Thank you once again for taking the time to do a very interesting show. You may be a “Triple Z” player, but I really don’t see Bill Gates taking the time to do a webcast almost everyday. You’re a “Triple A” player in my book. Not suprised Cali took the winner’s spot.

QOTD: I like the EQ from Chile.

Gary – It’s the Ricola cough drops you’re thinking of.

great show love the pinots of anderson valley .surprised the oregon didnt show better .
montes sryah from chile good value too

Once again a really great show, Gary. And a suprising result too.
QOFD: Best so far was the Concha y Toro Marques de Casa Concha Syrah 05/06. For my Palate even above the Don Melchor, because i’m not in love with that little rustic tannic cabernet style.

Greetz from Germany

Another great show in the bag… get it?…

Nice flashback too.

Great show. I think once a week you should go blind.

QOTD:Don Melchor Private Reserve Cab.

wow Mott, working today, earnin that pay. hey think you can link and zoom all at once.

WO WO WO, since when does “dry” mean it has lots of tannin? I though “dry” means no residual sugar?

hey 8 is my favorite # too.

Gary come on, we all know the KoolAid man does not say “what up.”

wow i just had a flash back!

Gary- You’re definitely thinking of Lindeman’s- I love them too. nothing like giving kids meds that taste like candy.

Love the blind tasting format

Gary, I love the blind tastings! Keep doing them.
Unfortunately, I can’t remember the best Chilean wine I’ve had, but I know I’ve had some that I liked a lot.

Loved the show, Gary! Blind tastings are fun!

QOTD. The best chilean wine I had… hum… I would say Amayna Sauvignon Blanc Barrel Fermented 2006.
Casa Marin wines are good as well, but a little pricey, in my opinion.

Gary,

The Chilean wine I´ve had was

Viu Manent – Single Vineyard 2004 – Cabernet Sauvignon

Doug
from São Paulo, Brazil.

Enjoy the blind testing shows – more please….

Gary,

the bests Chilena wines I´ve had:

1) Viu Manent – Single Vineyard 2004 – Cabernet Sauvignon

2) Viu Manent – Single Vineyard 2006 – Malbec
(oh yes, Malbec from Chile)

Doug

Awesome show!

I love blind tastings!

QOTD: I haven’t had many wines from Chile, let alone a Pinot. I always found their Cabs over-oaked.

Am I the only one who finds Portuguese varietals sometimes have Pinot-like characteristics? For example the Quinta Bons-Ventos fromthe Estremadura and the Meia Encosta which is primarily Touriga Nacional, along with some Jaen, Alfrocheiro and Tinta Roriz. They are rare, but some wines come out quite Pinot-like: light, smokey, red fruit, acidic, etc…

Hey Gary, I enjoyed today’s show on Pinot Noir. I am just starting to enjoy this varietal after all these years. I took your advise and found 6 bottles of Sojourn 06 Sonoma Coast online and they told me it is going fast. Thanks!

Hey this will be my first post and i gotta say i love the blind format its very informative. As a young man and new to the wine world i have to say i am already very exploitative and this helps me at a starting point to try in different regions without the fear of buying the worst they may have to offer.
Thanks so much and ill be watching.

Love the blind tastings–adds intrigue.

QOTD: I’ve had the 2005 Amayna from Chile, and recall liking it but didn’t save any notes. The 2007 Casa Marin Sauvignon Blanc was very good. I’m getting some 2004 Valdiviesco Cab Franc next week that I’m pretty excited about.

I love love love the blind tasting format. Please please please do more blind tastings.

QOTD: the only wine I have had from form Chile so far is a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon from Montes Alpha. I did like it and need to try more Chilean stuff

You the best Gary, Thank you so much for all the shows.

Actually Gary, I had that Louis Jadot in a rather dodgy motel somewhere in Reims and its complete dirt. I felt exactly the same way about it, I remember giving it back to the somm, myself and my brother retreated back to the motel and popped a ?10 vacqueyras drunk from plastic beakers and gazing out over the motorway…. it was 10 times the wine.
