men den afventer moderation. Sjovt at du husker det med den franske lakrids.

Lad os mødes her på siden en anden gang.

Top 20! Go Mourvedre!

Mourvedre? Mainly the budget jones Spanish stuff (meh) and the odd Rhone Ranger blend (now that I think about it, I’ve had a few ESJs with a healthy chunk of mourvedre that were just wonderful). I know there’s a Bandol or two around here, but I figured they needed a few more years of sleep yet …

qotd: just some GSM’s….tho it sounds like a wine i would be very much into…

QOTD: The 2004 Le Galantin (thank you) and the 2005 Castano Hecula Yecla (a very good $10 play). Like the varietal very much.
