My meatballs rock the house and will not confuse anyone 🙂

QOTD: Messapicus Salice Salentino

QOTD: not knowingly

Must have been nerve-racking for the show to post…..

Nice change of pace with the single bottle episode.

QOTD: Unfortunately, I have not had any wines from Puglia.

QOTD: No but thanks for showing this region, especially since the are bargains.

Why don’t you drink vodka?

QOTD: No.

Ok Gary, now you are just throwing things at the camera to make it more difficult for next year’s highlight reel!

QOTD: Not yet

QOTD: No, but I am ordering it now.

Good show. I am sipping the Bogel Petite Sirah while I watch this one. It was $11 in Washington.

QOTD: Yes but I don’t remember which one.

Gary, great educational show. My grandma makes Swedish meatballs 🙂

@andrewsundstrom

Nice to have a short one occasionally.

QOTD: Not that I remember, I need to write this stuff down…

Great show Gary!

I’m also drinking the Bogel Petite ’06. $12.99 in the outer metro of Mpls, MN.

QOTD: Not yet.

Say Yes Cynthia!! 🙂

I’m a huge fan of Puglia. The A-mano Primitivo 2001 got me seriously into wine. The metallic base it had and the way it transformed really intrigued me. (I wasn’t much of a fan of the 2003, haven’t tried the latest vintage yet.)

I had the Neprica this fall (not sure what vintage) and thought it was pretty unimpressive. Don’t remember what I didn’t like about it, but it was definitely something I wasn’t interested in buying another bottle of. I wasn’t a big fan of the 2006 Botromagno Primitivo either, which I think you guys sent out an email about.

The 2005 Felline Primitivo di Manduria was awesome, I would definitely buy more of that if you guys get it back in.

The best I’ve ever had, was the 2004 Cantine del Colle Primitivo Falco Grillaio. You need to track down this wine and start carrying it!

I like the idea of the different formats. It will be interesting to see what people like more. Also, meatballs are all about having enough breadcrumbs, parsley, and Romano.

QOTD: Only one, and I couldn’t tell you which. My daughter’s father-in-law is from Puglia, and they have a few very old bottles of red vino around. They don’t drink wine much, but are just keeping it as a keepsake, investment maybe, don’t know. But the labels are very uninformative, primitivo-like. Not IGT… The wine was not memorable.

Will eventually try the Bogle PS, but when I can splurge ? it’s $20 in British Columbia! So normally a pazzzz, but just for curiosity/standards testing.

GOOOOO CARDS!!!! I’m off to Phoenix next week, and will have to settle for watching the Coyotes.

I’m always for rockin’ the boat, and will be highly anticipating the marathon shows!!! The more wines the merrier!

QOTD: It’s uncanny; I just opened my first Puglia wine this afternoon, an inexpensive and acidic red to go with some left over pizza and my homemade sauce (the pizza needed more of it!).

Il Filare Rosso 2006 – Sangiovese and Primitivo blend

Having a dinner party on Friday and was not sure what I was going to cook until this episode. So going to make my chicken parm with smoked mozz and serve this wine.

Awesome interaction with your fans Gary. I am constantly amazed that you put this much time and effort into us.

I have not tasted the hell, though more than once I have tasted the sock from the boot… But thats another story

QOTD: Never had a wine from Puglia. Unfortunately we don’t get great distribution and retail of Italian wines.

I enjoy the variety of lengths of shows. I have noticed that some of the older episodes are a bit shorter. I hope that the show doesn’t go anywhere anytime soon. I once read a yankee’s blog and the guy had a child and that was the end of the blog.

qotd; i have not had a wine from puglia and seeing as though i am from a small town in MN i will probably not be able to find one (Minnesota has some lame wine laws that prevent shipping to our state.)

QOTD: No, not yet… I will look for some this weekend!
P.S. Thanks for being my FB friend 🙂

I’ve tasted the toe, the heel, the inside sweaty laces…only thing is I can’t remember the name of the Puglia wine.

I like the one man-wine format. In fact, I like all formats!!

QOTD: yes, in fact, it’s a wine from Puglia that got me into wine! I had been drinking wine casually, just whatever was available, but nothing ever really grabbed me. Then I was at an Italian restaurant and got a bottle of the 1999 Taurino Notarpanaro and it knocked my socks off. It was so different from any other wine I had before… very complex and earthy flavors, but also somehow a hint of brandy. Loved it, and still do. After that I started exploring other Italian wines and eventually fell in love with things like Barolo and Amarone. Yum!
