Gary…great Godfather arm stretch at the end. Molson Golden…cmon…Molson Ice Baby…would’ve went with the Eiswine episode.

For sentimental reasons my favorite after dinner wine would have to be that Peiroth 1976 Eiswine, but it’s purely sentimental.

whats up with video camera positioning today? u can see people walk by…

Not the best, but certainly the most interesting dessert wine was ice cold Federweisser in Rothenburg ob der Taube. Vintage 15 minutes. Fun stuff!

Gary,

Fantastic episode. I’ve been a big dessert wine drinker and collector for 10 years.(LH wines, port, sherry, madeira, ice wine, tokaji, muscat, sauternes etc.) My 2 favorite types of dessert wines, and in my opinion 2 of the best values in this arena, are PX Sherry(Pedro Ximenez)and the Tokay’s and Muscats from Australia(Stickies). You can find 95-100 point rated wines for between $20-$50/375 ML. Buller, Yalumba and Chambers are a few producers whose quality are off the charts.

Great episode GV!!! I am big dessert wine fans and actually have had the Jackson Triggs and loved it! My question is related to serving temperatures for dessert wines, specific ice wines and last harvest rieslings and the like. What are your thoughts? I like mine on the chilled side but does that mask the flavors of the wine? Please let me know! Thanks.

I’m a huge dessert wine fan. My favorite dessert wine has got to be a 1983 Warre Port I had a few months ago. I LOVE the icewine. I was kind of surprised that you didn’t open a bottle of Neige apple ice wine. Neige is the reason I first came to the WL website. I saw it featured on one of Andrea Immer’s shows and sought it out. WL was the only place that had it.

Great episode Gary. I love the ice wines…definitely underappreciated. How age worthy are ice wines? Will they improve over time?

Gene M,

I’ve taken up camera duties now and when I setup the shot I didn’t see the window in the viewfinder. But when I was editing the video I saw it too. Well I’ll get it figured out!

I forgot to answer the QoD. My favorite dessert wine that I have ever had (twice to be exact) was the Penfolds 20 year Grandfather Reserve Tawny Port. Absolutely amazing stuff. I have never had another port that could come close to it.

When I saw the Jackson-Triggs in the lineup, I wondered what you would think of it. I had it last spring, and thought it was da bomb. I was a bit worried that you might give it a pass, but I needn’t have worried. When you sniffed it, I was thinking to myself “peach jam, that’s what he’s got to be smelling”, because that’s what I smelled. Peach marmalade was pretty close. Not so sure about the Auto body shop, but I know exactly what you mean.

It’s good to know that we have similar tastes. The whole thing about wine critics, whether it’s you or Parker or whoever, is that it’s all about trust. Do you trust the palate of the critic or not? And that trust has to be based on something more than just a name – it has to be based on shared experience. That’s why it’s good to get confirmation from you on the Jackson-Triggs. We have a shared experience and a similar opinion. So next time you give a wine a 93 I have something to measure that against as well as an experience that tells me that a GV 93 is meaningful to my palate. I think WS gave it an 87. When I read that I thought they had missed the boat terribly.

BTW, I had the Braut and Sistra cab the other night, and was reasonanly impressed. good depth and complexity for the price. Another good recommendation. So far, to my palate, you’re batting 1.000.

Another great episode Gary….You really opened my eyes to Ice Wine. I never had a desire to have it, but after hearing the rave reviews, I think its time i tried them. Thanks Gary

Thank you for changing the site so we can click on the wines directly and viewing them in a new window without right-clicking and selecting “open new window”.

I have not had many ice wines, sauternes, etc, so I can’t answer the QOD. I most certainly will try now. I can’t remember an episode where you liked every wine, especially when you tasted 6 wines.

91 and one-half??? Nice score.

I would like to try a pure Petit Verdot. Looks like the only thing you currently offer is the Teal Lake (website says an Australian Kosher wine), and it is 55% PV and 45% Cab. Any suggestions on what to try?

Don’t know if you listen, but did you here Mike Greenberg on Mike and Mike in the Morning (a huge Jets fan) ragging on Herman Edwards this am?

Hey!! My gravatar finally changed! No more green grape leaves, it’s just pure grapes now. But I haven’t changed. 🙂

PS, Gray I didn’t mention your plan for the heat episode. Thanks for mentioning it! I’m really, really looking forward to it! Please make sure you address the core issue in my original question about how heat affects/accelerates aging. I mean, if heat accelerates aging, why store that Latour at 55 degress and wait 15 years to drink it? Why not store it next to the furance and drink it in six months? Obviously, something else is happening. That’s what I want to learn about.

I guess I need to root for global warming to hit in the next few weeks, huh? 😉 Can you give us a preview on what the 4 wines will be?

PPS, Thanks for another great episode. I never miss a one.
