QOTD1: Never had a Greco di Tufo, i think you memtioned it before on da
Thunder Show, but other than dat, never heard of it……..

QOTD2: Gotta get me somma dat Greco di Tufo !!!! 🙂

hahaha! 100 bucks!
QOTD1: I think I had Greco di Tufo by accident once, this was before I started writing down my wine notes, but at the time I thought it was a region or a blend.
QOTD2: As for what white wine varietal I’ll try next, we’ll I’ll definately try Greco di Tufo, but at this point, I will pick up anything I haven’t tried before. (Which leaves a lot because, I’m still a newbie)

Just getting into Italy, looking forward to getitng into the nitty gritty!!!

I went in search of Greco Di Tufo. I came home with 2006 Taburno, Falanghina. At the store, they told me Taburno also has a Greco di Tufo but it wasn’t in stock today. Since I’ve never heard of Falanghina, I decided to go for it. I was told it’s tropical. I’m expanding my palate!! It’s definitely another direction from the Gigonda I had last night.

Never had heard of it until your show, will look for it.

QOTD: I would like to try a Müller-Thurgau

wow, I thought zinfindel only came in white!

QOTD: taste some friggin kosher wines with your dad.

and explain why there is a mezuzah on your dad’s door to his office…

oops. where’s the edit button. that was supposed to go in episode 448!

Gary, these are my favorite episodes about wines I’ve never had. Love it. QOTD: greco di tufo

I’ve had the Vesevo loved it. I sell out every time I get it in(in the biz)
My next Italian white is going to be a Falingha excuse the spelling. Expanding the palate tryin new stuff almost every day, and enjoyin every drip drop.

It was fun to see Greco di Tufo appearing once again!

The first time I sampled this varietal was when our tasting group decided to have a “Build Your Own Pizza” Wine Night and I wanted to bring some interesting new varietals. Of course I ran straight to the computer to see if you had any WLTV episodes which featured “Pizza Wines” and there was episode #322 in which wine recommendations for pizza pairing were offered. You included two of the same Greco di Tufo wines (Aminea and Vesesvo). I had fun re-watching the episode to see how closely your tasting notes paired with the 2005 Vesevio as it was the same vintage as that on today’s show (New Score is actually 1-point higher too)!

The Greco di Tufo wines I personally sampled were 2006 Terre Dora and 2005 Feudi di San Gregorio.

As far as an “untried” white varietal from Italy I think I may like to try a Soave this week.

Great and informative show!

i’ve had really good vintages of the Torrincino. it can be really good. big up southern Italian whites!

QOTD: I’ve never had Greco (I had trouble finding it at the liquor store up here) and since everything else was Pinot Grigio (almost not kidding, I think I saw a couple Chardonnays too) I grabbed a Soave…I’d never heard of it and it’s from Italy, so that’s my Italian white for the weekend..

QOTD: Never had a Greco di Tufo, but I plan on having one now after this show. I’m sure I wont have a problem finding a place that carries this in NYC.

I am not a white fan to begin with so i don’t seek them out like I do reds. I have had pinot grigios, soave’s, but i guess i should try a Greco…

love the greco, have you ever heard of malvasia tried one in A.C. not as complex as greco but very good

QOTD Part 1: I had the Toricino Greco Di Tufo during the Super Bowl this year, it went great with teryaki chicken wings!

QOTD Part 2: I don’t know any other Italian wines. Next weekend I’ll look for something, promise!

Q-Greaco di Tufo, never had it, definitely going to give it a try!

You scored the same wine 90 points in Episode #322 (27.09.2007). Grats, quite consistent scoring. Got the message, I will seek it out and give it a try 😉

I’ve never had a Greco di Tufo.

A new Italian white varietal I just tried was made with the Kerner grape, Never heard of that one before! I wiki-ed it, and its a cross between Riesling and a red grape called Trollinger. The wine was from Alto-Adige. I think I’ve liked every white I’ve tried from that region.

When I saw that Aminea roll by on the this just in feed I put it on my wish list. Picked it up today and then started catching up on old episodes. I guess I’ll see what I think for myself. Should be interesting, usually the weight is my favorite part of drinking white wines.

QOTD: I can never remember what the question of the day is. My favorite Italian white was the 2000 Marina Danieli Colli Orientali del Friuli Pinot Bianco. I had it last year, any fruit it may have had was pretty much gone but it had a really great texture.

I’ve got that Greco di Tufo on the way so I’ll dive into that as my next Italian white.

Hey Gary. So, how do I claim my free Mott?

QOTD #1: Yes, but it was recently and it was a 2002 that had fallen off a LONG time ago, so although the nose was somewhat exciting, the wine lacked acidity and structure and disappeared almost immediately on the palate.

QOTD #2: I could drink more Greco di Tufo, Falanghina, Grechetto, and Soave.

Very good episode, I’ve been keen to try a Greco di Tufo ever since you bigged it up in an episode last year.

QOTD 1 – Yes, but only one and only a week before this episode at a tasting – strangely enough it was the Vesevo (but 2007) and I thought it was delicious, very fruity and one of the best wines of the night, I’m glad you liked it as well.

QOTD 2 – OK, I didn’t drink a new Italian, but I did buy one….a Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. I did have an Langhe Arneis for the first time 2 weeks ago.

I’m currently drinking a Santorini Assyrtiko which sounds EXACTLY like that 3rd wine you tried, the Petilia…. dry with a big rubber nose (!).

Well, I did taste a Falanghina last weekend! To attain the Wine Century Club certificate thing, I’m sure to try a Greco di Tufo some time.
Viewmaster – wow, they still make those!? I had one when I was a child (back in the stone ages). I used to poke out the scary slides.
