QOTD: Well, I’ve got two huge tests tomorrow…but I don’t really like that. Hmm…among the G-rated things I like to do twice in a single day is eating or drinking something delicious enough that it consumes every bit of my attention.

NUMERO DOS!!!
TOP 50!
QOTD: Well I know what I’d like to say, but the love life hasn’t been THAT exciting lately…so instead I’ll go with brushing the ol’ pearly whites…and having a fine glass of vino…and going for a run/walk (although I guess that’s just mandatory transportation to and from class or work).

JohnP,
Quick answer for you. Sauternes is a place in bordeaux, FR where the wine comes from. It is made out of the grapes semillon (mostly) and a little bit of sauvignon blanc. To make sauternes, producers leave the grapes hanging later into fall so that they become infected with botrytis. This is often called “noble rot”.
Ice wine on the other hand is usually made out of riesling in Germany, but you will also see vidal, chardonnay, and cab franc ice wines from other places like Canada or the Finger Lakes. Ice wine is picked when the grapes are frozen. Different places have different rules. The point of freezing the grapes is to get the most concentrated and therefore sweetest juice.
Google/wikipedia sauternes, or botrytis, or ice wine and you will get a much better explanation than i just gave.

Caught me off guard with the double-shot. Just ordered 6 bottles of this. Love dessert wines in 375’s- perfect for a small glass for 4-6 friends after dinner.
QOTD- Besides the obvious, some things I like to do 2x a day: poop (I know I’m getting my fiber then!) & shower (hopefully in that order).

Gary, did you plan the second episode all along or did you just decide after tasting six “Bronco Wines 200x blends from Trader Joes, 2, 3 or 4 dollars depending on your region, copyright 2007, all rights reserved, M-O-U-S-E, your mileage may vary” wines, that you needed to taste one more wine in one more bonus episode?
Just curious!

Thanks! We all needed that after the 2-buck-Chuck (not Chuk.)
QOTD: I like to workout twice a day. Keeps me happy and fit. I wish I could drink wine twice a day!

Well, while I love wine and, of course, a double header of WLTV — my 2x a day preference shades closer to Maria’s afore-mentioned ass!

This might have been mentioned before, but I could have sworn it was J-Lo that insured her tempestuous buttocks, not Maria.
Anyways, sad to say, despite the dozens of bottles of wine I’ve been drinking in the past few months, I have not yet once tried a Sauterne. I shall remedy that tonight, thanks Gary! =)
QOTD: Hahahah, man, I don’t know how you got this question off with a straight face – what a layup, indeed.

GV,
You redeemed yourself after the last one. Tried one of the sauternes you recommended before and it was lush. Guess I’ll have to order this one too.
QOTD: Golf, and the other thing you can be lousy at and still have a good time.
