The one thing that sucks about receiving your diploma is losing your status as an official member of the C.K.C.

Great episode–looks like a beautiful in NYC.

Gary: Love to see you relaxed at home with a great bottle of wine. Haven’t tried a Hermitage, but will on my next trip my local wine haunt.

QOTD: Hide like a lil’ girl in my 68 degree air conditioned house!

QOTD: Weekend – Cape Cod
Workweek – Eat in downtown Boston and people watch.

Sit under my grape arbor and share a bottel of wine with a freind.

Gary,
It was humbling for me that you did a EP based on that wine. Thank you for the description. That’s all I have to say.

Reading through the comments, I see people saying that they simply “would not pay 130 for 91+ points”. Though I appreciate the sentiment about wallet sting, it misses the point that there really is nothing in the world like drinking an aged Hermitage or Cote Rotie. They are extraordinary wines, full of character, and from the Rhone giants like Guigal, Chapoutier, Jaboulet and J.L. Chave, they generally age extremely well. I was hoping you would say something about the 2007 vintage in comparison to 1990. For collectors, buying the ’07s now, one can still get some excellent values and they will only go up in price. I also remember the 2003 Guigal Hermitage you tasted a few hundred episodes ago that simply floored you, which was only $50/btl.

Thanks again Gary,

-CK

QOTD: Here in the mid-south, I stay inside and watch WLTV!

On a super hot day i love to drink ice cold vinho verde from portugal

QOTD: On a work day, a tall glass of Ice Tea. On a day off, a crisp, friuty dry Riesling or other lovely white wine that isn’t Chardonnay.

VERY excited that you’re coming to the SF Bay Area in October. Can’t Wait!
Please let me know if you need any help and I’ll see what I can do.
Maybe a side trip to the Anderson Valley??? : )

Believe it or not I go cycling.

95 degrees in Arizona is a cool fall day. Head to the park and maybe even bring a sweater, in case we get cold 😉

Representing the CKC at Virginia Tech.

Personally when it’s nice (despite the heat), I hop in the plane and take it around the area.

Love the show!

Good show and good information.

QOTD – Here in Texas where it stays 100+ for a good portion of the summer, we try to stay cool.

QOTD: Spent most of today on a train sadly, coming down from Scotland having been at the Edinburgh Fringe festival – amazing time in the most beautiful city in the UK.

Qotd I go surfing at my favorite spot, Huntington Beach, CA.

hair cut makes you look scary har

qotd: Um Melt.

Second comment I know, but I just found out that I’ll be tasting this wine this week for a mere £4 – I’m very excited!

Big ups on the Rhone shout out. Huge fan of Rhone wines. I agree ENOUGH already with the HUGE Cali Cabs! Fans of those wines need to broaden their horizons. They are missing out on a huge world of wine. Variety is the spicwe of life & i ain’t just talking women here!

The hair is quite the Schindlers list look so have to say NAY!

Hit the beach on a hot steamy NYC day. Robert Moses is the spot if you can’t make it to the Hamptons!

Let the Dirty Sanchez experiment begin!
