    Listen to Terrance, Gary. Budget sparklings! I drink the stuff by the bathtub fulls.
    Have had a couple of Argentine dessert wines, but never an ice wine. The Kiona sounds like a possibility.
    Football? Come on now, who really cares?

    Hello – Have never tried an ice wine, but I’m sure I will at some point.
    Tomorrow’s show – anything, I just don’t want it to be your last, mmm-kay?
    Are you wearing black on account of the Jets? I think I can understand that. But they may well yet make the playoffs.

    A 39 YR OLD PASSING SHOULDER HAS SEEN ITS DAY.

    The only ice wines I’ve ever had were WAY too sweet for me. I don’t care for them.

    Tomorrow’s show… let’s go with “Wine tasting for family gatherings”. That’s the ticket!

    When I called Kiona, the young lady hadn’t heard any calls yet. C’MON VAYNIACS! GET ON THE PHONE!

    Q1: Yes I only had a ice wine once: Paradise Ranch Icewine Pinot Noir 2005

    Q2: I think it will something like 95+ from around the world, but i’m hoping you’ll do a show about late bottled vintage port. I think some of LBVs are serious values and perfect for Christmas.

    ice wine… sweet!
    Best ice wine, hmm. Sawmill Creek Vidal Icewine was pretty good but have to say I haven’t had one I really really liked yet.

    Never had Ice wines, are there sparkling ice wines? They sound fun.

    Since I like Cavas and Moscatos so I’m gonna say tomorrows show is on… cava and/or Moscato? Hey its gonna be new years- its all about the bubbly baby! :)

    And don’t worry Gary – look on the bright side- you could be a Detroit fan!!!

    PS. I have only been watching for a couple of weeks, I went thru the past episodes, have you ever done one on ports?

    QOTD: Never had one, so thanks for the show, I might try the Kiona shortly.

    QOTD II: Great wines to give as gifts?

    The two best ice wines I had were both from British Columbia’s Okanagan valley: Inniskillin’s 2006 Riesling Icewine and the 2004 Nk’Mip Qwam Qwmt Riesling Icewine. Both were amazing wines.

    Good for Kiona! Great Washington winery.

    QOTD2: I have no idea but it better not be the last show. This show is the highlight of my day.

    Bubbles!! You said you were going to do another show on bubbles and why not on the 600th episode?
    Go 600!! I love the bubbles too.

    QOTD1: Ice wine? I’ve had several dessert wines but the only ice wine I had was in a little tasting cup at a department store. Tasty but hard to really grasp when only having a teaspoon full.

    QOTD: Those budget sparklers you mentioned you’d taste during your snowstorm champagne show.

    Don’t be sad… it’s not over for the Je… ok, I’ll stop there. Don’t want you to pull the plug on the Thundershow out of anger ;-)

    QOTD:I’ve had a handful but I don’t remeber the name of the one that I liked the most! sorry.
    QOTD:Since your depressed, you should drown your sorrows in some fine Kentucky Bourbons.

    I hope you were just kidding when you said that episode 600 was going to be the last.

    QOTD: just had a Covey Run ice wine at Thanksgiving, it was real nice.

    QOTD: I think 600 will be about smurfs and my little pony’s?? whatever it is I am sure it will bring thunder.

    I just called the winery and the girl that answered had no idea what I was talking about. I must have been one of the first to call. I wished her a happy holiday from all the Vayniacs and wine Library TV.

    Fun stuff.

    Oh and yea Ice Wine rocks. Inniskillin Vidal is my favorite.

    QOTD 2: The Dolphins, because you know they make you smile on the inside GV.

    In case anyone is interested in how icewine is made…there was a good (albeit a bit of a fluff) piece on icewine recently: http://www.cbc.ca/video/popup_nlp.html?http://www.cbc.ca/mrl3/8752/news/features/allen-icewine-081220.wmv

    Gary: if you ever have a chance, you need to get your hands on some icewines from Nova Scotia (particularly from the Annapolis Valley). It is a lot smaller of a producing wine region than Niagara or the Okanagan – but being a lot cooler climate means the icewines have off the charts acidity, giving a much more balanced wine.

    QOTD: 2007 Gaspereau Vineyards Vidal Ortega Icewine from the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia.
