Katie… It’s a whole brand of wines – and I think they have vodka now, too! So much fun for Halloween, before or after a Twilight movie, while watching True Blood, while watching the Vampire Diaries or anytime you happen to be hanging out with vampires. Check out all of their options. Here is their site: http://bit.ly/MwxYHy Enjoy!

She says: ooops! Saskia — I though I responded to you – but looks like maybe I didn’t. You should try it! But always have a similar back-up (or two) in case time has not been kind to the wine. Do try it and let me know how it goes!! Thanks for writing!

Comment on Wine Tasting on Television: “Vine Talk ” Talk Show by Barrysentials, The He Said She Said Wine blog

She says: Dear Joe, Thanks for writing! Glad to have a different perspective. I’m glad to hear that you like the show and I hope it comes back for you and your friends! What a great concept for being with friends and wine on a Thursday night. I wonder why I didn’t think of inviting people to watch with me!?! (Probably b/c traffic in LA makes everything so complicated)

Did you write down the wines in advance and then taste the same wines? An excellent good idea. I think I’ll give that a try with some online tasting videos. Thanks for the input! It will be a fun way to learn more.

Your analysis of the show, “Vine Talk” is both incorrect and annoying. After discovering this show completely by accident one night, my wife and I grew to really enjoy the format and laid back style of the show, as well as the cast. Over time, several of our friends would join us on Thursday nights to watch the show (while sampling various wines and cheeses). I truly hope they bring it back in the same format.

She says: Family in Buenos Aires and wine in Mendoza. A branch of the family, most of whom I had not met. Buenos Aires is indeed beautiful.

We went to Mendoza for the wine and to see the Andes up close, but also spent time in Buenos Aires. A very beautiful city with some great art museums and lots of great cafe con leche. And you? Just the wine?

How wonderful that you got to meet him! We agree on all points. Smaller ones are better. It was an exquisite experience and he is a charmer…he, he, he…
I would really love to return to Mendoza — but so MANY more places to visit. Did you go to Argentina just for the wine?

We were in the Mendoza area mid February 2012 and were thrilled to meet Carmello Patti, particularly after reading articles about his wine. We had toured larger facilities with mass produced wine and found that the boutique wineries such as Carmello Patti, la Azul, and Achaval Ferrer were more to our taste in the wine they make.

Mr. Patti is a charmer and his wine is more complex than most and obviously carefully crafted by an expert. We brought several bottles home and hope to locate more in California from a local distributor although it may never have the warm flavor it did when poured in a humble and charming tasting room in Lujan de Cuyo in the company of a lovely man, Carmello Patti.
