qotd: Chateau Grapey.

Saw you didn’t like your pinot blanc on this one, but did like the Albert Mann gewurtz. Albert Mann’s pinot blanc that’s out right now is great.
Great epsidoe Gary, ever gonna do one on vin jaune’s, don’t think you’ve done one of those yet. A tasting of charbono’s would be cool too.

I was hoping somewhere in the Video Library archives would be a tasting of anything made by Domaine Zind-Humbrecht. I would say Gary’s overall assessment of this producer’s quality is absolutely correct. I have not had one bad bottle from this Domaine and several that have been of exceptionally high quality. In my view Z-H is one of the few bargains out there in the elite category.

I also hope to find some video of Domaine Weinbach, which is very reliable as well…even their allegedly humble Sylvaner, one of my favourite guilt-free “basic” wines. Great episode.

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.
