   Had many very enjoyable Loire Valley Chenin ….all styles from dry to sweet to petillante. One I enjoy from California is the Pine Ridge Viognier / Chenin Blanc … Have had several vintages and this one I consider a real value choice .. very consistent… a crowd pleaser

   When I drink a nice bottle of wine … it makes me … think of some of the best times in my life!

   As a long time Fin fan, I can’t back the Jets but you’re ok anyway Gary. Not much of a white wine fan yet but your mention of sushi with Raats caught my attention. I may have to bypass the saki next time. And hey! My second post in a week! I’m on a roll (or maki).

   When I drink a nice bottle of wine it makes me feel… hmm. Well it makes me feel old school and closer to earth. That may sound strange I guess but it gives me more of a reaching back feeling. Can’t really explain it but a good bottle of wine makes me feel closer to understanding the grower and the soil. It’ a lot different than beers or spirits which can be made anywhere. So I feel more a part of a community.

   QOD: it makes me want to go out and get a few more bottles to see how the flavor changes and evolves over time.

   I loves me some Goddamn wine!

   good old ludwig van

   Gary, when you say the wine has been open X hours, do you just pop the cork and let them breathe in the bottle? Or, do you decant and then pour them back in the bottle before the show? I am always looking for breathing/decanting advice, so knowing this would help me.

   Also, even the champagne was open that long? You seemed surprised it didn’t have many bubbles, but I would have thought that would be expected if it had been open a couple hours.

   Maybe you could answer in a future episode for your buddy good old ludwig van. Thanks.

   Sorry, I forgot, got caught up in the QOTD.

   Gary, excellent show. I love it when you bring out a varietal that isn’t known as well as it should be by enough people.

   QOTD ………… smarter because every time I drink wine I learn something.
   OK, that was too geeky.

   QOTD ……….. smile. Oh, crap. Damn you, Hugh.

   QOTD ……… happy.

   KAHUNA – I’ve got some made in a very (VERY) sweet dessert style – vintage 1970. Who knows what’s in the bottle but whatever it is, it hasn’t turned funny colors!! May have to drink it one of these days.

    I’ve had the Bonny Doon before. I’m definitely looking forward to trying some of the others. Great episode. Fantastic cork toss, and SS Chris, your welcoming of Flavasauce has me cracking up over here. See you at Zupko’s tonight?

    QOTD: …makes me worry free. I can pretty much forget about everything else during those moments.

    How can it be?
    I’m not a sports nut – don’t know nothin’ ’bout football.
    I’m not an oenophile – don’t know nothin’ ’bout wine.
    And yet — and yet —
    I’m becoming a VAYNIAC!!
    ========================
    Good cork toss!
    When I drink a nice bottle of wine, it makes me: lovey-cuddly-kissypoo-sexy-goofy.
    Hell, one glass does the same thing! Can’t take me anywhere! Embarrassing — that’s why I hardly ever drink!
    ========================
    There. I’m no longer a lurker.
    Now will you answer the “Email Gary” message I sent yesterday?

    Great episode. The NY Times critic blogged about this grape just a little while back. Some of these wines were mentioned in the comments. The two blogs are great companions.

    Gary:

    I am a very very long time lurker. I have lurked when you didn’t have the TV show or a maybe even a website site. I used to go to the GREASE MONKEY and walk over to the old store buy and lurk. Its kinda funny but no matter how thing change ( your technology ), I’m still doing the same thing. I get a kick and sometimes a chuckle from your whacky descriptions of the nose and taste of the wines on WLTV.

    Agree with your call on South African Chenin Blanc — it’s definitely worth watching. You might add for anyone new to SA CBs that sometimes they are labeled “Steen,” the Afrikaans word for Chenin Blanc…..

    QOTD: Thirsty as hell.

    Calling me (lurker)out with the “wicked witch of the west” remark, very subtle…to think I was watching the Wizard of Oz just the other night on TBS.
    “When I drink a nice bottle of wine it makes me”…..ass melt into me Lazy-Boy.
