Maybe this makes up for our bad weather!
🙂

Hey Gary!
Any time you talk about German wines you have
MY vote!
Very cool!
🙂

top ten, cool this looks like it will be a good one.

I have an hankering for Reisling!!!

Gary,
You’re the man. I was in the “too sweet for me” camp until today.
Thanks!!

I can now show this video to my fiancee as proof that reislings aren’t just viscous Hi-C

Thanks for this, I don’t know how many times since I started drinking wine in (1985) that I have been ‘dissed by you name it for my love of Rieslings of Alsace, Pfalz, Nahe etc. As a child I ate German gummis from Haribo called Weinland that have german wine in it and the name of the wine prodcuing regions on it. The variations in Rieslings are vast, which makes them so interesting.
Ok Gary practice with me = Schpaht-lay-zuh…Nice segment.

ok top 25

Where is the Vayner tasting glass

Just don’t have Reislings with BBQ that would be boring right GV!

Yes film away for while you are away- No question- Do one wine that you really like for each day that WL has in stock-

Great show Gary! I love rieslings!!! Perhaps i don’t drink enough of them right now though… I’ll have to search some more out soon.

In regards to your upcomming trip – have fun!!! If you are feeling a little burnt out, then just go and recharge your batteries (eventhough we all love WLTV and would miss it for a little while). How long will you be gone? If you are planning on an extended trip (2+ weeks) would you consider taping a show or two a week for us all?

QOTD – I’m not sure if i have a single grape i am addicted to right now (past phases have been washington state merlot, california petite sirah, and new zealand sauvignon blancs). Right now i am more about trying to expand my horizons than being addicted to a single grape (italian and some french wines intimidate me a bit, i think just because i don’t fully understand the labels and the regions)

Ass kicking episode!!!! I’m heading out for a Spatlese.
As for your vacation….I say take some time off and come back with the best episode yet. Maybe get Mondavi on, maybe Baroness Rothschild, Joeseph Phelps, Gaja, Engerer whatever but may it kick my ass!
QOTD – I am loving Pinot these days….I tried some of the central Otogo’s you recommended and am really loving them. I’m also getting into Nebbiolo’s!

If you’re on vacation, keep it that way and don’t bother taping. We have 169 episodes to play with. Nobody wants a Vayner burn out.

I loveeee Riesling! How about an ep on Gruner Veltliners?

Top 20? One day I will make it to the top. Maybe.

Gary,
Fantastic episode. I tried the johann Haart reisling and really liked it a lot. I am going to taste these and see how they fare. I can really see how they would work with a light cheese dip appetizer and with fruit for dessert.

I think you should take your vacation and take a break. I love WLTV, but it is ALWAYS good to take a break from work (even if you are so passionate about it, as you are) and recharge the batteries. I’ll miss you for a few days, but I believe you will come back even STRONGER!!!

QOTD: I have always loved Corvina (Amarone) but am falling for Sangiovese; the recent brunellos that I have tried have been mind blowing.

Have a great vacation!!!

Rieslings . . . I haven’t been impressed with them (I’m a wine newby though.) They don’t seem as complex as red wines. Maybe I haven’t had the right one. I will educate my palate and look for some of the ones you sampled today.

(Do you guys have pet birds in the office? I hear birds chirping on the shows often.)

Vacation – Take it and don’t do extra episodes before you leave. Great wine makers will not produce wine in a year that the grapes are not up to par. Leave us wanting more. Besides, we can always go back and watch the past episodes we missed!

QOTD – I’m addicted to fruit bombs, cabs and zins especially. Maybe it’s because I’m so inexperienced, but the Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Zinfandel grapes make my mouth HAPPY!

(If I was ever on a wine-cork basketball team, I’d want Gary as my shooting guard! Nice bounce shot today.)

Woo hoo!!! Just the episode I was looking for. Thanks for taking care of this subject GV!!!!!

I will be placing my order shortly…….

Repeat after me

Spatlese = SCHPAT-layzh-uh

Auslese = OWSH (as in Auswitz)-layzh-uh

And PLEASE stop telling people about riesling. We DONT need the Napa cab horde discovering our secret.

I just read an article about German Rieslings yesterday. Pretty interesting. How they stop the fermentation process to keep some residual sugar so it offsets the natural acidity due to the cooler climate, yada, yada, yada.(run on sentence?) Non the less, I have been using Reislings as a cross over or stepping stone if you will for the wife, tring to break her away from the white zins and white merlots. It seems to be working thus far, yet there is still alot of work to be done there…

QOTD: Anything Spanish latley
