    Gary,
    Fantastic episode. I tried the johann Haart reisling and really liked it a lot. I am going to taste these and see how they fare. I can really see how they would work with a light cheese dip appetizer and with fruit for dessert.

    I think you should take your vacation and take a break. I love WLTV, but it is ALWAYS good to take a break from work (even if you are so passionate about it, as you are) and recharge the batteries. I’ll miss you for a few days, but I believe you will come back even STRONGER!!!

    QOTD: I have always loved Corvina (Amarone) but am falling for Sangiovese; the recent brunellos that I have tried have been mind blowing.

    Have a great vacation!!!

    OK as long as you don’t tell me that I “must wait” to taste these Reislings…

    Great show. I’ll have to give them a try…

    Have a wonderful vacation and don’t worry about the VaynerNation. We’ll be fine.

    If you’re on vacation, keep it that way and don’t bother taping. We have 169 episodes to play with. Nobody wants a Vayner burn out.

    Ass kicking episode!!!! I’m heading out for a Spatlese.
    As for your vacation….I say take some time off and come back with the best episode yet. Maybe get Mondavi on, maybe Baroness Rothschild, Joeseph Phelps, Gaja, Engerer whatever but may it kick my ass!
    QOTD – I am loving Pinot these days….I tried some of the central Otogo’s you recommended and am really loving them. I’m also getting into Nebbiolo’s!

    Great show Gary! I love rieslings!!! Perhaps i don’t drink enough of them right now though… I’ll have to search some more out soon.

    In regards to your upcomming trip – have fun!!! If you are feeling a little burnt out, then just go and recharge your batteries (eventhough we all love WLTV and would miss it for a little while). How long will you be gone? If you are planning on an extended trip (2+ weeks) would you consider taping a show or two a week for us all?

    QOTD – I’m not sure if i have a single grape i am addicted to right now (past phases have been washington state merlot, california petite sirah, and new zealand sauvignon blancs). Right now i am more about trying to expand my horizons than being addicted to a single grape (italian and some french wines intimidate me a bit, i think just because i don’t fully understand the labels and the regions)

    Just don’t have Reislings with BBQ that would be boring right GV!

    Yes film away for while you are away- No question- Do one wine that you really like for each day that WL has in stock-

    Thanks for this, I don’t know how many times since I started drinking wine in (1985) that I have been ‘dissed by you name it for my love of Rieslings of Alsace, Pfalz, Nahe etc. As a child I ate German gummis from Haribo called Weinland that have german wine in it and the name of the wine prodcuing regions on it. The variations in Rieslings are vast, which makes them so interesting.
    Ok Gary practice with me = Schpaht-lay-zuh…Nice segment.

    I can now show this video to my fiancee as proof that reislings aren’t just viscous Hi-C
