    Gary,

    Just watched the show, what’s with the mood? You can’t let things get you down like that and not bring the normal GV Thunder that we all come back to see everyday.

    Your passion and normal excitement is what really gets me into your shows.

    QOTD: I adore desert wine, but I have only been lucky enough to try one Sauternes and it rocked my socks! Unfortunately the prices in NZ push wines like these out of reach of the average vino head.

    Cheer up Gary, I am new convert to WLTV and love it!

    Shooting you some love from NZ! Keep up the great show!

    Hey Gary, I just didn’t understand the order you tasted the wines……..why from 1990 to 2003 and not the opposite????

    GV its 3/6 and I just finished watching this depressing episode. Like you, and probably many of people out there, I like games and find losing very displeasing. More so went the confidence is rolling strong. You can contribute the blame my direction, I didn’t even watch the episode due to my schedule. Maybe, that should be taken into consideration,… or maybe not. Damn lurkers!
    QOTD: Have not had any Sauternes…

    PS. Dry those eyes GV, we’re changing the wine world.

    GV:
    Sorry to see the glum mood.
    You have to stick it out and show patience.
    I am a professional and I travel a lot and therefore I catch up on WLTV in almost 2 weeks worth of episodes.
    You had over a thousand comments by the time that I got caught up.
    So - just chill man!

    Sauternes - love them. I had my first Sauternes at Restaurant Jules Verne in the Eifel Tower along with terrine de foie gras (pate to us yankees). My wife is not a big fan, however we have not had foie gras together yet.

    Another to try is Pacherenc de Vic Bihl (spelling?) from SE France near the Pyrenees. Give it a whirl!

    Tried to email Gary directly using that link after the Anniversary show…got shut out 4 times. Sorry Dude…you can only expect us to work just so hard before giving up. I will try again since I have a comment /concern to share with him.

    Gary,
    Thanks for this episode. I am a huge student of wine and one of the most fascinating things I find about it is the story behind every wine. This was a good teaching episode and I especially enjoyed your information about the history of Chateau de Fargues.
    QOTD: YES, but it’s hard to find good ones at an affordable price

    Yes I do and I was actually lucky enough to try a young Chateau d’Yquem. Pretty crazy stuff, I hope I get to try an aged version so day. Cheers

    I have had one bottle and it was pretty darn good. I see the count finally went over 1000. Hope you are in a better mood, but sometimes it’s OK to be a little down, it make us happy when things are better.

    Wow! That was almost like watching a Sir Gary V episode. Amp up, Dude! Some of us watch about a week’s worth of episodes all at once so our comments appear a bit later than others.

    QOTD: Yes, I like Sauternes, but I haven’t had much. I did have it with Foi Gras and it was amazing. I bought a half dozen of the half bottles of the Chateau Filhot you guys had and it is a really nice dessert wine.

    Went to a whisky and food tasting, and ended up being given a 1/4 a bottle of yquem 95 from the guy sitting behind me who didn’t like the whisky paired with dessert, bought the wine and didn’t want it all.

    I am a little behind so watching this about a week late…Gary you did reach over 1000 for the anniversary show, better late than never, right?

    QOTD: I did have 1 inexpensive Sauternes, and I was not blown away. I would love to try one of the big boys though. A little out of my price range at the moment though!

    Great show Gary, you are an inspiration.

    Yeah!!! I love the low energy. NOT!! QOTD: Nope, never had a Sauterne. I don’t roll that deep. Yeah, when the father-in-law is buying…hmmmm…

    Is the color change due to the action of light through the clear glass bottles? Would the color change still occur if they were kept in dark colored glass? Just wondered.

    Not had a first class Sauterne a little pricey for this wine lover, I’ve tried a few 2nd class and have enjoyed them. The cheese is another great idea bring them on and I’ll try them along with you. As always you’re a show man up or down.

    Oh, Gary-missed you today! Your crazy enthusiasm is always soooo infectious. We need your “sniffy-sniff” and “tasty-taste”! Don’t let the lurkers get you down.
    qotd-love Sauternes, but also am quite happy with the less expensive late harvest wines. When are you coming to Oregon??

    Haven’t tried the Sauternes yet, but I will now. I’ve been happy to see a good selection of 375 ml bottles. I’ll pick up 1 for this weekend. Dude, cheer up. Your show still rocks.

    I actually think Sauterne is great. I thought the 2001 Fargues was great. I did not get the chlorine thing at all. Do you think there was a problem with the bottle you tried?

    Haven’t tried a sauterne yet, but I think the color alone has convinced me to give it a try.

    Been having some problems connecting to the Internet so I only caught about 2/3 of yesterday’s show. Actually been behind in watching since I got sick too. I have confidence that the thunder will be back soon.

    I love me some Sauternes. I’ve had 2 different producers- big fan of Ch Rieusac.

    I have never tried one yet, but made a note in my book in case I run across the opportunity.

    Thanks GV
