Wear the mic; you need to move up in sophistication…you show is gaining popularity.

Can someone please write the grape varities in the 06 Esporao Reserva?

Go for it Gary! Wear the mic. Technology is good.

Fredo: I’ll do it when I get home today (Monday). It’s good so I highly recommend it for what it’s worth.

Fredo: Made with Trincadeira, Aragonês and Cabernet Sauvignon, with 20 yr old vines, this is the flagship wine of the company, matured in new American oak barrels for 12 months, followed by 12 months in bottle

Plus Aliconte Bouchet?

qotd; no, do the mike only when you do remote stuff. in your office the camera works fine.

Gary,

QOTD: No.

Interesting show about a region that I am completely unfamiliar with. I will have to try some Alentejo soon.

QOTD: I don’t think you need the mic when in the office but whenever you are on location, you definitely need to use the mic.

QOTD: Try it! Why not!?

Interesting show, never heard of this region.

Q- NO

I think you sound great without a mic. I would like to hear Mott more however :-)!! Effin love you, keep it up yo!!!!!!!!

Portugese wines are like non existence in Malaysia but maybe I wasn’t looking hard enough. Gary a request, can you try Vida Nova? A pal of mine is a great fan of Cliff and I’m trying to get him to WLTV and maybe by tasting Vida Nova might just do the trick…

you dont need a mic, but i am in favor of turning up the volume since the volume doesn’t go too high on my computer. thanks!

Dear Gerry,

Love the show. I am a longtime winenerd and you just drank my “housewine” the Esporao from Alentejo. Glad you liked it just as much as i do.
Lots of succes and congr. on the little one.

No to the mike, you sound great without it. Use it when you are on the road as the sound is generally poor then

Gary, PLEASE never do another Alentejo special. This wine region is one of the best kept secrets in the wine world and let’s keep it that way, lest prices triple. From there I suggest you try these two: “Monte do Pintor” and “Vinha do Moura”. (By the way, the “j” in Alentejo is pronounced as in “jonas”, not the Spanish way. Cheers)

Portuguese wine rocks! Alentejo area is my favorite and my son’s ….. Since I live in Florida I thank my cousin and his wife who are always shipping me wine to satisfy our “saudades”…. it is a well kept secret.

Hey Gary!

No love lost but that is the most screwed up pronouciation of Alentejo I've ever heard. Because i can't help being a cool guy, here's a cheat to say the name of this Portuguese region like a native would!

a[cacia]
len[s]
te[rrorist]
ju[venile]

Now, Minho and Dao are two words that have sounds specific to Portuguese and not found in English so I will forgive your inaccuracies in both but I know you can say Douro!

Do[me]
Ru[ral]

Not Duero like those idiots in Spain use to say! (jk love Spain and Spanish peeps)

KUTG and get some more Portuguese wine in the show.
