Wowzers! a twofer…. Right on GV… I told you to treat yourself after all that horrible wine you had to taste… Glad you did. However, I still havent tried Sauternes. Soon I hope.

WOAH! 2 episodes…this is a WLTV first. You are a madman! Great call on the Lafaurie Peyraguey.

i am not that experienced w/ sauternes (i have had maybe 4?), but i loved this wine.

Here was my note from xmas eve 2006: VERY syrupy. Packed in a ton of flavors of nutmeg, cinnamon, nuts, and pear. The acidity kept the wine from being cloying. With all these flavors, it is truly remarkable how refreshing the wine is.

How ageable is this wine in your opinion? I have a few more plus i ordered some from you seeing how good your price was.

QOTD2: brush my teeth.

QOTD:
When I do it 2 times a day, my hair sticks up just like Gary’s.
Guess he does it 2 times a day, too.
Reminds me of that fun flick – “There’s Something About Gary” – I mean Mary!

Gary- Alright Mr. Sweet tooth, I am actually ordering the sauterne. Never had any in my life, gotta try it. What are you gonna make me do next?

QOTD- Hug the kids.

PS- You’ve shipped the ‘61 Lafite to Chicago, right?

awesome 2nd episode on sauternes! i have 4 of these half bottles in my cellar just waiting to be consumed. i was gonna wait a few years but after your tasting, i don’t think i can resist much longer…

sorry you had to taste all that (up)chuck and please know that i would never even suggest doing an episode on it!

Epic day in Vaynernation! Was this doubleheader planned or did you know CHUCK would take a crap in your mouth?

Hey Gary – when are the Bordeaux episodes airing? I’m sitting here staring at a list of 2005 Futures, but want some advice from you on where to invest.

Thanks much! Long live WLTV! You rock, bro.

besides the obvious answer…I can definitely say that it is not reading two Supreme Court decisions, both 40+ pages, which happened to me today. I need to fix my brain, I bet the Sauternes would work on the brain as well as the palate.

2 episodes today? Nice…. This was totally weird that you did this today because my palate and I are not seeing eye to eye either and I didn’t even drink any 2 Buck Chuck! Maybe my palate got mad from witnessing your palate suffer so much. (Yes, I am a 2 Buck Chuck Hater…if you want to know why…see my post from episode #212)
QotD – I’m the average… I have 2 cups of coffee every morning…I eat 2 slices of sourdough toast…I brush my teeth twice a day…well I guess that’s about it!

QOTD- I played in two poker tournaments in AC today so I can say that is something I would do with my clothes on twice a day. This is a G rated site so we will leave it at that.

CRZYWinemaker
Gary, thx for the “Bonus” today, you and we deserved it.
You are right on, but I like to cleanse the palate w/ a little tawny port myself after a disasterous red tasting, a 20yr Porto Rocha does the trick.

Jack2112
Nice GV, nice. Thanks for the two. And after all the Chuck, I can understand. Still loving the action figure comment from earlier, loving it.

Two times a day…wow, I’d say these days it’s drinking coffee, then drinking wine. Thanks to my growing palate, my reading, my nights out in NYC and your website, the wine is becoming a must. And a GREAT must.

Thanks and rock it OUT.
April 11, 2007

carbon60
Well, if Gary’s going to do two episodes, I can at least leave one comment. It’s the first time– and a rare opportunity to do so on the same day the episode aired!

QOTD: I’m so pleased that so many people brush their teeth twice a day! Me too. Coffee twice a day is great, too, although it may be more like 4-6X for me.
April 11, 2007

Panoca
You the best, Gary!
2 episodes in one day?! Awesome!! “Fix the palate”??!! Anoher great Job…
Any episode of dessert wine is my favorite. Thanks for doing this one, i think i’m buying a case of the Peyraguey… Thanks gary for a Classic Tuesday Episode/s.
QOTD: you know…the classic…but if i’m a bit tired, maybe i’ll taste 2 wines…one red and one port.
April 11, 2007

QOTD – check up on the stock market. Got any good recommendations?

QOTD: Well, I’ve got two huge tests tomorrow…but I don’t really like that. Hmm…among the G-rated things I like to do twice in a single day is eating or drinking something delicious enough that it consumes every bit of my attention.

Double header laughter, along with a great wine. I won’t answer the QOTD

NUMERO DOS!!!

TOP 50!

QOTD: Well I know what I’d like to say, but the love life hasn’t been THAT exciting lately…so instead I’ll go with brushing the ol’ pearly whites…and having a fine glass of vino…and going for a run/walk (although I guess that’s just mandatory transportation to and from class or work).

Sauternes….Dumb question,,is that the same as “ICE WINE”???

QOTD: Design my basement with a “wine cellar”, more than two times!!!
April 11, 2007

cgf
JohnP,

Quick answer for you. Sauternes is a place in bordeaux, FR where the wine comes from. It is made out of the grapes semillon (mostly) and a little bit of sauvignon blanc. To make sauternes, producers leave the grapes hanging later into fall so that they become infected with botrytis. This is often called “noble rot”.

Ice wine on the other hand is usually made out of riesling in Germany, but you will also see vidal, chardonnay, and cab franc ice wines from other places like Canada or the Finger Lakes. Ice wine is picked when the grapes are frozen. Different places have different rules. The point of freezing the grapes is to get the most concentrated and therefore sweetest juice.

Google/wikipedia sauternes, or botrytis, or ice wine and you will get a much better explanation than i just gave.

TheDumbPhase
Caught me off guard with the double-shot. Just ordered 6 bottles of this. Love dessert wines in 375’s- perfect for a small glass for 4-6 friends after dinner.
QOTD- Besides the obvious, some things I like to do 2x a day: poop (I know I’m getting my fiber then!) & shower (hopefully in that order).
April 11, 2007

Douglas
Gary, did you plan the second episode all along or did you just decide after tasting six “Bronco Wines 200x blends from Trader Joes, 2, 3 or 4 dollars depending on your region, copyright 2007, all rights reserved, M-O-U-S-E, your mileage may vary” wines, that you needed to taste one more wine in one more bonus episode?

Just curious!

Dave-from-Katonah
Wow! 2 eps in 1 day!!! I missed this last night.
But c’mon…25 bones for a half bottle??? even if it is a 97 pt-er,
is that really “a steal”???? Maybe if just sufferred thru 7 bottles of 2buck-upchuck.
Still, one day I may have to spring…

QOTD – hug my kids, pet my dog, and kiss my wife!!
April 11, 2007

coffee, twice at least

Thanks! We all needed that after the 2-buck-Chuck (not Chuk.)

Well, while I love wine and, of course, a double header of WLTV — my 2x a day preference shades closer to Maria’s afore-mentioned ass!

wow – I can’t believe I missed this last night!

Wonderful!

QOTD: Keep my palate happy.

“Happy, lively and happy to be alive.” – nice Gary.

The Raging Platypus
This might have been mentioned before, but I could have sworn it was J-Lo that insured her tempestuous buttocks, not Maria.

Anyways, sad to say, despite the dozens of bottles of wine I’ve been drinking in the past few months, I have not yet once tried a Sauterne. I shall remedy that tonight, thanks Gary! =)

QOTD: Hahahah, man, I don’t know how you got this question off with a straight face – what a layup, indeed.
April 11, 2007

John Blue Label
GV,
You redeemed yourself after the last one. Tried one of the sauternes you recommended before and it was lush. Guess I’ll have to order this one too.
QOTD: Golf, and the other thing you can be lousy at and still have a good time.

hmmmm, twice a day. A couple of well covered unmentionables, and watch/listen to WLTV on my iPod while driving or working out.
April 11, 2007

Tony S.
Mmm…I love nothing more than a Sauterne. I think in the wine world we say “nummy for my tummy.”. Anyway, QOD: I love nothing more than knowing that I’m going to walk my dog at least twice every day. She’s a special girl to me and love taking her on walks, and I think she enjoys them as well.

Wow…short episode today. OK, see you later man.
GO BEARS!!

2 x a day I ride the Lovely NJTransit system! WOOOOO! Big up for NJ Transit. hahahaha

this was a nice lunch surprise to find a new ep. kind of makes eating in at my desk just a little bit sweeter. after the 47 sauterne at the S+W off line, i’m really thinking about purchasing some 05 futures. this ep just pushed me a little bit further towards pulling the trigger.. like i need the help.

free shipping with Sauternes would make up for disparaging LT!!!

G is pulling double shifts now!
Speaking of angry palates…this past weekend me and my beautiful wife stopped for some mexican for lunch…there was an item on the menu only available on Saturday & Sunday…Menudo…”a soup with pork & hominy”… SO I ask for a bowl w/2 spoons thinking we would share something new we hadn’t tried before. BIG MISTAKE! See the face G is making down below in episode #182, “How does weather affect wine”? kinda how my face was when they sat that bowl in front of us. If your nor familiar with Menudo…google it. Wish i’da googled it before ordering.

Sauternes rock! (Barsac, Sauternes, …). In me cellar, I have an ‘03 Riussec, some ‘03 Chat. Guiraud, an ‘02 Chat. Haut-Bergeron, and an ‘01 Chat. Suduiraut. Ports and other fortified desserts are nice, and so are liqueurs like Grand Marnier. But Sauternes botrytized juice is the king. I’ve still not yet tried a D’Yquem. Someday…

What do I do twice a day? Eat breakfast.
April 11, 2007

Lawrence Leichtman
Love Sauternes but the cost on them has risen so much like other Bordeaux wines that I had put off buying more. This price range is better. My palate was mad at me for a Charles Shaw tasting by a neigbor. 6 different bottles none good. Had I only known to clear it with a Sauterne.

Thanks Gary. I’m just learning more about Sauternes. Maybe I will pick up a bottle of Chateau Lafaurie Peyraguey on Saturday. I’m driving my son up from DC to attend the auto show.

2 shows? You NUT! 2x a day, hmm, walk the dog comes to mind, terriers need too much exercise. Oh, and I picked up a bottle of the Four Vines Dusi Ranch Zinfandel 2003 (not the ‘04 you did last week) for 26 bones last night, and WOW you weren’t kidding. This was a huge wine, we had some char grilled skirt steaks and a nice bitter greens salad and the wine stole the show for everyone. Good call on that one G, thanks for the tip.

Yay! Now how ’bout “How to Fix Your French Accent”?

QOTD: I like to ride the subway 2x a day. Apparently I am not alone. From this week’s New Yorker mag: “Commuter-wise, New York City is an anomaly. New Yorkers have the highest average journey-to-work times (thirty-nine minutes) of any city in the country, but are apparently much happier with their commutes than people are elsewhere. It could be that New Yorkers are better conditioned to megalopolitan hardships, or that public transportation ameliorates some of the psychic costs. Or maybe theyâ€™re better at lying to themselves.” Personally, I use the time to catch up on my reading.

I know what I do 2-1/2 times a day…God I’m regular. Note, the 1/2 is pre-breakfast coffee.

I probably say a little prayer twice a day thanking whoever will listen that I have a wonderful family and am so glad to be wise enough to enjoy what each day brings.
