    This is one of the best episodes you’ve made. You say some hilarious things in this one.

    “I get a little oregano as well, and not the kind you smoke.”

    “Albert Mann, you da mon.”

    QOTD: My winery would be called La Grosse Dinde (which is french for the large turkey)

    Great episode, I’m heading to Alsace this weekend for the christmas markets and wanted to do a little research before to see if there are any must haves while I am there.

    I have started drinking wines from this region recently, although the last one was corked, more often than not they have been really good.

    QOTD: My winery would be Long Lake Point… Its a very special place for me, my father would understand, but really hard to put into words.

    QOTD - I would probably call my winery Veit’s Vineyard after a town in Austria that I lived in.

    Whats the deal with the different spit buckets? Can I buy advertising space on the front of them?
    Product placement is where it’s at baby!

    Thank you TimF for the information on the difference between soft drinks in U.S. versus elsewhere. Very interesting…

    Sorry guys…was gone for three days….Chalk Lines
    Old world baseball on the label. Think The Natural. Dusty old gloves, cheesy spikes. But no pictures, just an old base bath with an old style base at the end. I would wrap all the wine titles around the game. Pinch Hitter for your every day middle of the week wine. Bases Loaded or Reserve Pitcher for the good stuff….and on and on.

    Gary, Thanks for doing this episode on Alsace region, it’s one of my favorites. I’ve had the Domaine Barmes-Buecher Sylvaner and agree, I was underwhelmed. However I’ve had the Riesling Tradition, Cremant and a wonderful Sept Grains (a blend of Muscat, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Chasselas, Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner and Chardonnay, yum) from Domaine Barmes-Buecher and they were all of the finest quality. So I’ll need to find another Sylvaner to compare.
    p.s. I’m always watching your episodes on the weekend, it’s my favorite TV show, after Monk (produced by a couple of Jersey guys BTW ;-)

    Gary-
    Great Episode! I give it a 97!
    I do like Pat Benatar! I also like Lionel Richey.
    I ABOUT FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR!! I had no idea anyone knew that I suggested the TING!
    Thanks for trying the TING!
    I think it is IRONIC you are doing the Alsace Wines and the TING in the same episode.
    My relatives are Germans who fled to Alsace to get away from religious persecution and I am the one who used to live in Jamaica and suggested the TING. When you get a chance eat some Jamaican food also! I am glad you like the TING.
    My day started off bad but has just turned out to be FABULOUS!:)
    Keep up the good work Gary!!!

    Great episode. I would call my winery “Parnita Back At The Ranch” Let me know if you can figure that one out being from Russia. ;))))))))))))))))

    QOD: hmmm probably something irreverent like “Good plonk wines”, “Various varietals vinum” or “Back seat cellaring wine company”. Maybe even an obscure Jersey reference “Die, Die my darling wines”…
