    I hear you guys and don’t blame you. I did mean it as a totally innocent question however. Kind of like a what do you think he’ll do next thing?

  • John__J

    Wow awesome reviews, I may steer away from the Lord Zinclair. Rose Zweigelt, cool I’ve never tried one of those.

  • soon to be deleted av the almighty Mott! A competetitor spamming, repercussions!!!!

  • Not my reviews just a quick google translations of two swedish wine critics testing rosé

  • It was memorable for sure. 🙂

  • http://www.brill.se/pdf/Yakut%202001.pdf was the bottle like this?

  • in the forum?

  • Where did my posts go? Mott, did you mistake me for a spammer?

  • John__J

    In response to your link on that Turkish wine AndersN, Yes it looked very similar to that label. However, underneath the Kavaklidere name on the label it reads “Okuzgozu d’Elazig” and “2010” below that.

  • John__J

    I read that whole review except I missed the 1st sentence where you said that1

  • Lisa S

    I love hearing about your holidays, food and festivities, Anders. So nice to get a view of life outside of the U.S once in a while.. I hope we can get at least a few of the TTF together during your San Francisco visit.. Sept? Maybe TP, myself, Randall?

  • Lisa S

    Excellent question! Well, I store my best bottles in a wine fridge (16 bottle capacity, less since some of my pinot noir bottles are fat). The rest (about 50 bottles) are in the coolest places in my apartment .. on the floor of a dark closet in the coolest part of the place.(per the advice of a couple of wine guys at my local wine shops). My wines hold up well, overall, but I don’t buy anything that I won’t drink within 2 yrs since I don’t have the proper storage situation and even in the best conditions it’s not quite as cool as a cellar. The wine fridge is not meant for aging wine either (no humidity control).
    Not sure what happened to the rose. I remember when I bought it last July, it was a very hot day and I carried it around in a backpack (this is all coming back to me as I write this).. while hiking and then shopping around town. 🙂

  • Anonymous

    I’ll set up some off the hook wine tastings in Napa if interested 😉

  • Lisa S

    The move at frames 1:32 – 1:36.. check it out. 😉

  • My and my sweetheart lands in SF 3rd of october and leaving on the12 th. In between that driving up the coast to my brother i Oregon City and then back so I’m game if there could, would be a chance.

  • sounds like a common stogare solution, and correct at that.
    I have wine fridge 110 bottles made for storage and both white and red temperature zone. But the problem is.. I have to many bottles! So the coolest place in the apt serves as extra storage for the surplus, oh and a wooden rack beside the fridge, 36 shelves, serves as the grab a bottle on the fly space, where all the cheap stuff lays for 1 day up to 3 months. I think I drink to little, why would there be so many bottles everywhere otherwise?

  • NY Pete

    hey guys … 1001 is up … it’s just on a different channel

    http://dailygrape.com/videos/68-behind-the-grape-with-dr-stephane-vidal-from-nomacorc

  • John__J

    I’m checking it out now

  • Exactly my thoughts.

    Thanks for linking it up over here. I was on my way over to do the same thing. 😉

  • It’s a good one. Vintage GV

  • John__J

    Yeah it really was.

    I won’t comment on it over there now that I’m over here but I also loved it when Gary was throwing out his descriptors about the body shop and the paint explosion and all that and Dr. Vidal just gave up and said “You tell it”. Cracked me up.
    You can definitely see Gary will kind of test his guests a bit or mildly kind of incite things if you know what I mean. I always enjoy that because for better or worse, I have a bit of that same streak in me.

  • Anonymous

    kinda like the old channel 😉 ……. love the retro energy 😉

  • 🙂

  • Lisa S

    I’m interested… Let’s see what we can schedule either before Anders drives off to Oregon or after he returns to SF.

    Hey, BTW, I replied to your post on Page 3 about Diamond Creek… where and when? I can’t remember? I think I had too much wine at that point. Thanks.

  • Lisa S

    Let us know if we should plan something before you drive off to Oregon or after you return to SF. At least dinner if nothing else. Have you driven to Oregon before? If yes, then you may have already stopped in Mendocino (my favorite Calif coastal spot after Carmel/Monterey) on the way there you’ll pass through Anderson Valley and several nice wineries. It’s a beautiful drive and I highly recommend it. Highway 101 north from SF to Hwy 128 to Pacific Coast Highway (PCH-1) I need to do this trip soon. I’ve not been up there in 10 yrs. It’s about a 4 hour drive from SF. There is a wonderful hotel just two miles south of Mendocino in Little River where the ’70s film “Same Time, Next Year” was filmed. A classic!!! Summer of ’42 (another favorite) was also filmed here in the early ’70s. Not sure if you’ve seen either film, but thought I’d throw it out there. 🙂 Mendocino is a beautiful coastal town not far from Oregon border.

  • Where’s Mott? ^^^ 🙂

    I guess we all loved the show yesterday. Gary and Stephane were terrific. Great conversation and info about corks and closures, too.

    The debate about corks reminded me of something.. About 2 yrs ago I took a wine terroir class at Stanford. It was an evening class and only about 5 sessions.. The main reason for taking the class was not the geeky info (and there was lots of it!) but for the last 90 min of each class. We were treated to a guest winemaker who brought several wines for us to taste. We had Paul Draper from Ridge. We had the winemaker from Opus One attend each class and speak about wine (no wine for us to drink though). We also had a group from Nickel & Nickel (lovely labels!) and they brought lots of wine. Anyway, the gal from Nickel & Nickel mentioned that each cork for their high-end cabs cost $5.00 each. I was so surprised by this. Of course their cabs are $70-125 a bottle. At that time, they were completely against using anything but traditional cork. I love their cabs. 🙂

  • even the industry of winemaking and storing must evovle, eco friendly I hope 🙂

  • yep, from the get go to the finish. Stephane was a good sport.

  • Have not driven to Oregon. Our intention was to take the 101 and PCH since my sister-in-law says its really woth it. Hope to hit som nice wine country. We are meeting my girlfreinds oldest son i Sf on the 3rd and the travel north, so I guess about that time would be the best. Have to spend some time with brother and probably rush back to SF for homeward bound.

  • John__J

    Sounds like a cool class. Very true with the cork prices. I’m sure that’s why New Zealand and Australia embraced the stelvins so much.
    When you have a flawed bottle (for any of the myriad of wine flaws, not just corked), you’re sending back to a distributor, or a distributor to a supplier, etc., it’s a lot cheaper (especially for a smaller grower producer, or modestly priced winery) in the long run if they aren’t spending money on a cork for a bottle they never made any money on.

  • One weekend wine done

    Deep red, but still almost see through. First wiff unaired for any kind of time Funky, wood, smokey herbs. Hmm let me breathe for 2 hours it tells me. So after a pause then. Still some subtle nuance of funk but much more fruit, plum, cranberry and even the sweet whiff of blackberry. An oak tone from the garrigue, Asian spices and dried flowers and for a Swede like me the scent of the tart lingonberry.

    Taste is spicy with red fruit flavors and firmed by fine-grained tannins. Not super rich and deep, but yet powerful, with notes of jammy raspberry, plum and cherry flavors. Mid palate is more dustier tannins , pepper and clove. Back end bring a little bit more of red fruit jam and lot of spice. A medium long, dry charcoal kind of finish. To me a 91-92 p wine that can last many more years. I guess if I let it breathe more it will be even tastier.

    What wine? Guigal Chateneuf du Pape 2005

  • Lisa S

    That’s my type of wine (love CdP). Nice review! Could probably go another 15 yrs.
    Will go to a tasting today; there is one CdP in the line up: Domaine Charvin ’08.

  • Lisa S

    Interesting info, John. Thx.

  • Lisa S

    Yes, it is worth it.. (101 and PCH). Of course you must see Sonoma and Napa as well. We’ll plan something around Oct 3rd before you head off to Oregon.. Save the date TP! Who knows.. maybe our East Coast friends will pop in as well? 🙂

  • Sounds very nice. If it comes together, good, if not, it’s not the end of the world.

  • I have been on a collecting spree. Have now 24 different winemakers CdP from 07 and still looking. Sorry to say not the most priced/praised ones but anyway 🙂 Will be just awesome to taste during the next 2-3 years.

  • Second weekend wine done

    A huge smell of blackcurrant ansd graphite followed by a slight hint of oak, wood, herbs, leahter. Strong smell in a strange sort of way, you can sense that the wine is very spicy but there are no hot spicy notes on the nose. Just strong. Oh, and there is dark fruit there, lots of it, cloaked.

    Mouthfeel, we are talking mouthfeel here. Thick lush silky smooth, first notion is sweet but that evapourates quickly for a dry, dark fruit taste with som nice ceder box, mid palate fine, fine sandy white pepper tone and then an explosion of hot spices, chili, blackpepper, and red fruit juice on the back end. Dry but stillt very thick and lush. I can se why Americans love their Napa cabs, this is one. Shafer 1.5 2005. 92 p in my book.

  • Lisa S

    I’m jealous. You have me beat! I loved the ’07s! I have a few but, like you say, not the most praised/pricey ones.. I do have a small bottle of ’07 Domaine Vieux Telegraphe Another good one is ’07 Mas Boislauzon.. not too pricey and very good. Once a year my local wine shop will do a CdP tasting (9 wines). It’s my favorite. The MOST interesting tastings ever. The Domaine du Pegau gets a lot of press, but not for moi.. (too many vegetables on the palate, tomato, bell pepper,etc).

  • John__J

    Wow, you got be beat too. That’s awesome

  • I missed the Pegau and Vieux Teleraph, 120 bottles to Sweden and they where gone before I had the chance to order och visit a store that carried them. Oops counted them and it seems there is 27 different wines:)

  • Lisa S

    Now you’ve done it, Anders. You’ve got me on the hunt for some ’07s.. 🙂 There is a shop nearby that has some ’07s a bit more expensive than my local shop.. but they have them:

    http://www.vinvinowine.com/2007_CdP_2011-03.pdf

  • Lisa S

    I’ll see if I can pick up a bottle of Vieux Telegraphe (the 375 ml) for you. I could give it to you when you come to SF. If you don’t want it.. I’ll happily drink it.

  • Lisa S

    First of all, I can’t believe you liked it and that you found it! Excellent!! Shafer produces great wines.

  • wow, some good stuff there. If I had the money I would buy 2 bottles of each 😀

  • That is not necessary.

  • It was not a total fruitbomb and the silky texture is very seductive, like an old Rhone syrah. I had the fortune to be in one of the bigger monopoly stores when they got a case and I grabbed two bottles now matter the cost, so I got one more in storage. One have to try everything at least once 🙂
