GV - ya gotta do some more Niagara region wines! I’ll send you the wine! I’ve even got the title - “Canada does Bordeaux”, I’ll send you half a dozen bordeaux type meritages. We’re like no. 32 on the list in the world in terms of wine production, but we’ve got some stupidly high quality wines coming out of Niagara. If nothing else c’mon up and see us sometime - do the Tdot tourist thang and a couple o days in Niagara.

CKC, and LOVING Gewurtz.

QOTD: I know this is old, but I am sure you have plenty of fans here in Atlanta. The city has a very “changing the wine world” attitude, but can always use a push.

QOTD: Burgundy? enough said….(I think this is a little late but that is just me)

Have you ever tried Claiborne & Churchill’s Gewurtz. They produce purely alsation wines from the edna valley region of Cali, and do a pretty good job if you ask me.

Gary,
Come to Hamilton Ontario Canada! We will take you to our favourite wineries in the Niagara Region. Malivoire is on our list of wineries. There is also the Hamilton Tiger Cats football team which plays in the Canadian Football league. Your two favourite passions, football and wine!

I’m just finishing the first bottle of Gewurztraminer I’ve ever had, so I remembered this episode. It’s a Bestheim 2004 from Alsace and it just reminded me of the lychee martinis I make with shaken Smirnoff triple distilled and lychee syrup… gorgeous!!

By the way, I would probably never have had this wine if not for GV, so thanks man!

I love Gewurztraminer. i have a wine crush on Taber Hill’s Gewurztraminer when i lived in ann arbor they had a tasting room i would stop in a lot to pick up a bottle, but alas the rent was WAAAAYYYYYY to much and they had to shutdown and there is not a close place to pick it up. Taber Hill is one of the best winerys in michigan.

Atlanta is nice in the fall. Enjoy Navarro Gewurtz from Anderson Valley. Anything from Alsace is good. And it is a nice place to visit. Thanks for exposing us to new things.

QOTD: Well, as a RI native, I’d like to tell you to go to South Eastern New England and visit wineries such as Sakonnett Vineyards, Westport Winery, Glendale, etc. because (and this is MY fututre prediction) S.E. New England will be an extremely valued wine region within the next 10 years because of its representation of the Loir, Alsace, and Mosel wines and varietals with similar climate. The wines from these vineyards and this area show fantastic representation of the “terroir” with zippy acidity and reserved, complex flavors. I know you hate our Pats, and foorball season will be under way by the fall, but you have to adit that this area has potential, and if people start realizing the quality potential here then these value wines will reach “cult” status soon…

GEWURTZTRAMINER!!! One of my favorites! I am glad to see you with these, Gary. Love the color of these wines, almost like they could glow in the dark, you know what I mean?

QOTD: I think it would be great for you to go to a place that is centrally located, such as St. Louis, or something. I am biased toward St. Louis because it is only 5 hrs. from me (Memphis). What do you think?

Dude - gotta come to BOS-TON. This will take you into the heart of Patriots territory, where you can use your influence in the wine world to undermine Pats fans. We also invented the blue laws (you know, no buying alcohol on Sundays, that sorta thing?) - it’s time for the RED laws (I have no idea what this means). And furthermore, we have a 2-story Wine Tower at the Excelsior here - who can pass that up?

We love Geverz and Riesling. Come to San Diego. Not as good a town (culturaly, food, art, architecture, etc.) as my former, beloved Chicago, but great for tourists. Or come in the winter to escape NJ.
