I’m crazy about spicy foods – the hotter the better!- and I love Gewurztraminer. My fiance also makes awesome black bean burritos with habanero peppers at home, and it’s great with that too.

QOTD: Virginia! I actually live in TN now, in a city which is half in TN and half in VA, but I’m a Virginia girl originally, and our wine industry is growing. 🙂

I’ve got a few bottles of the 2000 Trimbach Ribeaupierre and I here what you are saying about the quality of the fruit. The mouthfeel and flavors are GREAT! The intensity of the flavors, and the finish especially, are slightly lacking but it is a DELICIOUS wine which I would recommend trying.

QOTD: I’m in NJ so I think you should just hang out here and party with us!

Only tried Gewurztraminer once and wasn’t impressed. I will have to try it again soon.

QOTD: Another vote for ST. LOUIS

QOTD: New Mexico would be fun – Albuquerque, Santa Fe or Taos.

It sounds as though you received some emotional scars in 3rd grade, but you don’t need to bribe people to like you anymore. And I don’t need a bribe to get some gewurtztraminer. This could be an Alsatian summer.

QOTD: How about Europe? Paris would be great, perhaps London?

If you’re ever in Paris give me a shout, I’d be glad to kick you in the nuts or go out for a glass.

Umm, Gary, I think you mean “in the hizzy”?

“Hissy” is a type of fit… I’m just sayin’…

I’ve yet to try Gewurztraminer, but it does sound like something I’d like. *puts it on the list* Nice changes on the site.

QOTD: Uh, hmmm. I’d say come to Cleveland, but like, its Cleveland.

QOTD: we’d love to have you out here in the Seattle area, or at least somewhere in the Pacific Northwest!

Friday, Rieslings and now the Big G’s. My wife is loving this. I suppose next you will do Roquefort and Stilton with Port!!!

Hay Gewurztraminer! This was my first win I tasted and got me passionate it was at the Golan Heights Winery in Katzrin, Israel

Good episode today Gary.

QOTD- Back to Chicago of course!

QOD: I will always favor the west coast, but I’d think that perhaps there’s Vayniacs in Australia or New Zealand who want a crack at you.

Yup, Gewurz and Riesling. Gotta go buy me some.

QOTD: We would love to have you out to Seattle! Beautiful weather, lots of shell fish, great local wines!

wanna hear somthing that’ll make you smile, Gary?

Gewurztraminer is what got me really genuinely interested in wine to begin with…it was the first time i ever really enjoyed wine on the level of a serious wine drinker, and I’ve been loving it ever since.

QOTD: The areas where really good washington wines are made (and where I am) aren’t particularly interesting in and of them selves, but maybe Seattle?

Interesting show, GV. I have had a number of Gewurztraminers. Generally don’t like them due to the sweetness component. Just don’t have a sweet tooth. I know they are not all that way so your tasting was helpful.

The new past episode set up is an improvement. Thanks for that!

I have enjoyed the Gewurztraminers I have had in the past very much. Good show. FYI-Still waiting for the wristband…..

QOTD: How about Phoenix or Tucson…Just because you can’t ship to Arizona doesn’t mean us the Vayner Nation doesn’t exist out here.

More whites??zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Gary I know you had to ask the question to be politically correct. But we already know you are coming to San Diego next. Aren’t you? aren’t you? arne’t you? I thought so.

QOTD: So when you coming over the pond the the UK Gary??

And how about doing some German and Austrian RED wines sometime…?

GV,

Come to Tiger town and see the Tiges play. I’ll take you to a game. 1 behind the Indians…but that won’t last! Detroit’s a great baseball town and I have some jewels in my wine collection (I’m sure you do too!).

Later…

Gary, You’re right again. I’ve never had a Gewurz, but I just threw 2 in my cart. Thanks

QOD: OHIO! Your beloved Jets are playing my (not as beloved) Bengals the weekend of October 19-21. Great time to visit southern Ohio!

BTW, Stephane, about 17 comments up, sounds kinda scary. Is that some kind of French greeting or something? If so, I’ll never get my husband to visit France with me!! 🙂
