Vernaccia Wines From Italy, Another White Wine To Pay Attention To. – Episode #457

May 2, 2008

Vernaccia is another classic white wine that is overlooked by so many as they focus on the 1 or 2 white wines they drink from Italy. I hate to pick on Pinot Grigio but I want people to expand their palates.

QOTD: Why not tour to Melbourne, Australia? Have you checked out wines from the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Rutherglen regions in Victoria?

Gary: on one of your future shows, I would love to hear your take on Parker’s lower than expected in-bottle scores for 05 bordeaux. Looks like the vintage of the cellar it ain’t!

QOTD: How’d you find time to write the book?

I wish I could make it to Bounce. I can’t believe you’re not coming to Providence on the tour. I can understand wanting to skip Boston, but Providence is a food & wine Mecca.

Happy Birthday Mrs. V(Gary’s Mom)If you have a favorite Barrista, what are you ordering at Starbucks if you don’t do coffee?

QOTD: I would ask if you cleanse your palate before you taste wine(no residual toothpaste, chapstick, mints, most recent food or drink)???? Also do you live in NYC?

QoTD: GV, what a fantastic question. I’d ask you this: If you could only have one more glass of wine *ever* what would you choose (and, naturally, why?)?

I agree with Kristen: That was *awesome* when Sasha popped in during the kegger yesterday.

Great week of shows. Can’t believe I heard back-to-back Mark Lemke references. The Commando reference was great too.

QOTD: Could you do another vodka show? On the last one you took those shots down like it was your job.

QOTD: If you were forced to drink wine from only ONE country for the rest of your life, where would it be??

Hey Gare, hows about coming to St. Louis…? Its central, you probably haven’t been here yet, plus the Rams suck ALMOST as much as the Jets. hehe

QOTD: Do you think that it is wise for people to try and realize a dream situation that isn’t a sure thing, even if they would have to give up a great situation in return?

Vernaccia has always been sort of hit or miss with me. I seem to have a better record with Greco and Falanghina.

I might be able to go to the book thing in NYC, but I’m not sure yet.

QOTD: What is your favorite film, and why?

QOTD:
It would be something like; “I’m sorry Gary but it is soooo far past my bed time we best call it a night. Don’t you have to work in the morning? He who riseth late trots all day.”

Scorpios just aren’t known for their intensity are they (she sez very sarcastically) They do make a good match with them Taurus bulls though.

QOTD: you sure you don’t drink a lot of caffiene? You’ve mentioned in a past vid-blg that you weren’t a coffee drinker but then here you say you have a ‘favorite barrista’? curiouser and curiouser…

Enjoyed a Lake County Sauvignon Blanc with some Port Salut during this episode…Happy Friday.

Anyone in SacTown want to make the trip to see Gary at a book signing in the Bay Area?

Re: Bookstopover – B’ham, AL!
QOTD: The Jets things is just a coverup for true Giants love, right?

PS. Keep hope alive, give Mott and Sasha their own T-shirts.
