QOTD: My wife and I are going to my Grandma’s house same as we have done since I can remember. Definitely bringing some wine. Probably a couple bottles of Loredona Riesling.

I love the big boy wines. Lone Madrone made a wine last year called the Barfindel (Barbera and Zinfandel). It clocks in at 16.4% and you’d never even know it!

QOTD: Thanksgiving at home. White Burgandy probably. Very diverse palates amongst us. I’m gong to try to not make it too much of a carb fest. With leftovers we’ll have pinot noir. Maybe the Rex Hill.

Hi Gary

Is the aroma of struck match significant of the fact that there was too much sulphur used in the wine making process and the farmyard smell comes from poor wine making hygeine? I always thought that was the case.

I live in England so we dont have thanks giving, however were I going to thanksgiving dinner I would take Champange as it’s a bit of a customary thing in England for parties as I’m sure it is with you. I’d like to take something like Pol Roger 96, Billecart Salmon Rose or Ruinart Blanc de Blanc.

“I ate the purple berries”,” hey ralph, how did they taste”, “They taste, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurning” Hahahaha great simpsons plug Gary, It definitely made me LOL.

Well, being in Canada, I already had thanksgiving. I did contribute to the wine conversation, I bought home some amazing pumpkin beer from the St. Ambroise brewery here in Montreal, I paired that with pumpkin pie, it was absolutely delicious. I also served up a Malivoire Chardonnay, we definitely did more of a Ukrainian influenced thanksgiving, we had tonnes of perogies, we did have the big Bird, cranberry sauce, beautiful stuffing. Wow, I am salivating trying to remember that thanksgiving dinner. Now I also like to celebrate American thanks giving too, why the hell not right, a good excuse to eat some GREAT food. I think I am going to find some Pinot Bianco and maybe see if I can get my hands on a different kind of bird, maybe a partridge. Wouldn’t that be fun, I wish I could afford a partridge on a student budget. Maybe If I get enough people into it we could pool some cash and do a communal cooking session.
Fun stuff in my graduate studies life!

Here at home for T’kgiving this year. Hosting the in-laws, roasting a free-range bird from a local farm. Thinking of bringing out a white Rhone like a CdP blanc or a white Rhone blend from Australia and a Pinot, though maybe this might be a Zin year, indeed.

QOTD- well, I am the sole wine provider for a gathering of 15 with 8-10 wine drinkers, and I have traditionally brought Seghesio Zin (how ’bout that) usually Old Vine or Cortina, but I am leaning toward Turley this year, probably ’05, but might do one ’02 for kicks, and ’06 Old Vines which is still tight but perfect, IMHO, with the dinner. Cheers!

mm, zin! We love Dry Creek Valley zins…and we’re headed to Healdsburg on Sunday. Our faves include Talty, Quivira, Camellia for value, Papapietro Perry when we can splurge, Forchini, Stryker (ok that’s Alexander Valley but close enough). Anything Rockpile is bound to be tasty.

QOTD: The hubby and I are heading to Kauai for Thanksgiving and bringing along a box (!) of Wurtz Riesling and some bottles of whatever we pick up this weekend.
