After i paid $95 for a Latour1990 in1993 i prmised myself I’d never pay ove $100. for a bottle of wine. I never promised that my wife wouldn’t for gifts for me.

QOTD#1.. Mustard and saurkraut or onions. Ketchup is for wimps.
QOTD#2.. Although I didn’t pay $100..it’s over $100 now. 1991 Dominus an incredible wine with a finish that i think i’m still tasting 10 years after.

Great way to start the week! Awesome show, awesome wines. (I think it’s odd you talked about hot dogs- my mouth was watering for a steak or gourmet pasta after listening to your commentary on the wines.) I’ve always had to have mustard on my hot dogs and I love sauerkraut with them, too.

A guy I used to date a long time ago treated me to expensive wines, but I was too young and naive to appreciate them. But thanks to him, I love wine! We may have to go out and try one of these you sampled today. Thanks for a delightful show.

QOTD I: Mustard, and most of the time it’s just simple yellow.
QOTD II: Haven’t had one yet. They’re still in the cellar. $100.00 bottles are a rare expenditure for me but I’m certainly open to accepting gifts 😉 Seriously, I think part of the allure of studying and buying wine is to see how many wines that you bought for waaay less are $100.00 wines by the time you drink them.

You are so funny!! I think it was a Dom Pérignon, long time ago, not a big champagne fan, enjoyed it but would not $pend my money on it. Oeps, I forgot, we had one at Aureole in Las Vegas, but the snotty service influenced a proper review. I only remember the bill, which was not in balance with the service, food, or wine. I did however recently, deeply enjoyed some local wines from my “hood” here in Fauquier county: the 2009 Merlot (young but velvety) and the Petit Manseng (incredible) by Pearmund Cellars and the mature, dry, and complex Sumerduck Rose by Roger Ford. Your book rocks by the way!

QOTD — ketchup; but sometimes with ‘kraut.
QOTD — Its actually been a while, I need to drink some of those up instead of looking to the deep past!

Forgot! No hot dog thanks, rather a good bradwurst with sauerkraut and onions, and Euro mustard. Pair it with a trocken German Riesling? Guess I do have to switch to that fruit phone…lol…http://www.pairitapp.com/index.htm

Mustard, chile, and onions on my dog
Best $100 wine. Depends on where the $100 went. To a restaurant, not too many as this is a price category that is often populated by middle range wines with inflated prices so the $45 bottle is suddenly $100 and that was a 2001 Vayqueras at Ristra in Santa Fe in 2009. $100 at the store, that was a 1989 Leoville Las Cases that was bought in 1995 for $105 and consumed this year at New Years in a vertical tasting of Leoville Las Cases at a friends house in Tulsa that included 10 bottles from 1961-1995.
Good to see GV back to real wines. Talk about from the ridiculous to the sublime. The lineup for this episode was probably more expensive than the whole lineup from last week.

Yo NY Pete, Time to Suit-Up, The Jets might be lookin’ for Cornerback Help……
;o)

Geez, it’s actually scary knowing the little things you like in life are my favs. Yes, sauerkraut and mustard are my go-to condiments on dogs. I may even add some onions.

I must say I enjoyed last week’s “grocery store” episodes (hardly “lame”) though it is nice to know how good a $100 wine can be but still venture a guess if I would still buy one without any prior tasting etc? That being said, I may spring for the last one based on your excitement for the Hermitage.

QOTD #1: Please, do you have to ask. “Yes” I have that wristband. It’s wrapped around my stickshift in my car.

QOTD #2: ’97 Dominus and the ’90 DP

Cheers!

P.S. Revis smeevis, who cares, it won’t matter vs the likes of Buffalo but I must say, I needed to run to the shower when you mentioned Cindy Crawford in those cut-off jeans in the Pepsi commercial. Yikes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6OG3F4DH-E&feat…

damn, i wish i was there to finish off those bottles!

qotd: ive never had a $100 bottle of wine 🙁 the most ive spent is $35. maybe someday though..

good hot dogs….either straight or with sriracha

QOTD1: sauerkraut
QOTD2: the @troutmonster dropped a serious bottle of Hermitage a couple of months ago while a few of us were watching the basketball playoffs a little while ago. I somehow don’t remember the name, though it was 95pts Parker.

Loved the energy to start the week! Also loved that Mott gets your sign language- how he got botox out of pointing fingers is beyond me! 😉
sideQOTD: mustard and cheese
realQOTD: 1986 Chateau Lafite Rothschild bordeaux (well, it was $100 at some point in its’ trajectory)

Grenache always shows better early than Cab and Syrah.. cumon folks.. the Cab is in the dumb period after showing well in its first 2 years.. it will shut down till 9 -10 years old..

Hey Jim: I certainly wouldn’t deign to speak for Grand Master G, but I think he was talking about the hint of actual flavor in this wine vs the cotton candy sweetness that often indicates fakety fake. It is that sticky sweetness that he refers to in the earlier references you mention, IMHO.

Chicago Style Hot Dog only – Never ketchup only mustard, green relish, celery salt, hot peppers, tomato wedges and onions!!

QOTD: I had the please of sharing a bottle of 1998 La Grande Dame to celebrate my girlfriends wedding!! Although it was over $100 – It was worth every penny!!

SQOTD: Hot dogs I normally have with ketchup and mustard. Put some kielbasa sausage or corned beef in sauerkraut and wow ausgezeichnet!

QOTD: I literally just answered this for 506, so please reference that ep 🙂

Oww, That was rough.
what did you do with the rest of the wine?

Crazy 94 Pts show, with rough wines.

QOTD 1: Ketchup, lots of pepper, real tomato sauce and a Brazilian type of fries.

QOTD 2 : Never had one, a wine that costs 100 Dollars in the US in Brazil costs something like 300 Dollars or more. Like an Almaviva from Chile in the US is 80 Dollars in Brazil its 260-270 Dollars ( and yes, Chile is almost our neighbor) .

My QOTD : gary why Wine Library don´t ship wine to Brazil ?

Keep rocking dude.

i forgot , No wristband. 🙁

Y on the wristband thanks to your gift last week!

Hi Gary,
My name is Kerry Arrowood and I would love for you and my father to have an opportunity to meet. He has started a new winery called ” Amapola Creek”. I just know if you got your hands on some of these Monte Rosso Zinfandels from my father’s estate you would be blown away!! I am hoping to get you to come out and check out our family winery. I would love to meet you as well….hopefully you get this!! I KNOW YOU WILL 🙂

Cheers!
