    great show gary. you can’t beat a show with ultra great wines. i get all excited when i see bottles like cos, latour… etc on your table when i click on.
    i almost bought the 05 cos, and now it is off the charts in price + i have a bottle of 2000 that i got for 1/2 of what the 05 is.
    QOTD, even in france, people are nervous of sauternes. the french like balance in everything and sauternes for them is too sweet. not everyone, but a lot of them.
    i spent a week in barsac last summer and got to taste quite a bit. it was hard to get appts at chateaux. anyhow, my favorite was a 95 coutet with some fois gras…..damn! i have a few bottles in my cellar of other stuff. sooo good… not for everyday though

    keep rockin’ it!

    Very nice show Gary, I’m dying to have both of these wines now..

    The BEST sauternes I ever had was Rieussec ‘04, even better than Yquem ‘96. Maybe the Yquem was not ready, I don’t know…

    I have had a couple Sauternes but none worth mentioning. I think my budget might be too small to get high quality dessert wines at this point.

    Great show. I’ve had some really nice Sauternes, but only at tastings, and am looking forward to enjoying them at the end of a meal soon.

    But I had to come back and leave a comment after reading about Farve coming to the Jets! Its a shame you’re away, but I immediately thought of you, screaming at some Indian bartender to switch the channel from cricket to football coverage. Good luck.

    Your passion was evident in this show. I just wish these wines were more affordable. Oh well, just my luck.

    Let’s hope, for you GV, that the J-E-T-S have to give up their first round draft pick next year. You know what that means!

    QOTD: I keep putting off trying a Sauternes. I guess I’ll have to breakdown and buy one.

    I can’t wait to hear you take on the Farve trade.

    I have never met a sauternes that I didn’t like. Can’t remember the name of the best I have had.

    Chat D’arche – it was light and airy enough to match a fondant covered cake.

    I like the book reviews.

    What everyone is forgetting, that “old man” led the packers to the playoffs last year. Also to multiple superbowls. He still sprains and breaks fingers in training camp if he doesn’t control his velocity on the throw. Say what you want, but Farve going to the jets is a good move. Maybe the Jets will have a decent season now.

    Speaking of the book, my favorite quote is from a footnote for wine #46. “The poop of herbivores is milder than that of carnivores, but should still be considered inedible.” Boy, there’s no tellin’ what trouble we poor, dumb Vayniacs might get into if we didn’t have Gary to advise us.

    1983 Chateau Suduiraut – Father shared at Thanksgiving 2 years ago. He picked up in 1987 for $12.99 (750ml) – Never see that pricing again huh

    QOTD: Never had one and I don’t know what is wrong with me! :(

    QOTD: Never had one. Never heard of this before. I will add it to my to try list. I hope Farve doesn’t bust his old ass.

    GV and BF BFF? When will Favre guest on the Thunder Show?

    I pick up a couple Baumard Coteaux Du Layon Clos Ste. Catherine from wine library last year, I uncorked one last year with family from out of town and an apricot cheese cake. QPR is through the roof with a $40 dollar price tag on a 750ml bottle! Awesome.

    GV,

    I can’t wait to see your reaction on Thursday’s show… What the heck is up with the Jets and Favre?! Your white knight Clemens seems to have been thrown into the backseat? What’s up with that? Do the Jets really think the old man can bring them the ring this year? Hope you aren’t in a corner secretly wearing a cheese hat this morning… If you are, hope you have a great wine with it as always!;)

    Sauterne Shmawterne. How about Favre going to the Jets?

    QOTD: Château De Rolland and also Château Guiraud. I own a small collection of Sauternes and dessert wines; love’em! Nice, nice show, Gary.

    Cute glasses. Have had a few sauternes in the past, but rarely enjoy their sweetness. Having said that, I’m sure I will go back to the well again.
