3/8/23, 11:37 AM - You would think they would do smoke testing far beyond what a human nose could pick up??
2/25/23, 2:20 PM - Like a Bobby Boudreaux blend…..kinda Cajun like?
2/13/23, 12:27 PM - “Rough alcoholic ride”…….Sounds like me weekend 😀
1/27/23, 7:57 PM - Agreed… 93 probably initial impression but the extractedness lowers it a pt or 2 after deeper contemplation
1/20/23, 4:35 PM - 100% the pyrazine green pepper weirdness….

12/1/22, 1:47 PM - You switched from needs significant cellar time to may benefit from cellaring… any reason in particular for the switch?…..
12/1/22, 5:45 AM - I haven’t tried those but I need to seek them out… definitely prefer the Burgundian style that’s not as extracted and carry’s some earthy terroir and spice notes….leaning towards the French but it’s often hit or miss on the QPR front…thanks for the list of wineries to try!
11/25/22, 10:12 AM - I uncovered 4 hidden in my cellar…You said HOLD on your last review but your previous ones didn’t mention that….you think it’s in a shut down phase?
10/17/22, 5:05 AM - Can you tell me where the button is to unfriend you?
10/16/22, 6:10 AM - Wipe that sarcasm of your face …
9/5/22, 5:31 AM - While I enjoy reading your verbose self-indulgent prose that emanates from your solipsistic character, I must take umbrage with your 92 point score for she’s electric…..maybe it was misnamed and should have been “she’s eclectic”…. Your swinish wine guzzling tongue is surely too fond of this wine as I can’t get higher than a 90….. it’s got some funk that downgrades the fruit experience leading one to question if something wasn’t just a bit off in the winemaking department that year… I can only imagine how bad the 2020 version was you reviewed… however since I hold you in high regard,I am going to purchase another bottle and give it a go again…I double Venturi’d it and gave it an hour so it had plenty of air time..Hope all is well down under!!
7/30/22, 6:32 AM - We are on the same tasting page with regards to this gigondas….Great QPR…QUESTION, in trying to calibrate your tasting notes for QPR in Bordeaux..I think Ch Sansonnet in 2018/19 is excellent… does that square with your taste profile? I know you feel Laroque, les Carmel’s HB, are good values
8/3/22, 4:38 PM - Yes what do you know or find out about his Clovis saurel??
7/25/22, 9:36 AM - Loved your review of this…1)what are some of your totem wines?2)what are some other wines you think deliver high QPR ??Thanks in advance !!
7/28/22, 4:44 AM - Thiboud Boudignon for a chenin blanc…his clos de la hutte is phenomenal..It brings a whole new world to white wine experience…Shafer Relentless for a new world syrah is fabulous.2018/19 Ch Sansonnet…..what a QPR Bordeaux Any thing by Isabel Ferrando for a high quality CDP… Colombis or the soon to be dropped St Prefert label..A Morgon by Daniel Bouland, Lapierre, or Foillard…….what a great red for the money…Domaine Gourt de Mautens….a vaucluse redthat never fails to impressRealm……expensive but gets rave reviews…..Thanks for your thoughts on what you posted!
7/28/22, 4:46 AM - I forgot to mention Donnhoff GG for a Riesling is phenomenal
5/31/22, 5:12 PM - Hope your bad news wasn’t too bad…..Life needs all our uplifts…like good wine!!Hoping things ok with you
5/24/22, 5:17 PM - I couldn’t agree more…..however I think it’s a great once in a while white wine that broadens your view of the wine world experience….Really good and appropriate in the right setting and context….Your Chardonnay snobs would pan this but maybe their world is too narrow..
5/9/22, 5:18 PM - Seems you are an outlier..You sure on this?
4/25/22, 2:27 PM - I did….. Venturi then recorked for 1.5 days
2/28/22, 5:03 PM - What is RS?
2/5/22, 4:32 PM - Bought 4 bottles after reading your review….hope your taste and mine aligns!!
1/28/22, 4:37 PM - I have 6 of these… Please explain your “bigot” reference as I totally don’t understand what you are referring to…
1/29/22, 3:10 AM - Do you recommend a spigot for the bigot?
