QOTD: Come to Tucson Arizona!!!!

QOTD: Come to Ithaca, NY……..the gateway to the Finger Lakes and the many woneries on Cayuga, Seneca and Keuka Lakes

Hey, huge, at last some gewürz.
QOTD: come to Brussels. All of us in Europe can join you there if we want to …

Come to Walla Walla.

Go Southeast, young man. Go Southeast.

Gary, I would like to know which food dishes always make you think of Gewurtz.

Hey, Boomer, one of my tasting groups in Birmingham, Alabama just got back from a road trip to Bern’s Staeakouse in Tampa. There were eight of us. We tasted wines and ate from 7:00pm until 2:30am the next morning. As I am sure you know, there probably wasn’t anyone in the wine world having more fun than we were during that time.

For those that don’t know, Bern’s has the largest collection (I believe) of great and rare wines in the world….about 1,000,000 bottles, with verticals going back for over 100 years. And the pricing is about the same as commercial wine auction.

Love the GA-Wirtz….as long as it’s not too sweet….and finishes somewhat dry.

Go to SantaYnez/Paso Robles. Some new great wines being produced and quaint lovely town.

Only remember ever having a single bottle of gewürztraminer, which was from the Alsace (can’t remember the name). I can still taste the lychee fruit. However, in my ignorance I thought it would be something like a riesling and tried pairing it with fish. That really didn’t work out, and sort of put me off – even though the wine by itself was pretty damn good. Will have to seek some out to try with oriental cuisine…

QOTD: I second TSchampaert, come to Brussels (or Paris/London if you must)!

KANSAS CITY!

I had my first gewurztraminer after i read online that it pairs well with sushi. and…it did! i think the high minerality went nicely with the soy and wasabi while the melon tones and spice was nice with all our rolls and seaweed salad. I would like to try it with indian or thai food now that GV mentions it.

Never had a gewurtz before, will certainly look into it, thanks for the tip to have it with spicy food.

I will clearly be outnumbered, but why not St. Louis? It’s the gateway to the west. Fall is beautiful here.

What do you mean by “Canadian Riesling” I thought Malivoire was a Gewürztraminer? 😉 You gotta get that fixed!

Gewürztraminer is one of my favorite grapes too.

Why don’t you make a show on the four different kinds of alsace: Ordinary, Grand Cru, Vendage Tardives and Selection Graines Nobles.

And do respect that wines mature and change with age!

Actually, one of the worst wines I ever had was an Alsatian Gewürtztraminer smelled and tasted like hair conditioner but I came back to others and they are good with really spicy Mexican food as well as Thai or even a really spicy barbecue.

Where to go. I would second Santa Fe. I’m there every other month or DC as that is the closest anyone will come to Virginia Beach.

100% with you on the under-appreciation of gewurz…great company for a hot summer afternoon…gewurztraminer feels so lively, lots of fun to play around with and figure out
QOTD: Yea, I’m close enough to just go and see you in Jersey

Gewurztraminer was one of the earliest wines I ever tried and I loved it, but I haven’t had any in years! Now I have a craving and need to go out and get some!

As for some place to go, how about the Seattle area? Plenty of wineries and wine drinkers to visit!

If NY/NJ is so easy then let’s do this. Have never had a Gewurz, but I will seek one out now. Let’s do a Vayniac tailgate at the Dolphin vs Jet game in Miami in early Dec.

CKC in the Hizzy!

Gary, Not only is Sedona one of the most beautiful/ overlooked destinations in the US. It is home to some of the best/overlooked wine that the west has to offer. Page Springs (Cornville, AZ) is a diamond in the rough, it is the bling on your ring, it is where I Rluna live!!! Not only will you enjoy the scenery and wine, you may encounter scorpions!, large spiders!!, and maybe…if you are lucky…A snake or two. May you choose wisely.

Good episode. I think the first/only(?) Gewurztraminer I ever had was corked which made a bad impression. I will try again for sure now.

QOTD: Austin, Texas, please.

Gary,
Love Gewurzt. I say Guwurzt ’til it hurts!
I have had the Trimbach 3 times and it is textbook Gewurztraminer. It is the only wine to pair with Indian curry.

I was wondering what country bore the name Vaynerchuk.

Cheers.

Biased, sure, but come to Napa.

Before I watched this episode, I saw the thumbnail and said to myself, “I’ve gotta post a comment and mention that this is the only wine I’d pair with spicy Asian cuisine.” You beat me to it!

Most phenomenal Alsatian Gewurzs that are hard, or usually impossible, to find in the USA, only in France. Here’s a job for the importers. The availability of these great wines IS COMPLETELY LAME. Listen up, Wine Library!

As a novivce it is great to here about and wines I have never had before. This definetely sounds like a great grape to try out.

QOTD: Roadtrip for GV to fans – Got Go with Dallas.

BUT. QOTD PART TWO: What about a road trip for GV and Fans to a locale?
– maybe go to some Oregan Vineyards.

Gary:

I just baught a gewurzrsmieserz&^&*$%$$$ – Can’t they shorten the name – Looking forward to trying it.

We love Geverz and Riesling. Come to San Diego. Not as good a town (culturaly, food, art, architecture, etc.) as my former, beloved Chicago, but great for tourists. Or come in the winter to escape NJ.
