QOTD – No joking around, the 1847 Ch. d’Yquem. A once-in-a-lifetime dinner held in Nashville for one of the USA’s most influential collectors. Black as tar and the viscosity of old motor oil. A liquified version of the greatest creme brulee you can imagine. Delicious.

Not the very best, but the most amazing QPR, was 2005 ChÃ¢teau des Graves du Tich, at $17/bottle.

QOTD. Well, my answer isn’t very original, but d’Yquem is my favorite. I have had it only a few times, at tastings, and it has always been amazing.

The 2003 Chateau Rieussec was really delicious. I hope I can find a bottle of the 2005 Doisy Vedrines here in Hawaii–doubtful though. That’s the bummer…no one can ship wines to this state!

qotd: I’m not so sure about the positive QPR on sauternes down here in PHX. You can only really find them in specialty stores and even then they’re 30-40 dollar half bottles. I’d like to try one though.

QOTD: I’ve only had Sauternes once at Xmas a few years ago that was just fantastic. I believe it was a Chateau Raymond Lafon 1996. It was really freaking good. But I’m ready to drink some more!

I had a dessert wine from Cadillac as one of my wine flights with a meal once. Cadillac is a Bordeaux apellation so, though not technically a Sautern it was probably made with Botrysized Semillion as well. It was quite good not that I was at my peak wine judging prowess having not spit all my previous wine flights. No regrets for that.
Cadillac wines main image problem might be that they sound like something someone might drink after running out of 40’s. I usually go for the bourbon when that happens to me.
FYI the Marquis de Cadillac financed the French expedition that set up the strategic forts over-looking “the straights” (la Detroit in French) between the 2 great lakes and was later immortilised for this by having a gaudy car named for him. Ironic, since he was known to be fond of dressing in cargo pants, flip flops and a black Rush concert T-shirt…yes they have been around that long.

Great show.
I just purchased both some of the ‘05 as well as some of the ‘07 futures of vedrines (even though the dollar will probably have rebounded by the time it comes to market). I also bought some of the ‘07 Doisy Daene since it was the year my daughter was born and it will be fun to have some of these for her 21st birthday, graduation, wedding day, etc.

QOTD:
I actually had the best Sauternes of my life just last month after dinner at Cryus in Healdsburg: a glass of the 2002 d’Yquem. I don’t even have the words for it. I’ve had some great sauternes but never a d’yquem. Now I know what the big deal is: it has no peer.

I can’t wait to see Gary’s reaction to the Jets + Brett Favre! I’m even more pumped to watch the next thunder show.

The Table wobble was driving me nuts, I don’t know how Gary put of with it. QOTD: Next time I run across one I am going to try it! Awesome Show!

Found the book on books.com.tw!!! Love that they offer 7-11 pick-up.

QOTD – 4UALL: What recommendations for NT$2K from Atherton in Bordeaux, Cote Rotie and/or Chateauneuf du Pape? What happens when I go down to 1K?

Happy Father’s Day and vive la Taiwan libre.

QotD: I can’t recall if I’ve ever had a Sauternes. I guess I should.

I have tried a few sauternes. I liked the 2004 Chais de MÃ©ribel. I taste the apricots and black pepper on the back of the toungue. 22 bones at your local Costo.

QOTD: Well I’ve never really been a fan of Sauternes, so I really do not have a favorite. I may need to try the 99 pointer from the show and see if I change my mind.

I’m expecting a special show on four dollar wines . . .

Re: Bottle Shock…
I have a sneaking suspicion, aka published reviews, that this movie might be funnier AFTER consuming a bottle of Chateau Montelena…

Re: Sauternes, no, unfortunately not yet, but some excellent and affordable New Zealand dessert wines made from Sauv Blanc and of course some delicious Alois Kracher…

QOTD: I have had a few Sauternes, and have enjoyed them…now this may sound ridiculous…but to be honest, Ive had them at dinner parties and restaurants..and I think by the time I had any, I was a little drunk!! LOLOL
OK, I promise to pay attention…. will seek out more
