Cool. I had a Castillo Labastida Reserve 01 from WL that was awesome, solid.91 pts.

Marques de Concordia Crianza 2005
from Rioja
87 pts.

Been to Western Canada a few times. Got a lot of Relatives East of
Edmonton, Alberta. Looooove the Banff & Jasper National Park Areas.
Never been to Toronto, though……

Last night, had the 2nd of Two bottles of Domaine Weinbach Schlossberg
Riesling 2003 I bought this Summer. The First Bottle I drank was Super,
maybe 92 or 93 pointer, But this Second Bottle seemed oxidized/flawed
for some reason. What a Bummer! Oh well, a Perfect World it Ain’t….. 🙂

Canada …Meh

Last wine i had…Mollydooker Boxer…hard to rate…fruity vodka…um..i dont know..the wife liked it…caught a nice buzz thats for sure…but for $25 , not my style.

ill always have a place in my heart for Canada, when i was 19 i used to go to Windsor to drink all the time…man i miss those days. Last wine i had was a ’07 Cotes du Rhone, dont remember the name off hand but as is the case with most ’07 CdR it was pretty damn good.

QOTD…As I am just back from CA. spent a week tasting wine in Passo Robles,Santa Cruz mtns. El Dorado Co. Amador Co. and the Lodi area I had a bottle of Victor Hugo Petite Sirah 06 and I would score it a 91+ points

Can’t say much about Canada, never been. I had a 2005 Chateau Faugeres a couple nights ago at home with my wife and mom. We just had some olive bread and cheese with it. I’d give it a 94, really enjoyed it. I’m glad I have a few bottles left.

Ah, props on giving props to Canada – it’s starting to come around up here. I’ve written a lot about the South Okanagan lately and have posted a lot of tasting notes and scores.

Last wine? A sample of saskatoon wine I currently have on oak, which is sitting in the low-mid 80s, but is too young and I’m too inexperienced to know where it will end up in a couple years.

Gary,

It was GREAT seeing you in Toronto yesterday.

We really enjoyed our interview and look forward to getting together in January.

All the best.

Stu

Glad to see this episode! I had been looking for one since you mentioned on Ustream you might. Congrats on the NYT, I still wish you’d bring the book tour to Ohio!!

You should post a picture of Misha in her Halloween costume on Twitter!

QOTD1: Love Canada/Toronto. I was there back in ’04 on a band trip- Canada doesn’t seem to have marching bands, so they absolutely adored us and were too kind. Can’t wait to go back.

QOTD2: 2003 Chamarré Jurançon Tradition (a dessert wine) which I gave 91 points and was absolutely heavenly.

Fun show.

QOTD: Love Canada – but that’s easy being Canadian. Toronto, not so much, but that’s easy coming from B.C.! Go Canucks

QOTD Part II: Novelty Hill 2006 Cabernet. Score = 88.

Glad to hear that others love Canada as much as I do.

QOTD1 – Love Canada. I was in Montreal last week and it was amazing. Visited Toronto a few years back and it is also beautiful. Wonderful people from that country.

QOTD2 – Last wine I had was a 2006 Wolf Blass Gold Label Shiraz. It was rated 91 points. I liked it, but probably about 88-89 points worth.
Thanks Chris

Hey Gary-

Big fan of Canada, growing up 30 miles from Detroit we spent many a weekend in Windsor before turning 21! The beer is great, the women are smoking hot, and the best fresh water fishing in the world.

Toronto is a great city. Clean, safe, great night life and shopping, and a kick ass zoo!

I’m hoping to get to the Niagra area soon. I’m really excited about the area and their wines too. Love the ice wine.

QOTD: Went to Toronto for a soccer match between Chicago Fire v Toronto FC and its an awesome city and good times. Everyone should check it out.
