Great episode, I’m really loving these blind head-to-head tastings. Also, I’m a newbie, and am trying not to be such a lurker 🙂
QOTD: I really want the Planet Earth series DVDs and some new books to read over my holiday break from college.

Good tasting. I have never had a Oregon pinot, because i am still trying to focus myself on old world regions and not yet have the money to spend on American wines.

SO I GUESS

QOTD: A good bottle of internationally recognized american wine.

Gee, blind tasting two Willamette pinots side by side. Way to go out on a limb guy and challenge yourself. Next we’ll be comparing two Lodi White Zinfandels.

I want a 61′ Latour. Was born in 61′ and will never taste a 61′ unless you give it to me.

Way to stomp on the Beaux Freres also. You’re paying $16-18 for the wine and $16-18 because Bob Parker’s name is associated with it. Glad the other wine was a more sincere effort.

I went through a number of ’07 Oregon Pinots (for a column I write in Oregon) and was ready to sum up the vintage as rather thin and only mildly interesting and then, at a tasting staged by a small distributor, I found Penner-Ash, Redmond (winemaker Michael Beckley) and Tony Soter wines, all 2007s. I think these Yamhill County grapes, coincidently close neighbors of Beaux Freres, had the luxury of hanging on the vine a little longer in pockets of warmer air and the results were excellent. Especially those of Lynn Penner-Ash

Wow, interesting show. Loving the blind head to heads, keep it up.
QOTD: Some opportunities to drink the “special occasion” wines I’ve been hording all year.

Great show today. For Chanuka I would love to get the opportunity to sit with fiends and drink some nice wine.

+1 for Marcia, below. Comparing different vintages seems like a flawed way to do this.

Fun show. Have been off the Pinot thing lately mostly b/c of cost. Trying to keep my “school-night” wines under $12 and that is very tough for pinot.

QOTD: Looking forward to sitting with my family and drinking some nice wine. Brought a few bottles up for Thanksgiving and my bro was really not feeling the Roussilion red that I was loving. Going to bring some new world love (more his style)- maybe an Argertina Malbec or something from Spain.
As for a material thing, a nice 2007 Cdp would be great, but the wife & I agreed to only get presents for the kids…

love the double blinds Gary, keep it up.

qotd well 1 thing that would be really nice is seeing you put a vin jaune on 1 of your episodes

Wow …… great ep G . Never would have guessed
QOTD … Hope I get a job for X-mas. Got my fingers crossed

Garry,

2007 vs. 2008…Pretty big newb move by your crew

a bit of a cheap shot. takes you down in my estimation. the great man would not have done it. and mott didn’t mix the bottles. you can’t tell me you did not know what you were having. shame on you. dwh

Gary, good episode, I definitely want to see if I can get my hands on some evening land. Great upset!

QOTD: I want a new pair of shoes, those reebok pumps, I’ve been oogling over them for a long long time. I just recently found myself in a new kind of freedom where I can actually do and wear things that I really want to do. I want those pumps and I’m gonna sport them proud.

QOTD: I want you to taste kosher wines in a double blind for a week straight. and get daniel rogov back on for one of them…or all of them.

QOTD: Your tasting notes from the Riojas event.
So, is it too late for the Jets to be looking so good?
