QOTD:Yes, Yes

Pinotage often gets a bad rap, but I enjoyed many nice ones In South Africa when I was living in Zimbabwe.

My wife especially likes the sweeter German rieslings, so yes and yes, we have them often. I’m going back to the old German episode so I can learn about the “sweetness” ratings.

Yes & Yes. I love Rieslings, especially German and Michigan.

QOTD:
Yes. Got one for Christmas Eve to have with lobster raviolis

Nope haven’t tried any others than that one, but plan to now 🙂

YES YES!

Have not but will try at least one this coming new year.

QOTD: 3 years in Deutschland, 1 Deutsch frau, many. many Deutsch wines consumed…many gooood. Spicy food does great. Need to consider spicy Mexican food with Riesling…

QOTD: multiple rieslings yes, unfortunately many extra sugary and uncomplex because my wife family likes residual sugar. They are the yellow tail, beaujlais noveau, sweet riesling sort of wine drnikers

QOTD: Yes/Yes but I don’t love them like you do, GV. Once in a while, with the right food is plenty.

Yes/Yes I am a fan of German Riesling. Mulenhof (spelling) has been my favorite so far. I LOVE when you can find a spritzy spatlese. Great show Gary,

Happy New Year

P.S. I introduced you to an entire wine shop this week!

No/No, but we’ve got two aging in the cellar. Can’t wait!

QOTD: YES!!! I have had German Riesling, and it is one of my favorite varietals, in terms of being able to really show what terroir is all about. No other R in the world tastes like German R from the Mosel. Part 2, yes, I have had more than 2. I have probably tried more than 10 from Germany, just because my wife and I both love the Riesling. Probably our favorite white.

yes on both accounts. best when aged and love the versatility with food.

QOTD – yes I have had many German Rieslings and found you don’t need to spend much to get a great wine. I am mostly a red drinker, but find these to be a great wine to take a break from reds, and they also go well with food.

I had a dry Riesling that threw me for a loop because I did not pay much attention when I bought it, but once you realize what you’ve got, they are very good.

QOTD: Yes, Yes, but I’m not a big fan of Riesling’s that have residual sugar…just not my thing.

Yes / No

QOTD: Yes, at a tasting only, never a whole bottle; yes, probably tasted more than two.

Still fans of yours … AND turned my little sister on to you as well!

Great episode, I’m going to check out the German episode since I haven’t seen it yet.

QOTD: No, I have not yet tried any, I have a California Resling right now, but I’m going to look into the German one and give it a try.

I am a believer! Been on the Mosel, Can’t count the number, love the Riesling.
It is good also from Alsace, SE Aus., and Washington’s Columbia Valley and Oregon’s Willamette Valley are coming on too.
I want the Mott T!

QOTD – Yes, I have had several German Rieslings. It is one of my favorite while wines and pairs very well with food.

I do not think you have ever done a show on Finger Lakes, NY Rieslings. I think that this deserves a look. There are several very good ones. Dr. Frank Konstantin, Hermann Weimer, Standing Stone. Check them out!

QOTD: no, no.

Sorry for the late comment, but I just got home last night from the Holidays out of town and am just catching up on last weeks episodes.

QOTD: Yes, I have had many German Rieslings, as the German ones are my favorite, especially the MSR region. I have several JJ Prums in my cooler now along with several other producers from Germany.

I am a big Riesling fan. I have drank loads of them.
In my cellar I have Kabinett, Spaetlese (pronounced Shpetleeza), and Auslese.

One of my favorite Riesling experiences was at a Christmas party at my favorite wine restaurant in Winston-Salem – it was comment #?, Link it up Mott! – the chef brought out a 1976 Auslese that was a beautiful mix of fruit and nutty aspects and it aged beautifully.

QOTD: Of course I’ve had German Rieslings. Yes, I’ve had MORE THAN TWO. Now for the confession – in my ~1,000 bottles of wine in the cellar, I think I only have 4 German Rieslings – and only a couple of bottles of each.

QOTD: YES, YES
