    Excellent show and a great eye-opener on Vouvray. I’ve had Vouvrays before, but like you say, there just aren’t that many readily available, especially in Ohio. I really wish more Asian cuisine restaurants would have Vouvray on their wine lists because it definitely goes well with that genre.

    QOTD: Cleveland Indians (yeah, I know, my team sucks – but their still my team!)

    It’s all about the Dallas Cowboys and this could be the year. We got that cancer T.O. out of the building and Romo dumped Jessica. Now he can think clearly and we can win a SIXTH! Super Bowl.

  • Dude! Sooo UN-GARY of you. Your enthusiasm is what makes you great. Unbridled, I-don’t-give-a-shit enthusiasm. “I don’t give a crap what people say, I’m GV and I’m bringing you the shiznit” enthusiasm.

    I like the unrestrained Gary. (still, good show today)

    QOTD: USAFA Falcons. 1989, baby! (BOHICA “bend-over-here-it-comes-again”)

  • Jim in Atlanta

    My favorite team is the Packers. I stopped in Vouvray during a trip to the Loire in May. To my surprise I liked the sweeter wines better. And I brought home a bottle of dessert wine. Who knew (other than GV) that they made this stuff?

    Great episode! Love episodes about French wines, especially lesser known regions like this one. A blind tasting with some type of French wines would be great sometime as well!

    QOTD: Favorite sporting event is the Olympics, so I guess my favorite team would be Team USA!!

    Have tried Vouvray in the past but not so impressed, will try it out again.

    QOTD – Football, the University of Texas at Austin -Go Longhorns

    Overall favorite – The Texas Rangers baseball team. Yeah they suck most of the time but they are MY team! And we just got Pudge back today.

    Nice episode, I have been having fun exploring chenin blanc, my local wine proprietors keep directing me (excessively, I think) to south africa and elsewhere, so I especially appreciate the loire info….

    QOTD: sorry Gary, favorite teams are the Red Sox and the Pats, depending on the season and my frustration level….

  • Loved the show on Vouvray. Very much overlooked wines. But did you have to diss B&G Vouvray. That is my Mom’s favorite wine and (as you well know) you have to stick up for your Mom.

    Cleveland Indians are my team. Make me want to cry alot, but love ’em.

  • Gary G

    Yea, what Austin said. B&G is one of my mom’s and wife’s favorite wine. Though I don’t ten to like the sweet wines I do like the Vouvary with a touch of residual left.

    Believe it or not, I use to be a big Jets fan until they played the Broncos. (Saw Joe Willie in person play and get his knees racked.) The next year I was a Bronco fan.

  • Dewey Crepeau

    Thanks for the show on Vouvray. One of my 2 favs in the white wine world.
    QOTD:
    St Louis Blues just because I like hockey better than any other sport. But the St Louis Cardinals have a great history, hope the Blues catch up to them some day.

    Hey Gary! Loved the show today – totally agree that Vouvray is way underrated. If you haven’t tried any Savennières recently, it’s also an exceptional AOC for chenin blanc (which I’m sure you already know).

    Am behind on comments because I am an Ipod watcher but will try to come back to jot down some thoughts. And btw, what up with the deinflated opening here? Are you not feeling well? Bring back the passion!!

    Here’s my QOTD just for you: Do you ever get tired of talking about wine? (I don’t)

    GV – Awesome episode…. but please don’t ever start off like that again, it creeped me out.

    Teams: Honestly, I like more individual sports, but I would say the UCONN Huskies and JETS……
