    Riesling is my favorite white….thanks for the great episode….I’m not quite sure what you mean by, “what’s the plan?”…..but I’ll take a guess….how about knowledge equals $$$$$$……

  • Alexander Levitan

    The plan is to discover unexpected beauty and then share it with those you love thereby enriching it’s value for all.

  • when the QOTD marker pops up, why does it say “catpee”?

    the plan is to make more money than I am now, and spend more time with my wife and daughter. Is that possible?

    Had a Monchhof Estate last night that was a cut above ordinary entry level Riesling … unfortunately, so was its price.

    The plan is … wait, Henry Rollins has a TV show?

    The plan is to go surfing this morning and enjoy my dinner date tonight! Great episodes, you are now converting me to Reislings, or whites in general. Or actually it may have been that Vouvray I had with my friend’s vietnamese striped sea bass, cilantro and rice paper, or the Txomin Txakoli I drank that turned out to be a better pairing with homeade Paella than a special bottle of 2001 Rioja did.

  • GeneV

    The plan is to get my wine cellar finished.

    As you know, I love the rieslings, and also liked the Schoffit, though the last one I had in the fall didn’t quite ring the 90 pt bell.

    Great job!

    QOTD: “The Plan” is to pick up some more of that 2005 Coudert Fleurie Clos de la Roilette. I had a bottle before WLTV Episode 252 came out and thought it was the shizzy. Then Gary goes and tell the world about it. Thanks a lot GV!

  • Jeff M.

    The plan? Consume more wine, of course! How else can I make room for replacement friends in the cellar?

  • Robin

    QOTD: The plan is to figure out how to keep drinking great wines now that my husband is retiring and won’t be getting deep discounts on wines anymore.
    The next plan is to find Muscadet (struck out at Cost Plus) and other white wines I haven’t tried or don’t often drink.

    Don’t take it personally about the T-shirt. Though I notice that some people are coming through for you. I’m waiting for a red or blue T-shirt without a carcass on it. Something discrete and tssteful. I’m not holding my breath though.

  • I’ve had the Domaine Schoffit Harth 2004 Riesling and exjoyed every drop.

    The plan? More wine, more wine knowledge, and sharing the knowledge.

    QOTD: A challenging “employment” position where my comprehensive technical background will add value and contribute the wine, port, cigar and computer industry

  • Peglet

    My plan includes relaxing in a beautiful setting drinking riesling and eating bleu cheese with my handsome husband. Do I have a plan to get to this? No, but it is nice to dream…

  • portman

    Rieslings have a mixed rating in this household. The first time I brought one home, my wife almost spit it on the floor. Too sweet for her. Then I had a 2004 Lake Chalice from NZ. Very nice, the apple & pear action and dry. I didn’t tell my wife it was a riesling, because “all rieslings are too sweet” she says. She liked it. She thought it was a sauvignon blanc or a pinot grigio. “That wasn’t sweet” she said. So I bought another bottle, soon to be opened.

    QOTD: help my wife build her business, then enjoy the fruits of the labor.
