QOTD: Right now the 2007 Mondavi Napa Valley is killer for me. Routinely at $19.99, I’ve got it (a few cases now) for $16.67. The Beringer 2007 is pretty good too at $14.99. Hands down, if you can still find the Mondavi at $16.67, it’s the buy of the vintage.

Damn…late again! Work always gets in the way only WLTV time!

Glad to see the LM Napa as I’ve picked it up twice and sat it right back down. I could do without the oakiness, but will grab after hearing how fruit driven it is. Fuse can stay on the shelf…lol.

QOTD: I’m going to have to go with Titus or Justin. Just solid efforts, with the Justin just falling off in 08. Only time will tell. 07 was most def a good year!

QOTD: I’m a little bit shokked that only 75% of the wine may be from the same grape and it’s tollerated as as a single grape wine. It’s a very long time ago that I’ll have a Napa Cab.
maybe overprised in Europe?

Nice format, G. To the point, and well done today! For my $$, try BV Napa Cab, a ridiculous bargain @ $15. These folks are doing it right! My Steelers laid an egg, let’s go get em next season.

Yeah….where in the world is our KMurph?

Its interesting that the Louis M is $19 in the states, that’s how much it is here as well (BC CA) and we usually pay about twice what you guys do…

QOTD: Mondavi Napa. Gotta go with the classic.
I enjoyed the ’06 Martini at a wedding also though, I have to say. Haven’t tried the ’07 yet.

Hey in Europe they often don’t tell you what grapes are in the wine at all! You have to go to the internet. : )

Too short for me to. He could use a high chair. ; )

Hess is very good. Ever try Neil Ellis?

Yeah where IS the oak monster.
Is now going to be Napa rocks the hizzy and look out for the poop monster and veggie bandit?

Chateau Ste Michelle is from Washington, but good none the less.

On the real, I can’t think of a Napa Cab under 30 that I’m a HUGE fan of. BV, I guess. I’ve been drinking a lot of the Washington value cabs lately.

That Louis Martini is reminding me of a young Rocky Maivia.

My precious.

And by the way. DO NOT like the 5 min. show. Give me more. I need my daily fix.

5-8min = no variety blaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! ! ! Walmart lucky duck wines, what do you think of those… R they too cheap to even consider?

Not many. Probably Barboursville (VA) cabs.

No wines you can mehntion?

*waits for the Tony Dinozzo slap up side the head

Is slightly amused that AndersN and Allan to become the Spinozas of this comment section.

QOTD – I would have to agree with some others that BV is a nice one. Another, that although in many years doesn’t get to the 75% Cab, is the Chappellet Mountain Cuvee, The 2007 was the best sub $30 napa red I have had in a while. Probably why I can’t find it anywhere…

I am glad you are doing good value wines. Most of us are not spending large amounts of money on wine each night and want to have good wines. QOTD – The local wine shop recommended one last weekend that I think was called CC: (The label was like a chalk board that said something like – I will not drink bad wine). It is supposed to be extra juice from a high end Napa cab vineyard. It was very nice.

Hi Romtina, I saw it at Whole Foods in the Fair Lakes area. Lots of Hendry varietals.

I agree. The offerings have been pretty mehdiocre

Mehbe we should try another wine site to find some formehdible wines…

Gary, do you have any guesses as what wine is under the Banshee label? I had the 2007… bought it from a state store in PA for 30 bones and it was awesome. Very fruit forward and with chocolate espresso flavors and a long, long, long finish. Delicious factor times 10 in my opinion. I read about it and it was supposed to be the exact same wine from an elite Napa producer that couldn’t sell all the wine and couldn’t lower their prices either b/c it would diminish their brand. It was bought by insiders and sold under a different label and name, Banshee. Any thoughts?
