Interesting show. I think the cold wine was a good comparison, because some people might drink it that way, but it probably would have been best if the “flash-aged” wine could have been brought back to room temp because almost no one would drink wine hot. However, I like these shows that involve experimentation. We scientists are like that. I think it would be good to do a more extended experiment at room temp. Take the same wine, put a bottle in a fridge for a year to preserve it and not let it change. Put another bottle at ideal cellar temp, put a third bottle at about 80 F for a year and put a fourth bottle at about 120 F for a year. Bring them all to room temp and then taste them after the year aging. It would be interesting to see if the 120 F wine would be wrecked or merely aged as though it was four or five years at cellar temp.

QOD 39/M/NJ…Hi gary…why don’t you do an episode with the different kinds of Montrachet?

New viewer here!
Awesome episode. Most interesting part was the cork! Hmmmmm…something to look out for.
And I definitely think an epsiode on winesicles should be next.
“a little cold…lots of fruit….a bit of brain freeze on the finish…”

Oh, and my ass.

Great show Gary. Not may have asked for my ASS butt (sic) since you asked; 53, M, Northern California.

You’ve convinced me, Gary. I’m going to try overheating a couple of wines from a case that’s still a bit young. Let’s see how it goes!

Totally agree with you about the ice cold beer. I am not surprised you liked the wine hot– seems like it would have the reverse effect of refrigeration, amplifying the flavor instead of deadening it. I thought the salad dressing in the beer cooler, and your reaction, was pretty funny too. 37-M-NJ

The cooked wine’s not bad? As someone who has received and tasted cooked wines, any respect I had for your palate is lost. Try that wine after 6 months and see if you feel the same way… regardless, for you to think it’s not bad, I’m out.

Great Episode….interesting findings on the heat episode.

Had a Castello di Querceto 2000 chianti…I am not claiming to have had many, but this one was out of this world good, for a Chianti (which is normally not the wine of choice) Had it with an Opus X cigar….what an evening!

Fun show. But I’m not so shure on the validity of the results. Apparently a big and bold wine can stand the punisment. But what happens with a frail(er) wine. What about a old Pinot or a Gammay for instance? What about one of your favorites, a pouilly fume? I bet the results would be much different.
40 something fahrenheit? Come on… freeze it!
