luca bercelli

90/100

lines of the day – ‘I’m being a jerk for no reason, I don’t know why…(the Jets lost 10-7)’ and ‘I feel like I’m going to break out in a bunch of zits’

Good show with a stonking anti-oak rant

    Great Show! Qotd: Love.
    Wow that was the best oak monster in a while, very funny. But not for your palate. I have liked mollydooker a couple of years back, but have gone away from that style of wine now. I like a little more balance. I must be getting old… merry christmas Gary V.

    Already got my gift… a few months off to spend with my family due to an accident at work… jumped down from a 10 ft fake boat to stop a shop lifter and broke my 2 heels. I believe I was working way too hard and needed some time off. Seems as though a higher authority made a decision for me 😉
    Great show today… will be looking for the 05 Altolandon Manchuela here in Canada.
    Ciao and Happy Holidays!!!

    Santa brought me the Secret Pack A from WLTV. I am going to enjoy a bottle on Christmas Eve! Not sure what we are eating yet so I haven’t picked which one. Sorry the Oak Monster got you today. I share in your hatred.

    Love the show. I hope that in 2010 you continue to do more educational pieces. I love when you have various winemakers, and experts in to discuss the true art of making wine. I am still very new to this amazing world of wine, and love learning with you as you talk about the history of wine, the amazing science behind growing grapes and creating wine, and the do’s and don’ts of drinking.

    One suggestion, I would love to hear about proper cellar techniques, the do/don’ts of collecting wine, and the advantages/disadvantages of buying “collectable’s.”

    Sorry about your Jets, I have no compassion for you as a Cubs/Bears fan.

    Nice show Gary

    QOTD: I don’t know, that’s why it’s exciting!!

    Gary, I was thinking about something. I know you don’t showcase wines you have a lot of, because you don’t want to appear to be just shilling your inventory, but we’ve been watching you for almost 800 shows now, we know where your heart is. Maybe once a week, or every two weeks, hit up either stuff you can sell us a bunch of cheap, or stuff that is located everywhere, up and comers, closeouts, deals baby deals. Last year sometime, you did a special ustream on a petit verdot/tempranillo I think…anyway, It was really effing awesome. More of that anyway. You guys rock!

  • I was in Australia in 07′ and was lucky enough to visit coonawara, barrosa, yara and a few other regions that are mainstream in America now. Being originally from Australia and working at a small production winery I am biased, but the smaller guys downunder really hit the nail on the head for me. Elligant, lots of eucalyptus, well rounded and hardly ever over oaked. Hopefully we will see a revival of the small producers once the Aussie dollar has leveled off and the smaller producers feel they can import more again.

    QOTD: A guitar, Im gonna lern my self some picken and singen! yeeeehawww!

    QOTD:
    I have no idea! I hope he brings some wine, because I don’t have much wine in the house at the moment. Something fun, maybe an Australian or New Zealand wine!
    Other than that, good health for my friends, family and all of you out there in the vaynernation!

    I find it tricky to buy wines from Australia. Sometimes the value is great and sometimes I get really disappointed. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel that Australian wines are more unstable than wines from other countries. I don’t know, probably just coincidence?
