I love viogniers-always looking for agood deal on these as there are rarely any inexpensive ones

Great episode, thanks for looking out for us Vayniacs and taping some before you left! Hope you’re having a great time!!!!

QOTD: No, soon hopefully!!!

Viognier a great summer time wine and Rosenblum Kathy’s Cuvee is one of my favorites and reasonably priced. I have only come across one Viognier that I was not very impressed with and that was Cold Heaven “Le Bon Climat Vineyard”

QOD: Have only had the Mollydooker Viognier. Not bad but not great.

Wow Gary, what’s the deal? You didn’t tape an episode for every day of vacation did you?? That would be nuts. Groovy, but nuts.

QOD – Yep, I love ’em.

Ha! He called Kahuna a moron and a jerkoff.

GARY, Thanks for flying up each day on your WLTV Gulfstream to crank out a quick EP.
(Should we call it the VaynerJET?) 😀

QOD: Never had a Viognier…but will git me sum of dis.

QOTD: Yes, a few. Some I can remember: Yalumba, Trefethen and Garretson.

QOD: The most memorable Viognier I’ve had was one out of Texas. McPherson Cellars. Don’t remember the vintage. Maybe Gary could taste some wines from “under the radar” states like Texas.

SS Chris and Italian Stallion.. you better check the wine list from the Hoboken meetup, if I’m not mistaken Barbotus brought a nice one. Oh wait that’s right SS you were LATE and missed it. LOL (sorry buddy)

GV.. great one again, hope you’re enjoying your time in the Sun. I’m glad you decided to mix it up for us this time and remembered to change your shirt. 😀

remember sun tan lotion….you don’t want to get your white Russian skin burned! QOTD: No there are a lot of wines I haven’t tried…total newb.

Gary- Thanks for the episode. You rock!

QOD- Only ones I’ve had were too spritzy for me. Have to try more.

BTW- Am I the only one who thinks Gary and Rex Grossman could be twins?

G-Money,

You are a rock for giving us a Vaynerfix while we are away.

QOD: Yes, only Cali ones though. Never a Frenchy unfortunately.

Love Viognier, but the best is Condrieu. Lots of new world ones are also good, but quite different. Have several in the cellar.

Wine Library TV-Lite — nice touch!

QOD:
Pre-Ep: No.
Post-Ep: Not yet!

Awesome. I dig viognier.

Last one i had (and i happened to REALLY like it) was the Eberle 2002 Viognier from Paso Robles.

yes, a few. some quite good. all the ones i’ve had tend to be high in alc. %

QOTD: The only one I’ve had was a Treana (unknown % of marsanne & viognier.) It was different from anything I’ve ever had, fuller mouth feel. Does anyone know how it compares to the viognier Gary featured today?

(Has anyone tried the Whetstone pionot noir? How was it?)

Waibeens, You got me….

Did I really miss that wine?

nope.. it seems you’ve called me on it in fact.

Serves me right to open my big mouth like that.. LOL

I was thinking of this: 1990 Domaine du Viking Vouvray Tendre

Vouvray / Viognier.. what’s the difference right? 😉

only 1 Viognier have I had, and tried it when I was first trying to figure wine out. Bridlewood Reserve. Somebody I know recommended this. I didn’t like it. Can’t remember why…..I should find another bottle and give it a 2nd chance.

Yes, I’ve had many a Viognier at restaurants, I don’t think that I’ve ever bought one. The Whetstone might be a good place to start.
