QOTD: I’ve not had anything made in Wisconsin!!! I just can’t do it, and you can’t make me!!!
Maybe too much Amana Colonies fresh Rubarb/strawberry “wine” growing up,, don’t know but I’m not going there,,,, ever.

🙂

Yeah, we’re not all wearing Cartier watches. 😛

Millions of peaches, peaches for me.

In the 1600s you would have been using a coconut shell to drink your wine.

Lemme check. Yup. ‘Seeked’ is still not a word.

I haven’t spent much time in carrot fields.

Brown rice with sushi?

QOTD: Muscadet. I’m sure I’ve had one but it doesn’t stick out for me. I love oysters so I’ll seek that pairing out next time.

QOTD: LAME – You need a vacation

Gary-Great EP!!!! Wish I was in Greece!!!!
Seeked is still not a word.
QOTD:
Never had a muscadet.
Thanks for the education on the varietal, location,etc!!!
🙂

QOTD: hmmmm…. I don’t think I’ve had a red Burgundy yet. I KNOW!!! It’s RIDICULOUS!!!!!

never’ve had a real champagne

Enough with the whites already zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I think I’m in the wrong demographic for WLTV,too old I guess.Nice knowing you

QOTD: I have never had an Aussie Shiraz.

QOTD: I never have had a muscadet, dornfelder, gruener, and lots of others. I’m working on it though.

I’m with Careyd, I’ve never had a Pinotage, but banana on the nose sounds pretty cool.

QOTD: I have yet to taste a Lebanon wine. Masur? not yet!
I have not yet tasted a wine from Texas or Virginia.
And while I have tasted many wines from NY State, Vemont, rhode island and Mass., I have yet to taste a wine from any of these states that I would actually want to taste again.
I have tasted a wine from New Jersey. You?

Gary,

I down load your podcast every day. I love reds and my wife loves whites. You really give me insight into wines and I have tried some based on your recommendations. I loved the Barolo session. I can’t wait to try your recommendations. I would love a wrist band if you have one. Keep up the good work.

Love the Muscadet bottle shape – it’s unique.

Greece. I’ve never had a Greek wine.

QOTD: Toss up between nice Italian wines (barolo, barbaresco), which doesn’t bother me too much, and Portugal, which I have a bottle of a Duoro called Quinta do Cao that I’m dying to try.

love those oysters and Muscadet on hot day – perfect lunch. well done. got an example of great Muscadet we should seek out here in the “fish bars” of the west coast? WTF are these places anyway?

QotD: Douro. help me.

That reminds me, in the interest of clearing up confusion:

Muscadet = white Loire wine made from Melon grapes (see above)
Muscadelle = a different grape found in white Bordeaux blends
Muscat/Muscatel = yet another white grape used all over the world to make usually sweet dessert type wines, although I think there are a few dry ones too

Sparkling Muscatel = one of the finest wines of Idaho!

Love the episode, Gary!! QOD: Have not tried the Priorat region, would be interested in doing so.

Oh, forgot the QOTD:

I never had a white Zin – should I feel guilty? 😀

QOTD: Never had anything from Bordeaux…changing that shortly. Also, experience with whites has been fairly lacking – discovered I greatly preferred red several years ago and havent looked back (in my early twenties). The recent episodes featuring white wines are opening my eyes though.

QOTD: I have never had any kind of white wine .. ever.

Nice. Try the top cuvées of Sauvion one time. They’ll definitely bring the thunder and they last in the cellar (not like the average Musc).
QOTD: Never had an Uruguayan Tannat. Maybe it’ll change shortly as there is a Casa Filguera in the cellar.

After four and a half months of drinking pretty much ONLY loire wines, I’m actually in the mood for a change. I’ve wanted an over-the-top cali Zin for quite a while, but they don’t import american wines in small french towns in the middle of a wine growing region. 🙁

QOTD: I’ve never had an wine from Italy.

QOTD: New Zealand SB…just haven’t gotten around to picking one up yet.
