lines of the day – ‘this really does smell like a sheep pooped in your nose’ and ‘I feel like “my tummy’s burning” like Ralph on the Simpsons’

Another winner, GV really on point during these back-to-back taped episodes. Mott looking for the correct response at the end and floundering as usual

    My wife’s grandmothers house for Thanksgiving. I had thought about the 07 Seghesio. Looking forward to another show with Zin. I also was thinking about Orengon’s Kings Estate Pinot Gris. How about you?

    As a big Pinot fan its sad to hear your tastes are moving back in the other direction.

    QOD: venturing up to boston to be with my girlfriend for thanksgiving. I have no idea on what wine to pair with my vegetarian thanksgiving dinner that I will be cooking. She has a wine store she likes to frequent so i guess ill make a trip over there to figure it out

    Thanks Gary for another solid episode even if you recorded it days ago

    Too bad about the oak on the RRV Zin.. because that bright RRV fruit is a better match for thanksgiv than something like richer Dry Creek or Alexander Zins.. I like the Dashe Enfante Terrible for a Bird day wine. and a nice Pinot Gris from Alsace or Oregon.

    Good show, Gary. Zin is one of those wines I have kinda been keeping low on the list in favor of more “interesting” or “off-beat” varieties; but i think around this time of year is a good time for Zin and I may have to taste some before the end of the year.
    QOTD: Spending Thxgiving with my best friend and his family where I spent my most formative years, in Pittsburgh, PA (GO STEELERS!) Thinking of bringing a Gruner Veltliner–what are your/the vaynernation’s thoughts of this variety w/thanksgiving food? Also maybe a Burgundian Pinot Noir with a little age on it for those nice earthy/mushroomy notes.

    QOTD: My wife, daughter and I will be heading north to Adrian, Mi to stay with my parents, and have Thanksgiving dinner with 12 other family members. And to cry over another Lions defeat.

    We’re bringing a couple Zins, Pinots, and a port or 2.

    More Zin shows please. Outside of a barolo or brunello they are my favorites.

  • Good show on the Zins… for turkey day I’ll be in MD with family, probably opening a bottle of Washington state Syrah, and some Lemberger if I can find some around the DC area
