Good tight episode gary. stumbled upon this one when i was doing some sauternes research.

QOTD: I would love to try some 69. I don’t have anything that old in my cellar unfortunately. I have a bottle of the 96 that I am waiting to open, here’s hoping that it is a good bottle as well as 3 bottles of the ‘03 Chateau De Malle, I am gonna open those in 5 year intervals. Patience is the game right Gary!

Nice little show. Too bad the memory was about to run out. These Chateau visits are always fun. QOTD: Yeah, whens he sending me some? Then I can let you know what I think. Might need a case just to get my tasting notes right.

GV!!! It’s been awhile….needless to say, I don’t have Internet (yet) where I’m working at my internship in France. But it’s been a lot of fun and I’ve even showed my internship supervisor your show! He definitely was confused at first, but he liked it. Now you’ve got more fans on the Continent!

QOTD: Wish I had the access to a ‘69, but hey, all in good time.

mixed feelings on this post, it seems a bit as a ‘commercial”. I like to see Gary on a neutral field, really expressing what he feels and taste.

Sauternes….definitely my favorite sticky!!! Have a few from the early 70s that need to be consumed….thanks for the reminder!

Great show Gary. Love Sauternes.

You should do a show on Monbazillac to offer less expensive alternatives to Sauternes.

Nice quick episode…and what’s this that you’re blending a reserve ‘07?

QOTD: I wish I had that money and that type of cellar!

Great show! I’ve got a ‘75 Sauternes that was waiting for a special occasion. Maybe today is it!

Good show!
I would love the opportunity to try a wine of this type at that age.
My closest experience was a German Riesling Auslese from 1976.
I loved the way it developed into such an interesting wine.

Thanks for the show Gary – I love it when you do a “quick hit” like that. Although I couldn’t hear your very charming guest very well… Cheers! Laura

Gary,

Can you get Brett on the show, I hear he loves wine. Maybe, you can do a show about wines in Mississippi! I hope he makes you better, & even if he does it will be 1 year. What was management thinking, do you improve 2-3 games and then he retires again!! 1 step forward, 3 steps back (get a new GM).
