I will have to look for these wines. I have a lot of trouble finding chardonnay that I like at prices I’m willing to pay because I usually find them to be disgustingly over the top or too austere. These sound like a good middle ground.

Awesome episode, GV!

QOTD: I’ll look out for a St. Aubin for sure. I’m hoping they’re readily available at local stores.

hey gary -

good episode! I’ve never tried one of these, but will be seeking them out in the near future. gotta save some bones to get that last bottle, but it sounded like it was well worth it.

QOTD: I will seek one out this summer…this month has been costly already……

What am I waiting for? I’m waiting decent white burgundy -or any other chardonnay for that matter- to cost less than $15! In other words, it’ll be a few years before I buy a bottle. Especially considering the other less-concocted whites that can be had from NZ and South America for ~$10

Great Show!!!

I have actually seen these in my local wine shop but never really mustered the courage to get one to try…mainly because the few that the shop has are in the $35-50 price point, which at the moment tends to be a bit high for a bottle of white wine now, especially when I still have 10 or 12 bottles left of random sauv blancs and pinot blancs I purchased at the end of last year.

QOTD: What am I waiting for? Once I finish off some of my hard exams coming up and have a weekend to actually relax, I will splurge a little and seek out a St. Aubin.

Never tried one, but it’s now on the short list. Just had my first white bordeaux a few weeks ago…

Gary,
Interesting episode…I don’t drink much white wines and when I do it’s usually in the summer. I’ve noticed you don’t mentioned if you can cellar the wine if you don’t get to it right away. In any case, I never had a St. Aubin but will try at some point…in the past, I never bought anything produced in France for personal reasons especially when you can get very good wines here…the prices on some of their wines put me off as well…QOTD..what’s holding me back….Lent, gave up drinking wine but will definitely try the last two wines from this episode.

I think Gary tasted too many in that same shirt â€“ marathon of tastings for us while he was awayâ€¦.

Slurring a bit on the start on the 3rd bottle and whatâ€™s with the itchy itch under the shirt ? and the unbuttoned spot mid shirtâ€¦.falling apart GV down the stretch â€“ hope to see you back new and fresh soon, tomorrow ? And no: “MOTT link it up”s ?

QOTD: Never even heard of St Aubin’s ….will add it to the ever growing list

I love white burgundy, and have for a decade. The 95’s were killer good! I picked a few up last year, cellaring again. Oh yeah, thanks a lot Gary for telling everyone!

QOTD – Haven’t had one. I’m being held back by finances and poor selection at liquor stores in the area. I should move somewhere closer to new jersey.

QOTD- my lack of knowledge about French wine, and French wine regions is holding me back from trying these. Based on your tasting notes though, the second one is the only one that I would really like from today’s episode.

Never had one and the production is only 150 hectares? I’d like to learn more about this region. But the price is right with hte dollar sucking!

Gary – What’s with the problems with the shirt? Missing a button and itching all over the place?

Why are there red wine corks on the table? Geez Gary, at least use the right corks as props!

Is Gary stripping during this ep?

QOTD: No have not had any St Aubin, but will look to try them in the near future. $40 a bit rich for sipping and swilling. I have had some French Chardonnays though and have enjoyed these for under $20. 2005 Chenevieres Chablis and 2000 Chateau Fuisse.

Great show Gary, thanks

QOTD: What’s holding me back….I live in PA. There are no good wine stores near me and we can’t get wine shipped in. But I’m planning to clean out Wine Library some time soon.

QOTD: Will definitely have too seek one of these out. Never had one.

I have had none that I could remember. And I guess there is no excuse, I will run out and get one! Thanks Gary!
