    QOTD 1-Inniskillin Ice Wine vidal-Lots of papaya,tangerine,dried pineapple great balance and acidity,and the finish just keeps going and going.

    QOTD 2-How about a vertical tasting show for #600.

    Nice show. Will look for ice wine. As to being a Jets fan, and this is coming from a lifetime Packer fan (a team that lost a LOT between Lombardi and the Holmgren years and is losing a LOT right now), don’t EVER say you’ve “had the fandom sucked right out of you.” If you love the Jets, you love the Jets, even if they get their butts kicked.
    Now chin up! Eyes forward! And happy 600th episode!

    qotd: Never had ice wine, but I’ve had ice cider from Quebec.
    qotd2: If I had to guess, I’d say that some of your family would be on – since family is priority A#1 for you. Let’s say for the sake of fun that your wife will make an appearance on the program!

    PS: My two football teams are a combined 3-24 this year. Cheer up! – you don’t live in Michigan!

    The hubby and I have never had Ice Wine.

    For the 600th episode you should have your family on the show.

    hey gary, I hope you dont stop at 600 because if you do I will cry… and Im not joking I will just get up go to my room and cry myself to sleep on my huge pillow (like the reference to “I married an axe murderer”) anyway,

    QOTD #2-WLTV episode 600 “why we drink wine, not just about taste” :-)

    The Dolphins are going to destroy the Jets this Sunday. Brett Favre is old and sucks, and the Jets are choke artists since they beat the Titans. I mean the seahawks??? C’MON MANNNNN!!!!

    QOTD: Really like the Columbia Winery Ice Wine 2006…tastes more like a grape than any other wine I’ve ever tasted…delicious!

    qotd:
    Gehringer Brother Ice Wine (Riesling)
    Mission Hill (Okanagan side not Ontario)
    Paradise Ranch

    I really feel your pain. So much hope and expectation and lose to the Suckin’ Seahawks! I thought Favre had played in those elements before? Off to better things . . . wine.

    Great show on ice wine. Cool swirl which is quite intriguing walking the streets of Vienna where they warm it up like a hot toddy. It hits the spot.

    QOTD #1: Other than the icewine in Austria I’ve had the Mission Hill Riesling Ice Wine from Okanaga in western Canada. They make some very nice wines.

    QOTD #2: #600? It needs to be epic. How about bringing in the rock of your life, Lizzy, and sit back on the laid back couch and give us a look into what wines YOU are having for Christmas/Holiday dinner?

    Keep the faith baby.

    Cheers!

    QOTD1: had a couple canadian icewines, don’t remember the brands.
    QOTD2: obviously ep600 will be my dream come true– Robert Parker and Gary V comparing their “pal”s!

    Season over?…. what season? ….. oh, that season!

    QOTD – 2004 Ewald Pfeiffer Silvaner Eiswein, Pfalz. (Only one so far, had it last weekend, not bad, 88pts, give or take)

    QOTD2 – surprise me! (Must be something Christmas related, or would that be too obvious? – go on, be obvious!).

    QOTD: Our wine club really enjoyed the 2006 Whitewater Hill Ice Wine Chardonnay Zero Below from Colorado. Very complex and rich with notes of orange zest, pineapple and mango. Like liquid pudding! 29.5 brix for only $19. YUMMY!

    We also tried a Bonny Doon Riesling Vin de Glaciere Icewine that had hints of pear, pineapple and nectarine. They use a process called cryoextraction which involves freezing the grapes after harvesting, then extraction. This completely goes against the rules but it’s cheap, and it tastes great.

    Don’t stop at 600… maybe bring AJ and Dad into the show…

    QOTD 2: No way! I Got It!!!! your gonna have a secret Guest-Mot Dressed like Santa and you gonna do an episoade on Egg Nog ha ha ha.

    QOTD: Selaks Ice Wine 2005

    Great show as always Gary !!!!! And I hope you really dont end at 600!

    2 – I’d like to see more blind shows, and more shows where price to quality is explored at higher price points than the very common casual wine drinker’s $15-20 limit. I am looking, for example, for the $35-60 cabs that match or beat the $250 Napa wines. Parker usually finds some every vintage, but they are usually impossible to buy. Spectator claims to find some every vintage but often misses the mark with their tasting by comittee system. It would be very valuable to have a third wine person seeking out those sort of values so it is easier to determine what to buy by the case.

    QOTD1: Had a sampling of ice wine in the St. Catherine’s / Niagara region during a trip to Niagara Falls, Canada few years ago. I do not remember the vineyard, but it wasn’t Jackson-Triggs.
    QOTD2: Top vino values found in 2008. A top 5 (with 5 different price points – sub $10, sub $20, sub $30, sub $50, sub $100).

    I agree with another poster, let the Mottster run wild in #600!

    Don’t feel bad Gary at least your not a Lion’s fan, but then again who is?

    QOTD: Never had Ice Wine, sounds interesting

    QOTD2: Your announcement of a network TV show!

  18. December 23, 2008

    Kristen

    QOTD: I have never had an ice wine. I want to try one though… maybe next year =D

    I think episode 600 will be about wine and cheese! For 600 episodes there is nothing better than the ultimate pairing!!

    QOTD #1 Pillitteri, Vidal Sparkling Icewine – amazing and their Chambourcin Special Select Late Harvest (yes I know technically not an icewine but a great desert wine)

    QOTD #2 More bubbly Cava/Prosecco

  20. December 23, 2008

    QOTD: Never had one and it’s not on my to-do list. The word sweet frightens me a little when it comes to wine. Deliciousness sounds better but sweet scares me.

    QOTD: The next show may be the cava & prosecco show. Or maybe that’s next week. How about a last minute shoppers value wine show. Or hostess gift wine ideas.

    We predict; tomorrows show will be about the asti side of the bubbly.

    Time to get rid of the football b.s.

    This is a wine show ! Not a wining show about the damn Jets!

    Time for New Years resolution!
    How about getting a little deeper into wine making, makers, regions, maps, process, history. Short regional videos….Gary on site in the vinyards around the world!

    After all you are a wine show ………

    If I want to watch pissing and moaning about football….I’ll watch all the pundants who make a living pissing and moaning about the wrong play……blah blah…. b.s. Who cares except frustrated little boys; who think their macho, talking about football!!

    My idea of good info; is finding a Great bottle of wine for $15 that competes with a $50 bottle. That’s what I want to know !

    Never had an ice wine sounds delicous though

    I think that episode 600 will be about $100 plus wines.

    P.S. Vikings are in the same disapointment business so we feel your pain in MN

    QOTD: Never had one.
    QOTD2: #600… hmmm.. what would GV do.. Blind tasting to go with Christmas dinners?
    Or are you secretly looking for ideas for #600 so you just posed it to all the vayniacs?

  24. December 23, 2008

    Redmeat

    First off….I told you back at the Beginning of the season that the Seahawks would give me an early Christmas present with a win over your NY Jets….even though we had a HORRIBLE season….we still beat your Jets!

    QOTD…..Last Ice wine I had was last Years Kiona…..Best I have had in recent years…the 2006 Chateau St Michelle Chenin Blanc Ice wine…

    QOTD….I do not care what the 600th episode will be…but I hope Gary will make it all about family and bring in his fellow Vaynerchuk’s to show them the LOVE!!
