    Gary, I thought the Schoffit Reisling was great also, it seems more serious than the Germans in this price range(drier with more viscosity). I wish we could have come up to meet you in S.F. but that is my busiest time of the year on the farm,next time for sure. QOTD answer is enjoy raising my two kids, grow better grapes than my neighbors,stay married and keep on rockin, how’s that for a cliche.

  • Thanks for the episode. As far as white wines go, my wife and I love the Reislings. We had a nice 2005 Gunderloch â??Jean Baptisteâ? Reisling on our anniversary in Hawaii a couple weeks ago.

    QOTD: To do work I love so that I can spend time doing the things I love with the woman I love for as long as I can. Sappy. I know.

    love Love LOVE riesling – glad to see this episode. Actually, Riesling and Sauterne were the two bottlings that really got me geeked on wine. I have found that spending a little more ($20-40 range) provides some AMAZING German riesling experiences.

    Hi Gary,
    I am a big Riesling fan and I appreciate this Riesling special!
    It is not correct to say that the Kabinett from Bühl is sweeter than a Kabinett normally is. There are a lot of German Kabinetts that are off dry to med sweet especially with an alcohol content that low.
    Keep going on as I keep on making my way through the entire achieve, Konst

    Love the rieslings, been a big fan of German rieslings (specifically Mosells) for a little while now

    The plan would be to design a wine to go with every food dish known to man, that would be quite a plan

    Ah, a great episode to sink my teeth into! I enjoy reislings and plundered two 2005 JJ Prum Whenluer Sommenler Spatlese’s from a Fred Meyer before someone else grabbed them. Looking forward to popping those in about two years. Although I enjoyed the episode, I found myself transfixed on your right sleeve all out of whack. Damn you! Also, kudos on the Piper figure. Best 80s WWF wrestler period. Much better in the ring and interviews than Hogan. Plus, his sense of humor was (is) great. QOTD: To keep collecting and hording wines and to find myself a lovely woman to share them with. 43 bottles and counting…..

    Sorry not a big Riesling fan.. http://www.winelx.com

  • Haha “The Oak Monster completely kicked me in the nuts.”

    The plan is to get 100% of the population creating their own shit and broadcasting it all over the internet.

  • A dumb Rhein king

    See that's what happens when you run naked through tropical forests? The lurking oak monsters come out and kick you in the nuts!

    QOTD: The plan is divided into equal parts. The first one is Part-A … hehe sorry.
