QOTD: Clinton Vineyards Cassis, with any good dry white wine or champagne.

QOTD … it’s big ass red wine season.

qotd: not too sure what im looking for. hoping to get turned on to some new stuff at the super tasting tomorrow

oh, not a good start… I don¡t know if you have tasted it, the 2008 Alta Vist Premium Torrontes in my opinion is not bad at all, here- http://bit.ly/4aj8Ee.

QOTD: I am looking to have a Vega-Sicilia Unico again (fall veggies go great with it), and something that was on the NY Times: Orange Wines, never had one and I am very curious about them.

qotd – I’m into rustic wines this time of year whether it be a dusty old barolo an inexpensive french country wine or anything in between. If it’s made well and has the stuff I’m a happy man.

Speaking of being a happy man, my Fins just drove the ball down the J-E-T-S throat to take a 7-0 lead.

Cheers!

QOTD: Anything big and red and delicious.

QOTD: priorat and bandol
I don’t care for Torrontes, but I’ve only tried a couple.
P.S. I’m watching my very first Jets game.

I was in an Argentinian wine taste here in mexico and tasted a torrontes (which name I can’t remember) but ohhhh was it gooood, it was like sticking your nose and tongue into an eden’s harvest hahaha. bautiful sweet peaches, melon, appricot, green apple, just awesome. It was from la rioja argentina.

QOTD: Big fat thick stinky Barolo (saving the bucks to buy a nice one)

Hi, Gary– Just wanted to thank you again for the great talk and tasting on Saturday, and for signing my copy of your book. Really hope you and Bob do well with it. Hope you do another talk at next year’s Food & Wine Festival; we will be there!

QOTD: I have a couple of bottles of that amazing Chat de St. Cosme gigondas you recommended, and I’ve got an 05 Opus One that I’m saving for my birthday next month. Give us some more big, meaty reds, Gary; we love ’em!

Gary
you may have not tried enough torrontes to understand this grape. Maybe you should come to the roots and visit Argentina where you will have a very large selection of wines from this grape to taste and appreciate.

should you find Domingo Molina torrontes (same imery name), or Ciclos torrontes from El Esteco or Quara Reserva Torrontes from Lavaque, you should give them a try.
It’s a complex grape I tell you
Come to Arg and taste them with us.
cheers!
Mel

OMG I remember, It’s called La puerta, torrontes… really all you reading this u MUST taste that if you wanna go with a good torrontes impression

I am trying to watch the game and WLTV. Congrats on your nomination in the Wine Enthusiast. I just got noticed that my copy of Crush It shipped today and look forward to seeing you in Atlanta on Dec. 14. QOTD – I look forward to drinking Port again and having some earthy reds from Europe this fall and winter.

So sad you aren’t coming to Pittsburgh for the tour! I’m sending my sister in Portland as my envoy. Good luck and travel safe!

QOTD: Petite sirah. Its the season for light, fruity reds.

QOTD: Provence-Ventoux-Languedoc-Pic St. Loup.

You really missed a bet not tasting Yellow + Blue Torrontes today.

Fabulous, flowery organic Torrontes for ten bucks a liter! My brother the beer drinker, who prefers really hoppy beers, ended up drinking it right out of the tetra-pak at our last family gathering. He’s not a wine drinker, but it brought some thunder to his palate that day.

This fall I’m hoping to find more Cananau. So far the best I’ve been able to find is Argiolas… but there has to be more out there!

The Jelu Torrontes from Zonda Valley, San Juan , Argentina is the bomb. Try it.

I will be sipping bourbon all winter for sure.

I have found Torrontes a hit or miss wine myself. The Urban is very good, La Linda nice, Colome is intense and great. I have had some of Simonassi’s wines and I thought they were pretty good values.

QOTD: I drink red and white all year regardless of the weather, but I am excited to try more of my Sineann WOTMOCL Pinots in the next few months.

Yo GV. I was aboot to tell you about the Friday wine linked vs mentioned diff, but I see others noted it. Good luck on your tour, I hope you have an awesome time!!

QOTD: I am pretty pumped about still finding the Geyser Peak 2005 Cab Sauv. I just bought a couple of bottles today. I would totally get a case if I had the bones.

QOTD – I am looking for a heavier more full bodied white. I will know it when I taste it, guess I am going to have to start trying…

Rough start to the week! Ah, well.

QOTD: probably Bordeaux. Plus, it’s time to toss some good dark rum, spices and a little butter into fresh cider, simmer it and remember again why we like cooler weather…

I am looking forward to drinking some Syrah from Walla Walla Washington- K Vintner’s to be exact.

Agree 100% about Torrontes lately. Had one a few months ago at a wine bar and it tasted like palmolive. Not at all pleasant.

QOTD: I will be focusing on Spanish and Portugese wines soon. (Digging the Italian Vino, presently.) Also, I’m looking for a good mulled wine recipe for Xmas.

QOTD – anything on my cellar…
