Customer Reviews
Seriously good
I picked up the bottle of DoubleD. I knew the producer was from California, but the shape of the bottle suggested this vintage could only be Northern Rhone. The only thing I was fairly certain about was this was not an over-priced, under-whelming bottle from Temecula. I was intrigued, and eventually decided it worth the risk. I mean, I’m just tasting it, not marrying it, right? I poured a skoosh into a large-bowled glass. After a cursory swirl, sniff, and glance at the color (yeah, I was posing, whatever), I took a sip. It was…unusual. But I’m a wine novice, so what do I know? Maybe it would develop in the glass. I waited a while. The next sip was much better: interesting, complex, and nuanced, with just a hint of fruit. I waited again, and then drank again. It was excellent. There was no pretense, and it wasn’t stylized. Rather, the producers got out of the way, and let the fundamental character of ingredients specific to the region shine through. There was some decent age to it, and moderate alcohol content. I could drink this all day long. I suspected it would pair perfectly with the red meat I was grilling. The finish was long yet mellow, enjoyable yet not overpowering. I want more. Lots more.
Funny, Cheerful, Informative
It's like Car Talk for wine. Funny, approachable, cheerful--you'll learn a lot about wine from two great guys.
Keeps getting better
The podcast is great and getting better with each episode. I, like David, loves to to surf and enjoy wine. I appreciate your stand against the snobby and pretencious attitude asociated with the wine industry. You guys are keeping the show grounded, informative and enjoyable to someone like myself who likes wine and wants to learn more. Mahalo from San Diego
