Wow. See, this is why you can say w/ Lloyd Bentsen…
“I knew Chris Mott… and, Senator, you’re no Chris Mott!” (look it up, young’uns)

p.s. I almost did, but’s the site’s a wee bit too… hmm, how shall we say… Adult for me…

Hey dude, thanks! Lately I’ve been riffing on a lot of French wines, especially from the lesser known areas like Languedoc and Corbieres where you can get some awesome buys. I also just got back from Australia and while I am not a fan of the mass-market Aussie wines, I do like of lot of their other wines that are still reasonably priced. Try Hewitson’s “Miss Harry”, which is a nice red blend, d’Arenberg’s “The Stump Jump” red blend, and d’Arenberg’s “The Hermit Crab” white blend. I think all are excellent value plays. More expensive than Yellow Tail, to be sure, but much better QPR. Cheers!

Just curious, Dominus. What is your wine palette like? I’m an over the top fruit bomb kinda wine guy, like Wine Crazy. If there is one fruit I hate, it would be grapefruit. My guess is that you probably enjoy grapefruit, hearty Sancerres…?

please pass the 'all fruit' (Polaners, LOL)

QOTD: banana

Customers swarm the Yellowtail section of the store.

LOVE the Supermarket shows. It's a great chance of find cheap wines and compare palates. QOTD: Black Raspberries. Great to eat, and you can make fruit wine out of them!

Really like the show, you just 'bring it'!

Black cherries! They have been my favorite for as long as I can remember.

Good show – it's surprising it took so many episodes to a show like this one. Would love to have seen it done blind though.. especially against some more expensive Australian reds.

QOTD: Im easy… Apples or Bananas

Roger Sabon Lirac is great QPR! seek out…*

QOTD: Apples, hands down. Not only are there several hundred varieties, but they are good with desserts, savory dishes, appetizers, breakfasts – everything. Also, you can ferment them into cider or applewine, fortify the wine into pommeau, and distill them into brandy.

In fact, you ought to do a fermented apple show, Gary. If you can do a sake show, you can certainly do a show featuring cider, pommeau and/or calvados.

Grapefruit. Everyday. Serious love.

Great QOTD! I’m with Mott on the melon front; only “pipped” (excuse the pun) by raspberries, which, as we all know, are blatently – obnoxiously – unaquivelently, the greatest fruit in existance…

hahahahah…..anytime you make fun of FSU, I love it…..

Florida Gator Fan

Where is the comment box for the new episode?

Florida State has produced 3 Rhodes scholars in the last 5 years. It might not be Harvard, but it a lot less expensive. Great QPR!
You could have just dogged on the gators and not have to be embarrassed.
Go Noles!

I am super wrong about FSU.. I am a dumby 🙁

on my way over to NYC to smack the crap out of the elf … 🙂

QOTD: Wild raspberries. I used to have a job ditch digging/clearing and there were the most amazing raspberries that would hang out over into the water to catch some sun and nobody would get to them because it meant you had to be in the ditch so I’d cruise through on my route eating these things to offset the fact I was in the ditch…

I’ve gotten the cotton candy play on several domestic cabs, including some high-end stuff, and it’s at least a ten yard penalty repeat 2nd down.

Is it too early to wish for THHEEEEE COOOOOOOOOUUUUUCHHH!!!!!!!!! :0)

QotD: Cranberries, with apples being a close second…

Yellow Tail Shiraz, have only tried the Merlot, will give the Shiraz a shot next time I go cheapo…

If any of these wines were a ‘higher institution’, I’d think it would be ‘Hemingway’s’, in Key West. Or whatever dive Charles Bukowski drank in.

QotD – one fruit? God, I hate you. Blueberries. For 24/7 consumption,not too sweet (like fresh fig), not too tart( passion fruit – needs to be sweetened). Coconuts’ water would be good, essential nutrition, but Blues have tons of anthocyins, flavinoids, and antioxidant property, w/out too much sugar.

QOTD : Forelle Pears
Petite, freckled and red-cheeked, the bell-shaped Forelle pear, pronounced For-ELL, is a miniature variety and one of the smallest varieties of pears. Rather crisp-textured and fairly firm even when ripe, this is one of the very few pears that changes color as it ripens. When ready to eat, this pear’s greenish skin turns a brilliant yellow and is characteristically marked with contrasting reddish freckles called lenticels, its distinctive feature. When a sharp, strong pear flavor is desired, the Forelle is a perfect choice.

Blackberries grow all over H County homie

QOTD: Mango <- on an island, all day every day. Can't get enough of them

QOTD: Very difficult to pick an absolute favorite fruit. Like Mott, love melons – cantaloupe especially. I really love peaches and plums as well

Not gonna lie… I first started drinking Yellow Tail when I got into wine
