AWESOME!!!!!!! love to see a pomerol tasting. if you want to post something from the 00,98 and 82 tasting, i would love to see that.
in terms of the petite village, i opened a 01 st emilion from chat quercey over the summer. i decanted it for about 3 hours and it was singing. st emilion and pomerol are a stones throw away. a lot of the elements that you were picking up in the 01 were similar to what was coming to me – plums, good cherry, cinnamon a little spice… yum. maybe taste the village tomorrow again.

QOTD – pomerol, love it. i cannot say i have so much experience with it cause A. it aint cheap, B. it is not all over the place. i have a few bottles in my cellar – fleure de gay 05, la pointe 04 and 01 vray croix de gay 01. i had some 95 and 96 that are gone. the 95 was kinda cooked and the 95 was sweet.
prt 2 no friggin clue

Gary—

Never had a Pomerol. Will we be sampling on the Thunder Cruise? (Ohhh, just a month away! YAY!).

American Idol lost me completely after the Sanjaya fiasco. My best friend’s daughter is a current finalist in the “Cleveland Idol” knockoff. I vote for HER! You go, Mary!

I, too, like the short but sweet shows like this one. And I miss the laid back Fridays. Just so ya know! And—next time do show us your cellar…and GVJr.’s room!

Cool Episode…Toooooooooooooo Funny!

QOTD: Petrus, have had some want more!! Danny Gokey!!

GV…My QOTD to you…Who washed the glasses? better not say Lizzie in her condition.

QOTD: havent had Pomerol, cant enter into it! If anyone can suggest one for say under 20$… but 49 euro.. HA!

QOTD2: I fell off watching Idol. How can they top Paula high as a kite?

I have only had a couple of Pomerols, but the 2000 Chateau Hosanna was AMAZING. It was one of the best Bordeaux I’ve had, probably beating some left bank wines (I know, it’s an unfair comparison as they’re so different) that were more than twice the price.

I have never seen American Idol. I plan to keep it that way.

Yo Gary! I’ve been loving your episodes ever since I found WLTV. Amazing stuff and has helped me alot on my studies as well. I’ve just been wondering and pondering.. where do you find these “Parker” scores or where do you ‘look’ them up?

QOTD: As for Pomerol. I’ve never had one. I think I will go purchase one this weekend. Really interested to find out how Pomerol tastes. Also liking these ‘chill-out’ style of Pomerol.

I have no idea about the American Idol thingie. But let’s say that Jack will win (if theres one).

Nice episode. Thanks for the dedication!

QOTD: Pomerol is on my to do list of 2009 – of late I’ve been working through rioja wines and getting introduced to Bordeaux. I love merlot based wines and I love the old world flavor profiles so I’m looking forward to what that the Pom. region has in store.

American Idol: Danny will win. Gary, when do you have time to watch American Idol? Seriously incredible.

Nice TV.

Q1: Pomerol is now on my list 🙂
Q2: Danny Gokey wins Idol

Hey I embrace the brownie-brown! BTW, I think a dried plum is a prune right?

QOTD1: I like the sound of Pomerol, very chill sounding – great place to work a harvest perhaps?

QOTD2: I haven’t been following AI this year

QOTD: Pomerol is a wonderful area! Everytime I have had a wine from that region they have been delish!

American Idol: I don’t really watch it.

Sorry, haven’t cared about American Idol since season 2, so I have no idea.

Question for you Gary — how many bottles do you have in your private collection? Just curious, since I just started stocking my own cellar.

Gotta love working from home!…but I usually stay in the pajamas. anyways…

QOTD: I’ve only tried a few Pomerol, unfortunately. More experience with the left bank stuff.

QOTD part deux: Adam isn’t my favorite contestant, but he’s my pick to win in the early stages

Great show!
Q1: I love Pomerol and have had some great wines from that region. I am a big fan of the merlot with some cab franc splashed in.
Q2: I’m going to go out on a limb and take sort of a long shot with Allison. She has a great rock voice.

GV – American Wine Idol. I have been comparing my palate to yours by tasting the same wines you review and I am finding that we have similar preferences. That said, I think I will pass on Pomerol, at least for the time being.

Have a good trip, GV!

Like right bank wines, but haven’t had many Pomerols due to the high prices.

I would guess that Allison Iraheta will win this year…

Nice little video format. Flip cams are fun. BTW, the yellow flowers behind you look great.

QOTD1: I like the nice roundedness of pomerol , meaning the astringency is there and the smell is there and the aftertaste is just lovely wood/fruit driven, but they tend to be expensive wines given the company they keep. Chateau Rouget comes to mind, around $37 US.

QOTD2: Absolutely no idea who will win american idol. Don’t watch the show unfortunately so I can’t asses an educated guess.

Gary,
Nice episode on the pair of Pomerols – – I was curious about your glassware – – what brand glasses were you tasting from? I liked them.

Keep up the good work – – love the show’s recent renaissance!
