    Last Ice Wine I had ws from a winery in NY on Long Island and it was years ago. Good but not great – just not a fan of the sweet stuff.

    Sorry to say you’re right – the Jets season is over. There’s still another NY team in the mix though so how about converting to the “other side” for the remainder of the season??

    I’ve only tried one ice wine and it wasn’t memorable… I really want to find one now though, gonna have to go a hunt for that Kiona.
    Tomorrow, maybe the afforable bubbles you talked about last week?

    Sorry for your loss. I live in Seattle and still feel sorry for you.
    QOTD: Inniskillin Cab Frac Ice Wine! (mmm mmm tasty)

    Hey- lurker here and fellow suffering Jets fan. The best thing about Sunday was I finished the rest of my Aries Pecorino!

    QOTD: I got some ice wine from relatives in Toronto but I haven’t opened it yet.

    QOTD2: I think you’ll bring in a small audience of random customers from the store and your family to spice things up! Maybe, have a live Q&A after the show.

    Another great show.

    QOTD: Gehringer Brothers Minus 9 Ehrenfelser Icewine is probably my favorite,
    with Inniskillin Sparkling Riesling right up there as a close second.

    Happy holidays Gary!

    By the way GV my daughter was totally impressed that I got the big shout out on your show. It was replayed twice just to make sure we didn’t miss anything. She couldn’t help but notice you were greeting me Happy Birthday while playing with a plastic monkey! Are you ready for primate time Gary? (winking)

    QOTD: My favourite Ice Wine is the Inniskillin Sparkling Riesling. It will change your world it’s so good! The bubbles give the palate so much lift and refreshment….It’s nearly impossible to get, but if you have any connections, you should work them for a bottle!

    GV great show, nice to see a Canadian Wine back on the show..

    QOTD: Calona Vineyards Ehrenfelser, Private Reserve Ice Wine (2005)

    QOTD: I only wish it was on Foch

    QOTD 1: Never had one

    QOTD: Grrr, never had an ice wine before, but have had Tokaji’s. haha, I know those don’t count, but they’re in the sweet catagory.

    QOTD 2: Hmmm, I think you will bring out the more expensive wines and have a taste at them. You’re probably decanting them already, aren’t you ;)

    Had an ice wine once and was not a fan… That was before I got into wine though.

    Tomorrow going to be the day you do some txacolina?

    QOTD: I always though gerwurzt makes the best ice wine.

    I think Vidal is pronounced VEE-Dahl, after the French guy who made the cross. Gotta brush up on your almost totally obscure hybrids.

    You said Dirty Jers. That’s what (some) locals call the N.J. kids at the University of Scranton.

    QOTD: I ran downstairs to get some Inniskillin 2006 Riesling ice wine leftover from last night to sip with the show, so I guess that’s my favorite. I’m not much for sweet beverages, but I chose it to go with a lemon pudding cake souffle sort of dessert, and lemon pistachio biscotti, as the description said it had some lemon flavors, and indeed it did and it was quite perfect with the desserts. It’s pretty light and not too sweet.

    I hope tomorrow’s show is going to be cruise oriented maybe with everyone dressed up as a member of Gilligan’s Island and you would have an umbrella in your glass. A small one. And maybe your top most exciting wines of the year.

    QOTD: Tomorrow’s show? About the number 600.

    Sorry, haven’t had any ice wines yet. I hope to fix that this Christmas.

    QOTD: Ep 600? Maybe a visit with your family, Liz and Sasha at the very least.
