Great episode on tasting value wines! Loved how different wines from around the world were explored.

It's nice to see quality doesn't always mean high price.

Do you have a favorite budget wine pick from this list?

  • QOTD – no to both

    Are Chinon’s normally drank at a younger age? I’m going to keep my eye out for that one.

    “Fish smells from the head…” Lol! That’s a new one on me! But yes, your energy is back up to the level of your mid-to-late 2007 episodes! Very impressive tasting video with James Suckling- sweet. He seems like such a nice guy.
    QOTD: iPhone, yes; iPad, waiting and watching

    Who doesn’t love value wines?

    I haven’t tasted more than a handful of S African wines–an inexpensive Gewurztraminer Late-Harvest, a few Pinotage, and a Cabernet. Interesting wines, but nothing too memorable. I’m willing to try more S African wines, but only if someone else is paying.

    Still haven’t bought a Chinon or other Loire red; did sample a few at the Boston Wine Expo. Good stuff. Too bad my store doesn’t carry any Chinon at the moment.

    Tannat? Tasted two–Pueblo Del Sol (or something similar) from Uruaguay at around $8.00 and a French blend, about 85% Tannat / 15%. Both very serviceable wines. Good enough I’d be willing to try more.

    My newest wine geek effort–Domaine du Pavillion Cote Roannaise. Didn’t recognize Cote Roannaise appellation on the label, so I did some basic research and discovered this obscure French AOC. I’m a sucker for good Beaujolais, so finding another region growing Gamay intrigued me. I plunked down my $12. Really, really enjoyed this wine.

    QOTD: My iPhone arrives tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to downloading some wine apps and, in particular, documenting my tasting experiences.

    Great episode, love the value wines and the knowledge to expand my palate.

    QOTD – I phone here

  • QOTD: Yes, as of today we are rocking the iPhone (verizon will bring it).

  • NJ Big Chris

    QOTD: NO, wifey has Ipad, I would like an Iphone, maybe.
    Ive had some decent South African Chennin Blanc and a sweet Shiraz I thought was OK. I need to try some damn Chinon.

    Have not posted in a long while. Curious about the Chinon with the Cab Franc being so light. I will need to give Chinon a serious look. Loved the outtakes. What happened to no editing?!

    QOTD: iphone – yes. Soon to probably have a new ATT 4G droid based phone though.

  • DaveAll

    a Crush Pad! yes!

  • David M Roberts

    GO PACK!! Glad Rodgers and company could kick a little Terrible Towel butt on behalf of all jilted Jets fans…

    Love the Suckling interview. Great synergy with you two, though hilarious his clip ends at your check-out line, being rung up for his tasting bottles! THAT’S how you make that bottom line, baby.

    QOTD: I have neither – I am lagging with the tech, but plan on an iPad sometime soon.

    QOTD: Yes, more of the tight shows. It even brought out this lurker.

    I don’t posses neither iphone nor ipad. I have a question for the forum, did anybody try this Uruguayan wine http://www.vino-uruguay.com/index.php?id=30&L=2, since we are talking about tannat wines from Uruguay and if you have I would like to know what you think.

    iPhone 4. Love it
    I’ve had some good Tannat at a good price point. Just can’t remember what it was.

    QOTD: Iphone.

    Value play Monday. I enjoyed the show. Pumped I bought that Chinon on my last visit to WL.
    Fantastic cameo from @troutmonster.
    BTW how deep does GV roll these days? Mott, Trouty, Phil….

  • No and/or No….although I would love an ipad. I want to try out the Xoom first.

  • QOTD: No and no.

    Have you given any shout-outs to your lady commenters, Gary? I know the comments aren’t a total sausage party, but I haven’t heard any of the women getting a nod in your ongoing shout-outs .

  • Been to Stellenbosch GV…you’d love it..I have video available!
    Also a Chinon fan.
    QOTD: No Apples here. Droid X.

    qotd. No.

    keep up the value wines

  • QOTD: Ipad here…let’s see the App Gary!

    Great show…loved the tips on picking out regions from the nose! Give us some more of this in future episodes for sure.

    Everyone is happy here in Packer land…not too many riots in La Crosse last night…but they did call in the state police!

    Oh..and recent graduate of the CKC. (Bittersweet)

    No i-anything in my home.

  • QOTD – Neither. I am not quite in Mott territory, as I DO have a cell phone, but neither of the apple devices are slated to be in my possession anytime soon. I’m not anti-technology though, but that’s the short answer here. Now on to the actual wine tasting potion of this episode!

    Yes I have a Iphone well actually the salesman told me it was just as good I think they call it a poor mans Iphone or a Garmin

  • QOTD: 1st gen iPad and a few different iPhone models (to test our mobile apps) – 😉

    Love the value reviews, Mr. Vah-ner-chuk – how about sneaking a value wine into every episode (would love to see wines under $10 upset some luxury brands).

    Loved the outtakes on today’s show. Absolutely no iPhone or iPad.

    QOTD No iPhone or iPad, but I do have an iTouch. Also, I just made the leap and bought a MacBook Pro on Friday. I’m slowly but surely making the transition.

    I have an iPhone. Great show Gary. CKC here at Northern Michigan University and a HUGE Packer fan, I grew up in Green Bay so thanks for the props to our team!

    Huge fan of South African Chenin Blanc, even the supermarket label, the one with the cheetah is pretty good for the money.

    I’m always in search of value daily drinkers, have been drinking a lot of moderately priced Garnacha and Tempranillo stuff from Spain lately.

    QOTD: Neither

  • QOTD: iPad yes

  • Anonymous

    Big fan of the value shows- even with the occasional miss.

    Yes to both- iPhones and iPads in our home. Is there a Wine Library app in our future?

  • Anonymous

    no iphone or pad, but the wife has a iphone

  • Hey Gary!
    I’ve been watching your show for about a year as a lurker and I thought today, when you mentioned the CKC, it was time for me to introduce myself. I’m coming to you from UC Santa Cruz. Go Slugs. Come visit…we have a bunch of wineries. Love the show. Thanks for keeping it real, Gary. For my value play I look to Cotes du Rhones and Bordeaux.

    Interesting show. Always good to be exposed to entry level wines.
    QOTD: I have an iphone and my wife has both an iphone and an ipad. I use her ipad on occasion.

    I feel like I’m on a hot streak. I’m from the Finger Lakes. I love to drink Sanjo. Your Dad is the Bomb. (when he’s on, it’s like a holiday in our house). And………..I have an i Phone. Gary, it’s OK to do the show for people other than me.

  • Both.
