Omar,

They don’t really “infuse” those flavors. The wine “triggers” the same taste buds that, say, a cherry would.

It’s quite similar to eating something for the first time and saying, hmmm, that tastes like (fill in the blank). Oh, I got a good analogy. The first time most people try frog’s legs, they usually say it tastes like chicken. But, we all know it’s not chicken.

Wine (well “real” wines) are made completely from grapes. The flavors come from grapes alone.

Solid episode!
I have a question to any vayniack that can answer it. I haven’t been into wine for long, but I’m wondering how do winemakers infuse different flavors (i.e. cherry, strawberry, apple, pear, pepper, truffles, etc.) into their wines?

Thank you

loved when you drank out the decanter…that was classy!

QOTD: Wow, I didn’t think the Professor would be so popular, but he was my favorite. And I agree with Rebecca, he’d definitely figure out how to make some wine (probably for the Howells).

Wow, I haven’t seen that show in so long, I guess Ginger being Marilyn-esque is the most memorable for some reason. You’re so right about everyone’s tastes being different, and evolving, it’s so true.

Rebecca
The professor! He was most likely to figure out how to make some truly tropically, nutty vino.

Off Topic, but just tried a 10 bone Aglianico called Ars Poetica – Vulcano.
Would love Gary to try it to tell me if this is an OAK MONSTER. I’m a newbie at this tasting stuff and I’d like to know if I’m right or not.

QOTD – Maryann is my favorite – I’m a sucker for the girl next door type !!

Ya Gilligan always maid me laugh. But it never occurred to me that Mr. Howell probably had a great collection of wine! That was a good point Chris in Tulsa.

Got my computer back up and running, so I missed a lot of the fun these past few weeks.

QotD: I think my favorite character from Gilligan’s Island would have to be either Gilligan himself, or the Professor. Everything happens to Gilligan, but it’s the Professor who started the whole “coconut tech.”

Way to get on the soapbox and preach it Reverend G – respect your “pal”!

QOTD: Was not a fan of the show. If I had to watch it I would focus on Ginger fo shizzle.

GV,

My favorite character is from ‘The Producer’, which aired October 3, 1966. Phil Silvers played Harold H. Hecuba III, who wound up stranded on the desert isle (didn’t EVERYONE at some point) and had the castaways put on a presentation of ‘Hamlet’.

Gilligan: “I never said I was an actor”.

Hecuba: “When the great Harold H. Hecuba III says you’re an actor, you’re an actor”.

Gilligan: “Okay, I’m an actor”.

Hecuba: “Believe me, you’re no actor”.

They don’t write ‘em like that, anymore…

Great show, good to see that the wine improved with its newer vintage.
QOTD I would have to say ginger because of her I refer to all redheads as gingers plus she was a very good looking women, close second would be the professor even though he did make all the stuff, but could never fix the boat

QOTD: The Prof of course.

I’m so glad you asked that question because NO ONE ever gives credit where credit is due: the island. My favorite character is the island. You can change Gilligan or anyone else but with out the island there would be no show. Thank you island.

Lovin me some kosher wine.
