    So…..at $250 a bottle, are you suggesting I take total advantgae of my companies exspense account and charge overpriced wines to it without thier knowledge mearly for my pure enjoyment and solely at thier exspense leaving them to foot the bill while I party it up and enjoy myself…?????

    Hmmmmmmmm…….. Cool!!!!!

    I like your style Vaynerchuk……lol

    Nice digs…. of course there is nothing wrong with the regular set.

    QOTD – I have not had Sauterne, we will have to see what can be done about that.

    Good luck with the upgrade from Pennington, I guess you might need to get a new jersey for the wall although Brett does not strike me as a wine guy…

    Long time lurker lured out of the shadows here, not by the wine but just to say how much I am looking forward to a real-time recorded episode with Gary’s reaction to Favre’s arrival in NY. Gary, buddy, love the wine but when the press is throwing around comments like “biggest star since Namath” or “their most iconic player since the days of Joe Namath” – this is more important than wine… at least for today.

    Sweet show GV. It was quite fitting to see you taste those in Bordeaux!

    QOTD: Never had one, but I’ve been kinda waiting till I’ve gone to France again. :)

    GV… Great show!

    QOTD: I have had a few Sauternes in the past and really enjoyed them. I got a few on your CA sale and looking forward to them… school yard rubber ball and all!!!

    I’m almost embarrassed to say that I’ve never had a Sauterne. The prices have always steered me away. I think I’ll start looking at some 375’s though. I hear they’re perfect.

    Hi Gary,

    looking forward to the Thunder Cruise where I will be with my wife (celebrating our 25th Anniversary, her 50th Birthday, end of college tuition, and more!).

    I like Sauterne a little bit, but for pure QPR Thunder, I will virtually always opt for Jurancon Moelleux. These sweet whites can be had for under $20 and are delicious. As you know, they are from Aquitaine which is a little south and east of the Sauterne region, but are terrific. I have purchased some Jurancon dry whites from Wine Library, but never seen the sweet varietal. Give them a shot.

    Love the show.

    Regards,
    Karl B.

    Change of atmosphere is really wonderful! I will probably never set foot in Chateau Doisy Vedrines, especially whatever room you’re in when you shot this, but seeing you there is the next best thing to being there. Thanks for being a wine show and travel channel all in one!
    Great show, as always.

    QOTD: Love Sauternes whenever I’ve had them. Can’t remember the names of any. The last good one was in the secret packs WLTV put out earlier this year.

    Nice show and interesting choices.

    QOTD: I have only had a couple of Sauternes, but I liked the Chateau Filhot that you recommended to me last year. This one sounds phenomenal!

    QOTD: I dont remember having one.

    And about Favre….well, I positively know Gary isn’t even remotely happy about him going to the Jets.

    So right on about sauternes. Still a great value in the wine world and my personal favorite to serve to those peeps who do not like dessert wines (”too sweet, too syrupy” etc.)

    QOTD: ‘03 Ch Lafaurie Peyraguey. Brought two bottles to a tasting
    earlier this year and it killled it.

    GV – Fun stuff. QOTD – I’ve had a few Saut. that I can’t remember – but had them when I wasn’t into dessert wines. I’m still hard on Port, warming up to Sherry, and therefore will his Saut. again…
