Solid – I love the way that GV still laughs every time Mott focuses in on a brown paper bag

  • dohhhh!

  • wait to go charlzee

  • ALLAN

    top 5

  • QOTD: Italy. 🙂

  • Rex Ryan believes in biodynamic football farming

  • when you say Barolo I think in that elegance, those mountains and the sober castles! such a wonderful place

  • Another Brown Bag episode – two in a row!! YIPPEEE!!!! (now to watch it!)

  • I like Barolos. Good short episode.

    QOTD: Barolo=hilly countryside with goats, an olive field and a piglet roasting in a castle stone oven.

  • Oh my, I just read your comment and we sort of think alike I believe… Nice.

  • ALLAN

    Great show! Great entertainment!!

    Very quick tasting I must say, would have loved for this to go on another 10 min. more. But that’s how you roll.

    Qotd: Barolo = great people with great traditions for food and views on life in general. And also, I always think of one of the greats Bartolo Mascarello. Have had a few of his wines (1997) and they’re incredible, classic, structured wines of great balance and perfume, and they last…

    Cheers!

    Jeezez, I forgot the fog. Barolo = fog

    When you say Barolo I think $10 a glass so I’ll never be able to justify it. I just have a hard time with that price. If I could buy only a glass just to try it I would, but at a minimum of $50 a pop, I can’t afford Barolo.

  • Focused show (lacking personality). However it had some great wines and I am all about backing Italy.

    QOTD: Truffles!

    p.s. Go Ducks… tonight against Vancouver…. big win in the s/o last night!!!!

  • Interesting. What would you spring for (a wine that is more than $10/glass), if any?

  • Bolgheri

    first thing to come to mind today wrt “Barolo” was = Val d’Aosta, Italy … lovely memory.

    When you say Barolo, I think Brunello or Barbaresco? I just can’t get them straight. I need a trip to a big a$$ Castello in the old world.
    How about a live feed from Paris!

    I don’t know any wines as I’ve never tried any at that price. If I had to, based on Gary’s info, I think Barolo would be on the top of my list. A close 2nd might be a Chateauneuf du Pape.

    Did seem a rushed show but like the brown bag tastings all the same.
    I think BIG and EXPENSIVE as well as NEEDS TIME.
    With that in mind how about a Cindy Barolo sub $30? Possible?

  • QOTD: Barolo and Barbaresco are my absolute, super-secret, extra strength favorite wines of all time. Therefore, when I hear the word “Barolo,” I don’t really think at all. I begin to salivate.

    qotd=over priced

    Sorry G, I’ve had a number of $40 Barolos that couldn’t roll with $15 grocery store picks. Don’t get me wrong, I really do enjoy Barolo as a whole, but pretty much avoid it these days. The collectors can keep it locked in their cellars for all I care; to me it’s just another variety that got picked up on the fashion train. For $40 I can have 2 wonderful rhones tonight!

    You seemed pretty rushed today Gary but appreciate that you took the time to do Barolo…I loves me some Barolo and want to get to know it better.

    QOTD: I think “Italian Pinot Noir”

  • Give me a big ass dish of fresh pasta with shaved truffles!

  • QOTD:
    You say Barolo
    I say Ca-chng $$$

  • ALLAN

    And another thing…. you say Barolo, I say; some of my most memorable wine experiences ever.

  • QOTD: Nebiolo

  • Anonymous

    Barolo makes me think of pasta.

  • STOKED that you did a VIETTI wine!!! Luca Currado is the absolute man! Especially with his old world understanding of the vineyards he tends. According to him, he is but a “fart” in the lifespan of the vineyard…lol…Although I am a bigger fan of the Barbaresco produced by Vietti, for an entry level Barolo the Castiglioni is amazing.

    QOTD: How it isn’t as good as Barbaresco…or Taurasi…or Brunello…DO A SHOW ON TAURASI

  • just had my first barolo about a month ago and it was gorgeous.

    qotd: badass wine that i want to drink everyday but cant because im poor.

    I love Barolo and I love the brown bags. But I got to tell you Gary, I really miss it when you did the show in “real time”. I enjoyed hearing you talk about current events and I also enjoyed when you read comments from the prior day’s show. It’s just not the same anymore.

    QOTD: Big, bold, and pricey.

    Good thing you had this taped before the game happened.

    I miss having a majority of same-day shows, too. I do understand the time constraints in putting out a show like that, though, so better a taping than none at all…

    qotd: I say, “huh?” Sorry, GV, sadly, i’ve never had a barolo. A few years back i bought a halfy of a wine with montepulciano in the description but i dont recall at all what it was…

    QOTD — I tend to think of it in terms of other nebbiolo-based wines, so ‘big brother’

  • QOTD: I say a bit too sophisticated for my palate at the moment and a bit to far out of my price range too. I had a cheap barolo and it tasted cheap, I just can’t foot a high quality barolo wine price yet. I’m getting there, I hear ya. Christmas is coming soon and Barolo is on my mind.

    QOTD: When you say Barolo, I say KING! Barolo, King! Barolo, King!

  • Nice show though I knew you were away in gay Paree so hoping for an “on location” shoot and maybe ruffle some Frenchie feathers? 🙂

    Sorry to hear about the cancellation of your flight and hopefully they comp you to stay at one of their finest hotels.

    QOTD: You say “Barolo” I think “Marchesi” and “pricey that needs to age.”

    Have fun over there and try some frog legs with a nice Pouilly-Fuisse. Yummy

  • I tend to agree with this too.

  • Interesting, in Manhattan there is not a wine by the glass cheaper than 10 bones and few in my home town of DC. Ludicrous what restaurants charge by the glass. Now, Zaytinya in DC has a “daily special” $4 glass of Greek red wine that is the best value I have ever seen.

    Great show, like the speed of this tasting.

    I am a big fan of Barolo, love the nebbiolo grape (Barbaresco, Valtellina, Nebbiolo d’Alba, gattinara). It is really interesting to see the different wineyards and the different areas. Was sitting in on a tasting held by Ian D’Agata for the Decanter tasting. Brilliant, very nice to sit and test wines that are made in the same style and the only difference is the place it comes from. (he went through the Ratti classifications, down to single vineyards). Everyone should do this, and not only with Barolo!

    QOTD: Sitting on a hill looking down on the Barolo area and having the best lunch ever!

    QOTD: Barolo…..Piedmont
