QOTD: yes, it would be a zin.

gnarly head? or was that the one i hated?

i dunno. but it was a zin. indeed.

Great to see that I am the second one on here. Still loving the show. Keep it up Gary.

You should do the same exact wines. No label difference at all. Same year, same model. Maybe even the same case. Maybe not.

Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape white 05, I wish.
How do you make a small fortune in the wine business?,
start with a large fortune and buy a winery.

qotd: 2003 clarendon hills grenache, I remember it cause of an off vintage but was loaded with raspberry (which sucks me right in) and spices I also got at a great price which is always a plus.

QOTD – Hands down a 2005 Janasse Vielles Vignes, it absolutely blew my head off.

CKC 4 EVA FO SHOOOOOOO

I liked this episode. I began trying the Chinons over the past few months, and I must say, I love them. I think I might buy both of these wines and do this test myself. Cool idea.

QOTD: I’ve had lots of old vine Zins, and I tend to like them. I really liked the Cline old vine Zinfandel 2004 (?) vintage. Deliciousness…

Nadeau family vintners “Criticle Mass” Zinfandel 2001 explodes with fruit.

You rock Gary!

Very informative and interesting, as usual ! All the best from Naples Kathy, aka Champagne Lady

I can’t remember too many old vines stuff I’ve had. Maybe the Joly Saviernes I had was. It was awesome of course. who was the dude in the waldo shirt?
I love me some chinon. I’ll have to get some mo’.

QOTD: I’ve only had one old vine wine, a 2005 Château Segonzac (bordeaux), it was quite astringent and fruty, but good.

GV..great idea for a show. Very clever

Great show – loved the format.
QOTD: Would have to go with any old vines Spanish Garnacha.

QOTD: Old Vines Zins from Pezi King and Seghesio are tops.

Had a Cab Franc from Saumur last year that did not care for at all. Good episode here to entice us to try something new again.

great chinon… time for some barnyard, sheeps ass/ flemington fair action… I am guessing alot of graphite as well… time to watch!

Ha. I’m only 2 minutes into this episode, and already I see what I like best about it — the “official lurker” T-shirt 🙂 That is just awesome 🙂 So, having said that, now I will go listen to the rest of it so that I can be better informed about the actual topic of today’s episode (and yes, I am excited to learn about chinon 🙂

just a simple idea for a show yet so poignant.i need to get some nice chinon. every time a take a bottle, it just seems unfocused and not that exciting. some friends whom i trust a lot tell me to keep trying…. so i am.

QOTD – that is a tuff one. i can’t say a particular wine, but the VV burgundies that i have had have been a lot better than the “normal” cuvee. i always am looking for the VV esp with burgs.

side note – with older and wiser – perfect example, Homer and Lisa Simpson HA!

QOTD: i am too new to this; so I am not sure

again; great show

Great concept + Chinon = win.

QOD: Pepiere Clos des Briords Muscadet.

Turkey Flat Shiraz for sure.
