Ringo Star : Syrah..hearty, spicy

Fun question….

I can’t see myself buying wine as investment, partly because I buy only a few bottles of any given wine for my own consumption and I keep about 30 bottles in a temperature controlled cellar for future experiences.

But if you have the kind of money to buy cases of first growth Bordeaux from a good vintage at release price, you could make money for sure. Thou I know much safer, faster and better return investments here in Brazil.

Come down here GV, this is the country of the present! We are already growing fast after a minor deceleration from that crisis that started somewhere in the northern hemisphere…

Best wishes,

Wine collecting is a very interesting activity, one you need a substantial amount of money to actually make a killing at, it is still a speculator’s market.IMHO.
I’d rather guard and drink from my cellar than just keeping it in investment storage but I hope to one day be able to keep a few for that specific reason, there will always be a wine that will go up in demand elsewhere.

QOTD: Wow, a great question of the day, it will be hard but here it goes:

Ringo: a spicy Merlot.
George: A Calvados.
John: Brandy.
Paul: a nice round heavy Bordeaux.

Good show.

QOTD: Crap, now we have to THINK about the question of the day 🙂

Paul-Romanee Conti; Ages well, focused.
John-Universal Bordeaux, blend and vintage. Great variation and range.
George-Spanish Rioja. Sometimes brilliant but almost always steady, sturdy and workmanlike.
Ringo-Non-Vintage Champaign. Bubbly, showy but not very complex.

good episode
I respect what you’re doing, Adrian, but I worry that the accessability and commonality of wine investment is driving more and more people towards it and making many great wines unattainable to so many consumers (me included). I don’t blame you personally, though (well, maybe a little, but I don’t dislike you for it). Thanks.

Good show ol chap. I invest in future wine. At least a couple cases a year from barrel tastings in Sonoma. I always want to drink the best wine I have right now, so I don’t think I’ll be doing the long term thing anytime soon. I have heard it’s a good play as a hedge against some other bad investments.
I think I’ll need a nap before I can think of Ringo as a wine.

great show garyvee!!!

george: melbec…in the shadows but extremely vital
paul: pinot noir…annoying/overrated
john: chardonnay…popular for good reasons
ringo: something forgettable and nonessential

Interesting show. Not really my bag, because I love drinking the stuff so much, but Loved the guest! Cool dude…best QOTD ever.

QOTD:
Paul-Cabernet, Sometimes taken for granted, but can always count on it for class.
John-Pino Noir, complex as hell but sometimes hard to understand
Ringo-Pecorino, cause he’s a little wierd and nerdy, but has something unique
George-Petit Verdot, often looked over, or forgotten about but some of the best content out there.

Holy crap. That was way fun, Hey Gary, you totally need to read this comment.

Nice having Adrian Lenegan on as a guest. A wine topic you dont see as often, even on here where most guests come from wineries.
not gonna try to answer the qotd. not gonna compete w Pary B & John Farrin’s answers, they were stellar.
Besides, I dont know the beatles that well, a little before my time, as universal as they may be considered.

Paul= Sauternes
John= Cab
George= Malbec
Ringo= Port

good show. i know that it is not for everyone and will put some people off, but it is there.
SOOOOOO happy you brought in pousse d’or ( POOS DOOR) ‘ golden growth’ i have some of their wines but i have not opened any. one day. i have been buying them on friends that are big burg fiends and say they are the bomb. i have a bottle of the o6 clos du roi ( clos du wah) ‘ roi ‘ means king in french. i might need to buy another bottle.
qotd – here we go

john – might have to be barolo. delicate, heavy mysterious and is built to age, hard to penetrate
paul – could be bordeaux. the brains of the band and very much the business man of the band
ringo – ringo would have to be either veuve clicquot – the go to” feel good” bubbly
george – george was the spiritual leader of the band, so maybe clos coulee de la serrant

H’m, my original comment seems to have been lost in cyberspace, so I’ll just say, keep plugging that c-site, GV!

Seriously, best QOTD ever….

John – Nebbiolo or maybe Tannat, takes years to be accessible. Dark, brooding.
Paul – Definitely the Bordeaux, name recognition, worldwide appreciation, yet still complicated despite his celebrity status.
Ringo – Gotta go dessert wine. Tokay. Sweet, sometimes too much so, but so pleasant you can’t really hate him.
George – This is a tough one. I think I’ll go German Riesling. Complicated and very underappreciated, especially since he’s surrounded by so many other greats.

Awesome show.

Collecting wine is a tradition in Europe, only even for own consumption my father and I have being doing it jointly since I was born.
I am glad to here that there are changes coming in wine scoring !
The thunder is to change this in the wine world but anyway to bring references to the consumers!
JN – French wine entrepreneur

Very cool guest. Nice episode. Great interview! 🙂

QOTD: I don’t have enough wine experience to answer his question but I look forward to seeing others’ responses.

Another interesting guest. It’s not an area of the wine world that excites me, and not just because I couldn’t afford to collect, but all information is useful.

QOTD:
John: brilliant, complicated, somewhat prickly – Burgundy
Paul: approachable, unjustly maligned – Australian Shiraz
George: quiet, often overlooked, in some ways the most talented of the lot – Chardonnay
Ringo: self-effacing, less obviously talented but still exceptionally good – Malbec

Ask me again in twenty minutes and I’ll have different answers.
