forget the comment about Erich and Emrich. We are not talking about the same producer.

How can a Chardonnay be a Carmenere?

And: It´s Erich Schönleber, not Emrich

Gary, You Rock and Well done!

QOTD: When it is SCREAMING HOT like today (106 in So. Cal.)I like freezing a bottle of wine on a cooking sheet and make a slushy. (It has a funky name but i dont use it) Very refreshing. Its too hot got to jump in the pool. See Ya.

That was wonderful. I’ve never been so entertained by a marathon.
I’m trying new things…bought my first rose champagne today. The last pink beverage to touch my lips was probably over a decade ago, so this one is for you, GV.
Cheers!

It’s summer and the whites are taking over. Drinking lots of Sauvignon Blancs. Not a huge fan of the oak monster chardonnay’s - especially the California style - so sticking with the SB’s, Soave’s, Pinot Gris and other dry varieties.

That was a wild one G!
My heart went out for the La Mondotte sacrifice…I love St-emilion wines…How about an episode dedicated to more affordable st-emilions?
QOTD: I have to admit that Sauv Blancs from the Marlborough region of New Zealand have been my favorite whites becauseof their high QPR.

Great marathon…. I have the Villa Maria as a good little inexpensive drink quite a bit. Will be seeking out the Fort Ross!
Reislings are my fav summer time fling.

Gary, I think that you are right on with the “I love you’s” to those you care about. Listen, life is a funny thing - it’s far shorter than we think. Letting those you love know it is a wonderful wonderful thing.
Wine, family, friends, good food, great memories….. that’s what it is all about.

I really enjoyed the Kanu ‘06 Chenin Blanc that I picked up from Cost Plus. Really happy you tried a South African Chenin Blanc, it sounds like it is shaping up to be a varietal that does really well in that region.

On a side note, why didn’t you line them up best to worst like you used to do? On a marathon event like this, we need a little reminder at the end of how everything compared with one another.

Not too crazy for whites. Trying to get back into them but having a hard time.

Same as you(”Big Love” to the “Family”, baby!)Proud to be a family man!

REDS! REDS! REDS! REDS! Any kind; Summer and all!

cattails bro, they’re cattails. Here’s my smart-alec link:

Favorite summertime wine: bogus question for me! I like good wines year round, I don’t tend toward one varietal or another just because it’s hot outside. Screw that, turn on the air and pour me a peppery zin!

Love the outside marathon by the way. That’s a lot of work to drag your crap outside just to get shouted down by a large diesel! The extra effort keeps it interesting, thanks!

p.s. I think it’s about time Carolyn started typing some of these damn comments. I’m not a secretary! (signed AARON!)

Spectacular episode, Gary!
QOTD: I like to start with a nice chilled NZ Sauvignon Blanc, Argentinian Torrontes or Albarino. With the meal, bring the unpopular Chardonnay.

Gary - wow, am I behind episodes. Thanks again, and thanks for the good advice. I don’t tell my family I love them enough.

QOTD: I’m really getting into white wine from Spain. It’s been perfect considering the hot and dry weather we’ve had in Indiana so far this summer.
