What cellar video. Dave, Link it up!

number one!

HI!

Never had one!!

agreed about the lack of Sasha…

old vine verdejo, gv it had tons of nz s blanc, is that typical, i havent had that in my verdejo. spit the truth broth, and fyi i just got back from anguilla in nov, beaches were great, im sure you stayed at cap jul. cuisinart or viceroy, give me your 2 cents

QOTD #1: I've had a couple but not psyched about any of them.

Good show. Too bad the wines didn't exactly shine.

QOTD #2: I had some great stuff this weekend. Pouring at the winery all weekend some took home some really good leftovers… 🙂 DeLille Cellars Chaluer Estate Red, Harrison Hill, and Doyenne Roussanne. Beyond that, a couple of champagnes that I was lucky enough to share with a super cool chick. Drappier (yellow label, can't remember the designation they have for that one) and the Billecart Salmon Brut Reserve. The Drappier KILLED me! The nose was unreal and now I'm hooked on the bubbles.

Something I have to think that you (GV) would appreciate is that we are having a VERY special guest for a private tasting tonight at the winery… the MLB staple for close to 20 years, Chile Davis. Pretty pumped to meet him and share the wines.

read them live!

lol. That reminded me of your last baseball card gum experience.

QOTD1: None. Not that I've ever avoided them though. There's just so much to taste and so little time.

QOTD2: I'd totally be down.

QOTD3: Nothing great. I had a Granche that was 5.50$. It had some pretty good tannins, but it was too fake fruit tasting and AC. It kind of reminded me of the Shiraz three buck chuck. I'd mark it paz even at that price point. If I had to score it from memory, I would say low to mid seventies.

Absolutely had Kosher wine. Used to live near Oxnard, CA – home of Herzog. They have a very nice restaurant there as well.
The best wine I had over the weekend was the Chard they were pouring at the booksigning at WL. Even at $40, I was very tempted.
I'd love to taste wines for you, maybe I could handle the New Jersey “beat”, I've been to about 30 NJ wineries since I got here 7 months ago.

Best wine this week. A 2001 Dievole Dieulele Chianti Reserve. Found it on the wine list at a little restaurant in Flagstaff AZ.

Kosher and no Sasha?
QOTD — a few, inc a kosher Merlot recently
QOTD2 — 2007 Weingut Johannishof Kabinett, a VERY nice wine indeed

QOTD #1: Have not to my knowledge tried a Kosher wine. I see is just as another selection of wine and don't see how it has to have a Jewish only play.

QOTD #2: 2006 Chateau Montviel Pomerol from the Christmas secret pack. That was an amazing wine that I can't wait to have again.

Finally getting back into the flow of keeping up with the shows.

I have had Kosher wines. I don't understand why people are so afraid of them. I had a nice Kosher Rioja last week, but I didn't catch the name.

I look forward to seeing more activity on the Cork'd site.

Read more comments. I guess when you're taping three episodes back to back it would lose it's freshness, but for the days when you tape a new show. I think it's fun.

Best wine I had recently. Mount Eden Pinot Noir

Meh. Meh. Meh. Fitting show for the weather today. QOTD1 – Hmm, don't think so… maybe… or not? QOTD2 – Kunde Estate Cab Sauv, Sonoma '03. Nothing fancy, just good honest un-oak-monstered Sonoma Cab. Drinking perfectly right now. If you pay really close attention, it has a tiny hint of accidental secondary fermentation CO2. Interesting and balanced.

Yes had a kosher wine –

just don't remember which one. do eat a bunch of both organic and kosher certified foods….

AND – would love to have some shows on Organic wines and/or wines that the grower says don't use pesticides (but not certified organic….I know that designation can be costly)

No wine this weekend. My wife 32 weeks pregnant – so I'm respectin'

And….King Kong Bundy – just felt like saying that (watched some old wrastlin')

Ooh, nice idea. All domestic sparkler show. Including some North Fork stuff, too! Lieb Cellars makes a killer vintage sparkling Pinot Blanc.

The second half of the wine is the part I love. Appreciatechya, GV. Welcome back.

Finally getting rid of my lurker status! I got into the show a couple of months ago and it's awesome, Gary; I love the show.

QOTD1: The only kosher wine I've had is Manischewitz at Seder and, of course, it tastes like grape juice.
QOTD2: This weekend I tried both the Les Cretes Coteau La Tour and the Altitude Malbec from the 3-pack. I really liked the La Tour, but wasn't impressed with the overwhelming sour cherry from the Altitude. Still very happy with the purchase.

GV! Love all the info! Great show. Never had a Kosher wine.

QOTD: Norton Bodega Malbec Reserva 2006 for 16 bucks (CKC here). I was not expecting it to be as good as it was!

QOTD: Not that I know of

I already do reviews on Cork'd 😉

QOTD2: Actually had a couple wines this weekend, best was probably the Rias Baixas Albarino.

My best wine this weekend was Asda's Cote du Rhone Village 2007. (Yes we're owned by walmart but we have a master of wine so i'd say that's even) Silly value for money, at under £5, that's about $8 or something. Rich, fruity and good structure, I'm pleased when this happens.

As non of you that I know of (regular commenters anyway) are English you can't get it so i'm not selling it.

– just read hypersomnia's comment, who doesn't love the Rhone!?

Just watched merlove as well, amazing and mondovino before that. It really expressed that rubbish about making 'the worlds best wine' why can't it just be good for itself, loved both those movies for that and hopefully more people will listen.

qotd: drank nothing but 2 buck chuck this weekend. trying to save some cash, but still need my vino. maybe cindy will come through strong tonight…

Nice to see you back! Glad to hear you had a good time.

No never had one, gotta try one though, I must be slipping.

Unfortunately, didn't have a good wine last week.

1. Hey Gary! I'm Jewish, but rarely drink kosher wines. I don't know if people think they are only for Jewish people, I think people are more likely to group them in with collage wines like Boon's Farm and Thunderbird.
2. I've been reviewing wines on Cork'd, but have not in a while. Maybe what I need is a homework assignment from Mr. Vaynerchuk to get me writing again. @JeffisRad
3. This weekend my uncle took my fiance and I to some wineries in Livermore, CA. The wines were hit-or-miss, but I was stoked to see how many their were. Napa Jr.? What do you think?
