The only thing I knew about Switzerland is that the are good bob sledders. Just watch the movie cool runnings. But I would love to try those wines.

I have to say, in 13+ years of haunting wine shops, I think I’ve seen one Swiss wine. A very interesting show

QOTD: Not much aside from the cheese. I might visit Switzerland if I suddenly won the lottery…but I wouldn’t go alone.

Interesting show about Swiss wines. Sophia was a great guest.

QOTD: My fiance is of Swiss ancestry so I would love to drink Swiss wines and visit Switzerland. She has never been there and I have only passed through the airport. Such an intriguing country.

Sophia is hot! Great guest GV!

What would make me want to go to Switzerland? Week long parties with great wine and wonderful people like her! =)

Why does Europe have to be so expensive? Would love to go someday when I’m rich.

QOTD: I actually know a fair bit about Switzerland, I lived in Geneva for 3 years when I was young (I know that Cafe de Paris in Geneva is the best steak in the world). But, since I was too young to drink I know very little about Swiss wines. It is probably not the wines that will get me back but my love of the country.

Gary,

These last two episodes were terrific. I began to realize that wine is just your medium to declare to the world – embrace life – celebrate the little things- love family – cherish friends – delight in others. Your skills with your guests are amazing – You brought the best out in Sophia as you did with your kid brother. The ability to extract the personality from your guests harkens back to the skills of Johny Carson.

WLTV is my 10 minute vacation in the afternoon of each day – thanks,

Tim

Nice show GV! Even with a bit of a language barrier you were able to communicate about the wines, and shed some brilliant light on the Swiss.

QOTD: I think that the scenery, banks, and watches are more of an attraction to Switzerland than anything else -rivaled in quality by few other places. However, to have some indigenous wine on top of all that, would be amazing…

Great show!

QOTD: My girlfriend’s pseudo-parents (nanny and her husband) live in Switzerland. We are going to try and get out there this year for a visit. Dont know much about Swiss wines, but that Pinot Gris looks intriguing!!

HI Sophia I have been to Switzerland and enjoyed it very much. I wasn’t a wine person then but my boys at the age of 12 and 14 just loved the beer garden. Their mother was a little shocked that they could drink at that age but it was a very good experience for them. I would love to try your wine now. I will be watching for it. Gary does the wine library have anything to offer?

QOTD: I think Alpenhorns are made in Switzerland… right? I think I could live in Switzerland, they love Hockey and soccer.

The Oeil de Perdrix looks like that old Scottish varietal, Irn Bru….

QOTD: I had a Swiss barber once, Andre, nice guy..

QOTD: I’d be happy to visit and see the Swiss Alps alone. Discovering great wine would make the trip even better! Haven’t tried a Swiss wine yet but have had many Alsatian rieslings and an Austrian wine…Schwarz Zweigelt.

Great ep!! Switzerland really is a special place for wine… I love the way they can blend syrah, gamay and pinot noir and make a gorgeous red… BTW, Chasselas is also grown by some folks in the Loire Valley, in Pouilly FumÃ©!

I’ll be visiting Geneva in the months to come, can’t wait to taste some Swiss wines!

PS: Perdrix is a partridge!

Best regards from Paris,

Gary, you’re on a roll this week. Two very enjoyable shows due to the guests, not necessarily the wines. The interaction with guests is a pleasant change.
QOTD: I would want to try the Swiss wines because they aren’t price too high and the Master liked them.
