    I totally on board, I can’t get enough sparkling wine! My Thanksgiving resolution was to, “drink more Champagne”. As for the QOTD, my favorite wine moment was in Madrid, Christmas 1999 with my dad and sisters. My first time out late with the adults. We were drinking whatever red wine the tapas bars had, and eating jamon & manchego, out carousing all night. But it was the first time I ever enjoyed wine as an “adult”.

    Hi all from France,

    Two points :

    1/ It’s Saumur not Saumar ;)
    2/ If you guys like sparkling wines, you should give a try to Lambrusco wines from Italy, the dry one are great !

    Good show - I would love to drink more bubbles, but my better half is not a fan.
    QOTD - Banner Elk, NC in 2003. Restaurant - Louisiana Purchase. Wine - 1988 Chateau Cheval Blanc. Toured the cellar with the owner and he let me purchase at retail from the cellar a 1988 Penfolds Grange Hermitage and 2 bottles of 2000 Lamborghini Campoleone from Umbria. He also threw in a couple of t-shirts!

    Bubbles, not just for kids anymore! I like the Marenco Brachetto D’acqui, I picked some up and it dissapeared.

    QOTD: My husband and I stopped for a night in San Gimignano and had the best wine of our lives: a 15-year-old Brunello di Montalcino. We had not ever tasted this type of wine before and were instantly hooked. We had a wonderful time tasting various wines from around Tuscany, but the Brunello stood out for us.

    I thought you were not supposed to swirl bubbly wines. Doing so destroys the bubbles which is part of the fun of these wines. Or am I getting this wrong?

    QOTD: Introducing wine to my fiance. She still is not 100% sold on it (she enjoys fruitiness). But teaching her how to taste and how to analyze it, and how its made has really opened her eyes up to a whole new world.

    I like it when you interact with Mott, it really changes things up, and usually makes for some funny moments.

    Congratulations Matt!!! My girlfriend and I will be joining you in that same accomplishment soon if all goes well.

    QOTD - Last year when my girlfriend and I decided to cook for the first time together, we made a quick stop at the wine/liquor store after doing the grocery shopping.

    We hadn’t yet discovered WLTV, and I didn’t know much about wines besides that California wines have a fruitier characteristic than French wines which have a more soily/earthy tones. Neither seemed appropriate to accompany our simple and healthy chicken and vegetable lunch, so we picked a funny-looking Chilean red wine. I can still remember the label, but not the name - that’s a great example of good marketing.

    That afternoon we enjoyed each other’s company in the kitchen (though not without some bickering about our different cooking styles), we then reaped the benefits of our hard work by digging into a tasty and wholesome meal, which serendipitously paired perfectly with our wine. Our afternoon lunch soon trickled into the early hours of the evening as our conversation flowed like the wine that accompanied it. Before we knew it, our food and wine had all but gone and we were still at our dinner table talking without a care in the world. That’s my most memorable wine experience.

    QOTD— Tasting Iron Horse sparklers at the winery on a beautiful morning with a little fog in the valley with my wife celebrating our wedding aniversary. It was our own little private tasting and it was spectacular. The wine was pretty good too.

    Enjoyed the show, GV. Your shows with guests are always entertaining and informative. Could the Korean beverage you mention be Bubble Tea???

    QOTD: My wife and I had an anniversary in 2006 where I decided to get a Sauternes for us, and hearing all the descriptions of how sweet and honey-like and all that, we both sipped it and thought that it was the most rotten tasting stuff we had ever had! I get the noble rot thing, but HELLO! Needless to say, there was some mildew on the cork, so it was probably tainted. That was a very memorable wine moment.

    Interesting show Gary. Sparkling wine is my beverage of choice, and have been drinking bathtubs full of Cooks Brute for many years. It just seems to have the taste that I really enjoy. While the DeVenoge Brut sounds fun, I simply can’t phantom spending upwards of $4.00 per sip for any beverage. While your guest liked the first two samples, I unfortunately am too visual when I drink, and don’t care to look at a reddish sparkler. Probably my loss.
    QOTD………I need to think on that one. Too many choices.

    Nice job, Matt! Congratulations on your graduation from med school!!

    QOTD: My favorite wine moment was when I was on a trip to Washington State a few years ago hitting various wineries tasting rooms and I came upon a small winery on Icicle Creek Rd just outside of Leavenworth, WA called Boudreaux Cellars. They only accepted visitors by appointment, so I called and reached the proprietor, Rob Newsom, and went to see him that afternoon with my wife after we finished a hike on 7 Lakes Trail a couple of miles up the road. He was outstanding. This was before he had finished his winery building, so the winery was pretty much in a large garage. He took us on tour of the winery-in-progress down into the cellar and we tasted several of his wines (which happen to be quite good) and played fetch with his dog, Roux. It was just a great time and I highly recommend a visit to anyone who does a Washington State wine tour.
