Good episode, I really enjoy watching the vertical tastings.

Thanks to whomever mentioned blue cheese drizzled with honey!!! Had some last night with a 2003 Rieussec,,,, ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS pairing…. thank you so much

GV,
Great episode. Catching up so I didn’t get a chance to leave a comment for the anniversary episode.
QOTD: Never had Sauternes before, but wife and I are going to a fancy French restuarant for our anniversary on the 26th and am thinking about seeking out a Sauternes if they have one. We almost always skip on the dessert, but this year we decided to skip on gifts for each other and just have a really nice dinner. Think it’s time to enjoy the evening and spend an extra hour trying some cheeses and hopefully a Sauternes after our meal.

QotD : Ofcourse I like Sauternes…there are other sweet wines that I enjoy much more but Sauternes can be really good…

Cheer up GV! Interesting show! Amazing to me the amount of people that watch the show and can’t take two seconds to leave a comment.

Q-Not had any, don’t currently drink much dessert wine.

Hey GV- We only saw the birthday episode yesterday and therefore missed out on leaving a comment before this episode- but it looks like its over 1000 now! QOTD: Its my fav, but I can not say I’m real experienced in dessert wines

Yo Gee !!!
Cheer Up already!!! 🙂 Just back-checked Episode #412 & i see 1071
comments & counting…….. Ya just got to have patience wit’ da
“slow-pokes”……. Liked da Tutorial about Chateau de Fargues/Sauternes!

QOTD: Used to drink alot of Sauternes, but not much anymore. Kinda
lost me “sweet-tooth”……….

qotd: yes

QOTD: Heck yeah, love the stuff. I tend to stick with the ones that run $35 and less for 375ml. At the end of a meal after the normal dry reds, these really refresh the palate. I also like Aussie stickies and PX from Spain as bargains in this type of wine.

Fella sooooooooo sorry for not adding a comment sooner on the 2 year ani, only getting to watch now, been very very busy at work.

The guilt game worked a peach on me.

QOTD: Love Sauternes, matches so well with foie gras.
Any thing that is politicaly incorrect to eat is fine by me. Love eating cute animals to.

Bambi anyone??

Looks to me like you hit 1,000 chief…shake it off. I haven’t had any Sauternes yet but I put away a bottle of 2005 Chateau Filhot…I’ll wait till I’m 50 to pop that one…an ’05 for 50.

I’ve only had the pleasure of tasting one or two Sauternes. I loved them. Gary, I see we made it past 1000! Hope you get your thunder back! Thanks for all you do.

What happened? I watch every episode, but sometimes a whole week at a time. It’s kind of a gray morning, made even grayer by the somber mood. You are an upbeat guy, keep it up.

We are not going anywhere.

Thanks for all of the shows.

WOW That was not good !!!!episode 442 ???? can you bring Gary Va-ner-chuck back to the show???? The next time you want 1000 comments i will post all 1000….
cheese was nice on the show .

I love the varietal, but there are not that many kosher Sauternes, but Yarden an Israeli producer makes a wonderful Noble Semmilon that is really interesting (esp 2003 vintage

GV, I’ve only tried one Sauterne and was a little dissapointed. It had awesome fruit but I didn’t feel that it had the acid to balance it out. Your cheese and Sauterne pairing had my mouth watering so I’m going to hunt down a couple more and give them another go.

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

Thanks GV

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.

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

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 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.

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??

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.

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.

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…
